WORLD’S HISTORY
SALARY.
John Hays Hammond, the mining
Mjglnoer of New York receives a sal
ary aggregating $800,000 a year.
man ever received for Ills personal
services. Men make millions on in
vestments or by manipulations or
speculation, but Hammond is the on
ly man In the world who ts puid so
nearly a million a year for profes
sional advice. Hammond is the great
est soldier of fortune of modern
times, and was the model from which
Richard Harding Davis drew his he
ro in ‘ Soldiers of Fortune.” He was
born in San Francisco 25 years ago
and was graduated from the Sheffield
scientific school of Yale. During
his boyhood In California he heard
and dreamed of nothing but gold,
for the western coast was gold mad
during this period.
In his quest for the precious met
al Hammond has traveled all over
the world, from Siberia to South
Africa He followed the course of
prosecuting in Australia during the
boom days, and he was in the Trans
vaal at the time of the Jamestown
raid. With Phillips, Frank Rhodes
and George Farrar, lie was captured
_
by lue Hoers and sentenced to
death, to the great excitement of the
whole civilized world. Oom Paul
Kruger, under threuts from Joseph
Chamberlain, released the four men
upon payment of an enormous line
and sentence of punishment.
Hammond came to New York and
opened an office as consulting engi
neer. He may be found "liow in a
little room In the Empire building,
and so great is his Tconwledge of
gold-bearing ore from all the great
gold fields of the world that ho is
able to pass unerring judgment upon
mines without vTstttTig them. His
word is law to investors. If Ham
mond says “No” Investors will not
spend millions for purchase or de
velopment or gold mines. if Ham
mond says “No” lTTVesttors will not
spend a cent, no matter how tempt
ing the offers may be. He has a
corps of assistants who visit miners
under question and make their re
ports to him.—Chicago Tribune.
