years, owing to his profusion of blonde
locks, as the Golden Irishman." He was
carpenter by trade. Another was named
William s. O'Brier-always called Billy

Just to look around a little. They did not
know each other, and met for the first
time on board ship. They did a good deal
of talking on the voyage, and when they
landed in New York they were fast
friends, and struck up a partnership that
was not dissolved till death.
When they arrived in New York, and
had chance tc take in the town, they
was too big. They wanted more breath
ing space Then they contracted the min
ing fever. as mostly every one did in those
days So, in 1851, they took passage in
the good ship Elizabeth Ellen, doubled
the boisterous Horn and landed at Yerba
Buena, now San Francisco.
They were in the FL Dorado of the
world, treading the golden sands of Cali
fornia, the end of the glittering vista
through which the eyes of the world were
gazing with longing. The fever was at
its height. Men were going wild with
excitement Every ship brought crowds
of eager adventurers, and fortunes were
being made in amazingly short times
weeks, days, even hours. Flood and
'Brien were as eager as the rest.
What did they do?
Did they cavort around, shrek. invest

to lay out part of their profits in small
mining ventures. They accumulated some
more money.
Their place was frequented by all sorts
and conditions of men-wrecks who. with
high hopes, had come to the mines and
lost everything; reckless miners who
spent their dust like water gamblers,
adventurers, all stamps of men.

few hundred dollars, the claim was
bought, the young man took the money
to Sacramento and drank it up, nnd
Maclay soon discovered that he and his
partners owned the Consolidated Virgil
mia. which was destined to become the
most famous mine in the world. Then
began the search for the treasure. For
long time the quartet firm, with all its
mining property. took out but little
money, but Mackay kept steadily at
work.
The persistence, endurance and skill
required in hunting the ore body was
something to discourage most men. EN.

despair. declaring that it would never pay

and his associates refused to be discour.

world. In six years they yielded in gold

1879 the dividends which they paid were

perity the Consolidated Virginia and the
California company turned out a gross
product of SIS 600 600 month. Each of the
bonanza partners drew from them at one
time about $75c 900 month as his indi-
vidual share of the profits. In six years
the Comstock lode-of which these two
mines were but a part-yielded more than
$500, 000. 900 in ore

later known as the big Four"-was
made complete. Among the occasional
frequenters of the saloon was q bright
young lrishman, named John w. Mackay.
He had been among the mines for some
time, had been sitting and picking the
gravel in running streams, tramping
alone with his blanket and tools, but
somehow he never managed to strike 1t
rich. But he was an experienced miner,
and was chock full of ideas and nerve.
He didn't have any money, but Flood and
OBrien thought his experience would be
worth good deal to them. They formed
a compact. Mackay knew another young
Irishman, a clever engineer, experienced
in mines. His name was James Ct. Fair.
He didn't have cent, but he too, was
made partner.
By this time Flood and O'Brien were
pretty well off. Mackay and Fair took
their kits and went off to prospect. They
were not very successful for some years,
and just managed to get along. By and
by came the rumor across the Sierras
that great veins of quartz carrying a
strange black metal which experts said
was silver, had been discovered. Mackay
and Fair went there from the placer dig
gings in the valleys to the quartz lodes
high up in the ice and snow and Arctic
winds which pour down from Manitoba
with a biting intensity nobody who has
not spent winter in Virginia City car

years, four bonanza kings. They weren't
bonanza kings when they first opened
their eyes, and began to kick at things in

began to play tag and humble tie peg they
commenced to dream, in n vague sort OF
