In the twent'es He cme over land to California In 1SG1 with about $100 In his pocket He went Into the mines as soon as he got to CaJIfornh , sometimes handling the pick for others for wag s anil sometimes working h s own claims In this way ho teen learned all about m'nes ' and ho eventually became the best judge of mines In the west It was not long before he made a strike which netted him $15,000 Ho soon lost this , and went to work again for wages When the Comstock was dis covered in Nevada Hearst was still workIng - Ing In the mints of California He had al ready become known as an expert miner Some of the Comstock gold was brought to him and his opinion was asked as to It He assayed It and the result was that he decided to go to Nevada and look at It. He had some money saved This he took with him , and he bought a good many fee ! In several locations along the lode lie be gan to mine , and he sent several mule loads of ore to San Francisco At this time there were no mills neir the Comstock and- these loads brought him $60,000 The Comstock was then thought to be a goli mine , but It turned out 55 per cent of gok and the remainder of the ore was silver Well , Hearst remained here for Severn years and then came back to San Fran claco with $600000 or $700000 ahead He Invested this In real estate and mines Ih bought a big ranch at San Luis Oblspo which contained 60,000 acres , which cos him $40,000 , and made other good Invest ments " GEORGE HEARST'S MARRIAGE "Tim was about 1659 He had now been away from home about eight years and his life had been so busy that ha had lurdl ) written back to his people to tell them how he was getting alone. It was to full ot ups ind downs that lie said nothing about his mslness operitions and the family did not tnow whether he was poor or rich About SOO he put his business In the hands of in agent and went back to Missouri tolst ils mother The Hearsts were simple coun- r > people In Missouri and whc-n he came lack home bringing some presents with him t was thought by them that he might pos- slbl > bo worth as much as $10.000 During i & etay there was a picnic Fomo d stance rom the place where they were living and Hearst Invited twentj or thirty people to ; o with him To the horror of his mother ie hired n special car for the occasion She omoii'tratcd with him upon his extrava- ; uico but he told her he- could stand It , and ie aftrcward shovcd her how rich he really was It was dnr ng this visit that he met ils future wife Miss I'hoche Apperson She Ived near b > Ho fell in love w'th ' her and iskc.l her to iriarr > him He did not say lie was rich nor did he tell her parents of his Inancial blinding Thej decidedly objected to the niitch They thought tli it Cal fornla was about as far off as Kamchatka , and they forlndo I'hocbo to have un > thng toile ilo with linn. Mi's I'hocbe however w is In love with George Hearst and the result was a runaway match Even after his marriage he did not tell his wife much about his tIchcs She had the Idea tlat he was only ! well-to-do that would moderate ) - - and they live much like the families about them In Missouri Sh" * expected to do her own cookIng - Ing , especially after she had a kcd Hearst is to the prices of servants and was told that the poorest of them In California got from $40 to $ JO a month She was of course gieatly surprised when she arrived In Cnll- foinla and found herself the wife of a mil lionaire She was however , well fitted for the position She was well educated when she left Mlbsourl , but she kept up her studies after her marrlige She now speaks several languages and Is well up In art. She made George Hearst a tplendld wife Her business judgment Is excellent nnd she Is amply able to manage her vast estate She ii > now llv Ing In Washington SOME OF HEARSTS SPECULATIONS "Few of the California millionaires had more ups and downs thati George Hearst , " continued General Greatliouse. "When he re turned from this Missouri trip he found that his agent had made bad Investments during his absence , and that he was about $100,000 out The Comstock property had gone down , and the most of Ihe balance of his money was In real estate He went again Into the mines , bujlng and Belling For a time he made but little He was just about able to pa ) his taxes and keep up his rent So ho ran on unlil about 1S71 when ho arranged with Haggln and Tevls to go Into partnership with them and to buy mines They wera to put up the money , and ho was to put In his experience and judgment as a mi nine expert. The ) relied principally upon him In this matter and the result was that th y made a vast amount together I have Known nearly every successful miner In the UnlteO States , " continued General Qreathouse , "am ! I have met all of tha prominent mlnlg ex perts I don't believe there was ever a man In the United States who approaches George Hearst In his knowledge of mines and mining. He seemed totbo born for the business , and was an Intuitive geollgist and metallurgist He know bow to work a in I no , and the mines which ho reporter upon after examination as good seldom turned out otherwise. I knov of Instances In which he has lost large sums of money In mines On ono mine he lost $400,000 , amen on another he lost $450000 , but thesu losses were during his absence , and from Im proper working HOW HEARST JUDGED MINES "I remember a curious Instance of Hearst's mining Judgment , " General Greathoiibe went on "It was while ho wan lu Nevada operat ing a mine which he told to an English com pany for a good , round price. Englishmen had sent out expert ! to the United States to look Into the property These experts hai found $450,000 on the dump , and the prospects were good They offered a good price for the mine Hearst and his party had already cleared $200,000 out ot the mine , and tha others were much surprised when he ad vised the acceptance of tt.e English propo sition The } did accept It however , and the Englishmen at once went to work to build the finest mill In the country I was much surprised at the sale , and I asked Heirst why he had advised It He replied that he had noted In the side of the mountain half a rnllo below the mine a rock strata nnlng upward Into the hill , and he had concluded that if this strata continued as far as the mine It would cut off the ore If not , the mine would be one of the greatest In the country It seemed to Mm , however , that the chances were against It , and he advised the sale A short time after this the miners Uruck this strati The mine plaed out nnd the English lost their money THE LITTLE EMMA MINE "Another Instance of Hearst's Judgment , " General Greathouse continued , "was shown In the Little Emma mine This was the mine that created Mich a sensation In England , where Hob Schenck and others placed Its Mock to the amount of $12000000 It was not far from Salt Like City , and I was with Henst at the fine he and a lot of English experts were looking at It The English exports slid It was the greatest mine In the world , and some of them came nearly every night into Hearst's room to try and get his opinion upon It He said but llttlo at first , but one night I heard him advise one of the Englishmen to go clew and bo careful as to his report upon It The expert , however , sid ! ho was satis fied tint It was a great mine , nnd he so leported. The result was tint It was cap italized for a vast sum and the stock holders cxp ° cted to get from $2"i 000 000 to $ riO,000,000 of ore out of it Hearst then lold mo that he thought the mine was like a turnip turned ups de down. He sild It would probably be found to be only a pocket or a largo lump of ore. and that It would not last The English experts thought they had a mountain filled with ore The result turned out Just as Hearst predicted They were working on the top of the turnip They soon got to the bottom , and the result was that thousands were ruined. Deb Schenck was probably honest In hlb connec tion with this mine , and I am told that ho made nothing out of It Ho was ono of the directors of the mine , and as such ho got $25 for every meeting ho attended I doubt whether he received any more than this " As General Greathouse said th's ' the clock struck ont > The. Corean servants were asleep "General" Pak , hla Interpreter , was swinging In his chair , and his guttural grunts awoke us to the fact that wo were not In Washington nor San Francisco , but moro than 5,000 miles away from the United States on the east coast of Asia The old baying that the best place to hear news of ) our own homo IB to get away from It came to my mind and In another letter I may tell ) ou of some other queer American romances which I heard In the far east.
