Matrimonial- Prizes
«' I hear," says • Figaro,' '• a great deal about the wealth of tbe Silver Kings of Nevada and the Pacific Slope. Ex-Gorerhor Sandford is the richest of them. His yearly income is equal to the interest on 75,000,000 do!. The widow of the late Mark Hopkins is worth 30 ;000,000dol. She, however, does not intend to marry again. A possible matrimonial prize is Miss Jennie Flood. She, was engaged to a son of General Grant, but there was an estrangement. She had 2,500,000d0l as a present outright from her father the Bonanza, King, and she will inherit ten times as much, Hattie Crocker, whose engagement to Lord Beaumont was erroneously announced the other, day, is prospectively the riches heiress m the West. She will probably have not less than 25,000,000(101. The wealth of Mackay, Fain, Bell, Jones, and Sherwood has greatly declined. They have not taken any more. ont of their mines on tbe Comstock Lode for three years; and the shores they once held at 500dol, and m one case at 2,500d0l per share of lOOdol, are of no value." . .■•"•:-
