The correspondent after a thorough investigation made a remarkaole story, show ing how Charles H. Sanford, a Yankeo drum mer for the sale of pills and prepara tions, first secured membership in the Am 1an firm of S.B. Hale & Co. in Buenos Ayres, and aiter making $,000,000 by single financial coup went aud won the confidence of Lord Revelstoke, head of the Baring fi returning to Ar- gentine he luvested several millions of Bar- wola in dountful enterp Twenty-five years ago Sanford was on the coust of South Americaand travele1 as atlrum mer for a New York firm dealing in drugs and chemicals. This firm failed and he turned his attention to the firm of S, B. Hale & Co., whose members about to retire. He used the maternal love of Mrs. Pearson, daughter of Samuel Hulo and the wife of John R. Pearson, as a lever to further his in- terests. He argued that tho glories of the old house of Hale & Co., might be revived and that in their operations there was a bril Jiant futuve for Mrs. Pearson’s sons. The amvitious hopes the house imbued in the 1ydy’s mind found co-operation 1 the minds GP the other feminino members of the family, and although Mr. Peavson remoustrated, tho house of Samucl B, Hale & Co. was continued with Lanman & Kemp's quondam pill drum nford, as one of the partners. Sanford obtained full control and engaged m toolhardy enterprises which would havi ended in ruin, but for the private fortunes of Hale & Pearson. Then came the stroke of the Yankee's life, thus described: After the rovolution the provincial government found it necessary to consolidato the debt. In org der to accomplish this purpose the outst ing loans had to be taken up, including the popular loan held by Hale & Co. The real ability which Sanford possessed became ap- parent. Through no anticipation of his own the loan had failed and the personal re- sources of the Pearson family alone saved “bthe house, Sanford counted ‘on an immedi ate sale of the bouds and the failure of the public to buy was a crushing blow 1o his pride. Sanford intrigued with the govern- ment in behalf of the *'popular loan,” wnd it is current here that he “subsidized certain ofticials whose favor was useful to the realizing of his hopes. Gola ana paper kere now at par, The loun was taken up by. s government in paper and tho safes of Hale & Co. were cleared of certificates which cost the firm many an_anxious mo- ment andslecpless night. The Kuropean loans were paid in gold and the profit which cusued, solely by reason of good luck aud the pa of gold and paper, turued in a profit of apward of $1,000,000. Shortly ‘after Sanford' went to England, where ho besioged Lord Itevelstoko, head of the fivm of Baving Brothers. Long varied and panoramic was the tale the man poured into Revelstoke's —ears. Sunford talked to Revelstoke about the extraordinary resources of Argentine and the unboundeu prospects of the country. Soon the head 1 was heard 1o say” that Mr. Sanford was the cleverest man ho had ever wet, When Sanford departed from Loudon, carry fng with bim the confidence and admiration of Lord Revelstoke, aud with the millions of the Baring bank bohind him to spend and invest, a umverse of chances was rovealed to his triumphant vision, Tho correspondent then relates iu detail thestovy of the investment of Buriug gold by Sanford. irst ho was obliged to subsidizo government oflicials to obtain the great waterworks contract, and part of the stor tola in theso words: ' *The ostimated cost of the works on which interest was to be allowed was &6,000,000 in gold.
