New Manufacturing suburb OF Montreal.
Just before the mighty st. Lawrence
reaches Montreal ON its way to the ocean
1t makes sudden descent of good
many feet. 1t does not do this in one
magnificent leap, as does the Niagara
river, but it plunges along over rough
and rocky bed which slopes somewhat
steeply eastward. If this descent were
all in one fall, it would make cataract
beside which Niagara would appear in
significant, for the river is more than
two miles wide at this point.
As it is, the great volume Of water
plunges and races down a rocky shelf
which is known as the Lachine rapids.
These rapids are about five miles above
the city and they lend to the voyage
down the ST. Lawrence charming
climax, for there is much that is exoit-
ing and exhilarating in shooting" the
rapids, even in a big steamer. So tn.
multuous are the waters after they have
whipped and lashed about the great
powders in the river that the big river
steamers are tossed about like corks and
the tourists hold their breath as they
see the jagged points race past them.
But, although the picturesque beau
ties of the rapids have been appreciated
from the earliest times, it seems that not
until comparatively recent date have
Canadians awakened to the fact that
here was a vast amount Of power which
could be utilized. Less than 30 years
ago the first scheme for Harvesting the
Lachine rapids was proposed. A com
pany was actually chartered, but that
was as far as the project was carried.
Since then many schemes for putting
the famous rapids to work have been
proposed, and promoters have formed
great companies on paper, but not until
| 1896 did the men arrive who were capa-
BILE of pushing the enterprise through to
success.

rHE RISE AND DECLINE OF A Bo-
MANIA KING.

Jerome II. wheelcr's Sudden Success In
the Colorado silver Mines 90 How He
Doomed the Town Of Aspen-Reverses
Thai Have Depleted His Fortune.
The life story of Jerome b Wheeler
is much more interesting than that of
the ordinary individual, although the
narration of the events in the life of
any person can never be wholly dull. 1t
is the story of the rise and fall of %
multimillionaire and contains elements
Of the highest dramatic quality. Be
ginning life in an obscure and humble
station, he reached a point where for
several years he was known as q bonan.
"a king In four short years his i'm
mense fortune has crumbled away until
today, while he is by no means bank
rupt or in danger of becoming pauper,
he counts his remaining dollars 3y the
thousands rather than by the millions
and the glamour of great wealth has left
him
About 1875 Jerome B. Wheeler was
an ambitious but impecunious clerk in
big wholesale house in New York
city. Later he made the acquaintance Of
Miss Valentine. 1t happened that
Miss Valentines uncle was one of the
firm of one of the largest department
stores in the metropolis When he mar
ried Miss Valentine, Wheeler went into
the big store on salary. In the course
of time the uncle died and left the for
mer Miss Valentine an interest in the
big store. That made Wheeler partner.
In 1879 the Leadville mining fever
struck New York and Wheeler caught
it. He promptly sold out his interest for
good sum and went to Leadville. By
the time he got there Aspen was just
beginning to loom up as the big silver
mining camp of Colorado. He was one
Of the few men on the ground with cap
ital, and although he probably made
many poor investments those which
were good yielded such big profits that
his capital rapidly multiplied. Finally
he bought the Emma silver mine, which
had begun to show good ore paying
$25, 900 for it. Soon after he came into
possession of this property rich vein
of silver was struck, varying from 40 tc
80 feet thick. The ore was enormously
rich, and in some places a single ton ol
it was worth as much as the origina
purchase price.
The Emma began to prove a veritablC
Golconda and Wheeler found himself
growing richer and richer every minute
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-06-17

Then he began to worry about the sound
ness of his title 1t seems that the mine
had been discovered by two poor pros.
pectors who had been GRUB staked" by
Colonel Archie Fisk, Confederate vet
eran. One Of the prospectors was Will
liam J. Wood, Canadian, and the other
was an old miner named Fitzpatrick.
Wood was killed in Leadville saloon
and Fitzpatrick disappeared. Fisk had
advertised" both men out of it and by
the terms Of mining law had assumed
full possession when he sold out to
Wheeler.
Knowing this history of the mine,
Wheeler took great pains to secure his
title. He found that Fisk had no right
to advertise out" dead man and that
the advertisement lacked just three days
of having been displayed for the proper
time. Then he hired lawyers and detect.
ives to trace down the Fitzpatrick and
Wood heirs. The former was found
alive and relinquished his claim for
$25, ,0G0. Wood heirs We're found only
after long search and bought off for a
small sum.
Then Wheeler was satisfied. He boom
ed things in Aspen at rate that made
him the talk of the country. He estab-
lished bank there and built one of the
finest manaions in the west as a home
for himself and family. He raised the
place from the level of mining camp
to city Of 0,000 inhabitants. Then
he went to Manitou and did almost as
much for that town. He entertained in
princely style and was held up as a
model citizen throughout Colorado
Then came the crash. One day a
quiet little fellow walked into Wheeler s
Office and IN the name of the Wood
heirs demanded possession of the Aspen
mine and big share of the profits
which Wheeler had been mi R.ng for ten
years. Wheeler ordered him out of the
Office. Preposterous as the claim seemed
then, it would have been economy for
Wheeler had he complied at once.
But he didn't. The quiet little man
began suits, carried them from court to
court, and in 1895 won a Judgment
which cost Wheeler nearly So. 600, 900 to
settle. The case was won on the point
that Wheeler settled the original claims
of the Wood heirs with money which
belonged TO them and not to him.
From that point ON Wheeler's mil
lions have been RAPIDLY slipping away,
and the latest signs of his downfall
have been the closing of his banks in
Aspen and Manitou. Mr.. Wheeler re.
sides in New York, but the swath which
he is at present cutting in society is a
very small one as compared to that in
which he formerly trod. 1t was case
where riches took wing.

money. 1t was sent to him and he re-
turned it. He persisted in refusing to
accept a cent for services which he had
not performed, thus establishing a case
for which there is no precedent.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Lehfeldt
could very we'll afford to refuse the
money, for he is worth over 5000, 900.
He has made most of it in sheep rails
ing. He was born in Germany SO years
ago and first settled in Iowa in 1870.
He took up farming and made a spe-
cialty of sheep raising. He has big
sheep ranch in Montana, but stops his
live stock in Iowa and fattens them on
corn before sending them to the Chicago
market, where they bring gilt edged
prices. Mr.. Lehfeldt has been married
three times and when nearly 80 years of
age became the father of pretty little
girl who is the pride of his declining
years.
