The Bonanza Kings.

THREE MEN WHO OWN 500, 700 AND
WANT TO BUY TIE PRESIDENCY FOR
GRANT.
From, the New York Graphic1
James W. Mackly was born in
Dublin in 1885, and was seventeen
years old when he arrived IL Cali
fofnia. For twelve years he was
common miner. This practical
apprenticeship enabled him to pros
pect mining claims, to locate mines
and to make remuneratiye invest
ments. Ills income is now esti-
mated at $000,O00. y
Jas. G. Fair came to this country
at twelve years of aga, with his pa.
rents, who were in very humble
circumstances. lie went to Calls
fcrnia in 1649. In 1851 he became
superintendent of the Ophir aine,
subsequently made~lucky invest
ments in San Flapciscoreal estate,
the gains OF which he invested in
Consolidated Virginia, Ophir and
California mines lie is forty-sev-
en- years old, and his -mou,hly in
come is S500.oO0, s-- IA
Jas. G. Flood was born. in 1928,
and was just OF age when he ar
rived in California and struck out
for the mines. For five years he
worked with the hardest Of the
miners, undergoing all their hard
ships and privations. In 1854 hs
luckily formed a partnership with
OBrlen, and from that time he
began to rise. He is one of the
leading owners of the Bank of Ne
vada. His wealth cannot be fully
estimated, but is sufficient to give
him the control of the San Fran
cisco Mining Stock Exchange, the
fluctuations of which, III single
day, range from 80 to SO per cent.
The united fortunes of the bonanza
tiumyirate cannot lie less than
$I0O, 100000, Of which Mackay
alone has $40,000,O00. The rise
of these men from extreme poverty
to their present immense wealth is
unparalleled In the history of ac-
quired opulence. They are all yet
IN middle life, are cautious, saga
cious. enterprisiEg and thoroughly
posted in everything relating to
mining properties: Should they
live a decade moro, they will be
the richest men the world has ever
seen. .iE @ ssh'

that made him at once so gallant

Mrs. Guion, with a little grasp OF
astonishment.
Nevertheless, then and there she
accepted the situation with becom-
ing grace; and afterwards, as the
two brides became more and more
beloved and admired among their
new and aristocratic friends, she
became q model of a sister and
mother, because of policy, and per-
haps because under the ashes of
pride there had ever smouldred a
flame of womanly kindness and af-
fection.

"Honest JOnn Letcher."
SECRETARY THoMPsoN's REMINISCENT
CES OE HIS CONGRESSIONAL DAYS.

Among the many pleasing reminis-
cences OF old times in Washington, long
before 1.-The war broke the country up"
with which Secretary Thompson is &C
customed to season his social talk, is a
little incident in the life of "HonestD
John Letcher tn is worth recalling
and recording. Letcher and THOMPSON
Were old and attached friends. Letcher
was then member of Congress, and
Thompson was in Washington attend
ing to suits before the Supreme Court
The two were accustomed to pass their
evenings together sucking aud chat
ting. A lobbyist, who was one of
number'engaged in efforts to secure a
subsidy. knowing Colonel Thompson
intimate social relations with Letcher,
called at the rooms of the former, ana,
after good deal of light skirmishiug,
came out flat footed" with request
that Thompson would say to Lelcher
that So, 900 awaited him if he would vote
for the subsidy. Colonel Thompson
replied that there were many reasons
why he would not like to deliver such
message, and that one reason which
ought to have INFLUENCE with the lobby.
ists was that the prol O,al would be so
offensive to Letcher that he would not
only vote, but work with all his might
against the measure. While Colonel
Thompson was making this remark
there was knock at the door, and in
obedience to his "Come in!" entered
John Letcher, whereupon Colonel
Thompson said: fletcher, you are ;n
good time.-Here is man VINO wants
to see you. He wants your vote, for his
subsidy, naming ,the particular mea-
sure in question:, land says he will
make it worth S., 600 to you" Letcher
took in the situation instanfec, aud fiar
ed up with uneon,cuifabie rage, utteriug
a yolley Of fniprecalions more forcible
than elegant. He started toward the
now really alarmed subsidy man but
the latter, who had worked around to
position between Letcher and the door,
dashed into the hail and out into the
street, followed by an avalanche of in
verted blessings. AS the Secretary cOn
cluded the relation of this inri-'- no
called to his mind h.

as if memory were exploring the long
vistas of a half-forgotten past, and paus-
ing by the graves of many of the great
aud pure men who we're his and >{4etch-
er's old time friends Turning at length
to friend who sat near, he said! II
do not think more honest man ever
lived than John Letcher."
