WEALTH OF SENATORS

named is probably entitled to place in
the millionaire class, being credited by
some with fortune of t!sarly $4,000
900. Senator Newlands is aEotheT
whose wealth is counted probably in
the millions, as is that of Joseph w
Bailey, of Texas.
The Croesus of the senate, William
A. Clark. dug his fortune out of the
ground in Montana. He was offered
$150,000 900 for the United Verde
mine He refused. BECAUSE the wealth
is safer in the mine than * would be
in banks or lands. 1t is a bank that
cannot be robbed, and his drafts upon
IL are always honored.
Quite another type Of man Is Ste
phen B. Elkins. of West Virginia, who
lis credited with possessing more
wealth than any other senator with
the exception of Senator Clark. The
Montana senator is acquisitive, but he
did not make his money through this
