the development of native energy and
thrift. Born in Clogher, County Ty-
rome, Ireland, on Dee. 3, 1891 he came
at IL years of age to the United States.
A little instruction at the public
schools and some training in poorly
paid employment until he was 10 were
all the preparation he had recelsed
for his future, when the CalifgTnia
gold fever broke out. Fair wasaSbig
strong boy, quiet, steady, industridus
and determined to succeed In the
spring of 1s49 he joined caravan
about crossing the continent. The
overland pilgrimage completed in
August, he worked with pick and pan
as a miner for some time, but without
success. Turning his attention to the
construction of mills, he Jared better,
soon demonstrated his superior ability
as mining engineer, and not long
after he had attained his majority he
was in charge of important mining
operations as the general manager of
the famous Ophir mine in Nevada. In
| 1887 he was superintendent of the rich
Hale and Norcross mine in the Com
stock lode, and his wealth was accu-
mulating rapidly. Mr.. Flood became
his partner, and later the firm was in
creased by the association with it of
Mackay and O'Brien. The Bonanza"
firm obtained control of mines which
soon became known as the Console
dated California and Virginia" and
which paid more tnan $780, 000,00 in
dividends in three years. Mr.. Fair did
not continue TO devote himself
to mining. He invested freely
and variously in California. principally
in real estate in San Francisco, and
also in railroads, ranches, and mills,
conducting his ventures with so much
business sense that his enormous for
tune continued to steadily increase.
Hard work and business anxiety had
told upon him in 1880, when, by the
advice of his physician he made tour
of the world. Upon his return he was
elected senator of the United States
from the state of Nevada. The sue
cessful mining operator was not an
impressive senator. During his six
years of service he made but two
speeches-one testimonial of respect
to the memory of Senator Miller of
California and the other advocating the
passage of bill to settle the claim of
A. II. Emory for testing machine, the
value of which Mr.. Fair had learned
by experience. The bonanza" sena-
tor made no display of his great
wealth while IN Washington. Person
ally he was just plain retiring man,
sensitive to opinion conscious of his
to adapt himself to the
''whirl" of which he became but
small part, very Indifferent to political
am bition, and sincerely glad when his
senatorial career ended. His wife,
Mrs. Theresa Fair, sought a divorce
from him in 1888, after they had been
twenty-one years. Mr.. Fair
did not oppose the divorce and
imicably agreed to settlement which
gave to Mrs. Fair large share of his
estate Mrs. Fair died in 1891. The
children are Mrs Herman Oelrichs of
New York, Miss Virginia Fair and
charlie Fair. Mr.. Fairs Will, flcd for
probate the day of his death left the
bulk of his property TO be divided
among his children, and gave liberal

If WERE DEAD.

IF WERE DEAD.
Dear Love- if l were dead.
And this warm heart whose every pulse is
thine,
Were stilled tor aye, beyond all power of
time,
Or passion e'er to stir its pulse again.
BEYOND all power of loving, past all pain
Asleep within its last low earthly bed
Love, would you grieve for me, if l were dead?
If were gone dear heart,
out of your life, INTO the great beyond,
There where alone eternal peace is found
Where love may blossom, fair as Sharon's
rose,
And music from its very being flows
From all that holds me now dear set apart
would you then grieve for me, O dearest
heart?
