owner His first experience in mines
were not so successful as those with |
the Colusa mine, PARROT, and others
in Butte, with which he has been iden-
tilted, but STILL on finding that copper
had some value, he anaged to ac-
quire considerable area of ground,
which afterwards proved to be highly
productive.
1T is said that he was always stu
dent, and has taken a course in min

ally, l do not know this, at any rate,
he has made more money than any
! educated mining engineer in the coun-
try, so that, in his case at least, what
education he had has done him no
harm.
His reduction works in Butte were
successful, and he established pros
porous tank there, which he still
controls The rates of interest in
mining camps are always high and it
was not long before his Accommodations
multiplied. Still. he was not a Insurer
in the ordinarE sense. He took chances
