FIRST GRAND ADVANTAGE.

Does the reader believe that all those usually In.
sured by the cold plan at the age at the same
premium, are equal risks?
OF course he knows that they are not.
Those who work the cold plan" pretend that they
cannot tell the difference, but must average or ai-
gate them. -,
Any one, however, who is not interested in the
"old plan, can tell, at least to degree.
We can, to great degree, If not perfectly
Distinguish into "many'' Grades.
those thus averaged by the cold plan"
BY A THOROUGH PROCEEDING
we are able to GRADE Al RISKS ten years down
or even more than that.
For example, If such person is 40 years of age, we
grade him as if 80 and give him the advantage of
taking any kind of policy, any form or method of in
surance if he was an average person at that age;
his premiums following year by year thereafter upon
the table, as if he were ten years younger than his
actual age. So that in any other company he would
pay, first and last, at least fifty per cent. more tor
any kind of life insurance than he will here pay for
the same, as the facts will show (other sound risks
we grade higher say, those Of 40, from 81 up 10 &C
all such being insurable by the old plan at the prem
iums of their actual ages.)

Observe that this REBATE for first Examination,

and continue to do the same long as the assured
desires an examination yearly, and passes AL.
Is it not right that those who maintain their good
condition and small risk for many years should have
share in the advantages which arise therefor?
Are they not right in thinking that they are con-
stantly entitled to lower premiums on account of
their very small risk? Most certainly they are
Yet strange to say, the told plan not recognizing
this fact not only does not give them any privilege
of being examined after entering, but actually
mulcts them on account Of their first year, giving no
'pad up policy" nor surrender vaue' for it, saying
that expenses are large that year that 1t cannot
be afforded"!!! General expenses are then pro ra-
ito larger but death losses are so mnch smaller that
unless general expenses are much larger than they
should be, the first year is, upon the whole, much
the least expensive of any.

GRAND SECOND ADVANTAGE.

GRAND SECOND ADVANTAGE.
We give, to all grades, any kind of insurance that
any other company gives, and also still better-the
Genuine "HARD.PAN" Method.
The words "Pay as you CO." "Stop when you please
without loss" "Get what you pay for" etc., are used
by Others but the ideas pure and true applied by
this company only.
This method is not part of the "Grading' princi-
pie. 1t can be used under any mode of apprase-
ment of risk, and for those "Graded"
high as well as for those 'Graded" down. This
method simply means that person should pay year.
ly only the estimated cost of each year, during what
ever PERIOD even if whole life, for which he is in
sured; nothing in aduance under any pretext what
ever, either gambling, speculative what not; with
the distinct understanding that
Life Insurance is ,rorth something.
and only to be taken by those who, feeling that they
need it to allay their anxeties, willing, being
also able, to pay for it at reasonable cost.
THE "NATURAL PREMIUM ,
TERM-LIFE POLICY,
and nothing more, is exactly what every one needs
who wants life insurance at all.
Tho approval of the term-life method is very
strongly put in the report Of the new commissioner
of Massachusetts, as follows:-
The great object of life insurance to the insured
it should be remembered, is to the active and
personally productive period of life from 25 to 55
or perhaps 60. In view of the correctness of this
theory, it is matter of surprise that companies
have not made greater efforts than they have to ne
tighten the people upon the merits of term insurance.
Had but small part of the money expended to in
troduce brilliant triumph of actuarial ingenuity been
devoted to setting forth the cheapness and pracca
bIity of this form of insurance, the number of out
standing policies would have been increased and the
lapses diminished.
Also, Mr.. Pillsbury, the very distinguished Insur-
ance Commissioner Of New Hampshire, in his last
Report, says that "Term-Life Policies are the only
ones which any person needs or should take"

Latest from Prof. Jenney's ExPetli-
tion'-Seven to Twenty-Five COlors
to the Pan.

The Black Hills Neurological Survey
ing Expedition moved from Camp Jenney
on the 9th inst, and marched to Harvey s
Peak, arriving there on the 18th inst.
One hundred miners were found at work
in the gulch on the branch Of French
mans Fork. They have been at work
this spring preparing sluiccs and bitches.
They take from this gulch from seven to
twenty-five colors to the pan. This has
been done repeatedly in the presence Of
the officers of the command and can be
relied on. The highest prospect, thirty
seven cents, is reported as having been
tished out from bed rock. How many
other gulches there are having gold is not
known. 1t is supposed that all those
running from the Peak will show gold.
Prof Jenney is making an exhaustive
prospect as far as practicable. He. is
cautious in giving an opinion. Rich gold
quartz mines are reported found, hut as
no prospect has been made, an estimate
Of their value cannot be given. No In
dams have disturbed the command as
yet. They are supposed to be north of
this point. The probabilities are that
the command will move north as soon as
the supply train reaches this camp.
