SENATOR FAIR.

1t is curious circumstance that all
four of the Bonanza people are Irishmen
by birth-three Roman Catholics, while
Fair is SO much of a Protestant as to be
called an Orangeman. 1t is remarkable,
by the way, how many of the mine own
ers and mine superintendent are Irish
men. In more than two-thirds of the
mines on the Pacific Coast the superln-
tendent or his first assistant halls from
the land of O'Connell and Parnell, and
they are generally faithful if not ultra
pious Roman Catholics The wholesale
houses on the Pacific Coast are in the
hands of the Jews. Americans are the
politicians. the lawyers. the railroad men
and the spectators. Although the best
known millionaires are Americans, it is
nevertheless true that more than half of
the wealth of the Pacific Coast is in the
hands of Irish Roman Catholics and
Jews. The Irish spend their money
freely and do not make good spectators,
but they more than make up for it by
their aptitude for practical mining.
James 6 Fair was born in Clougher,
Tyrone County, Ireland, IN December,
1881. He came to this country in 1913,
attended school at Geneva, ILL.,, where
some of his family still live. He was
an original '49er. In that year he was
at work on Long Bar, Feather River, Cal
ifornia. He did not find it profitable,
so he turned his attention to quartz min
ing. His first essay was at Angels, Ca
laveras County. He soon ranked high
as a good judge of mines and as an OPP
orator. In 1866 he became superintend-
ent of the Ophir mine, and in 1857 the
Hale and Norcross mine came under his
direction. 1t was the latter which gave
Fair his start in the world. Soon after
he made lucky guess. He surmised
that certain ground might contain a
great deal of rich ore. With the help
of Flood he secured the claim, since
grown SO famous throughout the world
as the Consolidated Virginia and Cali
fornia mines.
Senator Fair owns seventy acres of
land in San Francisco and is the owner
of residence in Menlo Park, which is
said to have cost Sl.0OO,OOO. He is
supposed to be worth S25, 100000. He
has wife and four children. Living
underground so much in an unnatural
atmosphere, he has been troubled with
rheumatism and throat diseases, and
once took trip to Japan for his health.
Fair is not as rich as either Mackay or
Flood, for his possessions represents ac-
tual money taken from the mines rather
than profits made on the Stock Exchange
Senator Fair is Democrat in politics,
but he is on the pleasantest terms with
his associate, Senator Jones, who is a
Republican. '-
