RISE OF FRITZ A. HElNZE
WAS MOST. SPECTACULAR.
From Mining Engineer to inner Circles
of High Finance.

OF the lives Of American masters OF
millions the comparatively short one
of Fritz Augustus Heinze, w no died in
Saratoga Springs. n. T., is the most
picturesque In the swiftness Of his rise
from a mining engineer at So day in
the west to u millionaire mine owner
at twenty-eight and in. bis thirties an
invader of the inner circles OF high
finance in the east.
His father, q German importer, lived
in Pierrep0nt street, Brooklyn, where
Fritz was born in December, 1869
When very young he was sent to
schools in Germany. Fritz returned
when he was fifteen.
From the Brooklyn polytechnic he
went TO Columbia university. from
which he graduated in 1889 as an en-
gineer. He went 10 Butte, Mont, and
a job with the Boston and Montana
company at S. day.
He came east TO receive a legacy OF
$4,000 left by his grandmother. He
tried to induce his brothers, Otto and
Arthur, lawyers, to go west with him.
Arthur accepted the offer.
With his $4,000 Heinza leased the
Estrella claim in Butte from James A
Murray and halt a small smelter With
1920, 0e0 profit taken from the Estrella
mine he got control OF the Rarus mine
and later or the Giensarry mine. Then
be built big snelter. He invaded Brit
| ish Columbia and built smelter and
IA narrow gauge railroad. He became
! so important that the Canadian Pacific
| railroad paid him, then twenty eight
| years Old, 81 800 900 for his railroad.
/ He established his brothers in the
! Stock Exchange firm or Otto G.
| Heinze & Co, bought control OF the
Mercantile National bank from Edwin
Gould and became its president. In
| October 1907, when all the bankers
were outstanding their resources
against an impending storm Hein2e
| tried to corner United Copper stock
The result was the wreck Of his broth
ers' firm. and Heinze was forced 10y
