At the time of this telegraph (during $200-400 HWAC# 79239 Nevada Territory), Morrow was the superintendent of the Savage Mine (according to the Collins Comstock Directory).

According to the History of the San Francisco Stock Exchange, Morrow was the first superintendent for the Savage and came to Virginia City at the beginning in 1859 when the Savage was involved in litigation. “He conducted it safely through all its troubles, litigation and early developments. He found its first body of good ore about the 200 or 300 foot level by drifting in through the Gould & Curry.” Morrow also brought William M. Stewart to Virginia City, so beginning Stewart’s long career fighting legal battles on the Comstock. Morrow got a board seat on the SF Stock Exchange in 1875. He was closely associated with the Bank of California and the “Bank Crowd,” working extensively with William Sharon until Sharon’s death. George Hearst also came to the Comstock in 1859.
