railroad had reached Harvard. After brief experience in commercial life he made the overland trip to California to search for gold. All he found he worked for in sawmill at $l.5O day. Then the war came along, and he en- listed as volunteer. His service was in keeping the Indians in check along the frontier. He became deeply in- terested in the red man. and when wealth came later he devoted large part of it to perpetuating the religion. life, and traditions of the American Indians.
 BEGINS BUSINESS CAREER
 After the war Mir. Aver returned ,O Harvard and took contract for sup plying the Northwestern railroad with wood for its locomotives. This was the beginning of his business career. He extended his field to supplying cedar for telegraph poles. and at last moved to Chicago to enter on wider field. His sales reached gigantic proportions. Ties for many hundreds of miles of tracks were furnished yearly during the days when the railroads were push. ing out into the far west.
 ''It is too far to ship ties to Arizona from Chicago" Santa Fe official said once to MT. Aver. In few weeks MT. Aver was sending ties to the Santa Fe from his Arizona sawmill.
 One concern with which Mir. Aver is identified sold 6.OOO,OOO ties last year. Another, the Texas Tie and Lumber Preserving company, treated l.6OO,OOO ties for southern railroad service. He owns the vessels to carry his supplies and operates on a large scale, yet for years he has not been tied down to his office. He is said by his friends to give much thought and little attention to
The Coconino sun., 1899-01-28

Edward K. Aver, who resigned on Saturday from the presidency of the Field Columbian Museum, has achieved national reputation as gatherer of "Americana." His vast collection, which cost him in the gathering not less than $l50,OOO is deemed the finest in the world. Ever since the Worlds Fair Mir. Aver is said by his friends to have devoted more time to the museum than to his personal business. Much of the success of the museum has been due to his work and liberality. To the Chicago Historical Society, the New berry Library, and the Art Institute, he has given bountifully, of both his time and fortune. Seventeen per cent of his life's accumulations have been devoted to upbuilding the public in- stitutiOns with which he has been con- nected. He has been strong and per sistent force for advancement and wider usefulness.
 Mir. Aver is the son of Judge Aver, who lived in the early days at Harvard. I'll. In his bOyhood he drove team from Harvard to Kenosha with wheat from the farm. That was before the
