If money be power, says the Whitehal Review, what a force is J. W. Mackay, who thirty years since was a penniless boy in Ireland. Twenty years ago he travelled through the United States as a speculative salesman, and sixteen years ago he was a bankrupt. To-day, at the age of forty-five, Mr Mackay owns three-eights of the great Bonanza, the richest silver mine that has ever been discovered, aud draws out of .Nevada a yearly income of £2,750,000, which is the intei.est at 5 per cent, on a capital of £55000,000. Mr Mackay'a fortune increases £5 every minute. The question is what will he do with it ? Or, perhaps, it would be more cautious to ask, what will it do with him ? Fortunes in the Far West often vanish as rapidly as they are acquired. Mr Mackay has a magnificent hotel in Paris, where his family resides, while he passes most of his time in the neighborhood of his vast interests. Mr and Mrs Mackay passed the summer at Trouville, in the charming Villa Cordier which stands on the hill above the town, and overlooks the sea.
