May 4, 1874.John Mackay's was once the most beloved rags-to-riches story in America. A penniless Irish immigrant brought to New York City as a child, he'd risen from the infamous Five Points, the nation's most notorious slum. When Mackay sailed from New York en route to California in 1851, he had no name, no money, and not a single influential friend on earth. He'd possessed nothing but strong arms, a clear head, and a legendary capacity for hard work. In the eyes of the times, his road to riches had made no man poorer, and few begrudged him his success.At the peak of the Comstock's "Bonanza Times" in 1876, John Mackay's cash income?from the dividends of the two bonanza mines alone?exceeded $450,000 per month. The only people in the world with a monthly cash income anywhere comparable were Mackay's three junior partners. Their company, The Bonanza Firm, with an aggregate cash income running between $1.2 and $1.5 million per month, was, according to the Spirit of the Times, "The wealthiest firm in America and prospectively the richest in the world." The income and expenditures of the four-person firm exceeded those of half the states in the Union.
