MICHIGAN MUTUUL LIFE ms URANCE COM.

CANTON, Nov. 81, 1877.


To Whom il may Concern; .. ...
We, the undersigned citizens Of Stark county
and members Of the Board Of Control Of the
Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Company for
said county, take pleasure in saying to other pat.
rons holding policies, that we each hold policies
to the amount of five thousand dollars in the
above Company, and assure you that zoe feel perfect.
safe in so doing On the evening OF the 20Lh inst,
we called meeting of the policy holders, tsuch
as were conveniently to hear what Mr.. Lyons, Of
the firm of McVey Il Lyons, Superintendent, Col
umbus o., for the above company, assisted by J,S.
Saxton, of this city, and who has been agent for
said company the past five years, would have to
say concerning the actual condition Of said COM
pany at the present time To be brief, Messrs
Lyons and SaXton placed before us the official re.
port ct Hon, Samuel H. Row, Commissioner Of In
suranCe of the State of Michigan, showing a rigid
investigation and examination Of the companys
financial standing up to Auguft 3, 1877, which, in
connection with other facts OF our knowledge,
prompt us in using the above strong language as
to our own confidence in the company Mr., Ly-
ons also informs us that the Michigan Mutual has
over three hundred thousand dollars now loaned
in Ohio, which, in our opinion, certainly shows
strength as to policy holders, besides giving the
people of Ohio the benefit of the use OF SO large
an amount of money during these hard times,
which We as business men, should show our apss
probation of by promoting the interests of a
Home Company particularly when the State Off.
cial, holding the high office of Insurance Com
missioner, over his own signature, says that he
finds the company able to comply fully with the
law, and believes that its affairs are managed with
strict integrity" We have now given our opinion
of thecOmpany, and in conclusion would say that
their agent, Mr.. Joseph S, saxton, is well known
here, and worthy of patronage

volve reduction of the royalty rate proposed
by the tunnel company and that other eco
nomical steps will be agreed upon Not only
water can be extracted in the above manner,
but ores, debris, timber, supplies, etc., can
be handled. We have not space to go into
the details of the utility of the matter, but
we can safely assert that if the compromise is
agreed upon by the Nevada Bank, the news
will act on the market like the finding of a
bonanza. We think we can see in the above
the true reason why Flood & O'Brien have
prevented rise in the bonanza and other
stocks controlled by them. We're they to al
low the market value of the Comstock to
greatly increase, it might cause the terms of
the compromise to be less favorable to them.
The Post hopes that this matter will be
brought about, and that old feuds, jealousies
and personal hates will be forgotten in the
common desire to do something better for
stockholders, and restore confidence in the
leading mining district on the coast"

The Silver State of Wednesday foretells
what is to be done at the Humboldt District
Fair as follows:
The Directors of the Humboldt District A
M. & M. Society have announced more at
fractions for Fair Week Liberal premiums
are offered for the ladies tournament, for
which there will undoubtedly be many grace
full competitors. The Indian pony races will
be an exciting feature, as Piutes and Sho-
shones from all parts of the country will en-
ter their ponies for the contest The squaw
races will be novel and amusing Several
sage brush maidens are reported as being ex-
ercising and getting in trim for the trial, aud
it is expected that dozen or more of them
will enter the lists. There will be grand
ball under the auspices of the Society before
the close of the fair, and no pains will be
spared by the management to make the oc-
casion enjoyable for the public.
A ladies' tournament whatever that may
beg, scrub race between Piute ponies and an
exhibition of pedestrian speed by the squaws
of the vicinage, these ought to satisfy the
Humboldt appetite for novelties, we should
say. As departing from the customary rou-
tine of race course attractions it seems to us
that the management of this cattle show have
nit upon very interesting programme.
There is nothing like sticking to native prod
lets and patronizing home industry. This
is always an interesting one
will be begun on the First of October and be
continued for six days.

A TRAMP.
The Eureka Sentinel delivers itself in the

The Eureka Sentinel delivers itself in the
following manner
We met stalwart, un-bronzed individual
yesterday, of the genus tramp, who claims to
have done some pretty good walking in the
last three months. He started from Kansas
City last summer, and beat his way as far as
Salt Lake, at which point he switched off to-
wards Leeds. The climate was a little too
warm down there to suit him, so he departed
for Eureka, taking in Phoebe and Ward by
the way. He insists that since his departure
from Salt Lake City he has patronized Foot &
Walkers line exclusively, and processes to be
delighted with the inequalities extended to
him by the inhabitants along the route, and
says that it is very paradise for tramps, as
everyone is willing to give poor fellow
meal on all occasions. The last we saw of him
he was trying to beat Walkers established
rates for spring chicken down to lower fig
ure, and was offering the proprietor so cents
for the half of one of those delcacies His
stomach rejects any coarser food,
but it is shingle nail to a crowbar that beans
satisfy him before he gets through with Eu-
reka

This, which we clip from the Elko indie
pendent is good-that is to say, it is extrava-
CANT, fantastic and funny-but what it means
we are quite at loss to guess:
James Woolley and wife arrived from Salt
Lake by the train this morning, and gentle
man named Farren was also passenger from
Zion for this place. The latter was at one
time prominently connected with an enter
prise for the construction of canal from Cur
lew Springs in Pine Valley, to Eureka, but
after many scientific experiments it was dis
covered that water could not be persuaded to
run up hill, and the project was abandoned.
Nothing daunted, however, the inveterate n.y.
dropathic carried his energies into Utah, and
just before the death of the Prophet secured
the right of way for canal from the middle
of Salt Lake through any part of Mormon ter
ritory, and the object of his visit here is to
enlist Governor Bradley in scheme to intro
duce the waters OF that lake upon Professor
Stewards ranch in Tuscarora.

A NEW THFATER AT RENo.-The Gazette
describes as follows a new theater building
whose erection is about to be begun at Reno
by "Dick Smith, agent for Wells, Fargo &
Co."
Said building is to be 5Ox1OO, and will be
provided with a stage twenty feet wide and
twenty-five feet deep, hat and cloak room
ladies' room with all conveniences), perform
ers' rooms, and a hall 36x75 feet, and twenty
feet high. The following provisions will be
made for its ventilation: An iron ventilator
in each corner of the room and in the south
end. Also two ventilators on the west side
and large ventilator overhead. There will
be in addition five windows on the east side
The sides will be wainscotted five feet from
the floor up and hard finished above that point,
and ceiled overhead. This theater is to be
finished by the 5th of next month: We pre-
sumo that Smith will provide his new hall
with fine floor. The trappings and scenery
for the theater are better than any found in
any opera house or theater in the State of
Nevada. When this hall is thrown open to
the public it will be the best one in the State,
or at least outside of Virginia City. We hope
to see first class theatrical company appear
in the new theater on the opening night, and
are sure good troupe could be induced to
play here fair week, now that we are to have
a nice theater.
