DAN DE QUILL IN THE SAN FRANCiSCO CHRONICLE. At the time of the great boom n the shares of the Sierra Nevada and other mines on the Comstock lode some yenrs ago many fortunes wore made and many lost. Street report and busy Mad- am Rumor made the public acquainted with the great losses and the great gains ~—those that rise into the hundreds of thousands—but there were hundreds of small fortunes made and lost of which nothing was said; they wore as the froth and spray that accompany the towering billow. Nodoubt, however, the small dealers lost as much sleop and weroe as much harassed in mind as were any of the millionaires who had money at stake. The pangs and woes of the small fry of the great boom for the most part be- long to unwritten history, as also do their small joys and successos. I shall betray no confidence in bringing to light alittle story of those foverish days of wild speculation with which I became fully ncquainted in every particular at the time, the parties most interested be- ing old Towa friends, John Roberts and Mary, his wife—the subjocts of this sketch—were then resi- dents of Virginia City, Nev., beneath whose streets runs the great Comstock silver lode. John Roberts was a clerk in asmall grocery and provision store on C street, and by the greatest self denial and economy had managed to save $250 in gold coin, When the strike was made in the Sierra Nevada and the stock in that mine began to rise from about $1 shave, John very reasonably Concluded that shares in the Union consolidated mine, immediately adjoin- ing, must also soon make an upward move, and he determined to at once in- vest all his money in the stock of that mine, buyine on the biggest margin he could get. John told his wife what he had con- cluded to do, and what a good and safe investment he thought it. Mrs. Roberts on the death of her mother in the east had received $250, which she was hoard- ing up aguinst u rainy day. She begged her husband to add her money to his savings, and he would then have at his command #500; but John stoutly resisted —she should not risk her money. John and Mary Roberts then had two voung children, @ son and a daughter, and ever since their marriage the one great ambition of the husband had veen to become the owner of a small ranch in California. He thought that with $2,500 or $3,000 he could buy such a place as he vanted, a place on which were some improvements and a good showing of fruit trees and vines. He wasnever tired of picturing this place—his Cali- fornia home—to his wife and to his little ones, trotting the children on his knee in imitation of the gait of the pony they wero to ride. There was always great fun when the pony began “‘bucking” and finally gave the youngsters a tumbie. Union Consolidated and all other stocks of north-end mines soon began to bound upward. In @ short time John Roberts had to his credit at his broker’s the snug little sum of $6,000. His wife thought he would do well to seil, but he made it plain to her that through a cer- tain move he was about to make he was sure of $5,000. When that figure was reached Mvs. Roborts again advised selling. **No,” said John, “‘the rise has now just got fairly under way. Ivery- thing will soon bé booming. Sure enough, in a few days there was 4 tremendous boom. Iverything was red hot. The people were wild. Ladies pawned their diamonds for money to buy stocks; old women poured out the hoards that had long lain in the proverbial stocking: servant girls put in their sa; ings and many miners mortgaged their cottages—even the cautious Chinaman bought stocks. Crowds thronged the streets in front of the offices of the brokers, where dispatches weve posted on bulletin boards every few mi giving reports of sules in'San ¥ in the stock boards and in the street. Policeman with their clubs marched up and down in front of the bulletin boards to open a passage on the sidewalk. In passing these throngs ladies were often observed to linger 10 catch a quotation, or if very much interested would halt on the skirts of the crowd and ask some n quaintance the latest quotation of their pet stock. John Roberts had bought early and at a low figure, He now found he could sell out and clear $10,000. His wife begged him to sell at once, as that sum would buy even a larger ranch than they wanted—would buy three such ranches as they had at first talked of. “No," said John. *I can have $50,000 just s a beggarly $10,000, verybody assures me that the grand boom is yet to come.” My dear,” suid the wifo, **810,000 is a nice round sum. It would make us com- fortable for life if judiciously invested in Catifornia. Half of 1t would buy as large a ranch as we shall ever want. We coula 1,000 or $2,000 in making improve- ments and the remainder could be placed at interest. The long wished for day has come, John, At last, if we will we may sit under our own vine and fig tree. “Blast the vine aund fig vree!” cried John, greatly to his wife’s astonishment “Idont want a vine, neither do I hanker after a dratted old fig tre No. What I am now ufter is a big cattle ranch, and that is what I’ll have. It is in cattle, my dear, that one muy become rich—that one may become a millionaire almost without” knowing how. It is in cattle that big fortunes are made. I'm now figuring on it.” “Better figure on our hittle California ranch, John.” “Bother take the California ranch! It is wonderful, my dear, how cattle count up-—it is almost miraculous how they in- crense and multiply. Besides, my dear, flocks and hevds are the true wealth of man from the eacliest ages. Look at Abraham, Isaae, Jucob and others of the patriarchs of old, with their caltlo on u thousand hills! I wili hava herds | as had Abraham, Isaac, Jucob and others of the patriarchs of old, with their cattle on a thousand hills! 1 will have herdsas had Abraham and Lot, when the number of their cattle was 50 grout that they wero obliged to sepurate ono tuking the right and the other the t hand way. My, dear,” said the wife, “were not some of those patriarchs of old to sit under what you call vine’ and a ‘dratted old fig treo O, that is a mere figurative expres sion, vou know. It wus a figure of speech used in regard to the future—the time when ‘nation shall not lift up the | sword aguinst nation, neither learn war any more.” When that time shall huve arvived Ishall bo ready to huve my chair sot up under a fig tree. But us re- gavds the cattle of the patriavchs, they wore what brought in_good, solid metal, for we read that Abrahum was not only ‘rich in cattle,” but also in ‘silver and | gold.”” “And where will you find a ranch large enough to afford you all the room you will require, my deur? “Well,I'vo had several talks with Buek Bullard and I've about agreed o go down into his country—down to Texas. | Mrs. Roborts, “You know, my dear, [ There I shall have room to spread my herds abroad in the land. Buck {8 one of tha coming cattlo kings of Texas. He says he will show mo theropes. Indood, it T gowith him he will either take me in a8 a partner or sell me his ranch and cattle. Buck says T am just the man for the business—that he wiil guarantee mo success, ' *0, dear!” cried Mrs. Roberts, I don’t want to go to Texas among the cowboys and other outlaws and desper- ate poople. ““Pooh, pooh, Mary! Pooh, my dear! They amount to nothing. Their bark is worse than their bite. Bullard says he and I could stand off a dozen cattle thieves. Dlesides, the stories we hear of outlawry are mmu, manufactured— are mero yarns,” Suill, John, it is a wild region. We shall be unable to find there the con- venionces and cultivation to bo met with in California. The business you pro- poso would necessarily take usto the frontiers, beyond all the comforts of civilization and would——"" “Well, my dear, there's no use in talking. T've made up my mind to settlo inTexas. I'm as good as plodged to Builard. If you refuso to vo with me I can’t help it.” But if you do go you may be sure that T shall not only see you pro- vided with every comfort, but a'so with overy luxury that money ean buy, i shall not ‘be ond of your niggardly kind of millionaires.” “I am sure of that, John., Still, life there for me would only be asort of splendid punishment.” Nonsense. Why, Mary, what are you thinking of? ‘Bless you, my dear, there will be plenty of neighbors in the same business as oursolves at a distance of not more than twenty-five or thirty milos—just a nice ride. ~We can mount our mustangs and fly ovor that distance any morning. before broakfast. We shall skim the prairies.” “Why, John, in all my lite I never saw you mounta horse.” [—[—well, no matter. I shall soon learn the trick of it. T haveit all in theory from Bullard. In less than a month T shall equal a Cossack or a Co- manche. Bullard sa “John, the bure idea of living on a Texas cattle ranch makes mo miserable. A few weeks ago your only thought was of a sunny little home in California, now you will hear of nothing of the kind.” O, well, my dear, then I was only looking for comfort ina small, cheap way—a miere living—but now Iam am- bitious to rise above a mere humble in- dependence. 1 have discovered what I did not then know, which is that I have arenl genius for speculation and for grand enterprises. Now, I have figured upon the profits of the cattle business, and from the $50,000 with which I shall 2o into it T shall be a millionaire in ton years, and this too, muking due allow- ance for cattle lost, stolen and carried off by disease,"” luhn. 1 shall never be content to live in the wilds of Texas. If you take me there 1 shall be as one in exile.” “I hope you don’t mean to have me understand that you will refuse to go witly me to Texas?” eried John oberts, elevating his voice and contracting his oyobrows. “Whither thou goest I will go! “Woll, I am glml to hear it, my dear I was afraid you were about to turn stub born and ruin all my prospects in my new busine: , John, a few wecks ago you thought you' would be happy for lifo could you but get hold of $3,000! - Now, my dear, you talk of millions. You are wild—my dear husband, you uare wild!” “Wild! Pooh! DPshaw! What is $3.0007---what is 810,000, One can do nothing with $10.000! No, I'm not wild —one can do nothing with $10,000 My dear, you know nothing at all about businéss. It takes money to go into bus- iness properly, particularly the cattio business,”’ 0, John—my dear husbandl Why cannot you decide to secure the gold you have? It is better to hold fast tho spar- ow you huve in your hands than tolese it by grasping at'the eaglo in the clouds. My advice is 1o sell all your stocks at once, Sell tomorrow—mulke sure of the $10,000 you have to your credit. This fover heat in speculation cannot last— will not last. All the money among tho people has been drawn into stocks. The big speculators can get no more money by holding up pric Their next move will be to break down everything. Sell, John—let us leave hore and seek uhome —the home we have so often imagined— in Californial” “What!” Give up Toxas and the great Bullard ranch? Giveup millions that are as geod as in my grasp? No, 1 wnnot think of it. You alarm yourself unnecessavily. No woman has nerve for successful speculation. Now, wmy dear, let me tell you that I am on the inside in this speculation—that is about the'same as on the inside. 1 have this very day had pointers from two or thres of the shrewdest stock dealers on the Comstock, and I am just as sure of draw- ing out the $50,000 1 want as though [ already had it in my hands.” “My dear, ave those ‘shrewdest deal- ors’ just the persons one should go to for points?” " [ grasp the insinuation, my dear; but | let mo tell you that the men I speak of are my friends—mon who care nothing fora trifling $10,000—wouldn’t look atit.” Mrs. IRoberts sighod and changed tho subject, bringing hor husband back to | the sad and sober realities of life by in- forming him that the wood was all out, that the milk bill was due and that the landlord had called for his ront. In two or three days after the fore- going conversation stocks began to tumble. Soon there was quite & scaro, then & ular panic. John RRoberts stood nghust bofore the bulletin boards and saw his thousands melting away His friends, the ‘“'shrewdost oporators,’” told him the break was*‘only temporary,” und advised him to ‘“double up” and moneyless man to “‘double up?” As hLe stood pale and siclk smong the groaning and cursing throng, John Roberts felt | that he was already pretty thoroughly “doubled up. Presently John's broker informed him t his margin was very low, do- munded that it be made good, and said that unless he put up more money his stocks must go. John thought of the ! #2590 in his wife’s possession. He disliked asking for it, but finally he hinted to Mary that it might save bim. **The lower levels of the mine said John, “huve never looked better than at present and there is sure to be a rally in the price of shares.” [t wouldn't be sendin g good money | aftor bud, my doar,” said ~ Mrs. Roberts. S1t would bo throwing the rops after the bucicet. Tell your broker to sell you out and save himsolf, " obhn Roberts had not for some days past said & word wbout Texas or m tioned the nume of Bullard. Now he wus thunderstruck. Even his wife seemed to have turned against him; at all evonts she nppoared determined to hold to her Aftor musing for some moments, dur- ing which time he turned white, ved, blue sod nearly as many colors ns are to bo found in the rainbow, John said *Well perhups youare wise to hold on to your 3250, But 1 haven't held on to iyl What! Why, for God's sake, what have you done with ity" “Woell, I may us well out with it,” said wanted you to add my $250 to yours, but you refused to take {t. Woll,an hour after ou left the house I went to the broker you had named and asked him what stocks you had ordered. Ho told me, and I then gave him my $250 and told him to order me the same number of shares on the same terms. [ then told tho broker to keap my investment secret from you and all others, nnd to exactly { follow with my money every move he made with yours. The broker promised all I asked and Taithfully kopt his word all through. “BahlThe iden of you going into | stocks, my denr! Not one woman out of a thousand can make money in stocks! oliowed me! Yes, and a nico pickle woare inl” “My dear, givo me credit for a fow grains of sense and prudonco. Had we sold out when I begged you to do so we would have made $20,000 clear. It is true this sum would not have pur- chased such a cattle ranch in Texan as you had set your heart upon, but i$ would not have been bad to bogin with, Ymu‘ friend Bullard would doubtless hav My dear, am I never to hear the last of Texas nnd that confounded Bullard?" *John, T am glad to hoar you speak in that way. You are returning to your senses. You would now probubly be con- tont to sit undera *blasted vine’ and o ‘dratted old fig tree, since you no longer contemplato skimming the plains after the mannerof the Cossuck and the Com nche?” Ah Mary! Mary, my wife, you har- row my very soul! Oid Nick himself must have set me after that cattle ranch. I longed for it as Sancho Panza longed for his island!” “I fear, John, that you still desire ta mount the wild mustang?” **No, Mary, I am also well of that dis- ease. But'why will you still bring up things of which I raved in my late deli- rium? You torture me; yes, you ruck my very vitals!” *John, I'll say no more.” “*Right, Mar let us have no more about Tex fig trees in Cali We are now without a penny. We must anew set foot to the bottom round of the ladder.” After all, John, I am sorry that you will not hear of the vine and fig tree. I agreed to go with you to your Toxas cat- tle ranch in the event of your sceuringit, but I fear that you will refuse to nccom= pany me to my California ranch, you have such a répugnance to things so tamo s are vines and fig trees.” “It is not atall like you to talk so, Mary. I am sure I donot know what you mean by it, but I can assure you thut you worry me most confoundedly “Well, T shall worry you no ' longer John, T'here is one littlo point in con- nection with my stock deal in regard to which I have notinformed you. When I told the broker to follow you in every move you made, I also told him that should my venture prosper, I would myself come to him and tell him when to sell for me. I went on the very next day after that on which I had tried in vain to induce you to sell, and ordered all my stocks sold. I got top figures, and, clear of all _expenses, now have #10,000 lying at Wells, Fargo & Co's. subject to my order, 08 you may sce from this certificate of deposit,” and, as she spoke, Mrs. Roborts dvew from her bosom a paper and handed it to her hus- band. A single glance sufficed to show John Roberts that the paper was indeed a cortificate of deposit for $10,000.**Mary,” cried John, bounding to his feet and taking his wife in his arms, “Mavy, I'm the fool of the family! You have all the se there is about this house!” no, John; it came out as it all did just. bocauso my hoart was 5o sot upon the home in California you had so often pictured. I felt that I did not care for any money in the world moro than would secure that. I would have sold at 5,000, only thatstock went up to $10,000 almost befor © 1 could get my breath.” “Ah, Mary, if you had only told me that you had $10,000 to your creditl Then we would both have sold and would now have $20,000 instead of $10,000. But no womun ever can thor- oughly understand stock speculation— that is, all the ins and outs of it, I would suy.” Ah! John, T thought of telling you— tried, indeed, to puve the way to it—but 1s00n saw that in your then wild condi- tion you would mevely cry out that only 330,000 were Incking to compuss the pur- chase of the Texas cattle ranch, and in your rerness would at once take overything into your own hands.” Too true, Mary, for Iam the fool of the family. I take a back seat. I should have lost every dollar in pursuit of that | cattle ranch.” When a mun deals in stocks he should stick to stocks—not allow himself to become besotted with notions of Texas cattle ranches. Con- ¢ found that fellow Bullard.” 4 “‘Amen, John—amen.” In less then two months Mrs, Roberts had her ranch in California—*‘a second garden of the Hesperides,” us she callod it—and sho got it for the round sum of $5,000, lonving $5,000, which was dis- posed of mueh as indicated in her orig nal programm As for John Roberts, he had the last lingaring symptom of his Texas craze bounced out of his body before he had been on the ranch amonth, He pur- chused of w retiring vaquere a second- | hand rig- panish spurs and all then made his first ossay us n cowhoy, mounted upon a plow horse, for a dash around his barnyard after an old cow.

Tho vesult was aftor a sovies of astonishing jolts he wuy landed head first up to his” shoulders in @ compost heap. After John had considered this ex- ploitin all ngs he suid to his wife: “*Mary, my dear, [ can now see how at the costof ¥1 I might have saved veduce his avorage.” Bub how was w | 810,000 Had [ hired n horso when up at Virginin City foratreip around a single block I should have never taken the Texas eattle fever.” “But with the lessons of Buliard?

I—I—that is, he bout me out of u few dollars. Why, [ have found that the fellow never owned a cattle ranch in Texns; and further, he was run out of the country for cattle-stoaling.” That same day John told his hired mon that they would thenceforward have sole aud full charge of all the horses on the ranch, Next he made his | man a present of his vaquero outfit.
