Christian Strøm Holth, left the Chicago engineering office of the federal government to serve, in 1905, as chief engineer of the Brazilian Diamond, Gold and Development Company. His work consisted of surveying concessions, determing values, and making preparations for later mining activity. Returning to federal employment in the States, he later worked on such Missisippi River projects as the Keokuk Dam, and gained a reputation as a prominent mechanical engineer. It is interesting to note that while in Brazil, Holth was known among the natives of fever-ravished districts as Dr. Christiano, because of his kindly interest in the sick and the remedies that he was able to provide
