10 BUILD A NEW FORTUNE,
NEARLY EIGHTY YEARS OLD,
FORMER SENATOR STEWART
BEGINS LIFE ANEW.
i akes his Young Bride to Gold Camps
of Nevada and Rears Comfortable
Home~-Still feels the Wine of Youth
At the age of seventy-eight, after
having seen two generations rise and
pass away; a former Governor of Ne-
vada, a mine owner of great wealth,
a United States Senator for eighteen
years, William M. Stewart for loug
known as the “Santa Claus” of the
Senate, Is starting life anew amid the
gold fields of Nevada.
With the virility of youth this robust
and hearty old-timer, says a dispatch
from Rhyolite, Nev., has, with his
young bride started in to make another
million,
Fortune has played prankes with
Senator Stewart; at one time he had
been one of the rich men of that mil-
lionaires’ club the Senate, owning one
of the most magnificent private houses
in Washington. In the earlier days he
extracted huge fees from the law suits |
of western mines; at another time he
has been down on his uppers; again he
has been engaged in a big dairying pro
Jeet Im Virginia: at other times he has
dabbled again in Western mines and
has run an Eastern mule farm.
Retiring from the Senate Inst spring,
he was again once more a4 poor man,
and with his advanced years It was
presumed by the unknowning ones he
would sink into obscurity but like
some others, “Bill Stewart has never
known when he was down and out,
and he Immediately started forth a

purpose to again rebuild his fortunes,
The chances are more than even that
he will although he is nearly four

The Senator expects to reap a pro-
fitable harvest from the various legal
matters arising out of the vast new
gold fields which have been discovered
in Nevada. He is an expert on min
ning law and has at least the preced
ent established of having received In
former years a fortune as a single fee.
Not Crushed by Fallure.
Whatever may be mald about the
Senator politically, his
enemies will not deny that the physi
eal makeup of the man Is marvelous
to the last degree and that his courage
is splendid. He Is of the type that

said the old Senator, “They're not as
used to roughing it as I am.”
A wide veranda stretches around
the entire house, and the grounds are
being graded, fenced and sodded.
There is a pretty stable and a
quaint little chicken house, The Sen-
ator has purchased two hundred fowls
and in his stable, instead of thorough
bred horses he has a large, sleek pair
of mules, which he considers more
appropriate to the country.

Summer begins in May, and at the end

It was by this rule that the fine old

his partisanship, which, though never
