WHO HE is.
Brief Sketch of III. c. Frick, Controller
of the Carnegie Works.

Brief Sketch of HI. c. Frick, Controller
of the Carnegie Works.
Mr.. Frlck was born at West Overton,
Westmoreland County, December 49,,
1919. His father was farmer of means,
gave him good education and chance
to know the world, so that at 20 years
of age he was fairly we'll equipped for
life. he began it as clerk in dry
goods store at Mount Pleasant, and in
1869 improved his business knowl-
edge as book-keeper at his grandfath-
er's flour mill and distillery, at Broad
ford, Favette County. There he dis
covered the possibilities of the coke
business, and with fullness and clear
ness which confirmed his faith in it.
with such capital as he could command,
he bought an interest in a coal tract
near Broadford, and with some other
young men built fifty coke ovens. En-
couraged by his experience with these,
the number of them was doubled, then
more land was bought and the number
OF ovens again doubled.
In 1873 the panic came. Mr.. Tricks
partners, embarrassed by endorse
ments, had to sell their interests, which
he induced certain friends to buy. AS

IRON RIVER BURNED.
A New Wisconsin Town Wiped Ont ,
Fire

Fire.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July 24.-The
town of Iron River, Wis, forty miles
east of here. was wiped out by fire late
this afternoon. The entire business dis.
trict and depot buildings of the North
ern Pacific and Duluth, South Shore 4
Atlantic were burned, together with
most of the residence district. The
loss is roughly estimated at 100000
The fire originated in a store building
two blocks south of the Northern
Pacific depot. The big saw-mills
a half mile from town, escaped,
AS soon as it became evident the
town was doomed all efforts were
directed to saving personal effects. The
1000 inhabitants are in the smoking
streets tonight without shelter. 4 train
of freight cars was sent out by the
Northern Pacific in which people may
store the effects they have saved. The
town was practically without fire pro-
lection. Before the Superior fire de.
partment got out of town they were re-
called by message stating it would be
too late for service. Many Superior
people are heavy losers. The town of
Iron River was practically built this
summer. 1t was mill town and grow
ing RAPIDLY.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1892-07-28

the financial distress increased others
in the coke business were compelled to
sell. and Mr.. Frick was at hand to buy,
and ovens which he could not buy he
leased. Meantime his enterprise was
called rashness, and there were predic-
tons that the tide would overwhelm
him next, but he kept heart and struck
out the more vigorously, In answer to
these predictions. when the revival of
business occurred, he pointed to the
annual profit of the leased ovens as
greater than the value of the ovens
themselves.
He carried on the business in his own
name until 1878, when he sold share
in it to e. NJ. Ferguson. of New York,
when it was known as that of H. Z.
Prick d Co. In 1882 the Carnegies
bought large share in it and the name
was changed to H. c. Frick Coke Co.
It was then the largest coke company
in the world, controlling 10000 acres'o of
coal land and more than 1000 ovens,
giving employment to more than 5000
hands. While enlarging the output
every means was used to make it the
best in the world. To obtain pure wa
ter, works were erected costing $780,
900. AS result the coke was de-
manded for steadily increasing variety
of uses and it's reputation firmly fixed.
1t is said no other man ever saw SO
far into the future ofthe great Connells-
vile industry as did he, and certain it
is that no man ever ventured upon it
with more confidence, pursued it with
more energy. or reaped FRONT it greater
reward. A few years later be bought
an interest in the firm of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., and when w. L. Abbot
retired three months ago he succeeded
him as chairman. On July l all the
Carnegie interests were consolidated
with a capital stock of $50, 100000, and
Mr.. Frick was given absolute control OF
the gigantic concern. His wealth is
variously estimated at from S., 900, 00Oto
SS. 600. 900.

Guane, trapper, who has just arrived
from the Duck Valley Indian reserva-

She had seven children, the

children. Crazy Fish Immediately de-
cided to obtain the precious metal. Sc

she took her offspring. one at time, in

EIGHT ARE DEAD.
Explosion of Gas in q Pennsylvania Col
ltery.


PoTTsvlLLE, Pa, July pa frightful
explosion occurred on the York Farm
colliery about II O'Clock to-day, by
which eight men are known to have
been killed outright, and it is believed
that three more have also suffered the
same fate.
The explosion, it is believed, was
caused by strong feeder being broken
in two and penetrating safety lamp
and igniting the gas. The explosion
was terrific and completely closed the
gangway with several cars which were
on the track. Several men are known
to be closed IN, but how many or what
possible to ascertain. York Farm COL
liery is owned and operated by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company and the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com
pany, lessees. -Four years ago the
Lehigh Company purchased these work
ings, which at that time and for forty
years previous, had been abandoned
and we're filed with water. Several
thousand dollars have already been ex-
pended by this company in cleaning the
abandoned gangways Of water, retim-
boring and driving tunnels to intercept
the different veins, and great success
mas rewarded Lnelr eLOflS.
Loaded mine wagons are wedged
across in the gangways and rocks, and
timbers and debris are SO piled up on
them that the rescuers have hard work
n aking their way to the front. Work
men in distant parts of the mines say
the noise and force of the explosion was
something terrible. Men 500 yards
away were thrown to the ground. AS
soon as entrance could be made to the
mine, nun,berless volunteers offered
their services. The first brought to the
surface were the injured. Preparation
had previously been made. and the
requisite materials were on hand for the
speedy relief ofthe burned men. Ply
sicians at once took them in charge and
all that medical skill can accomplish
was done for him. The body of Thomas
Jones, of Minersville, was recovered in
the tunnel and brought to the surface
at $50, and it is expected that his COM
panions, Harrison and Hartsell, are near
by and will be reached in few hours.
Henry Madata, one of the injured, died
