description: "James Graham Fair was an American mining engineer and businessman. His investments in silver mines in Nevada made him a millionaire, and he was one of the famous \"silver kings\" who became wealthy on the Comstock Lode. Fair later became a real estate investor and railroad builder in California. In 1881, he was elected a United States Senator from Nevada. Nearly all other major so-called robber barons were Protestants while Fair himself died a Roman Catholic though born into poverty to Anglican parents."
