certify to the following facts in my own case.
The past spring was sore afflicted with
Sciatic rheumatism, suffering night after
night and all night, without the least cessa-

knew. MY doctor, who practiced In my family
for over thirty years, TO my entire satisfaction,
and in whom still have the utmost confidence,
said that "medicine would do me no good-he
could not help me, time probably would, and
meantime must grin and bear it, But was
not disposed to do so, and in my desperation,
caught at the flrst article which, under the
name OF quack or patent medicine, or any other
remedy, promised relief. 1t happened that this

JOHN MACKEY, THE CALI
TORNI.4 MINER.

Ten years ago John Mackey was
working as a mining laborer in lit
tie exploring shaft in Virginia City.
He swung his pick vigorously, and
was paid ST a day. To-day he has a
larger income than any other single
individual in America, and if his
wealth continues to accumulate as it
has for the past two years, his for
tune will rival that Of the richest
Roth :chill. Mr.. Mackey is the head
Of the great mining firm Of Flood &
O OBricn, Of this city, whose gigantic
operations and grand aggregation Of
capital recently swamped the Bank
Of California, and hurled Sharon,
Ralston and Jones from their hnan-
cial pedestal. The members Of the
firm are John Mackey, James G.
Flood, William S. O'Bricn and Col.
James G. Fair. Mr.. Mackey is the
financial head, Flood and o Brien
attend to the interests of the firm, in
California, and Colonel Fair is work
ing superintendent Of the mines in
Virginia City. The latter embrace
tho famous Consolidated Virginia
tie richest mine ever discovered in
Nevada, nov turning out a million
and a,half a month; the California
adjoining it, with even larger body
Of ore the Halo and Norcross Best
and Balcher, Gould and Curry, Sierra
Nevada, Mexico, and finally the IA
nous Savage, which in years gone by
has turned out its millions. Besides
they owu a score Of small mines, any
one of which may at any time turn
up a bonanza.
OF the entire business and profits
Of the firm Mr.. Mackey has three
hfths Interest. The firm owns GG,OOO
shares Of Consolidated Virginia stock,
on which they declare a monthly
dividend Of $40 a share. Mackey' s
share Of this is $4,000 a month
or stock in the California mine they
own 10000 shares. The first monthly
dividend is to be declared in Novem-
Der, and this will add to Mr.. Mackey's s
income $500, 1000 month. The other
mines that lie firm control pay no
dividends, but they yield large rev.
enue TO the firm in ways more in
direct. For instance, the firm own
all the wood used in their working,
both for fuel and for timbering, and
they sell It to the companies at an
immense profit. Tie Savage, Hale
and No1cross, and Gould and Curry
all crush more or less ore, and this is
done in the firms mills at a cost OF
$l3 ton. The yield Of silver being
scarcely enough to to pay the cost Of
both mining and crushing, assessments
are levied to make up the deficiency.
The firm S income from Ibis source
and from crushing the ore of the Con-
solidated Virginia, which is also
done in their own mills, is estimated
at $4,000 a month, Of which put Mr..
Mackey down at $4,000.
Add to this the prospective profits
Of the Nevada Bank, which has lust
opened with cash capital Of $5,O0O,-
600, and which is the exclusive prop
erty Of the firm, and you may then
figure out the income of Mr.. Mackey.
The Bank Of California paid for years

WDlCn Mr. Mackey snare Will Dc
$45,O00 To sum up then, Mackey
will have for the next year from his
mining and bullion interests alone
the colossal income of 1881 1000 a
month, or at the rate of nearly $40,
100000 a year. This does not in
clude the income of his vast wealth
in real estate. For the past year he
has been making large investments
in the very heart of the city. Whole
blocks of the most valuable real estate
in San Francisco have been purchased,
and the income from these cannot
we'll be estimated, but it must be
enormous.
Mr.. Mackey is the most retiring
and modest Of any of California S
