IN any way the disposition of Mr.. Hunt
ington's property.
Interest in Mr.. Huntington's property
and how 1t will be divided has reached an
accurate stage. 1t is generally conceded

thirty odd corporations in which he was
either an officer or a director. and in the

resented and his immediate real and per-
sonal estate amount to not less than s2o,-

the Huntington fortune at 800, COZ, 600, on the

and on Racquette lake, Mr.. H%untingtons
real estate was worth not less than s.. 5C0,-
eco. and at San Francisco he had property
worth about 81, de,O00. His various parcels
of improved and unimproved property in
several states of the Union are stimate
to be worth from 100000 to 81, 800, GOO.
These, estimates. which are regarded as eN-
tremely conservative, place Nh. Hunting
tons fortune at more than $780, 0. nGJ.
AS to its disposition, it is generally be-
ieved that the major interests were last
