True Success Story

By I. H. M.scArt.hnr

Rose Valley. like so many other rural districts of Prince Edward Island. produced some reinerk- eble men. especially in the busi- ness and industrial world. The late Murdock Ross and the late

Samuel MacDonald were well- known figures in the "business life of Charlottetown up until

recent years. Both were born in Rose Valley.

In today's story. I am going to write about another Rose Valley man. Hector MacDonald, a poor farm youth who, like Samuel MacDonald and Murdock Ross, climbed the ladder of success with only a miscellaneous educa- tion and with no financial beck- ing.

When news of the Colorado gold rush reached this Island. a considerable number of young lads immediately set out to seek their fortunes in the gold fields of the American West. Shy. quiet Hector MacDonald was among the early treasure-seekers.

C O I C

When this seventeen-year-old youth reached the town of Lead-

ville. he found it a flouriehlng but vci-y wicked place. Every- where there was great activity

and, like all new gold camps in those days, vice aboundcd on all sides, in the streets. the dance halls. gambling joints, saloons and the Red Light district. Leadville was as prosperous as it was bad. Already fortunes had been glean- e'd from the Littlei Johnny and other adjoining mines.

Those who knew Lcadville well said there was fabulous wealth helow her bosom. Their reckon- ing proved right for the new mines turned out to be eldorados of the West in which more than one Islander cast his net not in vain. Donald Nicholson amassed I tidy fortune and George Cham- pion became a millionaire. Both men had started in with pick and shovel and Nicholson rose from a humble farm lad to be- come Colorado's senator before

the wicked little place became a ghost town. y Inspired by the achievements

of these, his fellow Islanders. MacDonald gave up the pick and shovel to become a contractor or a "lesser" as some called it. but be had not Uhe touch of n Midas-- not while he stayed in Leadvillc. His lucky day came years later and at a time when he'd given up mining to pursue an entirely different path.

Even though he had not yet found the rainbows end and the pot of gold, his experience in mining had gained for him a Iknnwlcrlee of the industry that ivory few men possessed.

Time passed on fleeting wings. Hit the age of 29. Hector married INIZHQEITIJY. Vickcrsnn of North :Rivcr. Margaret had gone to the: West with her parents. brothers and sisters at the time of the gold rush. The young couple met

in Lezidville where they were married in i885 By this time. the town that

had mushronmed up almost over- night began tn lose its import- ance as a mining centre and its residents started an exodus. some to their former homes and some to other mining towns such as Cripple Creek. iCrede and across the state line into Nevada.

MacDonald with his wife and four small daughters headed for Credc but conditions were far from what they had been at the Little Johnny. Wages were low and only an experienced miner like MacDonald could hope to get employment. The set-up was not to his liking and two years later he went to the Pacific Coast where he landed a Job with the Frozen Lumber Co.. in New Westminster. B. C.

Three bucks a day was what he earned for nine hours hard labor in the lumber yards. with a tall Hindu boss looking down his neck. It was a far cry from the days in Leadville when. as e contractor. he had carried exact- ly ten times as much for an eight hour day's work.

Hector did not care for the lumber business. nor did he fancy the Hindu and Chinese bosses who held their present jobs he-

cause they had been brought up with the lumber end hed e thor- ough knowledge of the various kinds of wood. The seine yeer Hector took the job at the Frozen Mills. he wee called to the Prem- ier Gold Mining Co. (Premier, B. C.) end wu given the position of heed-foreman over the com- peny's entire crew of miners.

Several yeers teter. he rose to the position of mine superinten- dent at e salary of 3800 per month. At long lest the once poor farm boy had found his level. The Premier proved to be a very rich gold mine end Super- intendent MecDonnld invested most of his earnings in the com- peny's stock which brought him it tidy fortune.

l-Ie contracted pneumonia while still on the job and, when his doctors despeired of his lite he wee permitted to return to his home in Vancouver where he passed ewey in 1934.

Today his widow and three of his daughters live in Vancouver, while his youngest daughter. Mary, resides in California.

Like all other self-made men, Hector Mecboneld eerly learned to give the best that was in him and. by so doing. he was able to master his handicap and go to the top while more talented men remained in the rut.
