'MINING INVESTMENT. —Parties seeking
safe and profitable investments should turn their attention
to the shares of those companies formed for mining, especially when
their estates are in Cornwall and Devon. The dividends from many
of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 Der cent. upon the subscribed
capital, while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent
Prospects of soon doing so, afford at,undant scope for speculation, not
alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise
on account of the great enhancement In the value of the stock at-
tendant thereon. Mr. JNO S. LANE, 32, Po'iltry, London, having
correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a
Position early to advise his clients. Parties communicating will re-
ceive all requisite information, and Mr. LANE will recommend
either dividend paying, or non-dividend paying concerns, to those
wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so
doing.

H. HUNTER,

I.IFE ASSURANCE;
4 REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE
of COMMONS. and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM—the New and
Important Feature of Life Assurance adopted by The DEPOSIT
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.
The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com-
mittee: -

"THE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN EFFECTING IN-
SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND
SOLEMN character, viz., the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
after the death of their NATURAL PROTECTORS ; unlike any ordinary
transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE
DISCHARGED OR ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an
office should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN
PAST YEARS, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other
offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age
of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the ANXIOUS AND UN-
NAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVERE IN PAYING
PREMIUMS FROM TEAR TO YEAR, With SOME suspicion and doubt as
to the ultimate advantage of doing so, oa OF INCURRING THE SE-
RIOUS LOSS WHICH, UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES,
MUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A POLICY."
'°,ll
On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT " COMPELLED" to pay
" YEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of "ABANDON-
ING" his Policy, incur any SERIOUS LOSS," but, on the contrary, he
taa7 Pay such amounts, and at such times as he may find most con-
venient; he can stop paying whenever he pleases, and he can with-
draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with-
r awn the Policy is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the
Pokey is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn.
if 1.1. aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., which
Whl be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally
"Lintnishes.
