James C. Flood
(1826-1889)

     Made a fortune in silver-mining stocks. Flood invested on the basis of advice from the clientele of the saloon he co-owned, which was located near the Mining Exchange. By the early 18 70s, Flood had a monthly income of a half million dollars. His mine struck one of the world's richest veins of silver. A founder of the Nevada Bank (a predecessor of today's Wells Fargo Bank), his Nob Hill mansion now houses the Pacific-Union Club.
