CECIL RHODES

John Hayes Hammond, writing in
2:Herican Magazine, once said
that the late Cecil Rhodes was the
most wonderful man he knew
Hammond was in position to know,
for re was in charge of Rhodes's min
ing operations for seven years. Dur
ing that time he was answerable to
Rhodes alone, and came in direct per-
Sonai contact with him constantly.
Rhodes was essentially a doer of
big things. He organized the De Beers
company, which controls the diamond
industry Of the world. the first power
ful trust ever formed.
Rhodes was only seventeen when he
went TO Africa for his health. He first
lived at Natal with his brother who
was trying to raise cotton. A year
after he arrived diamonds were dis
covered in the Kimberly district, and
Rhc aes promptly joined the rush.
He travelled in an OK cart, and took

ton can wait, I'm too busy fighting
Marabele."
When he finally appeared before
parliament, he treated the lords like
equals, something that never had been
done before. He practically dominat-
ed the investigation. King Edward
visited the investigation, and could not
refrain from shaking hands with him.
At one time while he was being
questioned, he called for glass of
beer and a sandwich, and answered
questions between bites.
Rhodes believed in a worldwide
British empire. At twenty-five he
wrote will to perpetuate, his work to
that end. He did add to the British
empire a good big chunk of Africa.
His greatest project was his Cape to
Cairo railroad, which he lived to see
started.

with him a few digging tools, several
volumes of classics and Greek lexi-
con During his first few years in the
Kimberly district he dug diamonds
and studied. Until his health failed
in 1873, he went to England every
winter to study at Oxford.
Before he was out of his teens he
had founded fortune, and started the
combination that later became the De
Beers company.
He saw that the diamond miners
were cutting their own threats
through ruinous competition and over
production. He combined with a few
of his friends, forming a trust to
limit production and keep the prices
high. This was before the United
States had any oil trust, in fact before
there was such thing as a trust in
existence. Rhodes was really the
father. of the modern trust. ..
Keeping a Contract.
1t was said of him that he always
kept contract, no matter what it
cost him. A striking example of this
was his action one time before he be-
came wealthy. He contracted to keep
the water, out of a certain mine. The
agreement stipulated that he was to
begin pumping on a certain day. The
pump that he ordered failed to arrive.
He went in search of one that would
serve.
He found it, but the old Dutch farm
er who owned it refused to sell.
Rhodes went to him five successive
days and tried to buy it, and finally
did at an enormous price. The farmer
agreed to deliver it. but on the way
the roads were so bad the farmer re-
fused to go on saying the pull would
ruin his oxen. Rhodes promptly
bought the oxen and delivered the
pump himself. He had it pumping on
the day agreed upon.
John Hayes Hammond
1t was his indomitable perseverance
and capacity for doing big things that
brought him success, where no one
had thought Of trying-deep mining
of gold. The idea, it is said, original
ed with Hammond, his American en-
gineer. In the early '9O's Hammond,
who was then employed by Barney
Barnato, conceived the idea of digging
for gold instead of mining the out
Barnato, who was some
thing of rival Of Rhodes at that
time, would not take it up.
Hammond left Branato, and later
Rhodes sent for him and told him he
wanted him to take charge of his en-
tire mining interests and asked him to
name his salary, and not to be modest.
Hammond said 100000 and share
Of the profits. Rhodes gave it to him,

and agreed to let Hammond deal di-
rectly with him without bothering
with directors. Hammond says he
often bought a half million dollars
worth of machinery without consult
ing anybody.
A Man of Decision
The real action came at a peculiar
time. Rhodes, Hammond, Hammond's
secretary (who is now Lord Saye) and
several others were riding in the heart
of southern central Africa. Rhodes
asked Hammond whether he thought
the gold bearing rock would hold out.
Hammond said he thought it would
but that Outcropping mining would
soon run out, and explained his pur-
pose of deep mining. Outcrop prop
erty at that time was worth about
$4,000 to 100000 per acre. Property
that Hammond believed would strike
the lode at great depth could be had
in abundance at 500 per acre. Rhodes
saw the point at once, and sent Ham
mond's secretary and another man 500
miles to the nearest railroad station
with cable to the London directors to
sell all the outcrop lands.
The directors were thunderstruck,
and cabled back that it meant liqui-
dating the company, and said that
that couldn't be done without a full
explanation.
Rhodes's reply was characteristic:
"Do exactly what | instructed you to
do at once without asking questions. l
take full responsibility" This time
the directors obeyed.
An immense amount of property
was bought. and shafts sunk to
depth of several thousand feet. Mil
lions of dollars were spent before they
got a cent of return. Hammond inn
ported a staff of the best known deep
mining engineers in America, men
from the Hccla and Calumet copper
mines.
In the end the mines were the most
valuable in the world Ten million
dollars profit had rolled in two years
aftpr the project had been started.
AS Rhodes grew richer he realized
that his time was too valuable to
spend on matters of detail and left
them more to his subordinates. In
fact he hated detail
On one occasion, after the mines
had been finished and the millions
were rolling in, Hammond went to
Rhodes with Il proposition for a bonus
for his staff of American engineers.
The schedule totaled about $25O,O0O.
Rhodes approved it without even look
ing at tire amount
Hammond protested that he hadn'
looked at it. Rhodes said, "You would
MT have asked for it if you hadn't
thought it just. That is enough fol
me-"
Didn't Care for Titles
Rhodes was a profound democrat
and cared little for the majesty of ii
ties. He was once asked why ne didn'
accept title because he could have
had any in the power of the crown I'd
give him. He answered, "The only til
tie would Ike to have is an honora-
ly degree fro mOxford." This was
given him a little later.
Rhodes was Implicated in the Jane
son rein into G~rman territory in At
"ica. Parliament summoned him I'd
