Mt. Mackey is the most retiring and
modest of any of the California million
aires. He lives in Virginia, but his
family spend most of their time ii, San
Francisco. He dresses plainly and
might be supposed to be a well-to-do
farmer--nothing more. Already the
Nevada politicians are moving to make
him Senator Jones's successor in WASH
iDgton. IF he wants the place, he can
undoubtedly buy it for nus;h less money
than Jones paid, for Nevada politicians
are poor and hungry, and will sell out
cheap.
OF Mackey's partners, J. G.. Flood is
the most important. With O'Brien,
Flood used to keep little legroggery on
Sansome street, San Francisco. They
did not close the establishment until
1867. They made some money at the
business and invested it with Mackey
in the purchase OF the ground that is a
part of the Consolidated Virginia mine.
Flood aud o. Brien are Irishmen. They
are shrewd and sharp in business, gener-
ous to their friends, and unrelenting to
their enemies. They took up poverty
stricken newspaper man last spring "a
man who had done them some little
turn while they were in the whisky
business-and in three days made him
worth s75 900. On the other hand,
Sharon, and Ralston, and the Bank of
California, which had offended them,
they crushed ont in three weeks, and
they would have kept the bank down
but for Ralstcn's death and the popular
outcry against them. Flood recently
bought 50 100000 worth ofreal estate,
and said himself just before the new
bank opened that he had 100000
lent on call at one per cent. month.
His wealth is second only to that OF
Mackey. Col. Fair is the only man Of
book education in the firm. He has
long been mining superintendent, and
is somewhat noted for tricks that are
vain. When he was poor, a few years
ago, he was known by some as "Lying
Jim Fair" and by others as ISL ppery
Jim," but everybody calls him Col.
Fair now. He is worth ten millions.

The Oregoni0h of last week says
tDuring the last fair at Salem an old
coachman went into Rockwell's horse
show. When he came to the door, a
young man by the name of Cole was at
the entrance. He handed Cole $5 gold
piece. The people were pressing SO that
Cole had no time to make change, and
said 10 the man, ego in and take youl
seat and | viii bring you your change
when the rush is oyer.7' When Cole
presented his change, the man said i.
was ten dollars he gave him. Cole said
it was but FIVE. Mr.. Rockwell said to
the coachman that he saw the money
aud it was but live dollars. The man
gave him the id lie twice. Mr..
Rockwell asked him to be civil, and
about that time he gave Cole the lie.
Cole put in blow and knocked him
down. His friends carried him out.
Soon after the Marshal came to arrest
Cole, who had stepped back ont of sight.
Mr.. Rockwell told the Marshal that il
he would take Cole before justice and
give him a fair trial, he would have him
come in, give himself up and would pay
his fine. 1t was agreed to and the fine
proved to be $50 and costs, amounting
TO $50 more, which was considered out
of all reason. The Sunday following
Cole stared in advance OF the rest of the
troupe to Dallas, Rockwell having adj
vertised to show at Ave different points
on his circuit to Portland Mr.. Cole had
only got six miles from Salem, when a
party of eight half-breeds and roughs
came up with him, headed him off, and
ordered him to halt, saying they were

to mob him. He drew his revolver and
stood them off until he could take his

The 1saei1c Coast Midas.

len years ago. John Mackey was
working as mining laborer in little
exploring shaft in Virginia City. He
swung his pick vigorously, and was paid
81 day. To-day he has larger in
come than any other single individual
in America, and if bis wealth continues
to accumulate as it has i'll the past two
years, lis fortune will rival that of the
richest Rothschild. Mr.. Mackey is the
head of the great firm of Flood s.
O'Brien OF San Francisco, whose gigant-
ic operations and grand aggregation OF
capital recently swamped the Bank of
California, and hurled Sharon, Ralston
and Jones from their financial pedestal.
The members of the firm are John Mac
key, James G. Flood, William S. O'Bri-
en- and Col. James G.. Fair. Mr.. Mack
ey is the financial head, Flood and O'Bri-

| City. The latter embrace the Consoli-
dated Virginia, the richest mine ever dis
covered in Nevada, late turning out a
million and half month the Cali
fornia, adjoining it, with even a larger
body of ore; the Hale and No1cross,
Best and Belcher, Gould and Curry,
Sierra, Nevada, Mexican, and finally
the famous Savage, which in years
gone by has turned out its millions.
Besides, they own a score OF small
mines, any one of which may at any time
turn up a bonanza. OF the entire busi-
ness and profits of the firm, Mr.. Mackey
has a three-fifths interest. The firm
owns $4,000 shares of Consolidated
Virginia stock, on which they declare n
monthly dividend Oslo share. Mack
ey's share of this is 1896, 900 month.
OF stock in the California mine, they
own SO 900 shares. The first monthly
dividend is to be declared in November
and this will add to Mr.. Mackey's in
come, 100000 a month. The other
mines that the firm control pay no divi-
dends, but they yield large revenue to
the firm in ways more indirect. For
instance, the firm owns all the wood
used in their working, for fuel, &c, and
they sell it to the companies at an i'm
mense profit. The Savage. Hale aud
Norcross, and Gould and Curry all
crush more Or less ore, and this is done
in the firms mills at cost of. S13 ton
The yield ofsilver being scarcely enough
to pay the cost Of both mining and
crushing, assessments are levied TO naake
up the deficiency. The firms income
from this source and from crushing the
ore Of the Consolidated Virginia, which
is also done in their own mills, is esti-
mated at $50, 900 a month, Of which
put Mr.. Mackey down for $50 900.
Add to this the prospective profits Of
the Nevada Bank, which has just open

A Curious dEodRAPHtcAL PRoB-
LENA ctriotis geographical pfobleti1
is suggested By the appearance at the
mouth of the Seine, near Havre, in the
course of the present month of one OF the
hernelicaily sealed bottles in wooden
cases, which were thrown overheard dur
ing Prince Napoleon's North Pole Ex-
petition in 1860. Wooden-coyered bot
ties of this kind were thrown into the
sea daily in the month of June, in that
year fr0u the Princes ship, in the ex-
peciation that the course taken by them
would lead to the calculation or tie di-
rection of the greater oceanic currents ;
but during tue fourteen and halt years
that have interviewed since then mono OF
these bottles have. been seen till the
present one was washed ashore. It's
appearance at the mouth of the Seine
seems to indicate that polar current
must be borne into the German Ocean,
and must be carried thence through the
channel to the Western coast of France.
WHAT THE MENNoSITEs ARE.-The
great influx of Mennoniies into this
country, and their settlement in colonies
in the Western States, give universal
interest to all matters connected with
their history, rtligion and SOCIAL Gus
toms. They derive their name from
Mennon Symons, contemporary OF
Luther, under whose guidance they
were organized and indoctrinaaee. In
some respects they are like the QuakeTs,
in still others like themselves. They
are opposed to War and consistently re-
fuse military service or to hold civil of
fec. They decline to take oaths, in
obedience to the Christian precept,
ssSwear not at all.'' They hold it sim
tul to receive or pay salary for preach
ing and their preachers are chosen by lot.
There are no changes apparent in their
relations to theworld and business. They
toll from Monday morning to Saturday
night at the avocation in which they
were found when called to the work Of
the ministry. On the Sabbath they rise
before immense throngs OF deyout people
and solemnlY tel them that now they
are going to hard over the truth just
as they get it from the Holy Spirit, and
ssthey feel TO say'' thus and SO.
