 His work also consists in the manage ment of nearly 1000 natives of Southern Mexico, who are employed by his com pany. He is considered a phenomenal organizer.
 Since assuming management he has undertaken to improve the material and moral conditions of the Indians, opened schools, where English and Spanish are taught, and has introduced sanitary modes of living, hitherto unknown among this class of Mexicans.
 President Diaz has been greatly im- pressed with MT. Smiths work and has taken occasion to publicly express his commendation.
