The amount paid under Claims by death was .£1.00,83, being the smalleet since 1860, whilst the. expenses of manag,mr.ut and all other outgoings wore even less than fur many years past. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. Tho whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to nn ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall ho absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time bo withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likew!so commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issned on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging - , foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances —a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies, The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of 4215,000 a year_ Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

STEELE, Secretary. Mazeppa, close by, is an established and growing town ; the city of Swansea has commenced, and Eberhardt has so far risen that a man who invested $750 in it had j ist sold his interest for $B,OOO. To understand the present state of affairs in "Treasure City, the reader iuu2t imag'ne a cod gregation of unmitigated ruffians, without any r; - straining camer but fear, each armed, and with Ilia pistol loaded in his pocket, his bowie knife at hand. Picture such an assemblage located on a mine; drunkards, gamblers, thieves, extortioners, each a law unto himself, and kept in check only by the pistol of his neighbour. An Act has been passed creating White Pine a County ; the number of law abiding citizens will gradually increase, who act together, while the ruffians are a rope of sand ; Vigilance Committees will be established, and under the leadership of some brave and energetic man Treasure City may soon hope to be an orderly town. The mountain on which it stands is des scribed as similar in formation to Potosi. Two years ago a starving Indian brought to some miners, ore, which showed its wealth. On explor ing, pure silver was Anad-arberc trees had fallen and had been burnt, or where Indians had lit a fire_ on beds of chloride ore, reducing the easily smelted rock to metal. The great Ebenhardt vein was next discovered, then the Chloride Flat. The White Pine Netter says :—" The geological forma tion of the mountain is as singular as its riches are rare. It is an isolated peak of fossiliferous lime stone, overlaying silurian rocks at a great depth, and these having a foundation on those of tha primitive age. Into the crevices, caves, and chasms Of the limestone, or in displacements occasioned ty the action of thermal waters rising from the primi tive and silurian rocks, were deposited the lime, silicia, spar, and ores which now constitute the mines and veins of the bill. By such process of change has been formed that singular feature of mineralogy—fossiliferous quartz. The limestone has been carried away by the action of the water, while all its features, the form and character of its fossils, have been preserved in the obtruding silica. These crevices, chasms, caves, or displacements are in every portion of the hill, and of every size, frcm that of a bull's eye to that of the mammoth chasm of the Eberhardt, and the continuation of each, with increasing or varying rielines3, may be fol low:A to an indeliuile depth. A body of ore, ian:ll at the surfaco, may at a greater or less depth ex pand to a great size, and vice versa. Such a for mation is very advantageous for mining, as the or. s are in vast quantity, pure and rich, and easily mined. The exhaustion of the bill is almost a matter of impossibility, and none now living sill see it accomplished. as of the mountain to which we have compared it, hundreds of years hence w.ll see a prosperous mining community about the sides and base of Treasure Hill." Two beds of bitumin ous shale harebeen discovered six miles east of Trea sure City, the one 15 feet in thickness, the other 131) feet, in a country of carboniferous limestone, and which burns freely. A correspondent who had just arrived says that he found the wealth of the district to be underrated ; indeed, it could not easily be overrated, and certainly he bears out this statement by surprising figures. The following list of returns for the month of December will servo to show the relative yield of the various mines.

Notwithstanding that the district has at tracted miners from every direction, from the Com stock lode, the richest mines of Nevada, from Mexico, from California, they all appear astounded at the wealth of the ore, and the ease with which it is worked. Already nearly 100 companies have been organized ; 9 mills are in operation ; wages are Z 1 a day of eight hours, but no men work for others except when pressed for money to ctrry on their own operations. English minors, young, healthy, and fearless, might push their fortunes there, and it would be worth the while of a Cornish family to combine to send one of its members to try his for tune, and report for his fellows. A recent traveller thus narrates his experiences : —" At one station the party halted for a square meal. There was a tent, and in it a huge kettle of coffee and a camp oven. After waiting a few minutes, the landlord came to the door and snapped out, " room for four." Our informant went in with three other men and they knelt around a flat box, which the hotel keeper had turned down on the ground. On the top were four basins of strong coffee, and by each dirty tin was a dirty black bis cuit and an egg. The coffee and eggs were good, and the biscuits were good ou the outside, that is, the eater had to choose between two evils—dirt over the top crust, dough under it. Each loaf was like a cream cake, perfectly soft inside. Thehungry men took off the crust and after blowing, scraping, and rubbing it to remove the alluvial deposits, put it down with a gusto and torrents of strong coffee. The inside masses of dough were left by each man's basin. When the men had finished their meal, and while they were yet kneeling, the host put his soot begrirnmed and greasy hand over the box and spoke again, " Four dollar." I - Ie was paid. Plump went the silver into his pouchy pocket, and pop went the four masses of dough back into the oven. As soon as a new crust was baked over them, eggs cuoked and the basins refilled with coffee, four more hungry men knelt down, ate off the crust, rejected the rest of the dough for another baking, and paid their dollar each for the meal. It was calculated that one more stage load of customers would finish the biscuits and put the landlord to the trouble of kneading a new batch." In Senator Wilson's reply to Senator Sprague in discussing the lot of working men, 113 said :—" In the winter of 1836, when I came of age, I hired myself for one month to a farmer of my native town. I went into the forests, drove teams, chopped wood and tinily!r, working at least 14 hours daily. For this work Ire • ceived the enormous sum of $6 iu cash. I then thought I was quite fortunate to get $6 in money for that month's hard toil. The wages of labour have increased in that region in New England since that day three or four fold."
