wants none. He prefers to occupy the
position of being the great and good
friend of his country. When Bolivia
needs money for any public enterprise,
he lends it 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
tin 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 a suite to him. He liked
it, 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 if 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
of servants. Nearly every member
of the party had a servant, and some
of them had two.
His Doings in United States.
Don Simon had business to trans
act in New York. When he went call
ing he took a flock of automobiles,
for he usually was accompanied by
a bunch of his relatives. Business
TO MIN is a family affair; he wants
his business friends to know his fam

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
special train. When he went to Wash
ington, he went in a special train.
Expense did, not signify. How could
it with a man whose income is far
in excess of $4,000 a day? He ex-

made arrangements with railroad to
have a special train made up ready

had for the first year or two. Many
times it appeared as if he would have
tegive up. His labor had to be paid
and he had little or no money. When
he made a shipment of tin there we're
long, dreary months before he re-
celved payment, and even then he was
subjected to many embarrassments
and appointments. 1t was a 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
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 a
larger scale. When they were poor,
he was threatened with bankruptcy.
But, good or bad, he kept his store
running. That brought in a 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 b.
livia is divided into four distBicts-La
Paz in the north, Oruro in the cen
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 op-
erations in and about La Salvador.
Business Increased Greatly.

distribution of tin. Senior Patino

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 a certain amount of
cargo, to obtain regular sailing from
Antofagasta. The uses of tin we're
increasing steadily and Patino found
a ready market at a good price for
all he could produce, so, 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

strawberries ripen until December and
begin rlpening again in January.
AS the sun moves around to the
west the colors change. The valleys
become lavender and later purple
Then lights spring up marking the
cities and towns and outlining the
blocks which form the city of Los
Angeles. Below the searchlights of
the electric trolley cars and the
searchlights of the steam engines pull
ing their trains of passengers fiirt like
Will-o -the-wisps. Then the big search
lights from the ships entering in the

You can go part way up Mount
Lowe by trolley. You also can walk
or ride to the top where you can see
the world.
Some of the observatories on the
tops of the mountains are isolated
from the rest of the world. That is
true of Mount Hamilton. While visi-
tors come up frequently from the low
er cities, the inhabitants have to de-
pend on themselves for their social
life. The professors in charge of the
observatory live there with their fam
lilies, and as it takes day and half
the night to walk to San Jose and
back, the astronomers do not often
indulge in that form of exercise They
have their own cows and some of
them have gardens
They have their own societies. The
women of the settlement have their
own clubs and the men and women
together have their own golf links.
They do not need to build any hazards
for the golf links, because when God
fashioned the mountain he put the
hazards there.

Since then it has been getting sur
prise upon surprise until now it won
ders if 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 it
came in a stream. After a while the
stream got to be a food This flood
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 it 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
tho 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.
1t 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 large degree the price
of tin throughout the world.
Not Spoiled by His Riches.
Money has not spoiled Don Simon.
Instead it has broadened him and
added to his enterprise, his energy
and his democracy. He is only about
forty-five years Of age. He has a
great love for his native land, and al
most as great love for America He
is as kindly and approachable as he
was Is years ago, when all he had in
the world was within the four walls
of the little store up near frowning

ct.dse he is too busy with his work.
The astronomer from his vantage
ground can see for a hundred miles
all about him. He can look out from
Mount Lowe across the city of Los
Angeles. His glass is so powerful
that he can bring the moon to within
so miles of his nose and study it de-
tail by detail. With a smaller glass
he can look out on the plain below
and watch the millionaires building
houses, the middle rich running their
automobiles and the great ships COM
ing in across the curve of the earth
to bring the products of the world
to the doors of California.
All around him the peaks spread
out. On a clear evening they stand
against the sunset sky their shad-'
ows racing across the intervening val
leys. Then sometimes the fogs arise
and hide the lowlands. The astrono-
{ mer then lives like sailor on a great
white sea. Here and there peaks and
hilltops rise through the fogs like
islands in great flowing gulf stream.
Land of Nut Pines.
The visitors to Mount Lowe can ex-
perience the same thrills the astrono-
mer feels, In fact, he goes further
than the astronomer, for he sees them
for the first time AS he starts I'D
the hilltop, going higher and higher,
he circles around canyon or precipice,
ever going higher and higher toward
the top. Up the mountain side he
goes. Some parts of the mountain
are barren of trees and again the visi.
tor reaches the land of the nut pines
where the big pine cones on the pine
nut trees shed their food for The SOUR
rels and birds and visitors who come
that way.
Although the foot of Mount Lowe is
in perpetual summer the summit is in
@ land where snow falls in winter and
where the astronomers play SNOWFALL
with each other.

For Don Simon to express a wish
is to have it satisfied. Orders vera
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 it 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 ladder
outside. To remedy this defect be-
fore Don Simon returned, ready made
stairs were ordered from the United
States and holes we're 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 the delight Of pos
sessing the finest house In Oruro, and
also the Queerest one In South Amer3.

They are eucalyptus. With their pc

the splendor of vast estate; beyond
across the white sands of the San Ga

the test of time and has grown into
a city. There, where the haze of the
valley melts into the dull gray of the
foothills, are the two towns of Glen

In the middle distance closer to the
rugged base of the mountains, lies

But it is not that they are trying
to get nearer the heavens that i'm
pels them to build on the mountain
tops. The few miles of distance from
the foot to the top of the highest
peaks does not make any material
difference when we are reckoning in
millions of miles. Five miles is in
finitesimally small when we reckon
in terms of millions of miles.
The astronomers seek the heights
because there the air is clear and they
ha less to cloud their lenses. Such
a place is the location of the obser-
vatory on Mount Lowe. Placed just
below the summit where it can be
protected from the blasts of wind the
astronomers live the lie of recluses
while they study the heavens and
learn all they can about bodies in the
infinite regions beyond, which shine
