F. n. PETTINGELL'S LUCK.
The Young Western Financier Tells
of His Achievements

Frank Fl, Pettingell, of Colorado
Springs, better known as the Napoleon
OF the mining market" called on friends
at the Treasury Department yesterday
morning. The young financier is a per-
sonal friend of Assistant Secretary Allies
and is on his way to New York where he
intends to thoroughly study the silver
question. SIr. Allies supplied him with
letters of introduction to the Sub-Treas-
urer at New York.
Mr. Pettingell is but thirty-two years
old, yet for six years he has controlled
the Mining Stock Exchange of Colorado.
Speaking of his early life, Mr.. Pettingell
said:
when / was nineteen years old /
earned s. a week an engraver in a sill
yersmith factory at Newburyport, in the
land of the bogus nutmeg. From there |
went TO Colorado Springs, where / en-
tered the First National Bank as clerk.
When the Cripple Creek strike was de-
clared / put my savings, which amount
ed to about $500 into some stocks
They went up and 1 resigned to give my
entire attention to mining deals. At
twenty-six / was elected Vice President
OF the Denver exchange and soon after
was it's president. Almost every claim
in which l was interested struck pay ore
and / began to accumulate wealth For
several years j have been president OF a
dozen mining companies with paying
properties at Cripple Greek"
In speaking OF his business Mr. Pettin-
gell said that he had spent $3.50, 900 in I'VE
years in newspaper advertising and that
il was a better investment than any
mining deal he had ever entered
LAS an Instance Of Pettingell'S luck. his
flyer in Gold Coin stock might be cited,
said an official of the Treasury Depart
ment He bought 10000 shares for ST. 100.
Since his ownership of this block of stock
it has paid him 81. .25 in dividends. and last
year while in Europe he was offered S70.-
