Jopsepl Hechart Frazer, B. C. E. OSEPH HECKART FRAZER was born at Port Deposit, Maryland, on September 30, 1882, For six years he lived with his parents on the shore of the SBusquehanna until, in 1888, the family moved to Newark, Delaware. He received his first taste of school life at the Newark Academy, which he soon left for the public schools of the town. Having graduated from school in June, 1899, he entered Delaware College the following September as a student in the Civil Engineering Department. During the summer following his junior year at college, he worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He then returned to college and was graduated with his class in 1903. After graduation Frazer again worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad under the supervision of Division Engineer William L. Sissons, spending soms time with him on a preliminary survey in West Virginia, In 1904 the Bolivian Government asked through their representative in this eountry for an engineer to make a railroad survey for them. Mr. Sissons was chosen for the task, and being allowed to pick his men, he seleeted Joseph Frazer as one to accompany him to South America. The party set out for Bolivia in De- cember, 1904. But a short time after their arrival in the roof of the world'a name by which Bolivia is sometimes knownthe corps was dishanded on aceount of the ill-health suffered by the chief engineer and some of the party in conse- quence of the extreme altitude of the country. All returned home except young Frazer, who determined to stick it out sinee he had gone so far. 5o he secured a position with the Andes Tin Company, for whom he worked about a year as min- ing emgineer, He then formed a partnership with an English business man by the name of Rumbolt, and together they set up the firm of Rumbolt Frazer, mining engi- neers, When, at the end of two years they were performing railroad work, Rum- bolt withdrew from the firm. His place was soon filled, however, by Mr. A. W. Yount, and with the firm now operating as Yount Frazer, bids were given al- most wholly on railroad work alone, The first contract that the new firm received was for a railroad, fifty-five miles in length, and running from Cochabamba to Oruro, The task of constructing this railroad was diffienlt in the extreme; their camps had to be pitehed at altitudes of from 15,000 to 16,000 feet above sea level, The suecess of the two young engi- neers on this work was remarkable and instantly brought them into prominence.
