John 1. Elder was born near Bclvl~
tire. N. J.. in 1802. Until he was eleven
years of age his life was that of an or-
dinary farmer's boy. After leaving
school he entered the general store of
his cousin at llopclt, N. J. At the age
of nineteen be came to Blaintown.
then known as Grave Hill. and opened
a general store which be operated for
over forty years. constantly enlarging
his business connections. His first
large speculation was the purchase or
an apparently valueless cargo of cotton
on which he realized a profit of $15;-

Mr. Blair aided the first attempts to
make iron with anthracite coalht Slo-
cum Hollow. afterwards. Scranton. Pm.
and became interested in the Scranton
C05, and Iron Company.
is company obtained a charter for
a railroad from Scranton to Great
Bend. called Legget's Railroad, and
was to connect with the Erie Railroad.
This was the real beginning of the Del-
aware. Lackawanna 6: Western Reil-
road. in all the successive stages in
the building of the road. Mr. Blair was
the master spirit. -
Before the war there was little or no
demand for iron. but Mr. lllnir‘s com-
pany. with wonderful sagscity. went
right on manufacturing it and piling it
up. Suddenly iron rail rosr- $50. $80.
and then 8100 a ton. Mr._Blnlr in re-
ferring to it said: ‘
"There is no gold mine in the world
that could have yielded money faster
than our iron works did then."
in 1859 Mr. Blair was in Iowa and
examined the route of a railroad which
had a very large land grant. The pro-
jectors applied to him for forty miles
of rolls. The iron company would fur-
nish them on the security of the land
and bonds. The directors thought a
scheme to build a railroad in that re.
mote country utterly visionary. but
Mr. Blair. with his wonderful fore-
sight. concluded he Would furnish the
iron himself. After he nail delivered
some of it he learned that the projec-
tors were issuing unearned bonds to
themselves. and were otherwise dc.
irauding him. Upon threatening to
take back his iron. they agreed to
place everything in his hands and al-
low him to build the forty miles of
road. He did so. and afterwards built
more. making 120 miles all told, hav-
ing in the meantime made cakes Amos
his partner in the undertaking. The
roads at once did a tremendous businesl
on account of the great tide of immi-
gration West. which was then just be.
ginning. This was the first (lenien-
stration of the reel scope of Mr.
Blair's genius for great enterprises. lie
next joined Cakes Amos and others in
getting the charter of the Union Pacific
Railroad. and built the first 100 miles
westward from Omaha. ln rapid suc-
cession he built an extension of his
lows road to Omaha. then the Siouv
City and Pacific.’ihe Iowa Falls and
Sioux City and other trans-Masouri
roads which have since consolidated
with main lines. ills system was first
to construct roads on cash payments
only. then to lease them for thirty-
three or thirty-six per cent. of their
earnings, and finally to sell them when
he could get his price for them.
ills success was marvelous. and he
leaves a fortune estimated at between
“0.000.000 and “0.000000.
Mr. lilair was postmaster of Bluirs—

president of the Belvldrc. N. J.. Nat-
