The Richest Man in Australia.


James Tyson-or, as he is Familiarity
called, cold Jimmy"-the Queensland
millionaire, and reputed to be the
WealthieSt man in Australia, is well
known throug bout that continent. He
is at present making most determined
stand against the Queensland union
shearers. The Narrandera Ensign
thinks it is an appropriate time
to call attention to some of
the dOings of Mr.. Tyson. 1t
says: We find Mr.. Tyson in New
South Wales, at the recent financial
crisis, offering to take up g4,00O,OOO
worth of government treasury bills at a
moderate rate of interest. As the pub
tic well know, this offer was declined A
few years back, when the large cathe-
raj that adOrnS Brisbane was in course
of construction, the collector for the
building fund called upon welI-known
mercantile firm for a subscription, but
he was politely told that he should go
to the rich people, who might be
i'll better position to ''helD
the work along" "Go to Jimmy
Tyson, he has more than any of us.''
up to that time "Jimmy's" name was
never seen on any list for more than
Ell. "Well," said the collector, las Ty-
son is rich man | will 90 to him for
donation" DO" said the head of the
firm. land whatever he gives you, we
will guarantee you the same amount"
The collector, few days later, meeting
Mr.. Tyson, related to him what had
taken place, and concluded by saying:
80. Mr.. Tyson, do not know what
amount the firm is going to give until
have your name on my list" 'Well,"
said Mr.. Tyson Ill gruff voice, ''giYe
Inc yer pen and ink and I'll give yees a
a bob or two" Jimmy" went into
private room and wrote out check for
$4,000, and gave it to the astonished col
lectOr. On another occasion the subject
of this sketch sent lady $500 toward
parsonage fund" The lady, in jOcu-
lar manner, sent the check back and
asked Mr.. Tyson if he had not forgotten
thr other 80" at the END of the figures.
Mr.. Tyson felt aggrieved and immedi-
ately burned the check, and did not sub
scribe one shilling. Although he hrd
been known to refuse a swagman a
match unless he was paid for it, he has,
on the other hand, been known to help
widows and orphans to the tune of
thousands
