He had lain there a long time, when

Pushing back his sombrero from his

METEoRic CAREER OF NEW MEM.
Der OF BANKING FIRM.
Why Famous Financler Has Chosen
Henry p. Dawson for an Aid-Suc-
cess Won by Energy, lnteg-
rity and Brains.

New York-Among the men who
have won their way to fortune and a
commanding place in the financial
world will have to be written the name
of Henry p. Davidson. late vice-presi-
dent of the First National bank. but
who on January l became partner In
the banking house of j, p Morgan G.
Co.
To men of finance the name of
Henry p. Dawson is very familiar,
and stands for all that goes to make
affairs, for although but Al years of
age, Davidson has made himself felt
as a power in the money morld.
Henry p. Dawson Is strictly a self
made man. Every dollar he possesses
he made from the raw material of en-
ergy, hard work, application, honesty
and quick intelligence. When about
10 years ago he came to New York
from Bridgeport, Conn, he was merely
a bright, active enthusiastic young fell
low, who had had little experience
as bank clerk in his native town of
Troy, Pa, and in Bridgeport. He had
few hundred dollars, but his real
capital was in his head.
The little money he had then can
not be considered as even the nucleus
of the fortune he has acquired since.
for Mr. Dawson does not owe his sue
cess to frugality and saving; he owes
1t to keen business foresight and
knowledge of finance, and to the conf
dence of moneyed men he has won.
He was born in Troy, Pa, little
town near The northern border of the

convention, and they are awaiting his
answer before going on with plans
for the meetings. The western COM
mittee wanted the council in October,
but the eastern section eabled this
could not be.
Already plans are under way for a
celebration continuing several days Of
the four hundredth anniversary of the
birth of John Calvin, the founder of
the system on which this organization
is based, His birthday comes in July,
and a monument to him is under way
at Geneva, Switzerland. his birthplace.
This Pan-Presbyter organization,
which includes some % branches, rep
resenting more than 20,000,000 commu-
nicants from every part of the world,
will be the greatest gathering of the
kind held in New York for many
years. This is the fourth time the al
lance has met in America, and 1t will
be the ninth quadrennial conference.

state, not very far from Elmira. N. Y.
His father was business man, and
his uncleD were the local bankers
Young Dawson was graduated from
the Troy high school at the age of Is
years, and when he was 16 he was
teaching school, having in his class
some boys older than himself.
He kept at this work for term or
two, and then entered his uncle's bank
as a clerk. There he got fairly
good knowledge of the banking bust
ness and widened his acquaintance so
that in a year or so he got an offer of
mock National bank of Bridgeport,
Conn.
He gave perfect satisfaction there,
but he himself was not satisfied, for
he wanted to get into the larger game
and become New York banking man.
So he sought and obtained a position
in the Aston Place bank in this city
He was only 20 years old. but he soon
became receiving etller.
The Astor Place bank became
branch of the Corn Exchange bank
and Dawson went to the Liberty
National and in six years worked up
from one position to another until he
became president of that institution.
He resigned to become vice-president
of the First National. and he has held
that important position for six years,
taking ever a more and more active
and prominent part in general banking
affairs and having his advice more and
more sought by the big men of the
financial world.
During the business depression and
financial disturbances last year Mr.
Davidson was member of the special
clearing house committee which made
searching investigation into the af;
fairs of many financial institutions,
and he took part in all the important
meetings of the big men of Wall
street. notably those called by j. Pier
pont Morgan.
Mr.; Dawson is also what President
Roosevelt would call an outdoor man,
He is fond of all athletic sports, is a
good shot, good rider. good billiard
player. What he does he does with all
his heart. and he displays the same
energy in his amusements as in his
business.
He is younger looking than he is. al
though his smooth-shaven face has a
serious cast. His rather determined
mouth still shows the humor his more
intimate friends know him to possess
in large measure.
And j. Pierpont Morgan, as keen a
Judge of men as may be, having
watched Mr.. Davison's career and
studied his character and methods
closely for years, has chosen him for
partner in his big banking house To
Wall street men that is the highest
Endorsement which could be given, for
they know that II wcIid not be OBJ
tanned save by the display of ability
vbich but few men possess.

THE cHRom1rE INDUSTRY.
Report BY United States Geological
Survey.

The production 81 chromite, Or chro-
mic iron ore, is an industry OF minor
Importance in the United States, owing
to the small extent Of the deposits Ac-
cordipg to 4 repou by y. G Harder,
just issued By the United States CeoIo-
gical Survey as an advance chapter from
Mineral resources 81 the United States,
calendar year 1905" the maximum
output was reached on 1904, when the
production was 1880 long tons. In 1908
but 500 tons, worth $3.50, was pro-
duced, mostly IN California. The i'm
ports OF chronic ore ia the same year
were 27,S76 tons, mainly from New
Caledonia, Greece, and Canada.
Commercially important deposits Of
chromite have been found in Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, North Carolina, Wyo-
ming, and California, but almost the en-
tire production has come from Callfor-
nit. where the largest deposits occur in
shasta and San Lus Obspo counties.
The Shasta county deposits are the only
ones at present operated, the principal
occurrences being on shotgun Greek, 4
mile from the Southern Pacific railroad,
IN the western part Of the county The
ore occurs in lenticular beds and carries
about A per cent Of chronic oxide In
1905 an important deposit Of ehromite
was opened in Converse county, Wyo-
ming, about is miles southwest Of

efaqe OF Is per cent chronic oxide.
Uses Of Chromium.
Chromite Is of value as a source Of
being the only mineral Of
commercial Importance In which that
element is found. The uses Of chro-
MUM are metallurigical, in the manu-
facture Of alloys and furnace Innings,
and chemical as a constituent in color
ing materials, mordants, oxidizing ag-
ents, and tannages. Chromium gives
to steel marked decree Of hardness,
and if added ia the proper proportion,
does not produce brittleness. Chrom
INN steel alone or alleged with lungs
ten or molybdenum is used in the man
ufaetnre Of high-speed tools, and alloy
ed with nickel or manganese in files,
bali bearings, armor plates, and armor-
piercing proieetiles.
Chromite brick for furnace Innings are
made Of crude chromite and coal tar or
other materials and are superior to mag
nestle brick in several particulars,
though about twice as expensive. All
81 the domestic production in 1908 was
used for this purpose.

Of the use Of chromium, sketch of the
industry, and accounts Of the
deposits in the states where they have
