The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-01-20

would erdeavor to enter the services of the Arizona Copper Company un- der MT. Carmichaers management.
 This opportunity came nearly four years later and for the past seven years I have worked in this district.
 During this period have come to know MT. Carmichael as one of the squarest, truest men I have ever been associated with and as a man who on account of his square dealing, possesses to an unlimited degree the faculty of generating loyalty in his employees. not only loyalty to him. self but loyalty to his company and to the district
 ''The matter does not end here Mr. Carmichael has always responded in full measure by his loyal support Of his employees in their successes, their difficulties and their ambitions alike.
 There are several of us here to- night who having worked under MT. CarmichaePs management in the past and have been retained to continue our work in this district under a new management As I view the matter, (and as I know MT Carmichael views the matter) we can best continue to express our loyalty to him by now working Loyalty under our new man. agement Beyond doing my work to the best of my ability ! have done little to express to MT. Carmichael my keen appreciation of the many kindnesses he has manifested to my self and to my family in the past seven years" a
 Tribute From p. G. Beckett

 Morenci. Arizona, January IT, 1922. MT. J. c. Cooper,
 Clifton, Arizona.
 Dear MT Cooper
 As I understand you are to be the Presiding Officer at the smoker to be given next Thursday to Mir Nor man Carmichael by his friends and associates of the Clifton-Morenci District. and as, by a stroke of bad luck ! have to leave for New York that morning, I wish to convey thru you to those present my very deep regret at not being able to be present to do honor in person to an old friend.
 have been privileged to know Norman Carmichael intimately for the last ten years, Ga short time, compared with some of you), and apart, altogether, from our friend ship, I have learned to appreciate to the full his splendid qualities as a citizen and as a member of the min ing profession. They are qualities for which I have the highest admiration and respect.
 And so, knowing personally the kind of man Norman Carmichael is. I can realize only too well the great and deep-seated regret that is so keenly felt by all of his many friends and associates in this District at see ing him leave us.
 As an observer on the outside can truly say-no body of men ever had more loyal, generous. sympa- thetic man to work for. or one who considered their interests more than he; no community citizen who was more with. them and behind them in all civic and community progress
 However, the silver lining to this particular cloud is that we are going to see Norman Carmichael back with us from time to time; and that he is going to share in the work of de- Veloping the economic possibilities of the ClftonM orenci District,-a work in which all of us, management, employees, business men and profess .sional men, must do our unselfish part if we are to succeed
 So, in parting, let me say to Nor man Carmichael: God bless you and prosper you. Come back to see us often, for there will always be a warm welcome for you"
 Yours sincerely.
 P. G. BECKETT.
