Judge Hilton.

Judge Hilton, into whose possession
Stewart has handed his immense for
tune, is II short, stout man, about 81
years of age. lie was Twecd's right
hand man in the palmy days of the
''ring," and Treasurer of the Central
Park Commission, and afterward was
elected judge of II petty court, being
more of n politician than lawyer. This
situation gone, he entered Mr.. Stewards
employ us his private lawyer. lie was
cautious, painstaking and silent, drew
Mr.. Stewards papers with his own hand,
wrote slowly, with great elegance, and
his papers were models of beauty and
exactness. All his legal papers came
into the presence of the master on time,
rs required, and in perfect order. And
to these traits Judge Hilton yves his
position and his fortune. New York
City is full of the widest rumOrs about
the disposal of the Stewart property.
The general belief is that the whole
transaction covers Il great private trust.
The will was probated in Il private room.
Geo. Peabody a year before he died sent
to Stewart through this gentleman his
advice that Mr.. Stewart then and there
should donate to the city of New York
one million of money for charitable pur-
poses, and not leave the distribution of
his money to his dcath-bed. Stewart
laughed and said, 81 am perfectly
willing to give New York that sum of
money!"

Three Hundred Miles in Fifteen
Hours.

Says the New York Sun: Within 90
days from the I'd of March last, and
within 100 miles of New York City, on
a track not yet selected, there is to be
a mustang ice against time of 800
miles, to be performed within 10 hours.
Relays of mustangs, not more than 80
in number, are to be used, and the whole
distance to be made is to be ridden by
n man. The feat is to be performed
with all the adjuncts Of California sad
dies, Mexican spurs, Spanish bits, free
rein. The wagers are $4,000 against
$4,000.
The horses, purchased in Visalia,
CAL, arrived at Jersey City on the 18Th
ult., and are on their owners farm in
New Jersey, being prepared for the
race. They are the ordinary rough
coated, shaggy-maned California mus
tangs, wild as the north wind, vicious
as any Jezebel, and hardy as the sum-
mits of the Sierras. Under the condi-
tions of the wager they are to be grass
fed up to the day of the race, and to be
taken without choice, except, of course,
a regard for physical soundncss, from
the Visalia s~tock-yards. These terms
lave been complied with to the letter.
Their rider is a Mexican, famous in the
lar west as a horseman, n of the most
daring riders that ever carried the mails
into Southern California. In addition
to himself are three other horsemen,
who are prepared to mount should any
thing happen to him. There are six
extra horses, in the event of any acct
dent to one, and each of the jockeys has
his W personal accoutrements.
The principals in the wager are
prompted by a firm belief in the merits
of thoroughbreds and California native
stock, respectively, one being a resident
New Yorker and the other an old Cali
fornian, n OF the pioneers of '49. The
wager had its origin in a conversation
between them in which the feats of n.
IL. Mowery, the champion relay rider
OF the West, were spoken of, and the
New Yorker based his wager on the be.
lief that, although the mustangs might
be able to do all that was said of them
on the Pacific slope, they could not en-.
dure the change of climate, food, and
water, ~inseparably from a visit here,

tween Ogden and Laramie, and resting
In corrals filled with snow, and they
are in such prime condition hat their
owner is willing to put them on the
track within "a hours.
The odds in the wager have been Civ

the heavy expenses Of purchase and
transfer. These have amounted to
more than $4,000

"LooK here, my friend" said the
clerk of II San Antonio hotel to II rough
customer from the frontier, who was
about to take his place at the dinner
table with his s~ix-shootcr at his hip,
"you'I have to leave that in the Office
until you leave town." The frontiers
man objected because he was not used
to sitting down at the table without his
"weepings." The clerk refused to
pander to the whims of the guest, al
though he was willing he should wear
the empty holster of the pistol, but the
whole matter was finally arranged with
out prejudice to the honor of either
party, by the guest taking out of the
weapon all the metallic cartridges but
one, which was retained to secure re-
spectful treatment from the waiter.

aires.

The New York World draws some en-
tertaining comparisons between New
York and California m~illionaires and
the methods by which their wealth had
been obtained. Vanderbilt is now tho
sole survivor of the three New Workers
whose fortunes ranked with the great
fortunes of the world. All this great
wealth was the result of hard work, sa-
gacity and economy, steadfastly contin-
ued during a long series of years. Nor
can any of the great centers of civiliza-
tion-London, Paris, Berlin or Vienna
furnish the names of three men who
have, unaided, achieved such enormous
fortunes in the short space of IL life.
The realization of such exc optional con-
ditions for all of commercial
and industrial enterprises here in the
Eastern States during the remaining
years OF the century IA not be hoped
for again. But over the mountains, on
the shores of the Pacific, where untold
wealth lies dormant in the bowels of
the earth, only requiring the ingenuity
and labor of man to bring it forth, there
is opened a field for the rapid accumu-
lation of wealth which bids fair to fur
nish us with California millionaires,
some of whom are already among the
rich men of the world. Senator Sharon,
a man yet in the prime of life, is re.
puted to be worth $4,000, 900. His col
league, Jones, of Nevada, is estimated
al $50, ,0OO. Flood, O'Brien, Mackay
and Fair all went to California without
money or friends. 1t is estimated that
each partner of this firm is to-day in
the enjoyment of over 81 ,000, 900 a year.
The Big Bonanza alone is computed to
contain a mass of gold and silver val.
ued at $500, DOC, 900, and yields at pres.
emit over 81, 800, 900 a month. The fab
ulous sums which are here regularly
extracted from the earth every four
weeks remind one Of the fairy tales OF
old. The Consolidated Virginia mine
produces $3,000,0 900 a month, while it
is estimated by those experts now on
the ground that The total product of the
"Comstock" for the present year will
exceed $75,000,000. With such exam
pies as these before us we may conf
IDENTIFY look for the great fortunes of the
future among the merchants and ira
ders of California.
