FOUNDER GREAT ESTATE WAS
DISAPPOINTED AND BROKE
WHEN MIRACLE CAME
In a recent issue of the Denver
Mining Record comment was print
ed which was made by Arthur Bris
bane, describing the state of Mon
|tana and particularly the Ana con -
|da mines around Butte. Brisbane
|stated that George Hearst was in
that part of the country over a cen
tury ago. He said that it was a pro
fitable ride that Hearst took across
the Rockies. The story of his Com
stock adventure, which appeared in
Colliery Engineer of June, 1891,
a newspaper man that he regarded
reads as follows:
The Tate Senator Hearst once told
his possession of an immense for
tune as nothing less than a miracle.
“I was 49 years old”, he said,
“when the row made over the dis
covery of the Comstock silver mines
set the whole coast afire. I had been
disappointed at my work, and
found myself pretty near broke. I
had enough to buy a horse and the
outfit, and started over the moun
tains from Calif., with the boys.
I wasn’t feeling happy, because I’d
worked and struggled and speculat
ed a good many years, and it struck
me as rough that a man of
my age should have to start, as
I did then, like a young fellow.
“There were about 10 or 12 of us
in the party; as I was blue they
eft me alone rather. My mustang
being worn down, I stopped on the
trail, put my arm thru the bridle
and picked out a rock to sit on. The
rest of the boys rode on, but I sat
there. There wasn’t any reason why
I should particularly; only I did.
The whip I had w-as a willow switch
I'd pulled from a tree as I rode
along. As I sat there I switched the
dust of the trail and thot, shall
I go on with them or shall I go
back? I switched and switched and
thought and thought. I sav? behind
me all the chances I’d taken and
lost on, and felt old and used up
and no good. My sense told me to
turn back and make my fight
where I was known. There was
safety in that anyway.
“But I’d been camping night
after night with the boys ahead of
me, and it made me lonesome to
think of parting company with
them. So after switching and
switching the dust on the trail, and
feeling weak and human because I
yielded, I mounted my horse and
road on after the party. I got to the
