His‘ colleagues realized that this hearty, lovable iminer. without family inﬂu- ence or inherited riches, had won his iway to a place -in the greatest deliberative body in the world. and, starting with pick and shovel, had become a leading ilgure in the min- lng industry oi the nation.

llPor Senator Nicholson's success in mining was not accidental. Un- like mining men oi another gener- ation. his success was not due to a lucky strike. but to the intense study and application. Obher min- ing men have said that Senator Nicholson. atter days’ examination. could make an almost exact esti- mate oi the value oi any mining property; and in the Smithsonian institution. among the mining ex- hibits, is a sample oi “Nicholson- ite," a new metal discovered by and named ior the man who ﬁrst studied the business with a pick and shovel.

Success Won.

As with mining. so it was -witli politics. No ready success came to him; but ﬁnally the people oi the state cuime to the beliei that they ivlshed as their representative one who thought and lived as they did.

On Senator Nicholson's ﬁrst re- turn irom Washington his home and his oﬁice were besieged with intends, some oi whom were look- ing ior federal appointments. Sup- posedly. every minute oi his lbrlci stay was taken; but llle senator had learned that an aged China- iman. ilil attendant ut the Press clulr-aud. to the disgust oi politi- cians, not even a vote-needed his help in getting a relative into this country, and to hi-m the senator went. dim ‘Wong oi the Press club was the ﬁrst person on whom the senator called, and the help came promptly.

Politics Made to Wait.

Senator Nicholson turned and recognized an old lrl-sh woman at whose home he had boarded during his ﬁrst days in Leadvl-lle. iorty years beiore. lie insisted thatshe come into headquarters with him. and ior hali an hour politics must wait while they want over old times. ln Washington. as senator-and no one who has not. awed in Wash- ington quite realizes the halo oi respect which the people oi ‘the national capital cast around a Unit- ed ‘States senator~hls ways were the isame. Senator ‘Nicholson kept th-ree rooms in his Washington hotel -- his bedroom. a sitting room and a bedroom devoted to the use oi any Colorado friend who should happen to drop in on h-im. That second bedroom nras occupied almost con- stirixnvhlyz- ﬁlth! the result that the so , "re more moms ior the ovsmw.

the nigh gold strikes in Colorado drifted to the prairie iarm in Neb- raska where he ‘was milking cows and doing iarm chores, and ﬁred the heart o! the young man with desire to participate in the wrest- lng oi wealth irom che mountains. Leadvllla was than at its height as a boom mining town. it was to this town oi toll and excitement that Nicholson went. his worn shoes almost gone. without an ov- ercoat, and with but a twenty-live- ccdt piece in -his vpooket. .Hls ‘ﬁrst Job was as a section hand, and this task carried lsim until the next spring when he got work as a common laborer in the Colonel ‘Sellers mine. Except ior-a short interval when he worked in the coal mines at Trinidad, Colo.. Nicholson kept at the “hard rock" milling at Leadville. and soon be- came known as a sklliui and reli- able ioreman.
