the character of 1t and its prospects
rs was studying the mines as he had
studied books.
apparently he did not make great
material progress in the worlds affairs.
out ne was storing UP his mind with
invaluable Information. Mine owners
ana mine mana gers got to know him
as man OF wide knowledge and ac-
curate Information. Now and then he
was employed to go and examine
properties and report upon them.
once he was engaged to assay and
study the ores of a mountain in Bling
nam canyon, some twenty eight miles
from Salt Lake City. There was a lot
OF ore in the mountain--countless mil
Mons OF pounds OF 1t. But 1t was Of so
low grade and so refractory that IL
was doubtful IL 1T ever would be Of
utility Some tunnels had been sunk
In the mountain and showed any
quantity OF ore, but the owners of the
property. Captain J. r Delamar and
colonel e. A Wall, although posses
mine. were unable to develop or dis
rose of 1t. For eleven years the mine
had been on the market
lacking went over the property with
all the thoroughness that a trained and
conscientious man could employ Then
ne maze report to Delamar and Wall
That regardless of the low grade of
the ore' the property could be worked
We profit. and with handsome
proHt al that. He set forth his IDEAS
In tull and laid them before them.
Delamar and Wall digested that re-
port and then turned 1t over to various
experts for their examination and CON
SHERATON. The experts turned the re-
port down. Delamar and Wall had
more faith In the experts than in Jack
ing and dropped him and his report.
lacking went back to Colorado. The
report of the experts and the rebuff of
Delamar and Wall had no more effect
upon him than the acts of suppression
and oppression of the farmer in Mis-
souri,
AT Canyon City. Col, were two men
VINO had a smelter which Jackling had
hand in building. They had the be-
net that there was not a better posted
mining engineer in all the world than
that Missouri farm boy They were
young enough 10 have retained all the
Illusions and enthusia SINS of youth. and
when lacking told them that. rtcn as
colorado was in ore. there were richer
mines over on the other side of the
ROCKIES, they believed him. When he
told them that he could treat the low
grade ores OF some of those mountains
SO that they would return more wealth
than the richest gold camps in Colo
rado. they believed him He told them
or his examination of that mine in
Bingham Canyon, and then. to Illus.
>trate how correct were his ideas. he
sent for some of that ore, treated 81
In Canyon City and showed them the
result.
The young men who had that Can
yon City smelter were Mcneil and
Penrose; and the Penrose is a brother
of United states Senator Boies Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania.
Colonel Wall and Captain Delamar
are two of the veterans of the West
Their operations have been large, their
experience great. Large as were their
resources and big as was their ex-
Bingham Canyon was a dead weight
on their hands because they could not
operate IL al a profit. Not only that,
nut the two men were not on good
terms. They had many disagreements
and could not work In harmony. All
that was necessary to arouse the an
tagonism OF one was to discover that
the other favored "a thing. There was
no opportunity to get them to agree
on any. proposition that lacking
would suggest. So he went to one of
his friends, man named Cohen. and
put this proposition before him:
Colonel Wall owns three quarters
of that Bingham Canyon mine Cap
tam Delamar owns one-quarter Go
to Delamar and get an option on his
quarter If YOU can. II YOU succeed.
then go to Colonel Wall and get an
option on his three quarters. Then. If
you succeed in that. you and I and
Mcneil and Penrose will have to try
and get a company together-and I
VIII make YOU richer than YOU ever
dreamed of beingr'
Cohen went to Delamar and got the
option on his holdings. Then he saw
wall and got an option on his Next.
those two young men, Penrose and Nc
NELL acting simply on the faith they
had IN that Missouri metallurzist. spent
100000 on an experimental mill to
handle the ores of that low grade
mine.
