- RICHARD HAYTER News of the death of Richard Hayter, former secretary of Marsman and Company, in Barbados, West Indies, on Friday, October 1st, was received in Manila recently. Mr. Hayter left the Philippines early in 1936 because of failing health, and spent some time in New York before going south to a more agreeable climate. Mr. Hayter was a close personal friend of Mr. Marsman, and helped considerably in the early organization of the Marsma.n interests. He came to the Philippines in 1929 on a leisurely trip around the world, presumably interrupted only temporarily. He stayed on, however, and became established in the mining industry. In 1930 he was sent to Baguio by the Manila Daily Bulletin to make a survey as to the possibilities of establishing a weekly supplement for Baguio and for the mining industry. As a result of his survey, the Baguio Bulletin was started in November, 1930, to serve the mining industry, at that time confined almost entirely to the Mountain Province. He became acquainted with Mr. Marsman while in Baguio, and with him conceived the idea of a widespread comprehensive mining organization serving the Philippines. He worked with Mr. Marsman in the building of Marsman and Company, and in the expansion of its activities to Camarines Norte, Mankayan, and elsewhere over the Islands. He was elected secretary of the company in January, 1933 and served in that capacity until July 30, 1936. Mr. Hayter organized the Gold Mining Association of the Philippines, in August, 1932, and served as its secretary until it was reorganized into the Chamber of Mines early in 1936. A native of New England, Mr. Hayter was a graduate of Harvard University. After his return to the States last year he attended the 50th reunion of his class. He engaged in newspaper work, early in his career, on the Pacific Coast, and was at one time city editor of a leading west coast paper. He later engaged in business and in research work, and was listed in "Who's Who.'' MANILA BUSINESSMEN DIE The Philippines lost two of its most prominent businessmen in the deaths of E. M. Bachrach, on September 28, and of J. J. Elizalde, on October 1. Mr. Bachrach was president and founder of the Bachrach Motor Company. He came to the Philippines soon after American occupation, and immediately established himself in business in Manila. After a trip to the United States in 1907 he brought back the first automobile seen in Manila. For the next 30 years he was outstanding in his pioneering efforts to provide the Philippines with economical transportation. Mr. Bachrach had extensive mining interests, and at the time of his death was president of the Big Wedge Mining Company and had extensive interests in other mining concerns. 8 Don Joaquin Elizalde a native of Spain, came to the Islands in 1891, to become affiliated with the founder of Elizalde & Company, Joaquin M. Elizalde, his uncle. As head of the Elizalde interests for many years, Don Joaquin pioneered in many industries now flourishing in the Philippines. The Elizalde interests now embrace shipping, sugar, hemp, lumber, paints, oil and varnishes, insurance, mining, cattle raising, general import and export business, financing, and banking. On behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Marsman, and of the Marsman organization as a whole, the Marsman Magazine offers sincere condolences to the bereaved families of Mr. Bachrach and of Don Joaquin.
