And he had been offered a fair holding in this land twenty thousand acres under fence on a long-term lease; a half-interest in the cattle and their increase. He would be his own man, with a voice in the management and sale of the stock. A year or two and he could afford to marry if Dorothy would have him. He thought she would. And to keep in good health she must always live in the West.
Queer stories are told of how during that winter almost bankrupt grocers grubstaked prospectors with bacon and flour and received a half-interest in a mine that yielded five or six hundred dollars a day in nuggets. But for one who found a mine a thousand found nothing. The sensations of the lucky one beggared description.
My uncle, D. K. Underwood, is a practical mining man of nearly thirty years' experience, and what he doesn't know about mines and mining isn't worth knowing. He's interested in a dozen or so of the best mines in the State, but I don't think he would exchange his half-interest in the Bird Mine for all his other holdings put together.
Sampey, grown surprisingly bold and self-reliant, named his terms to Castellani a half-interest in the business and Castellani, swear and bully and bluster as he might, must accept. This made Sampey a rich man at once.
It was in the following year that Lord Beaconsfield took advantage of a financial crisis in Turkey, and a financial stringency in Egypt, to purchase of the Khedive his half-interest in the Suez Canal for the sum of $20,000,000, which gave to England the ownership of nearly nine-tenths of that important link in the waterway leading direct to her empire in India.
Did you ever see such a beauty? Don't disturb him. Oh, do be careful!" But Esther looked with only half-interest at the gorgeous insect; then, turning away a little impatiently, "I don't know how you can be out here so much and not try to make it a little tidier," she said vexedly. "I only wish I had a machine, or shears or something, and more time, and I would do something to it."
In 1827 the Astor hand reached up to this then remote section, William B. Astor purchasing a half-interest, including Fifth Avenue from Thirty-second to Thirty-fifth, for twenty thousand five hundred dollars.
"Still, a half-interest seems pretty large for a man with no more capital in the business than he has," said Darrell, determined to make no personal reference to Walcott. "He has put in fifty thousand additional since he came in," Mr. Underwood replied. Darrell whistled softly. "Oh, he has money all right; I'm satisfied of that.
"A million that sounds familiar!" and she laughed in remembrance of her tilt with Polly. Gresham swallowed three separate and very distinct times. "A half-interest in that million is mine," he complained. "You can not turn over your share to an absurd charity without also throwing mine away. It is not fair." "Fair?" repeated Constance.
I was not pleased with its business management, and did not want to leave it as the property of my family, not knowing what trouble it might give nor what expense it might involve them in. And without a change in management, I knew it could never be of any profit. I wrote for Bro. Srygley to come, and I sold him my remaining half-interest.
