an In America-or in the
world-may not be Mrs. Hetty
Green. The greatest land-own.
or in America may not be one
of the Astors. These are the
conclusions that probably would be
reached IL the Green and the Astor
possessions could be valued correctly
and the figures compared with those
which would represent the vast wealth
of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Jones of New
York and Of Cold Spring Harbor, L. L.
Further than that, the social crown
Of America, long held by the Astors by
reason of their wealth. would belong to
Mrs. Jones IL she chose to claim it, for
her fortune is doubtless greater and
her lineage in this country runs CEN
fury further back. She is related also
far and near, to nearly every one of
the great families in New York and
New England whose names are written
large on the pages of American history
from the days Of the Colonial wars to
now.
Probably no one, not even Mrs.
Jones herself, could say accurately
how great is her fortune. 1t is mostly
in land. She acknowledges that she
owns and pays taxes on land in every
school district on Long Island. in
nearly every county in New York
state and in every state in the union
except Texas. The property immedi-

at Cold Spring Harbor, where she
lives in summer, is worth millions of
dollars.

wife's. Then there is the Jones estate,
which is owned by some 25 heirs,
which also runs up into scores OF mil

her, and it is said to be her ambition
to own property in every city in the

granted Maj. Jones, in 1890, as a com

immensely profitable while 1t did. 1t

In those days.
