SEEMS MOST FABULOUS SUM
Fortune Of the RothschlIds Estimated
at Two BlIIlon-own Property
In All Countries.

A French statistician has Just com.
pleted figures which, he asserts, show
the fortune of the famous house of
Rothschild. The entire fortune is es-
timated at ten milliards of francs. A
milliard IL billion, so that in dol.
lars the Rothschild fortune equals
$4,000. 100000
Placed at 4 per cent the Rothschild
fortune would produce an annual rev.
enue of $S0,O0O.OOO. But this sum is
far from being a reality. as the great
part of the Rothschild riches is in
property. In Lancashire they own
immense thread mills. wh.e in Ger
many they possess numerous coal
mines with a capacity Of millions Of
tons per annum. In Brazil the Roths-
childs own immense rubber forests,
and in Persia factories where the
most beautiful carpets in the world
are made.
In Spain there are numerous zinc
and lead mines operated by the Roths-
childs. In South Africa also the Roths-
childs own mines. The Roths-
childs, in addition, own large forests
in Siberia, while in Australia entire
cities are their property. They also
own large quantities Of real estate in
different European capitals.

people to know that was safe-the

smiled. They have tried to surprise

His eyes rested lovingly on tho two
women who were his nearest and
dearest.
