order that made the sale of the mine
mandatory. This order had been grant
ed long before the trouble between the
Boston company and Heinze began.
Heinze remembered it, and, calling up
the order, despite the opposition OF the
Bostonians, he had the Michael Davitt
put up at auction. Before this Heinze
had bought the one-sixth interest for
$4,000.
When the Michael Davitt was put
under the auctioneers hammer 1T was
knocked down to one of Heinze's lieu
tenants for $4,000. but the purchaser
did not want it at that price. He be-
lieved the mine was played out, and his
object in having it putup at auction
will be seen later on. This time, to
prevent straw bids, deposit of $25, 900
was required. Heinze's lieutenant pro-
duced the $3.50 and man who was
supposed to represent Marcus DAILY put
up a like amount. A manager of one
of the great Canadian banks, who was
on a visit to Butte. attended the sale,
and, standing near Heinze's man, nod
ded approval to questions whispered IN
his ear by Heinze's representative.
Eager to get hold of anything that
Heinze wanted, the Boston crowd bid
feverishly against him and the man

Heinze stood aloof and watched the
proceedings with the face of a sphinx
1t must have been a strain upon his
nerves to hear the price offered for
the mine mount higher and higher

was $601.000. lie gave no sign. show-
ever, until this figure was reached
and then, according to a prearranged
signal, he threw his cigar on the steps
of the courthouse. His representative
stopped bidding and the mine was
knocked down to the men from Bos-
ton.
Heinze had gained his point. He
received 100000 for his one-sixth in
$4,000 on his investment. His Boston
rivals did not realize until long after
how cleverly they had been made to
play into Heinze's hand.
1t has been one of Heinze's pleas
ures to lead his own legal forces and
that he has done so successfully no
one who has followed the history of
his many litigations CAM deny. He
has never allowed himself to fear that
a plan of procedure which he has
mapped out for himself was impossible
of accomplishment because 1t was
without precedent or because other
men had failed along the same lines.

mind, Heinze strove to emulate the

said that but for the perhdy of sup

which extend from the Canadian
provinces to the Gulf OF Mexico. He

His Personality
Although of medium height, Heinze
impresses one as being tall man. This
is due to his erect carriage. He holds
his head high and walks with a DELHI
crate step that is characteristic OF men
who are. very sure of themselves. His
exceedingly we'll shaped head is set on
a pair of broad shoulders, and his hair,
which is prematurely gray, he keeps
close cropped and parted very near the
center. Hissforehead is high and broad,
and well marked brows shade eyes that
