RETIREMENT OF
 CAPT. CHYN0WETH
Houghton Mining Gazette Has Words of Praise for Former Manager of Al louez and Centennial Mines, Who Is Looking after Globe Mining Interests

The Houghton Mining Gazette, the leading paper of the Copper Country, says editorially of Captain James Chy- noweth, president of the Superior X Boston, who is now in Globe:
 The retirement of Captain James Chy- noweth from the management of the Centennial and Allouez mines should not be passed by without comment on the very conspicuous part MT. Chy- noweth has played in the development and expansion of our copper mining in dustry. Few men of our times have been more prominent in the practical work of opening up our mines and few men have come closer to the hearts of the people of this district than Cap tain Chynoweth. That he retires Is a matter of deep regret. That he is in position to enjoy the days free from the enormous cares and responsibilities which active management of a large mine insists is pleasing to his many friends in the copper country.
 Few men in the United States today stand forth as better examples of the success that can be attained when a young man starts out with the proper ambition, inclination for work and the mental capacity to develop with his opportunities. Captain James Chy- noweth started to work in mine in Cornwall when he was lad of ten years. He has been working in a mine practically all of the time since. He progressed from drill boy to mining superintendent because he had merit. Putting boy of ten years to work in mine is not now considered to be an 1 incentive to ambition. In fact, in these days of humane discussion of the child labor problem it is against the law in practically every state in the Union and in Great Britain as well. And for fifteen years steadily James Chynoweth worked in the mines of Cornwall and in the north of England. Then he came to America. And when he came he knew just about all there is to know about practical mining. He had learned by hard knocks and honest effort. He had the kind of experience that only few of the very best miners ever get. He knew all about a mine and all about the best way to get the values out of the rock.
 ! Captain Chynowsth spent seven years as miner in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and in 1878 came to the Michigan copper district where his life since that time has been spent. He worked as miner and it wasn't long before his efforts were appreciated and he was given position as mining cap tain at the Mass in Ontonagon county. Since that time his progress has been steady and his success well known. He has opened up several successful mines in the local district and each time just when he brought the properties to a point where that successful develop ment could be realized in fine dividends the properties passed out of the control of the eastern management. under whose directions Captain Chynoweth operated. His greatest success is the Allouez and no man in the Lake coun- try today deserves greater credit for the present excellent condition of this magnificent property than Captain Chy- noweth. The Calumet & Hecla inter ests have taken over both the Allouez and the Centennial and it is a matter of knowledge that they were more than pleased with the conditions in which they found the mines, with the ex- cellent working shafts which surround ed and assisted Captain Chynoweth and with the prospects for the continued successful operation of these mines.
 The Calumet & Hecla people will be better able to carry forward work on both these properties One thing neces- sary to get the very best results from new copper properties is to be able, with adequate capital back of you, to go ahead with the development and exploration work on an elaborate plan Often this is impossible, particularly if the treasury is not any too fat. And very often Captain Chynoweth found himself fronting the lean treasury prop osition. His results are therefore, all the more creditable.
 The people of the copper country of Michigan will always have warm place in their hearts for Captain James Ohynoweth. He is one of us He is the kind of man you can slap on the back and say "Hello, Cap'n Jim" to-. And he will like you for it. And it doesn t make any difference if you are the superintendent of the mine next door or the trammer who works in his mine. Captain James Chynoweth re- tires with the best of wishes of every body in the conner country
