By Dr. Roger D. McGrath tells their story. Grinding poverty, the Great Famine and other lesser famines, and thousands of evictions, caused millions of Irish to immigrate to America during the 19th century. A good number of these Irish found their way onto the frontier, especially the mining frontiers. Wherever there was a to a new strike, the Irish were sure to be on board. They were destined to become partners and to be known worldwide as the Silver Kings. John W. Mackay was The Silver Kings engineering genius of the Silver Kings. One of four children, he was born in Dublin in and immigrated with his family to New York in He reached The Silver Kings California gold fields in ; by then he was a The Silver Kings figure — tall, lean and muscular, ruddy-faced, blue-eyed, and dark-haired. He enjoyed hard physical work and mining camp life. He had almost no formal education and had stuttered badly when he was young, but he was blessed with extraordinary intelligence. Nothing escaped his keen mind and no engineering problem was beyond him. He could explode with rage, but he usually kept his temper in check. For relaxation he loved music and drama. James G. Fair was self-serving and egotistical. However, he The Silver Kings a mine superintendent without peer and a shrewd financier. He had enormous energy, a trenchant mind, and a natural aptitude for all things mechanical. He regularly took advantage of the latest innovations in mining machinery. Born in Ireland inhe immigrated with his family to Illinois during the early s and joined the rush to The Silver Kings in Unlike his name, Fair had brown eyes, a dark complexion, and wavy black hair. He was handsome, powerfully built, and had a way with words. William S. His size, posture, and hair gave him a dignified appearance. Unlike his partners, he was soft-spoken and mild-mannered with an avuncular, kindly quality about him. He was the least forceful of the Silver Kings but his gregarious and genial nature made him the most popular. Although he did not carry his share of responsibilities in the partnership, he contributed more than he was usually given credit for. Born in Ireland in he was brought to New York as a small child and arrived in California in James C. Flood was the only Silver King not to have been born in Ireland. He was born in New York inthe son of Irish immigrants. In he sailed around the Horn to California. Below medium height, Flood had a ruddy complexion, a short neck and massive shoulders. He was so impressively muscled that strangers The Silver Kings thought he must be a gymnast or wrestler. He had a quick wit, a shrewd mind, a volatile temper, and a powerful The Silver Kings to succeed. The Silver Kings was a genius in trading stocks and finance. Both lost their businesses, though, in the Depression of They then joined forces and opened a saloon. He was right and their saloon thrived. Virginia City, Nevada, sprang up as a result of the discovery. Flood proved to have uncanny ability in stock trading. In they opened their stock-brokerage office in San Francisco. Meanwhile, Mackay and Fair had been prospecting in California and Nevada. By the time they reached the Great Divide, above Virginia City, they were nearly broke, having only a cent piece between them. Mackay worked as a pick-and-shovel miner for four dollars a day, then as a timber man The Silver Kings six. Soon he developed his own business, excavating and fortifying tunnels. Much of The Silver Kings pay was in the form of stock certificates. Most of these proved worthless but a few profitable ones gave him enough money to buy the Kentuck, a mine whose ore had supposedly been exhausted. During the next several years the Kentuck paid over a million dollars in dividends. He now had considerably more than that, but his appetite had only been whetted for new adventures and enterprises. James Fair arrived in Virginia City in after a number of successful mining ventures in California. Less than a year after his arrival he was made superintendent of the Ophir, one of the true bonanza mines of the Comstock Lode. The famous partnership was now in place. The ring was headed by William C. Sharon was the most hated man on the Comstock. He was The Silver Kings cold, embittered and treacherous financier who was wreaking vengeance on Virginia City businessmen and speculators for the loss of his own fortune in By working with Ralston he had regained far more than he had lost, but his desire for vengeance was insatiable. Ever shrewd and calculating, Sharon made loans through the Bank of California to mines on the Comstock, and then delighted in foreclosing on them when harsh repayment schedules were not met. Sharon looked the part of the ruthless scoundrel. He had black, beady eyes, a jet-black mustache, and an expressionless face that a professional gambler might envy. He wore a long, black frock coat and a big, black hat. Sharon was ecstatic. He gleefully The Silver Kings to Ralston that the Irishmen had been taken. Nonetheless, the Irishmen had a hunch that if they cut a new tunnel at a deeper level they would hit a vein of ore. Sharon and Ralston, and the Ring, laughed The Silver Kings. Then one day Mackay and Fair, who were supervising the actual work in the mine, hit a delicately The Silver Kings vein of ore. They tried to follow it but it disappeared. Then they found The Silver Kings again, and again it disappeared. Then they found it once again and this time the vein began to widen; to more than a foot, then to several feet, to a half-dozen feet, to twelve feet. Meanwhile, the deeper the new tunnel was sunk in the Consolidated Virginia the wider the vein became. At the 1,foot level the vein was more than 50 feet wide. The ore was so rich that waste rock had to be added to it in order to put it through The Silver Kings stamp mill. By the Silver Kings had become fantastically wealthy. The Silver Kings all lived riotously well and died with multi-million-dollar estates. There he conversed with old friends and played endless games of poker. At his elbow he always kept a tall stack of silver dollars. James Flood bought San Francisco real estate, erected numerous buildings, funded new business ventures, and established the Nevada Bank, which later merged with Wells Fargo. He and his wife, the former Mary Leary of County Wexford, raised their children on a fabulous acre estate at Menlo Park. James Fair was elected to the U. Senate from Nevada. Although he was faithful in his attendance during the first session, soon, being a man of action, he grew bored with tiresome Senate deliberations and thereafter was mostly absent. He apparently had plenty of time to pursue women. At the time it was said to have been the largest divorce settlement ever awarded. Fair continued his wild ways, and upon his death a half-dozen women who hoped to share The Silver Kings his estate came forward The Silver Kings claimed to have been wives or mistresses. He made more millions. He could never say no to a friend or even a casual acquaintance. During a slow period on the Comstock, Mackay secretly paid a Virginia City grocer to supply provisions to any miner out of work. Mackay remained vigorous and The Silver Kings nearly until the day he died. While he lived in Virginia City, he boxed nightly at the local gymnasium. One of those who learned to box there was an The Silver Kings Irishman, James J. Sullivan, in In his 60s Mackay could still pin nearly any The Silver Kings he met in arm wrestling. At 60 he pummeled a wealthy Englishman who had offended him. Mackay hated pretense and artificial social distinctions. In England and France, where his wife visited frequently, Mackay loved to play the role of the uncouth miner from the American West, especially when being entertained by English nobility who hoped that some of this wealth would rub off. He took malicious pleasure in recounting his boyhood in Ireland where the English had insured that there was seldom enough to eat. While the English sycophants surrounding him ordered French delicacies, Mackay, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, ordered corned beef and cabbage without batting an eye.
