day. The miners soon learned, now
ever, that ''the dude" was game and a
good fellow, SO they overlooked his
sartorial eccentricities and made him
one of themselves.
He did not remain for long on the
five dollar schedule. He figured that
there was more money in working for
himself There always is, If man can
use his head. OF course If he only uses
his muscles he might as we'll keep on
working for other people.
Heinze won out in small way, but
concluded that he did not know enough
about the game. He therefore dropped
everything and went to Germany,
where he took an exhaustive course In
metallurgy and mining engineering.
When he was thoroughly prepared he
came back and won the world-of cop
per. AT one time he saw that there was
money in smelling, so he bought some
old smelling machinery, took it up to
the mines Of British Columbia, built a
railroad few miles long and soon had
things his own way. OF course the
Canadian railroads and smelters fought
him, but he had the advantage of loca-
ton and forced his adversaries to buy
him out at a big profit to himself.
With the money thus gained he went
back to Montana and began his cam
paign which resulted in changing the
politics Of the state and forced the
''frenzied" Amalgamated to come to
terms.
Comes Of q Famous Race.
In personal appearance Mr.. Heinze is
under the average height and looks like
boy. Every line of his face, however,
the curves Of nose, mouth and chin, all
indicate good old Teutonic pugnacity
and determination. Heinze comes Of
the race that produced a Bismarck.
Just what the future has in store for
the young copper Croesus"-the allit-
erative name by which all who make
money in coppers are called-is pure
matter of speculation. Some say that

senate. Others say-but what do they
not say? One thing is fairly certain
that he will continue making e.oney
and doing spectacular things. A man
at thirty-seven has only started in the
game of life. Heinze may even live to
be as old as Russell Sage and grow as
penurious He may lose all his hair,
like Rockefeller, though it is safe to
say that he will never put up the pious
front that John ID. assumes when going
out on piratical expedition. Heinze
is too much of good fighter and good
fellow to shine In Sunday school.
He has written at least one story in
his life, and it was not bad one at
that. He is hardly likely, however, to
bull the literary market, like Lawson,
or to write optimistic books of statistics
and prosperity prophecies, like Carne-
gle. He likes to make money too we'll
to spend his time in merely writing
about making it.
For one thing, Mr.. Heinze is said to
be the greatest smelter expert in Amer
lea, and that is no small accomplish
ment In itself. He is not the sort of
man to give up being first class smelt-
er expert to become third rater in the
book and magazine field. Happy is
that man who knows what he can't do.
Here is little story of Heinze's boy
hood that made me think more Of him.
After he was sent to school in Ger

AS general thing, do not particu-
larly fancy high fnanciers, but I do
like people with hearts In them, what
ever their outward circumstances. Ev-
identity the heart Of the boy Heinze
was large and sound. During his long
fight against the Standard Oil trust 1t
Is stated that Heinze while standing
by the open grave Of his mother had a
subpoena served on him by pious Johns

If one wishes examples of the two
extremes of generosity and meanness
let him take the little boy sending
his dollar to his orphan friend 5000
miles away and the overgrown corpo-
ration bounding man at his mothers
grave. The more we see of trusts the
more we love horse thieves by con-

Worked Hand In Hand.
In the many scores of cases brought
against the Amalgamated Mr.. Heinze
was assisted by his brother Arthur, a
lawyer The two worked hand in hand,
and the persistence of the one was
supplemented by the legal acumen of
the other. Case after case was won
not only against the Amalgamated, but
against Senator Clark and others.
There has seldom been a struggle in
the financial world more replete with
sensations and scandals.
At one time Heinze won the famous
Minnie Healy mine, worth at least
$1OOCO,COO. This was the blow that al
