big companies and that the claims still
owned. by the old timers, were of little
liable were destined for those who were
already in the field. Heinze was a youth
of twenty, but equipped with all the
learning of the schools. He was an en-
gineer, a metallurgist and a writer of
promise and an excellent musician. To
bohemian tastes he Joined marvellous busi-
ness instincts and genius for affairs
that has few parallels. None who met
him then dreamed that this handsome
youth Of twenty ambitioned to become
the rival Of Montana's copper kings either
in politics or in business.
He stayed a year, and In that year he
gagged the situation with such perfect
true situation of Butte and Montana at
accuracy that he knew more about the
twenty-one than almost any man who
had lived in Butte since It's foundation.
He went back to New York to organize
a company to operate in Butte copper
mines.
In 1892 he returned to Montana and i'm
mediately began the erection Of a smelter.
While building his reduction works
Hefnze secured lease and bond on the
Glengawy, a mine that had been worked
by several and abandoned as worthless.
Every. one chuckled when they saw
Heinze's money spent in developing a
mine out Of the Glengarry and felt that
his ruin would be speedy But the Glen
garry proved talisman for Heinze In
thirty days he was digging therefrom the
finest ore In Butte and In such quantities
that he had to enlarge his smelling
works. He purchased the Rarus in 1895
for $400, 600. and, as luck would have 1t, in
few years the Rarus had developed to
a SI0 ,oG0 mine.

Francis did not cease on his Western
Journey until he reached Esmeralda,

Making himself conversant with the
land, mining and timber location laws,
Mr. Smith soon had timber claims to the
full extent that the statutes would permit,
and his lands were well selected. On one
of the wood ranches which he purchased
from fellow craftsman he erected a
cabin commanding an excellent view OF
the Columbus borax marsh, an area new
to industry in those days. for borax was
q drug known mainly to apothecaries,
who sold it at Is cents per ounce. It was
imported largely from Liverpool, and
commanded 81 per pound in New York
It was Teels marsh, the discovery OF
which infiamed San Francisco and the
whole coast when report of Its borax
wealth was made. Mr.. Smith took his
samples to Columbus, where the assayers
pronounced them to be the finest speoi-
mems of borate of soda that had yet been
produced in the country.
Mr. Smith resolved to push forward
that very night and be upon the ground
at the break Of day. Lucky" he says
.that I did so, for an emfssary Of my
Columbus assayer, sent out by his prin-
cipal to locate borax, was In the camp
on the edge Of the swamp"
In those days borax was regarded as a
salt which brought the lands under tho
saline laws of the state. and allowed one
to take up 160 acres at location. Soon
after the reefs marsh discovery this In.
terpretation was changed and they were
listed as mineral lands, subject only to
placer claims Of twenty acres. This ne
cessitated the relocating by Mr.. Smith Of
all his claims

He won the friendship and admiration of
the leading statesmen Of the Dominion.
and his operations turned the attention Of
the capitalists of Europe and America to

While Heinze was in British Columbia
he entrusted all the engineering of the
Rarus mine and its active development
to his superintendent. C. 8. Batterman
Batterman left Heinze's service to be-
come an ally of the Bostonians. and he
was summoned to- the Hub to PROFOUND

them $350000 for half interest In the
Snohomish mine, the east gextension Of
the Rarus, provided all claim was quit to
the Rarus lode. 1t was refused. Heinze
accepted the gage to battle, and the fight
