Men who will meet Clarence H. Mackay in

many of his fathers qualities Like his father
he will not allow talebearers to destroy his good
opinion of friends. He will not believe i'll re-
ports until ne has convinced himself of their
truth and, like his father he will brook no in
civility. John w. Mackay would forgive a man
who got drunk or who gave way to temptation
and,
he was severe with the who in the per
fOrmance Of his duties forgot himself and be
came discourteous or abusive without cause
Like his father, also. he is a deVout Catholic

while ii has been VaTiously estimated at from
SJOOOOOUU to S6O,o0o,ooO. some persons who

high SS0, 900 900 and contend that John "
Mackay, despite his great business capacity and
his thorough knowledge of the enterprises with
which he was connected. did not know within
S2OWbW)O how much he was worth. He was so
methOdical and had the uncertainty of life so
constantly before MN that ne left his affairs
IN perfect order and even without his directing
hand everything Will go on in the Mackay con-
Germs just though ne were stlI conducting
them.
Among the larger concerns of which Clarence
III. Mackay will become the head are the Mac
kay-Bennett Gable Company. the Postal TeIe-
graph Company and the Pacific Commercial Ga bile
Company. The large sugar refinery at Yonkers
the Canadian Pacific Railway. the Southern Pa
Clfc Railroad and the White Knob Copper Com
pany are among the corporations in which he
Will be a prominent figure. Their are also sew
eral large companies in the new gold fields i'm
the klOndike in which much Mackay capital is
invested, besides real estate in California and
other Western States
John w Mackay was always proud of his
good name, and in this respect the younger man
also resembles his father, for whom he always
showed great love and affection
