since continued. His Michigan business experiences comprised those of a banker's clerk, manager in a mercantile estab- lishment, and as a manufacturer of lum- ber and salt, with occasional newspaper work.

He then went to London, and became connected with numerous large mining enterprises; soon after he returned to America representing several big English syndicates, and trav- eled extensively through the West and Mexico in connection with his business; he is a professor of mining at Sheffield scientific school of Yale University, where he delivers several lectures each year, and also finds time to lecture at Colum- bia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and other large universities; also before some of the large scientific societies of this country; in 1891 he was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science; he is acknowledged to be the leading mining engineer of the world; in March, 1893, he became con- nected with the Guggenheim Exploration Company as general manager and con- sulting engineer, taking the entire super- vision of the vast interests of that com- pany, although he still retained his con- nection with several of the largest min- ing companies in this country. In 1881 was married to Natalie, daughter of Judge J. W. M. Harris, of Mississippi, and has four sons-Harris, John Hays, Jr., Rich- ard Pindle and Nathaniel; while increas- ing his interests in America he continues to have offices in London, at 43 Thread- needle Street; is a member of the Uni- versity Clubs of New York, Denver, Salt Lake and San Francisco; the Century Club of New York, the Denver Club at Denver, the El Paso Club at Salt Lake, and several societies; is also a Mason.
