White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1910-10-09

Verify it may be said of him that
he has left no kind of mining un-
touched, and touched nothing that
he did not adorn. The same may be
said of him marketwise. In his
ambidexterity he is just as clever at
one end as he is at the other.
Charles Hayden, of Boston, is a
colonel of Massachusetts militia and a
captain of All-Over industry. His
~colonelcy is an ornamental title, but
his catpainey is one of service. h
medals he wears are but the outward
and visible evidences of the more re-
nowned victories he has won in these
piping times of industry and peace.
Colonel Hayden has not sought the
spotlight. No black vomit of ink or
effuvia of wood pulp mark the trail
of triumphs of this young magnate of
blood and copper. He has delivered
goods without rushing into print.
He is without an itch for either
scribbling OF being interviewed.
But Charles Hayden is no parasite.

logy, be an exact science, and If n

badly predominant over all other
characteristics of the man. He Is as
constructive as a bee or an ant. His
career, superficial as it might APP
pear to the superficial, Is constructive,
cumulative and conservative.
Colonel Hayden began to be a
financial topnotcher at about the ten
der age when Colonel Bryan Though
not at that time a ~colonel) first
figured as the boy orator of the ma
tion-away down in the 30s.
Outwardly Charles Hayden appears
simplex. Otherwardly he is duplex
in fact, complex. Some of his
enemies and others not enemies, OBJ
serving him in passing say that he is
vain, arrogant, d%ictatorial, despotic,
in short, a whole catalogue
of egotism. But in view of the mans
achievements, 1t is perhaps wrong to
him as in any way a petty
vainglorious a He may have his
all have. But his i'm
patience with unimportant men and
matters may be attributed to the fact
that he has but "a hours in his work
ing day and these are apt to be pretty
fully crowded with big affairs. For
hat reason mere bores, and people
who apply to him without having a
idea of what they want to
to him, are apt to get short shift.
Il is said that at such a time Colonel
Hayden can extend himself on his
and with eyes flashing and index
finger pointing aggressively at the in
make him feel very uncom-
Portable, to say the least.
Colonel Hayden is undoubtedly a
individual. Said to be ex-
undemocratic in his person
and his habits, he is as democratic as
camp in his achievements. In
