The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-03

Hill was made general manager, and
four years later became president. In
twenty years after this first rise to a
commanding position in the railroad
world, albeit only to the head of a COM
paratively insignificant company oper-
ating on the edge of a wilderness. Mr..
Hill has made himself, by his practical
contributions to the world of Transport
tat1on and the original ideas that he
has worked out to success, it's highest
living authority. And at the same time
he has wrought material changes upon
the face of the West and introduced
into railroad financing and manage
ment new principles whose scope and
meaning will be stated, there.
From the original 400 miles of track
OF this little system it is a far cry to
the 5000 miles of the Great Northern
railway, directly presided over by Mr..
Hill, and a still farther to the 10000
miles of the allied lines of the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific and the
Burlington systems, in which Mr. Hill
is so largely interested, and which
have been operated in harmony of plan.
Yet the gap between was not closed by
flying leap, but by the steady march
OF progress; and every step of it was
marked by the settlement of the coun-
try, the growth of cities and towns. the
rise of new industries, the multiplied
ton of activity and the spread of pros
perity in such measure as the world
has never seen within a similar period
before. The secret of it all is that this
has been no spectacular performance,
the fruit of no legerdemain and of no
weird modern finance, but a process as
well considered, as orderly and as gen.
timely the fruit of labor as the raising,
stone by stone, of some great edifice.
In summarizing or in estimating the
lifework of Mr.. Hill, the first problem
is to know whether to begin at the end
or at the beginning; for the two ends
meet in harmony. He has never
wrought without a plan; and that plan
has often pierced so far into the flu
ture, has required the cooperation of
so many agencies yet unborn, has relied
upon contingencies apparently so fan
tastic that no ordinary mind could
have found the connection, and few can

~ NY sketch of the growth of St.
M Paul during the last half CEN
in fury, and any reference to the
development of the Northwest
with which it is so indissolubly bound
up, would not be merely incomplete
but unintelligible without reference to
the work done by James ]. Hill, the
foremost citizen of the one and the
master builder of empire in the other.
This city is the home of the man
whose achievements command homage
in every capital of the world. Upon its
streets a familiar figure is that of the
man whose power of divination and of
execution, whose knowledge of condi-
lions and mastery of men, whose fore
sight and indomitable courage and in
telligent grasp of great principles have
made the growth of the city possible
by centering here a system of trans
portation agencies whose story is a
chapter in the history not of st. Paul
but of the world. He who would I'M
derstand the rise of st. Paul, pushed
into prominence and power by the
emergence from the wilderness of the
great commemorative of the further
West, and by the growing prosperity
of all its tributary territory, must find
the key in the story of James j. Hill
and his lifework.
Mr.. Hill was born of Scotch-Irish
ancestry, in Wellington county, On
tario, in 1888. At the age of fifteen he
was thrown upon his own resources.
He had not only acquired already a
pnnd Qdraatinn h11t
with avidity facts and idease that were
to lead to phenomenal success. Three
years later he came to what was a
mere village on the frontiers of civiliZa-
ton, and threw in his fortunes with
those of st. Paul. From the first he
was attracted to problems of trans
portation, and during those first years
when he was connected with river and
railroad business he was amassing
facts and ideas that were soon
to find field for practical appli-
cation. With the patience of true
greatness he bided his time, and when
the opportunity came he was ready for
1t, and those who became associated
with him had already gagged his Won
derful executive capacity.
This first opportunity would seem,
even to a financier of today, sufficiently
discouraging. 1t was the reorganiza-
ton of the old ST.

that was to move continents and shift

terprise was complete, the property
was reorganized under the name of the

Photographer L. Mclean Tuesday was
exhibiting an assay certificate of phen-
omenally rich ore taken from his Silver
Horn property on Ute creek. The assay
was 676 OF. gold, 1904 or. silver and SO
copper. value of si4.os3. 86 per ton.
The streak of ore from which the sample
was taken is over three inches in width,
and is opened up in the lower 200 foot
level east from the shaft. Frequently
when high grade ore is opened up by the
contractors or others the existence and
value is concealed in the hope that at
some future time the parties can obtain a
lease on the block of ground, aud other
times good ore was thrown over the dump
by miners, who. later endeavor to get a
lease on the dump.
The Silver Horn mine will be inter-
sected by the Burns Moore tunnel at a
good depth from the surface. The prop
erty is held under lease and bond by the
Golden Hecla NJ & NJ. company, COM
posed of St. Paul and Minneapolis
parties. All but the final payment has
been made on the bond, and this falls
due within few months. Work was
suspended short time ago, pending the
adjustment of some matters among the
stockholders. What future operations
are contemplated BY the company are
not made known, but it is likely that the
finding of this rich streak. which is be-
lieved to extend from the level above,
will decide them to continue sinking the
main shaft. This section of Ute creek
has produced much high grade ore in
years past and in the early days consid-
cradle rich ore was stolen from the Silver
Horn from which the owner received no
roy yalty. A number of shipments of ore
running over 1000 OF. in silver per ton
have been made.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1904-06-04

Another good ore body was opened up
in the Gum Tree mine this week by driv.
ing a crosscut from the fourth level of
the shaft back to the vein. The ore body
is about three feet in width and is almost
solid iron and lead ore carrying values OF
from $40 to SIoo per ton. The strike is
a continuation of the ore shoot IN the
levels above from which has been ex-
tracted thousands of tons of good grade
smelling ore. The ore body disclosed
will be drifted on in either direction, and
the slopes started as soon as possible.
The product from this level together with
that from the levels above will make
heavy tonnage which will add materially
to the production of the camp for the
present year. The Gum Tree adjoins the
old Freeland mine, and the character and
value of the ore taken from former are
Identical. There is some question as to
whether the ore shoots of the freeland dip
under the Gum Tree or from il, but in
either case the ore is there and so far as
opened in the Gum Tree is continuous
The heavy percentage of lead in the ore
makes IT q desirable product for the
smelters who give very favorable treat
ment charge on the ore. or about 81 per
ton for the average. The copper contents
are sufficient so tina, the smelter pays for
the copper as well as the lead. The value
OF lead alone in the ore is between $40
and SIS per ton. not counting the gold,
silver and copper contents. The mine is
equipped with plant for sinking to a
depth of 600 feet, and as fast as each
pair ofievels is fairly started the work
of sinking will be resumed
