should "take in the stone jug. and study its

on visit to other important monuments
of Salinas enterprise. There a disagree

there might be easy sailing again. There was

strain in all directions, and YET ''corn juice"
wouldn't move. More - head of steam" was
put on and soon ''corn juice" headed into the
channel and work all right. with the ntoT-
said tug and propeller doing the best of ser
vice behind. Corn juice" was finally slowed
away in the proper form and the tug futile

United states Senator from Nevada, was OF the
owners in tins enterprise hut lately sold his interest to
Ralston for an enormous sum.
Mr. Ralston was of medium height compactly built,
with good breadth OF shoulder high capacious fore
head thin, nrmly-set lips; oval well shaped
face good features, steelgray eye and great express
sion of concentration and extreme mental activity In
manner he was curt generally brief speech and to the
point bat able upon occasion state his views in
their uness with felicity strength and nervous vigor
oflanguage In habit Mr. Ralston exhibited intense ap
pcatlon to business and excessive industry He was
a brief sleeper and during mostbf his working hours
devoted himself TO the details of his vast official bust
ncss-besldes his considerable private affairs, which
should suffice alone To keep most busy with all his
tremendous energy His despatch of business
what marvellous, and the popular belief in his nallblty
amounted TO superstition. His opinion of men, busi-
projects and financial matters generally was
sidered conclusive His personal power the States
and Territories OF the Pacific was great The influence
of the corporation Of which he chief officer
felt everywhere
Mr. Ralson in 1858 married brilliant and accom-
pshed niece OF J. d. Fry, by whom he had several
children The country residence OF Mr. Ralston sit
uated about twenty-five miles south of the city in
charming valley known as "Diabo Canyon" Much
has been said. from time to time of tho magnincence,
luxury and beauty of Mr. Ralson's private residence
located at Diablo Canyon, which is of the most
beautiful valleys in California, and location for
country residence Is certainly unequalled the Con-
tinent
Visitors to California; II prominent men, whether
lawyers lecturers editors, congressman distinguished
foreigners nancicrs business men, did consider
that they had the institutions of the country
less they had visited tho magnificent bank building and
had been entertained at tho princey country seat Of
Mr. Raston at Belmont in Santa Clara Valley, not far
from San Francisco. II contains a splendid music hall
and all the appointments of palace, and cost over
$3.50, 600
Mr. Ralson's charities were very considerable, but
not done in TO be Of men, One of
his characteristics was n fondncss for unlimited
number of fine horses In the pleasant season of the
year he frequently drove between tho city and his
country seat He owned land near Belmont and
parts of town sites both sides of the bay south
of the city, which he desired to render valuable by the
construction of bridge at Ravonswood and direct
line of railroad following the bay shore With this OBJ
ject in view Mr. Ralston willing that the city of San
Francisco should be taxed 81 500 OO0 to be given
company to build the Ravenswood BRIDGE but the peo-
Pile did not understand it in that way. From the part
he filled in tho public eye OF San Francisco the excite
ment caused there by his suicide can be well under
stood. 1t only be compared to that in New York
which followed the shooting of Fisk
