MACKAY, TIE BONANZA KING.
AN INCOME OF SIP, 900, 900 A YEAR.
A MAN WHO HAS S36, 600 A DAY CON-
y IN TO HIM.

What shall a man do TO be saved
from ennui from worse, if he have an
income of over twelve millions a year
not twelve millions in francs. lire,
pesetas or any unsatisfactory coin of
that sort, but in good gold dollars.
There is a man in San Francisco who
is doomed tC draw this sum from his
investments. He is N Of four who
own the largest shares IN the Con-
solidated Virginia Mine, otherwise
called the Big Bonanza, and about
the richest in the world. The four
are known us the Bonanza Kings, and
Mr.. Mackay, as owning a three
eighths share of the entire profits of
the mine, is a sort of emperor among
them. From the mining share alone
he draws about $500, 900 in gold
every month. Even with this sum-,
what is n man, who saves SO much,
to do to be saved?
He may put it out in other enter
prises, in the hope of losing some,
and having less to count. Alas, Mr..
Mackay has done SOL cannot speak
as to the intention, but only as to the
fact-and it brings in more money
than ever. 1t will not get lost. He
buys into United States funds, and
they turn out an excellent investment.
1t is estimated that at this present
time of writing the sun S25 a minute
is coming to him as income from all
sources, and that this goes on for all
the minutes Of the day and night, for
all the days and nights Of the year.
Between midday and midday, then,
the yield of his fortune-to say moth
ing of the capitals $4,000 and
this, multiplied by 500, gives $751;
40, 900, the sum which he has annu-
ally to find some use for on peril of
going melancholy mad. Think of
getting up every morning with the
task of disposing of your days frac-
ton of that awful sum! Think of
lying down every night with the
knowledge that your average of S25
of Fate is being added to $50 without
a minutes intermission through all
the silent hours! The reflection ought
to take the i~mpudence out of the
Pilgrim of Love for erermore-as il
he were the only fellow in the world
with the prospect of no rest but the
grave! suppose you were, as this
man. bowed beneath the too vast orb
of your luck, what would you do to
prevent your load from growing in
supportable, to keep your orb down?
Well, you might 10 something by

seemed to shake the solid earth. 5
tremendous was the blow that the
savages dealt that the prop against
the door gave way, and fell from it's
place, and the door itself trembled as
though it was coming down. The
heart of Reuben sank within his
breast. Another such a blow must
place them at the mercy Of the sava-
ges. Only his rifle would stand be-
tween them and death. But at this
moment Providence interposed its
hand. As though the peal Of the
thunder had been a signal for the
tempest to commence, the rain came
down in torrents. Not knowing the
execution their last blow had done,
the savages heSitated as the storm
broke upon them.
A little way from the cabin stood
q large oak that the settler had spar
ed for its beauty and grateful shade.
TO the shelter of this the savages
fled, to wait until the tempest was
over. Thus our friends had a respite
for q time. Hastily Reuben replaced
the prop, and did his best to make
the door secure again.
Ten minutes passed, and the rain
came down rs though there vas a
second deluge upon the earth. He
heard nothing of the savages, but he
thought he knew where they were, and
that the attack would be renewed as
soon as the rain had cleared.
Suddenly there came a VIVID flash
Of lightning, followed by a report
that seemed to shake the earth as
though it was a leaf suspended in
mid air. For q long time they sat
half dazcd and stunned by the re-
port, and when 1T last they were
themselves again the rain had ceased.
A bright light shone without, and
Reuben once gazcd through the
crevice to see what it meant.
The oak was rivcn into a thousand
fragments, and its trunk was on fire.
Scattered among the debris lay the
mangled forms of the savages. The
same blow that had blasted the oak
had deprived them of life.
In after days Reuben and Ruth told
their grandchildren how it was that
they were saved by lightning.

them everywhere, and then, by a re-
ally happy thought, they made their
temporary parterres more costly by
putting some hundreds of stuffed
tropical birds to nestle among the
leaves. 1t was another happy thought
to have engraved slabs of silver for
the menu instead of cards. A few
hundred dollars were burned away
outside as an illumination of the front
of the building.
Having seen what sort Of O house
money a buy, now let US see what
company-hum! we must not analyse
too closely, if only became the an
alyst was necessarily there. All that
you can say is, that it is not easy to
get the very best in that commodity
by the mere rubbing of the ring. 1t
takes time the genii himself might
have failed. The company was just
a little mixed, and no wonderful
natlonalities were there. One of the
cavaliers was a dentist-a tooth-car-
penter, as it was put by a friend /;
others would have been held worthy
to sit at meat with his customers,
who are mostly kings. 1t was mix
ed-you a say no more; in part,
perhaps, because it suited the hostess
to have it so. Had it been other
wise, a saving of but one half of the
outlay on sworded footmen--some
with halberds in their hands-wouid
| have more than sufficed to hire a
sufficient supply of needy mobiles of
| good character to give grace to the
| scene.
] The rough estimate of the cost of
, the Grant reception was 500, 900, or
a little more than half the income for
the twenty-tour hours. The Bonanza
King in San Francisco must have
slept a little more easily that night
ween they tent him the news by ca
BILE. He had $50 900 less to count
the next morning, and he had some
excuse for thinking that he had ''made
others happy as he did not hear
their remarks.
