CROCKERs GREAT WEALTH.
His Estate Variously Estimated at
From 100000 to S9O,OOO,OOO.

OA SOCJOOObOCO w 0OStOOOJOOOs
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The exact value of the vast property left
by Mr.. Croker cannot be given for some
time but many estimates, broad and long,
have been made. Those who are in POSI-
ton to form a somewhat accurate idea
claim that his wealth will not exceed $685.
100000, though some persons place it as
high as $50, 900, and some as high as
SSO,O0O,OOO. 1t is probable that the first
figures are near the exact truth.
Tine real estate owned by Mr.. Croker in
San Francisco forms a large item on the
books of the tax collector. Property with
improvements of more orless value are scat
tered about the city everywhere. 1t is esti-
mated as worth fully $4,000, 900. This in
cludes the Dividend building, Belden block.
Samuers Lace house, old Cosmopolitan,
Henry s. Croker & Co.'S building, a 100
foot lot ON Market street at Ecker. and the
Haight street park. In the Visitation
Rancho, in the lower part Of the county,
are 4, 545 acres of valuable land.
Ip addition to the real property men
toned, Mr.. Croker owned fourth inter
est in Mission blocks l3 and IA, at Valencia
and Market, and in Mission block 36, one
quarter interest in blocks 4O7 to All lnclus-
i've i'll the new Potrero survey, besides lands
in various parts of the Potrero. He also
held large interests in fourteen 100-vara
lots in the ide Land Water Lot survey.
This is only small Jrtion of the property
owned by him in this country, but COM
prises the most valuable pieces.
a.. Crocker owned about 100, 900 acres of
land scattered through Korn, Tulare, Butte,
Tehama, Nevada, Placer, Solano, Colusa,
Yolo, San Joaquin, Fresno, and MERGED
counties. In the latter county were held
20 (hNl which lOoaEAd the
canal, the value of which is estimated at
S500O,OOO. The value OF the state property
can only be Guessed at, but it will run high
up in the millions.
The greatest portion of Mr.. Crocker's
wealth was invested in more than thirty
railroads, in nearly all of which he held
controlling interests. 1t is also known that
he was largely interested in mining prop
erty in Nevada, and owned valuable
ranches in various portions of the west.
In addition to these Mr.. Croker was a
heavy shareholder in 4 ,205 miles of steam
ship lines.
Mr.. Croker owned two family resi-
dences, one in this city and tie other IN
Sacramento. The personal property as
sessment in this city last year was 1914, $50
On none of this properly did he ever carry
q single cent OF insurance. Mr.. Crocker
kept his own insurance account, and every
year certain percentage OF rents, etc. D.,
wero transferred 10 what he termed his
INSURANCE fund" When, three years ago,
his building on Bush street was destroyed by
fire, at a loss OF about 800, 900, the account
contained more credits than were necessary
to erect the fine structure which arose
out of the ashes of its predecessor. With
this fund at his disposal, Mr.. Croker never
counted losses by ire as actual Fl anclal
loss
