would become one of the mining mag
mates of the country.
What he did show, however, was an
unusual degree of pertinacity. Once he
undertook to solve a problem he would
stick at it until he had answered it to
his entire satisfaction. This faculty
stood him in good stead from the mo-
ment he first entered the employ of the
Boston and Montana company at Butte.
He was engaged by it as a mining
engineer at a salary Of So a day and
for months, in overalls, pursued his
vocation hundreds of feet below the
surface of the earth. All the time, how
ever. he was studying the conformation
and eccentricities of the various copper
leads and planning to turn to his ad-
vantage the knowledge thus gained, all
of which he sedulously kept to himself.
One thing he learned was the fact that
the title to more than one mine was
strangely involved owing to loose loca-
lions and relocations. He also discov-
cred that there We're vet deposits of
great value which a man with capital
could operate for himself. Then it was
that he began to have dreams of fu-
ture greatness and to cast about to
find a way to establish title as a min
ing monarch.
Less than two years after his arrival
in the mining camp Heinze turned his
steps east again, intent on finding CAPT
tai that would give him the start he
needed. By the death of his grand
mother he fell heir to $4,000, as did
each of his two brothers. Otto and Ar
thur He persuaded Arthur to invest
his capital in Montana mines, and
there then sprang into being the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company, nest egg
of a great fortune. Back to Montana
he went and forthwith erected a big
smelter greatly to the amusement of
wiseacres. who foresaw speedy failure
for the tenderfoot. But they did not
know the caliber of this tenderfoot
nor were they acquainted with the
fact that while he had been earning his
SIS a day he had been acquiring knowl-
edge which was invaluable.
In order to secure ore to keep his
| smelter busy Heinze leased a mine
from James A. Murray. and the litiga-
ton which has made his name so wide
ly known may be said to date from the
day of the execution of that lease. 1t
was not long before Murray dissatis-
fed with Heinze's conduct of the mine
and asserting that he was not getting
his fair share of percentage. brought
suit to annul the lease, obtaining an in
junction which shut down the mine.
The case was eventually settled in pri-
vate, but the ball of ceaseless litigation
had been set in motion Heinze had
purchased the Rarus mine and, greatly
to the surprise of experts who be-
lieved the mine exhausted, was soon
extracting considerable ore from it.

at the same time not allowing the grass
to grow under his feet in the search for
new mines, search which was capped
by the discovery of a new bonanza,
known as the Cora and Rock Island.
Personally Heinze is good to look
upon. He is always dapper and even
when employed by the Boston and Mon
tana people never failed after working
hours to exchange his overalls for even.

Clancy not long age, again being in
favor of Heinze. 1t is reported that
once his opponents. through H. H. Rog-
ers, tried to effect a compromise with
Heinze. offering him $3.50 900 in cash for
his claims. With inimitable sang froid
he is said to have made a counter de-
mand for $1,000, OOO and the incident
was hastily declared closed.
Perhaps nothing shows the tireless
energy and remarkable versatility of
this young man better than his political
campaigning against Marcus DAILY
Heinze bought newspapers, imported
writers and artists, inspired cartoons,
formed glee clubs to sing odes written
for the campaign, wrote pamphlets and
took the stump, speaking in English or
German, according to the audience
Those who heard his speeches say that
they were marked by wit, terseness and
eloquence. At all times he was whirl-

recalls the name of the Italian Caglio-

Giuseppe Balsamo, and he was born at

he had been sent by his parents, but
was recaptured and placed in mon

and ere long he was on the highroad
to wealth, doing a lively business in
dispensing what he was pleased to call
the elixir of immortal youth. Italians,
Germans Russians and French were
numbered among his dupes, and every
country in Europe was visited by him.
Eventually he fell into the hands of
the inquisition and was condemned to
death, but the sentence was committed
to life imprisonment.
France was the scene of his most dar-

work. may not inaptly
be deemed the climax in the sensation
al litigation which-has been waged for
years between the Standard Oil inter-
ests and F. Augustus Heinze, the pug
nacious young millionaire who has been
cutting a wide swath in the commercial
and political world of Montana almost
ever since he first invaded the copper
country in 1899 The decision of Judge
Clancy granting an injunction restrain
ing the Boston and Montana Mining
company and the Parrot Mining compa-
ny from paying dividends to the Anal
gamated Copper company was the prox-
innate cause of the cessation of mining
operations in Butte and was also of mo-
ment as showing that if Heinze had not
permanently worsted his opponents he
had succeeded in holding them at bay
And Heinze, be it remembered, million
aire though he be, is a man who is not
yet thirty-four years of age. Small Won
der that in him and in his success cap
ftalists and students of human nature
alike find a problem worthy of the most
serious consideration.
On the surface heredity and early en-
vironment have not contributed much
in the direction of placing this young
millionaire in the position he holds to-
day, but those who search below the
surface will find that, as usual hered-
ity and environment have been oper-
alive factors to no small extent. F.
Augustus Heinze was born in Brooklyn,
Dec. 5, 1859, his father, Otto Heinze,
being a New York merchant of German
descent. The youthful Fritz-by which
name the lad was known until he elm
mated all of it but the initial in con-
sequence of his playmates clubbing him
German Fritz''-did not as a boy dis
play any signs of the remarkable per-
sonality developed in later years. He
was educated in Germany and later at
the Polytechnic institute in Brooklyn.
Before he entered the latter school,
however, he had shown very plainly in
what direction his inciinations lay, for
his mother reports with pride that even
as a boy his greatest pleasure consisted
in the study of minerals. After his
course at the Polytechnic it was but
logical that he should attend a mining
school, and accordingly he was en-
rolled at the Columbia School of Mines.
from which he graduated in due course
in 1889. Beyond displaying a marked
aptitude for mineralogy, there was
nothing in his college course to warrant
the suspicion that within a decade he

a sect of Luciferians and veritable
body of devil worshipers. Cumulative
evidence was heaped high in this vol
ume, adding fuel to the fire already oc-
casioned by the revelations of one Di-
