SUMMIT COUNTRY, COLORADO
a Cenver Paper Says It Rests On e
Geld Ledge Foundation.

The following interesting little de-
scriytioa Of the mining outlook in Sum
nit county, Colorado, published in the
Mining Reporter, certainly depicts
brilliant future for that section. If the
statements are true it is a wonderful
county and in any case it is a boom
article worth reading:
Summit county, Colorado, stands
unique among the counties of the state
in that her fame as a producer of gold
is far greater than her gold production
has warranted. She will be unique in
the future because of reverse condi-
tiors.
Heretofore the beautiful crystalline
specimens have everywhere been ad-
mired ard none more beautiful have
been produced. Hereafter the produce
ton will be so large the beauty of her
specimens VIII not be an important
item.
The next great mining boom in Colo
RADIO will be in Summit county. It's
center will be at Breckenridge. The
question is often asked, Where will
the next Cripple Creek be found?" We
do not know. The SanEre de Christie
range may answer the question.
Breckenridge will be a second Lead
vile. Leadville is one of the great
mining camps Of Colorado. Her future
is filled with promise. In many re-
spects Cripple Creek and Leadville are
similar. The greatness of both camps
has been made by leasers. This is only
possible in a formation which almost
insures a profit upon the investment.
The owner of such a mine has only
to lease his ground in blocks TO the

how the pork packing industry began,

itself: it grew up and we took hold of
it and helped it by hard work and by

Simeon B. Armour was asked short
ly before his death to what one quality
more than another he ascribed their
phenomenal success in life. He an
swered.

virtues possessed by our father and

DANFORTH AND JULIA ARMOUR


en- good common school Quotations
Philip entered seminary. but left it
before his term was over.
Simeon B. Armour used to tell, with
considerable pride, that in his oyhood
days he often walked up in winter morn
ings to find on the coverlid of his attic
bed snow that had dritted
in through the chinks of
the old log farmhouse. Simeon grew
up tall, why ana of athletic build. In
his young manhood he was the best
wrestler in the neigh borhood.
1t is told of Phil D. Armour that he
was not christered Philip at ell. He
was,nsmed after his father, Danforth
Armour. Mr.. Armour is quoted as Civ
ing this explanation recently of how he
got the name of Philip:
81 was named Phil after a colored
man who lived in our neigh borhood and
was the terror of all the boys. The
name of the fellow was Phil Morgan,
and he was up to ali sorts of capers,
and 1 suppose because L was so full of
pranks myself the boys called me Phil,
too. The D. in my name stands for
Danforth. That was my fathers name.

business over to Joseph. The New
York firm was organized under the
name of Armour, Plankington & Co.
II. o. Armour proved himself a most
efficient merchant of great financial
ability.
The firm name of II. O. Armour &
Co., grain and produce commission
merchants, was retained in Chicago
till 1870. AS early as 1868 the packing
of pork was begun on large scale.
The name of the firm ives changed to
Armour 81 Co. in 1870 and that year a
branch house was opened at Kansas
City under the name of Plankington &
Armour, and placed under the manage
ment of Simeon B. Armour, the elder
brother. The failing health of Joseph,
who was in charge of the Chicago
house, finally led to the removal tfrom
Milwaukee to that city of Philip D.
Armour, in 1860 Four of the brothers
had thus been joined together in
common business interest. The
Armours' Banking company was or
ganized in Kansas City in 1879 espe-
ciaily for the brother who yet remain

But the boys insisted on calling me
Phil, and Phil 1 remained, my
mother finally consenting to call me
Philip D. Armour"
Philip D, Armour was the first OF
the brothers to leave home. In 1852
he caught the California gold fever,
which at that time spread over the
whole country, and he went overland
to California. 1t is told that be really
left home because he was humiliated
at being expelled f.om the seminary
he was attending.
In California Armour dug gold,
worked around the mining CAMPS and
learned the butcher business. He re-
turned to the farm in New York in
1856 with some money he had saved.
He stayed few weeks and went west
again. this time to Milwaukee, where
his brother, Herman o. Armour, had
trading business. Philip went into
the com mission business in Milwaukee
and in 1868 formed q partnership with
John Plsnkington, who had run
small butcher shop there since 1874.
In time the meat shop became small
pork packing house. Plankington
was the pioneer of the packing indus
try in the West. He died in 1891.
Mr.. Plankington recognized the abb
lily huC DuSlueSS 6uSTky VI VII. faTNlouE
and took him into partnership in 1853
The business grew rapidly after that.
Fl. o. Armour was connected with the
business too. He left Milwaukee in
1862 and went into the
grain commission business in Chi
cago. and brought his youngest broth
err, Joseph, there to join him. Phil
Armour and PlankinRton had an inter-
est in the Chicago business. In 1865

success. Andre~ Watson Armour was

from an article in the Kansas City
Journal:
S. B. AsMOUR'S LIFE.
Simeon Brooks Armour was born on
a farm in Madison county. N: Y, Feb.
ruary 1, 1928. He was bred to hard
work on the farm and lived there till
1870, when, at the request of his broth
er, Philip ID. Armour, the great packer
of Chicago. he came here to open a
branch of the Chicago house. For sew
eral years before this it had become
evident to Philip D. Armour that the
store producing power of the country
was moving westward and to keep
abreast of the movement the packing
house in Kansas City was established.

1856, to Miss Margaret Klock of Oneida,
N. Y. They had no children. Mr..
Armour once said: II helped to rear
all my children before 1 was married."
meaning his younger brothers and sis
tiers. He was the eldest of family of
eight children and it took long hours
of hard work on the farm in New York
to meet the expenses of SO large fam
lily.
Mr.. Armour's most marked charac-
teristics were great insight into
human nature, great business tact and
vUd nd
simplicity of character and life, and
great tenderness, kindness of heart
and sympathy for those in trouble. He
was easily touched with the misfor-
tunes of others. 1t is told of him that |

ed for him. A great deal of the good
done by him will never be generally
known. He gave away money quietly.
He dreaded to have these gifts
known,
Mr.. Armour had great pride in the
Armour family and name. His loyalty
and devotion to the family was very
delightful and full of sympathy and
genial humor.
Mr.. Armour said recently to a
friend:
ST have never been able to get over
knowing the value of dollar. My
early training in the habit of close
economy has stuck to me-
