Reliable Insurance.

We would call strict attention to the
annual statement of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, in
another part of this paper. This COM
pany is known as the largest, strongest
and safest insurance company in the
world. Since the organization of the
company it has paid to policy holders:
For dsath claims and endowments,
s4l, 1886, 947; dividends, S45, 436, 759;
surrender of policies, s3i.072, S53; to-
tai, 1921, lac, $50, and the present as
sets amount to more than ss5, 900, 900.
The company thus presents insurance
~unequalled by any similar institution.
This company has never disputed a
claim that was shown to be Just and
right therefore, those that desire safe
life insurance are invited to call on

GOLDEN %GLEANINGS.

OF the Homestake mine the Dead
wood Pioneer says: The compartment
shaft, lately commenced, is down about
twelve feet, and a house is being con-
structed over it. The south shaft is
down seventy feet. Work is progress
ing on the two old excavations. The
drift has attained Il length of about
twelve feet, with n track nearly COM
pleted TO the dump. Eighty men are
employed in the mine and forty on the
mill.
Three mortars and considerable other
machinery has been unloaded upon the
ground. The excavations are nearly
completed in readiness for the build
ing, the raising of which will COM
mence in about eight days.
In the Consolidated Woolley-Peca-
cho mine the force employed is suf-
ficient to extract ninety tons of ore
daily, keeping the company's mill and
others under contract in constant ope-
ration. Ore is being broken from a
continuous breast of $50 feet, to be ex-
tended to 175. A track is being con-
structed into the old Woolley tunnel,
out of which when completed all the
ore will be taken. The bedrock re-
tains its pitch into the hill. The ore is
extracted to the height of about six
feet, leaving rock in the roof valued at
about seven dollars per ton.
The Nettie lode has been bonded for
four months to $. d. Wright, who has
q force of men at work developing the
property. The tunnel is in thirty feet,
and the shaft near the face Is down
fifty-fve feet in good looking quartz.
Considerable ore is piled upon the
dump.

Miss May Fisk. a cousin to the late
Jim, whose recent transit through
Cheyenne from san Francisco was
mentioned by this paper, delivered a
lecture on the cars between Cheyenne
and Omaha. The Herald says that
upon reaching FremontNt the lecture be-
gan, the lecturess taking her position
in one end of the car, while her au-
dience faced her. The lecture was
entertaining, the speaker being lively,
enthusiastic and boiling over with her
subject. When the train started, at
the expiration Of the twenty minutes
allotted for Refreshments at Fremont,
it was found that the motion of the
cars was entirely destructive to easy
posture or appropriate gesture, aud the
fair speaker drew her address to an end
and sat down amid enthusiastic and
long continued applause.

: A,er. Nose Company Ball.

Last evening an immense throng
assembled at Recreation Hall, the occa-
sion being that of the first annual ball
given by the members of the Alert
Hose company. We dropped in during
the evening and took a look at the
happy throng surrounded by the profuse
decorations and pharaphernalia of the
company, which exceeded anything we
ever before witnessed in Cheyenne.
Over the dais at the north end of the
hall was a motto in evergreen, swell
come ALL" underneath which appeared
a large sized pen portrait Of George
Washington. On the platform to the
rear of the orchestra, we observed the
hose carriage, decorated and lighted,
and ready to turn out with 1000 feet Of
hose at a moments warning. Fire
trumpets hung here and there in con-
| spicuous places, and the notices of the
Alert, Durant and Pioneer companies,
adorned the walls on either side. There
was the partnership motto Of the COM
pdiyy We ohCce oui Nicitois, Dtoiuco
others of similar import. At the south
end of the hall was placed a mammoth
head light. Over this was placed in
evergreen the word Alert" On the
east side was a fine steel engrav.
ing of Washington and his family, ap.
propriately decorated with fire depart,
ment insignias. Another portrait was
that of Martha Washington. Among
others on the west side was IN engrav'
ing representing Washington delivering
his inaugural address. Prof. Schles
scnger furnished the music; Messrs
Dyer and Caswell the supper. The
dancing, which was kept up until Q
late hour, was participated in by many
of u most prominent citizens.
