ing with the lonely I've they nave 80
long led. Thor, is a.splendid chance
for one of them to secure home of
ease and luxury and more money
than Gould, Astor and Vanderbilt
combined ever had.
In Santiago, Chill, lives a widow,
Mrs. Isadora Consino. She is middle
aged, fat and fair. She owns millions
of acres of land; millions OF cash
money; Aocks and herds that are
numbered by hundreds of thousands,
and mines Of coal, copper and silver, the
first (coal) yielding eighty thousand
dollarsincome per month, and compris-
ing an entire monopoly OF fuel for South
America. Besides these she owns
acres of real estate, on which are val
liable buildings, in the great cities of
Santiago and Valparaiso, feet of
eight iron steamships, smelling works,
railroad and other productive prop
critics, yielding yearly income of
millions.
Besides these immense properties
Mrs. Consino owns every house and
lot in Lola, whose seven thousand in
habitants are wholly dependent upon
her. So in the town Of Coronel, with
eight thousand people, of whom nine
tenths are on her pay-rolls. In these
two towns she pays out as wages one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
per month, the greater part of which
is spent in her immense supply stores.
In Lola-a dirty, smoky mining
town strange to say, she is building
million dollar residence, all the work
on which, from foundation to decora-
ton, will be done by Frenchmen i'm
ported for that purpose. This man
sion will stand in the center of the
most lovely and elegant private park
in the world, consisting of two hun
dred and fifty acres laid out most elab-
orately, and filed with statuary, foun-
tains, caves, cascades and forest of
trees and choice plants.
There is another advantage offered
to the wife-secking bachelor of Wood
River. In Chill all the tenants on a
farm and Mrs. Consino has numer-
Gus extensive ones), are subject to the
call of the proprietor or proprietors in
time of disturbance or war, and this
widow can marshal two thousand stall
wart men to her standard within
few days, if she wants them. This,
In an emergency, might be a great
convenience. Among her city prop
erty in Santiago, which is very extern
sive, is the gorgeous mansion that was
built and occupied by Henry Meiggs,
the runaway Californian who grew
rich in South America.
Beside the properties here outlined
she has real estate that returns
yearly rental of three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. She is the
shrewdest business manager in that
country; demands an account of every
cent earned or expended on these
vast estates and properties, and is as
lavish and liberal as can be. She
makes gifts TO the public worth mil
lions, and when the notion strikes her,
she provisions one of her steamships
most extavaga"tly, invites fifty or one
hundred guests, hires band and goes
off over the seas in search of a iolly
good time-and has it. She is known
as the ''Queen OF Vineyards" and the
wines she makes by thousands of
casks has the first sale on that Coast.
With all this wealth, with health and
only middle-age, this Crnsus of Peru
says she will not marry, and no man,
it is said by Boston exchange, has
the courage to ask her.
Wood River bachelors! here's
chance for one Of you.
