SOME FIGURES

Given Out by Insurance Commissioner
Smith of Minnesota-Big Fire Losses.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 21.-Insurance Com
missioner Smith has completed that part
of his report for 1898 which deals with
fire insurance companies. As compared
with the report of 1892, it shows large
losses for the companies, the percentage
of losses incurred to premiums received
being 81, against AZ for last year. It
cost the companies IS per cent to do
business, SO that their record for 1898
leaves them 20 per cent worse than moth
ing. The statements of business for 20
years shows that the percentage of loss
has only twice been higher, once in
1878, when it was SO and again in 1880
when it was 1O6. The average ratio Of
loss has been 81.
The total amount of risks written in
1898 was $197, 1858, $40, against 1921, 1885,
587 in 1899. The premiums received
amounted to $4,000, 321.6S, against
$3,131, 1885 for 1892. The average
premium rate was $1.42, against $1.35
in 1899. The losses incurred were
81 400, $500 for 1892 and 81, 4YO, 342. 10
for 1898. These are the figures for the
American companies. For foreign COM
panies with branches in the United
States there is less difference in the
figures for the two years. They run
as follows: Risks written in 1892,
500, 534, 967; 1893, $50, 183, 1857; premiums,
received, 1899, $1,073, 0O5.2O; 1898,
81 1855, 1865; average premium rate, 1892.
$1.6l, 1885,. go; losses incurred, 1899,
1888, 1O8, 1898, 1913, 566.27; ratio of loss
to premiums received, 1892, 81, 1893, 81.
The figures of the mutual companies
are less complete. The risks for 1892
were $685., 53S, against, 1851 ,214 for
1898; premiums, 1892, ST., 1922, 1898,
$S2,747.42, losses incurred, 1892, $685.
O6o.2O, 1898, $46, 098 Sc. The year was
a bad one for fire companies and with
the opening of 1894, Is companies have
Withdrawn from this state and only one
new company has been admitted. The
losses in this state, however, have been
lighter than many others.

a STORY TOLD BY A BONE.

The National Academy of Sciences
has Just published two or three papers
on the bones contained in the Hemin-
NAV collection in the United States
Army Medical museum at Washington,
which add little to our knowledge Of
the prehistoric races Of Arizona. The
homes were found in the Salt river
valley. near the site of the ancient
Cibola. close to the present home OF the
Zuni Indians. They seem to be coeval
with the relics which have been collect
ed at Casa Grande on the Gila-a ruin
which appears to have been as far
advanced in decay in the time or the
early Spanish explorers as 1t seems TO
be now. Mr.. Frank Hamilton Gushing,
who was the first to discover the ruins,
gave them the appropriate name of Los
Muertoe. He noticed the analogy be
tween the pottery of Los Muertos and
that of the Zunis OF today, and came
70 the conclusion that the latter we're
the survivors of the race which had
inhabited Salt river valley at q very
remote period Of antiquity.

IN the composition Of the gold obtained
from the quartz veins and that found in
the slluvlal coil, small quantity of gold
amalgam WAS obtained from the Potosi
Mining company's crushing mill, and it
contained as follows:
Mercury .55.55 Or. ct.
Copper. LIE - 403 per ct.
retorted gold
Silver. 3.57 - S.62 per ct.
retorted gold
Iron (tr'cel
Gold :. 39Os -S79.4O per ct.
retorted gold
In the analysis of the amalgam, the
fineness of the gold appears less than it
is wher shipped for market, as the
amalgam undergoes a cleaning treat
ment before melting; also liz the fusion
the gold is again purified, so that the
average assays of a large quantity of
gold bars shipped from this district he
ranged from $40 to 925 in fneness. The
gold obtains d from working the quartz
veins is always of bsser character than
that obtained from alluvial washings.
In conclusion: From the above ex-
periments, made and recorded OF gold
nugget covered with a glazed ferrugin-
GUS earth. it would appear to me 70
prove that gold nuggets do gradually
increase in size, owing to the accumula-
ton of fresh particles of finely precipit-
tated gold.-George Atwood, NJ. E., in
Mining and Sclensltic Press.

FREQUENT OusIaughts

On the delicate membrane Of the
bowels and stomach with drastic pur-
gatives must have their natural conse-
9uence-to weaken and disable both or
gans. NatGre exacts severe penalties
for infringements of her laws, and
there is no more gl8ring one than that
which consists in frequent and unneces-
sary dosing with violent cathartics.
This is, however, the course pursued
by many unwise people who seem to
think that the bowels, unless constantly
relaxed, are not in healthy state.
When a laxative is really needed, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is the safest
and most thorough. 1t neither gripes
nor operates violently or excessively. 1t
invigorates the intestines and stomach.
and arouses the liver. Regularity and
vigor are guaranteed by its use. Sleep
promoted appetite restored, are among
its benign effects. A tendency to rheu-
matism and kidney trouble is nullified
by it, and it completely eradicates ma
larial complaints.
