"ZEB" WILLIAM KENDALL, FROM RAGGED MINER TO MILLIONAIRE [Interview: November 10. 1992 with his son] about 1920, he got interested in speculating in the Comstock Lode mining stocks and bought a heavy position in the company-the old big bonanza firm of the Con Virginia Mining Company [Consolidated Virginia]. Apparently, he got suckered into buying that stock, because after he achieved control of the company, he found out the rumor of rich ore down there that they had supposedly discovered was very insignificant. But he was stuck with the stock, and he stayed with the company for the rest of his life. He made himself president of the company, since he controlled it, and was president of the Con Virginia Mining Company from 1920 to his death in 1954. Green print on white. Cancelled.
