What Driscoll will do with his wealth
when he comes 10 die is a matter OF
speculation. It is not known that he
has any near relatives, although some
kindred rather remote will doubtless ap-
pear when the estate gets into the
courts for administration. At any rate
there IS a prospect for a rich harvest

and he draws about $4,000 a year divi-

capital to deal with in mining on his
