Wealthy Irish miner Driscoll lives frugal Kingman bachelor life
Patrick Driscoll, owner of four mines in Chloride valley Arizona and holder of Santa Fe railroad stock, is reputed worth 800000 to 900000 dollars. He lives in a cabin near Kingman, spends under 80 dollars monthly, helps miners, and funds a secret charitable bank account. He traveled from Ireland in 1853 and built wealth in Calico before Arizona. The tale contrasts his wealth with austere habits and odd generosity. a Chicago bridewell incident and a Chicago World’s Fair postponement due to anti silver coinage are noted.
