ALy1NZA HAYWARD.
Almost ali the older stock of California
mining mllonarlcs have now sought a
residence outside OF me ptait. MdChuN >
family Is in London, permanently installed
m their magnificent new house, but
Mackay himself rather favors New York,
where he can, If he Will, hobnob with G. y.
Huntington, u. q. Mills or, not infrequent-
". with Leland Stanford. Some of the adj
vcniurcrs of early days remain. however.
One OF the most picturesque of these IS
Alvnza Hayward. whose career Is strange
opitome of mining life. | do not believe
Mr.. Hayward has been east of the Missis-
fipm IN ten years, though he was born and
reared 10 manhood In this state. The son
of poor parents. Mr.. Hayward was IN the
boyhood bound out TO farmer for 500
and "A freedom suit" of clothes. About
1870 he went To Minnesota. married there,
and settled down. when the discovery OF
gold at Suffers Fort unsettled him and
every one else.
Mr.. HAYWARD loft his wife and started
West with all he had saved. After some
ups and downs he found himself digging
away AT a rather uupromislng claim with
every cent gone. In this extremity Bo-
nau2a Flood. then the keeper of a small
grocery. came 10 has assistance. Hayward
had Just spent all offlood's money, as well
as his own. when he struck il rich. His
FIRST move was 70 write 10 his wife for the
dr.t time IN months mis- second 10 invite
Flood 10 ION him III working what proved
t. I've the very richest OF all the California
mines. IL was gratitude worth while, for
1t made "a many millionaire OF Flood as well
Us Hayward.
Then there were other mines and more
millions and wonderful houses and stables
end acts of prineely generosity. Then fam
Nv troubles and era iual retirement from
affairs. Now Mr.. Hayward is q feeble old
man. not much ike the rosy country boy
who used 10 throw hase-ba left-handed
farther than any Of Ia loolnates could
do with either hand, W. 70 not one of the
lot had ever seen $40 I.obably any one
OF the others has led g. happy life.
