SOME months ago the San Francisco
Bulletin, speaking of the wealth of the
mining firms of the Pacific slope, esti-
mated that of Flood, O'Brien, Mackay
q Fair at 100000, OOO-t though it is be-
lieved that was rather an under estimate.
O'Brien died, and his estate cut up for
only about S6,000,000. This shows how
little reliance is to be placed on ante
norton estimates of mans wealth. 1t
takes an administrator or executor to
cut down these figures, and what they
leave the lawyers can dispose of. Itdoes
not take them long to go through rich
testator's pile.

veys the impression that you will be left
penniless by the transaction. A smiling,
quiet promptness marks the gentleman
