CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Thanking the Arizona Volunteers. Whereas, The officers and men of the first regiment of Arizona Volunteers have, by the valuable and efficient service they rendered this Territory, in hunting and destroying the wily and implacable Apache during the past year, earned our warmest gratitude and highest praise; and, Whereas, They have inflicted greater punishment upon the Apache than all other troops in the Territory, besides ofttimes pursuing him barefoot and upon half-rations, to his fastnesses, cheerfully enduring the hardships encountered on mountain and desert; and Whereas, The financial condition of our young Territory will not admit of our offering a more substantial reward, and expression of our obligations to them; therefore be it Resolved, By the House of Representatives, the Council concurring, that the thanks of this Legislative Assembly be and are hereby tendered to the brave and efficient officers and men composing the late first regiment of Arizona Volunteers. Whereas, The successful accomplishment of the navigation of the Colorado River to Callville, has been effected by the indomitable energy of the enterprising Pacific and Colorado Navigation Company; therefore, be it Resolved, That the thanks of every member of this Legislative Assembly, for themselves and their constituency, are due and are hereby tendered to Admiral Robert Rogers, commander of the steamer Esmeralda, and to Captain William Gilmore, agent. Resolved, That this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the Council. CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Regarding Hon. Richard C. Mc Cormick, Governor of the Territory.
