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.
