Sir William Van Then Mining pit and rail careers
A long miscellany recounts Sir William Van Then mining and William C. Van Bierne, a famed railroad man. It notes his start as a telegraph operator in Chicago, rapid rise to general manager, and his work on the Canadian Pacific Railway under Lord Strathcona, earning knighthood from Queen Victoria. The piece adds anecdote about his light view of the title and a reference to Leopold’s pagoda treasures, plus other quick historical notes on Africa wireless telegraphy, Egypt tombs, and ministerial health anecdotes.
