had for the first year o. two. Many
times it appeared as If he would have
to give up. His labor had to be paid
and he had little or no money. When
he made shipment of tin there were
long, dreary months before he re-
ceived payment, and even then he was
subjected to many endorsements
and disappointments. 1t was jour-
ney of 500 miles over the mountains
from the mine to Antofagasta, where
the tin could be shipped to Europe.
Vessels were irregular and freight
rates were unstable. Sometimes the
tin was held month or two awaiting
a steamboat. All this time Patino was
in agony. Sometimes the consignee
sold to advantage. Sometimes he did
not. Patino had to depend upon the
honesty Of the man he shipped his
metal to. When the returns were good
he was able to resume work on q
larger scale. When they were poor,
he was threatened with bankruptcy.
But, good or bad, he kept his store
running. That brought In little rev.
enue, just enough to aid in many a
tight pinch.
In his third year Patino began to
see daylight. He had no further need
of shutting down periodically and he
was able to make regular shipments
across the mountains. Tin was bring
ing better price and he was making
money, but he kept his own counsel.
Not only that. but he was emboldened
to branch out. The tin zone of Bo-
livia is divided into four districts-La
Paz in the north, Oruro in the Gen.
ter, Choroloque in the south, and Po-
tosi in the east. The country had
not yet recovered from the silver de-
preston, and mining claims, especially
tin properties, were at bargain prices.
Senior Patino bought judiciously and
well, but all the time he kept increas-
ing the output and extending the OPP
erations in and about La Salvador.
Business Increased Greatly.
Hamburg is the great depot for the
distribution Of tin. Senior Patino
opened an Office there in No. 3 Leo
poldshof, and thereafter his European
agent looked after the sale Of his
metal. This was more satisfactory and
more profitable than the former ar
rangement. Then he negotiated with
steamship companies and managed,
by guaranteeing certain amount Of
cargo, to obtain regular sailing from
Antofagasta. The uses Of tin were
increasing steadily and Patino found
a ready market at a good price for
all he could produce, 80, gradually, he
opened up new mines.
One day Bolivia awakened to the
fact that Senior Patino was doing a
big business. A little later it decided
he was doing an enormous business.

Since then II has been getting sur
prise upon surprise until now 1t won1
ders II there is any man In the world
who Is doing more business or making
more money than Simon Patino. When
money began to flow Patino's way 1t
came In a stream. After o while the
stream got to be a food. This food
has been increasing in volume year
after year, until now the little store
keeper of the Andes Is the richest
man in South America. There is no
telling how much money he has. A
conservative estimate is $80,000,000
The growth of the tin production Of
his mines has been one of the most
wonderful In the world. From insig-
nificance he has lifted Bolivia to po-
sition where now 1t is credited with
one-fourth Of the total tin output OF
the globe. Gold and silver no longer
figure prominently in comparison with
it in Bolivian industries The value
Of the tin exported Is five times that
of all other metals combined. Pa
tino has competition In Bolivia, for
he does not own all the tin-bearing
properties, but his mines are by far
the richest. The best and most mod
ern Of machinery has been installed
by him, and his plants are as COM
plete and well equipped as money and
science can make them.
II is not in mining alone that he
has shown his capacity. He no long
er depends upon others to carry his
metal to market He has his own line
of steamships plying between Anto-
fagasta and Hamburg, and by rea-
son of his immense production he
controls to a large degree the price
Of tin throughout the world.
Not Spoiled by His Riches.
Money has not spoiled Don Simon.

added to his enterprise, his energy

most as great love for America. He

wants none. He prefers to occupy the
position OF being the great and good
friend of his country. When Bolivia

he lends 1t without interest. He does
not want any more money, but still
his wealth increases. His home is in
Oruro, which city he has made the
tia metropolis and the Pittsburgh of
Bolivia. Occasionally he travels, and
when he is on his journeys he startles
the natives wherever he goes.
Last spring he paid a visit to New
York. He left his party aboard ship
while he came ashore to look for
quarters. He went to the Hotel Knick-
erbocker and asked to see some rooms.
They showed suite to him. He liked
1t, and asked to see some more He
liked the other apartments that were
shown to him. Then he asked to see
some more. The more rooms he saw,
the more he was pleased. He spent
an hour looking at rooms. Then he
announced that he would take three
floors.
The hotel man could not believe he
heard Alright. He asked II Senior Pa
tino really meant all the rooms on
three floors. Senior Patino said yes,
he thought that would do. The hotel
people agreed, tentatively, to let him
have what he asked for, but they pro-
ceeded Immediately to make some in
quiries about the visitor. What they
heard satisfied them.
A little later Senior Patino moved in.
He had his wife, his children, his
relatives and various servants. His
relatives included his sisters, his
brother, his. cousins and his aunts.
There were 40 in the party. exclusive

His Doings In United States.

ing he took flock of automobiles,
for he usually was accompanied by
bunch Of his relatives. Business
to him Is a family affair; he wants
his business friends to know his fam
lily and his relatives. All his bust
ness was not in New York He had
to go to Boston, and he had to go to
Washington. There are some rich men
who, when they go travelling, hire a
special car. Not Senior Patino. When
he went to Boston he went in his own

month. He paid for 1t all that time.
One Of his missions to New York
was to improve relations between the
United States and South. America. In
cidental to his visit he became vice
president Of the Pan-American asso-
citation. He expects the opening Of
the Panama canal will be Of great ben
eft to his country, and he wants to
do everything within his power to
bring all South America into closer
touch with the United States. To this
cause he is lending his influence, his
support and his money.
He was delighted with New York.
He and his relatives went to many
of the beautiful homes Of Fifth ave-
nue. and Riverside drive. There was
one charming residence that caught

Forgot the Stalrways.
For Don Simon to express a wish
Is to have it satisfied. Orders were
issued at once through one of his
subordinates for the building of such
structure, to be ready when he re-
turned to Oruro. The dwelling was
four stories high. The gentleman who
had the thing In charge did the best
he could, but he made some odd blum
ders. He had the house built, four
stories high, but when 1t was COM
pleted there was one curious omission.
No provision had been made for stair
ways. You could not get from floor
to floor except by climbing a ladder
outside. To remedy this defect be-
fore Don Simon returned, ready made
stairs were ordered from the United
States and holes were cut in the floors
to accommodate them.
Unfortunately, the stairways were
longer by about three feet than were
necessary, and when they were put
into place steps had to built down
from the top of them to the level of
the floor. When Don Simon got back
to Bolivia he had thu delight Of pos
