何昆山

何昆山(1838年—1901年),又名何献墀,英文纪录称为何亚美HO Amei),19世纪末香港广东矿业商人。

生平

何昆山生于广东南海,在香港英华书院毕业。其后出洋到澳洲新金山投靠兄长。其时广东华工在澳洲大多从事矿工,令何昆山熟习开矿业务。1868年,何昆山觉得在澳洲发展有限,于是转回香港,受英国人聘任于粤海关、香港华民政务司和广东税务局。[1]

1880年代,何昆山研究广东地理,找出当地矿藏,并于1886年说服两广总督张之洞设立广东矿务局。何昆山因此而投资二十万両创办两家矿业公司,在香山开办潭州矿,并以每年二千両购入当时尚在新安大屿山梅窝一带的开矿权,即银矿湾近的银矿,聘请英国专家协助管理。[1]

除了矿业之外,何昆山也曾发展其他业务。1881年,何昆山开设香港华合电报公司,打算铺设广州至香港的电报电缆,但香港政府不批准其电缆入境,故只能铺至界限街以北的深水埗一带。1882年,何昆山与英国水务工程师在广州勘察,并倡议开设自来水厂,但同样不获支持。[2]

何昆山也热心公益事务,于1882年至1884年出任东华医院保良局主席,并为1885年广东水灾筹款赈灾。[2]

有三个子女,大儿子和女儿由德国妻子所生,小儿子是清末民初的漫画家,戏剧家何剑士[3]
