Donna Cousino's Wealth.
The richest woman of South America is a good business woman. She is Donna Isadore Cousino, of Santiago, Chili. She got a big fortune from her father and married another. Her husband died, and she has now millions of acres of land, millions of money, hundreds of thousands of cattle, coal, copper and silver mines, a railroad and a fleet of iron steamships. She has an income of several millions a year, and her coal mines bring her in $50,000 a month. She owns a town of 7,000 people, and pays out $100,000 a month in wages. She has superintendents for all her establishments and she receives weekly reports from them. She is sharp at driving a bargain, and, while she is very generous, she requires a strict account of every dollar made and spent upon her estate. She is still under 50 and declares she will never marry again. She understands fortune-hunters and fortune hunting, and is satisfied to remain as she is. Cor. Buffalo News.
