no diference in carrying out the present plans

Mackay for the last ten years had made regu-
lar yearly visits to California to personally look
after his large property interests. He was not
mere when his old partner. Flood, was inveigled
INTO trying TO corner the wheat of the world
and dropped over S10,OO0,Oo0 in the attempt
The nature of this wheat deal nearly wrecked
the Nevada Bank, in which Flood, Fair and
Mackay were chief stockholders. Fair came to
the rescue promptly. but Mr.. Mackay was hugely
disgusted over the loss. and this probably in
duced him TO withdraw from the bank soon
after Now none of the original Bonanza capt.

Mr.. Mackay had some unpleasant Incidents in
several of his visits TO the coast. In 1893 he
was shot and dangerously wounded by William
{. Ripley, crank. who had lost money in min
ing stocks and held Mr.. Mackay personally
sponsible. Mr.. Mackay pulled through all right,
but soon after he was attacked with appendicitis
and came very near to death. Two doctors who
attended him sent in bills, for 81. 500 and the
other for 5000 MT. Mackay thought these ex-
cessive and the case came into court, but the
doctors never allowed II to be tried, settling for
5000 to be divided between them.
