American Mining Congress

(From Mining and Scientific Press)
 Phoenix, Arizona has just been visited by a serious fire which de- stroyed a number of it's main busi- ness buildings Phoenix, however, can be expected to prove true to its name, and in the meantime facilities for entertaining the visiting mining men and their wives during the meeting of the American Mining Congress December to II inclusive, are ample and well matured. Under the capable chairmanship of MT. Will l. Clarke, an attractive Seris of b. cal excursions and receptions has heen arranged and the delegates and guests will be certain to see Arizona at its best. The program committee has been not less active. The SUD- jects announced for discussion in clude the topics of western mining conditions mining investments. safe ". federal aid to mining and mining schools. water-power development. conservation. revision of mining laws and compulsory arbitration-certainly 3 comprehensive list. Many of these topics are controversial and all of them concern matters that mining men should discuss frankly among themselves. Possibly it would have been better to abbreviate the pro- gram and center 1t upon a few det mite subjects. since one or two meas rrably well rounded out conferences accomplish more than much desultory speaking
 We understand that the conference idea IS to dominate the meeting in place of the older one of a series of set speeches We are glad to sec this, as also the persistent study by the congress of the business side of mining It is in this, as we believe, that it's largest field of usefulness exists. since its membership includes technical as well as technical men
 One topic not down upon the pro- gram is sure to come up for thought ful discussion and that is the future of the congress itself. As is well known, the organization has never been adequately financed for the work it has undertaken A report made public this year by the ways and means committee showed that membership fees have not yielded enough to meet expenses and that in fact the work of the past few years has been accomplished largely through the self f-sacrifice of the sec retary, Mir. J. F. Callbreath, Jr., to whom the congress has been chron- ically in debt. The matter is given especially significance at this time through the circumstance that MT Callbreath has had this year to abandon active work for time and retire to a sanitarium. We are glad to report that his health and strength are returning, but d great public work such as the congress has ac- complished and such as it has yet to do, ought not to rest so largely on the shoulders of one man. The sltu alton IS a grave one and should be frankly faced. Important as the work is it should be abandoned for the time unless adequate support can be assured We hope no such retreat may be necessary. and we trust that at the Phoenix meeting the members will not only have the enjoyable visit that is assured. but will also find way to meet the very pressing needs of the congress itself.

F. Augustus Heinyc

The death of MT Heinze brings to an end one of the most spectacular careers in finance that this country has known. His story is that of n man who attained the phenomenal SIC. cess within few years and then went down as rapidly in the face of busi- ness conditions and practices which he seemed never to fully understand. As the promoter of great copper interests ill Montana, Heinze carried on for years industrial, financial and political activities on a prodigious scale. He became immensely wealthy Then he came to New York, eager for the financial fray. Within ten years his fortune had been largely dissipated and for the remainder of his life he was constantly embroiled in affairs that brought him into court again and again.
 He was born in Brooklyn on Decem- Der ,, 1869. His parents were able - give him many advantages and by study and travel he fitted himself for the many roles he was to play. He was graduated from the Columbia School of Mines in 1889 and went put to Montana to seek his fortune For two years he worked in the mines of the Boston & Montana O. for g. a day. Then he and his brother, Ar thur r. Heinze, went into the smelling business, leasing mines and taking out the ore on a percentage basis. Not long after that Heinze organized the Montana Ore Purchasing Co.
 From the beginning Heinze was in- volved in litigation. It was claimed that ore bodies discovered in the Ra- rus, one of his mines, ran into the property of other concerns. Suits were brought against him by the Bos ton & Montana and the Butte & Bos- ton companies Heinzc had friends in office and in the courts and it was charged that legislation favorable to him and inimcable to his rivals was passed and upheld much according to his wishes. Anyway. he won these suits and others that steadily added to his fortune.
 An estimate of S10,000,000 as the value of the estate of r. Augustus 1leinZe was made by a person conver- sant with the late copper kings prop erty, but it is understood tha. this fig ure represents the face value of the estate. and that litigation pending against MT. lieinze at the time of his death and that other claims that will be presented will reduce the amount materially It is not believed that the net estate will amount to more than s1 .500000 which will go to the infant son. F. Augustus Heinze. Jr
 Jacob J. Schwebel. for the past few years counsel for MT. HeinZe, said that just before MT. Heinze came in 1906 from Montana he received $15,000.- GOO in settlement of his litigation with the Amalgamated Copper interests and that subsequently, he lost $1,000,000 trying to convert cotton plantations n Texas into sugar land. He said that while Mir HeinZe was heavily indebt- ed to various banks for loans, they are all covered by collateral, and that while many suits are now pending against Hr Heinze, he is plaintiff in a number of suits. He thinks the es- tate will break even.
 MT. Scheweb said that a search for a will is being conducted He exc cuted a will some years ago in which he left all his estate to his mother, who has since died.

ORANGE
NORTHEASTERN RAILWAY
Places Order For Steel And Will
Rush Construction of
Railroad.

That the Orange Northeastern
railroad, with Orange, Texas, as
southern terminus and water con-
nection to the gulf coast, is to be
built without delay is indicated by
reports to the effect that the
Shreveport-Ca lcasieu Construction
Company, which was organized
for the purpose of building the
line, has placed an order for 600
tons of steel rails. The order was
placed with the National Iron and
Steel Company of Houston. The
rails are to be laid on the track
that is being graded between
Vinton and Starks. Louisiana.
1t is understood that this work
will be done without DELAY; also
that other plans will be developed
with promptness, one being the
building of an extension of the
new road to Leesville, Louisiana.
1.-THE Orange Northeastern rail
road, according to President, Ken
nedy, is due to arrive in Leesville
ahead of all other roads projected,
and it begins to look as if it is
coming to pass as he predicts, "
states one of the reports from
Leesville, La.
The question of building an ex-
tension to Shreveport, through
Natchitoches, has been9under con-
sideration for year or more, but
so far no definite action has been
taken. Eventually, this project is
expected to be developed Jour

Tipping Off The Audience.

When Representative James B.
Aswell of Natchitoches. Louisiana,
was superintendent of schools for
his state, he made a tour of Ar
kansas for the purpose of persuad-
ing the Arkansans to submit to
heavier local taxation for the
benefit of public schools. Mr..
Aswell has never been a dub in
the art of speaking, and on this
trip he fairly burned up the
countryside with his eloquence,
inducing the rural populace to
fart with real money. One night
he was to face an audience far
back in the country, in a neigh
borhood that had never been pro-
famed by the screech of a locomo-
tive or the soft rumbling of a
spring wagon. At the appointed
hour, the farmer who was to in
troduce him stepped to the front
of che platform, hopping his brow
with bandana, and gasping for
breath. He then spoke as follows,
with all the labor necessary tc

oak: Ladies and gentlemen, yor

of the town and vicinity, and the
need of concentrated action, en-
ergy, and ambition of citizens.

the men they wished as officers,
lay aside prejudice, political differ
ences, or personal feelings, and, as

build up clean and beautiful city.
