ed their business operations until they virtually controlled the nation's copper industry. Most of his millions made in the gigantic American Smelting and Refinang Company. Forming the firm of M. Guggenheim's Sons, the seven brothers’ first venture in the smelting and refining of copper was with a small smelter at Pueblo', Colo. In the early days of the firm, Daniel, under the guidance of his father, Meyer Guggenheim, faced all the hardships incidental to prospecting and development of mining properties hardships not undergone from grim necessity, but from a burning desire for achievement. All Worked Together The Guggenheim brothers were j noted for the way they worked to- I gether as a unit under the hard and j fast principle of majority rule. Daniel Guggenheim was presi- j dent or chairman of the board of directors of the American Smelting and Refining Company, one of the world's largest producers of metals, lor twenty years. His enterprise included not only copper, but tin, nitrates and even diamonds, extending from Alaska to Mexico, from South America to Asia and the Belgian Congo. In recent years Guggenheim devoted more than $5,000,000 to the promition of commercial aviation with the object of increasing safety. Formed Air Foundation In January, 1928, he formed the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, with $2,500,000. Among the important contributions of the fund were establishment of a $150,000 competition for a “foolproof" airplane and awards of large sums of money to provide colleges with facilities for carrying on aviation development along educational lines. In the fall of 1926, the fund financed the country-wide tour of the Byrd north pole plane to focus attention on development of aircraft and need for municipal airports. The fund also financed Colo el Charles A. Lindbergh's 22.35 J-mile tour of the country after the flight to Paris. Guggenheim was born in Philadelphia July 9, 1856, the second of seven sons of Meyer, who as a boy emigrated to the United States from Switzerland. Besides the widow, Guggenheim is survived by two sons, Lieutenant Colonel M. Robert Guggenheim, United States army, and Harry F. Guggenheim, ambassador to Cuba, and one daughter, Mrs. Roger W. Straus. OPERATIC*! OF MEXICAN ..AND PLAN IS PRAISED peasants Adapting Selves to Independence, Says Report.
