The two, father and son, went to Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1840, and at the breaking out of the war with Mexico in 1846, entered the United States army, Dr. Zabriskie as surgeon with the rank of colonel, and the son as lieutenant. At the close of the war they went to California, landing at San Francisco on July 4, 1849. There they again engaged in the defence of good citizenship and became an active member of the famous vigilance committee.

When President Lincoln called for volunteers, Elias B. Zabriskie organized what was known as the Nevada Battalion of Cavalry, which he recruited for service in the Union army. The Indian troubles changed the direction of the recruits, and he engaged in the Indian war. In this active service his father was unable to take part on account of advanced age, but he was placed on the Lincoln and Hamlin presi- dential ticket as elector-at-large for Nevada, and was the first presidential elector from that state.

He also was early connected with the development of the borate deposits of the Pacific coast, extending his investigation of those important deposits to the western coast of the continent in the United States and South America. He was manager for the Pacific Coast Borax Company, located at Columbus, Nevada, about 1885, and about the same time became extensively interested in railroads and banking institutions in Nevada.

4, 1875. He received a public school education in his native city, and entered the machine shops of J. C. Todd in Paterson, where he became a machinist and was taken from the shops to the office, where he became assistant to the proprietor, and on the resignation of the superintendent succeeded to that position ; finally succeeding Mr. Todd. In order to en- large the plant and meet the increasing volume of business Mr. Zabriskie offered an interest to Mr. Finigan, knowing his value as superin- tendent, and the firm of Finigan Zabriskie Company was the result.
