ALASKA EXTRA HAZ-
ARDOUS.

Chicago Aug S.-The Chicago agent Of the Trav-
ellers' Insurance Company, of Hartford. Conn., has
received instructions from his home office not 10
insure any person going 10 the Clondyke region IL
IS a risk that the company does not desire to take
on account OF the extreme hazard. and because
when death takes place the difficulty OF OBTAINING
the facts to make settlement of claims Is so great
Inquiry shows that many of the principal life and
accident insurance companies have issued positive
instructions their general agents In the united
States and Canada against assuming any risks on
the lives Of persons contemplating a visit TO the
Clondyke Many Of the general agents represent
Ing Eastern companies in Chicago have received
letters from the home offices of prohbitory ma
ture against these risks. The action taken by the
Travellers Is similar TO that taken by the Provi-
dent Life and Trust and many of the smaller com
panIes.
Mr.. Harris. the manager OF the New-fork Lie
Insurance Company, in Chicago. has received no
Instructions that prohibit him from issuing permits
in that company to visit the Clondyke, but he says
he has positive instructions TO accept no applica-
tions for either an inc;ease of insurance or new
policies.
The Provident Life and Trust Company has posi-
tive instructions to take any insurance OF this
character and at the office OF the Equitable Life
they are refusing all such risks. The manager OF
the Equitable Chicago Is out OF the city. but his
assistant said he had written to the home office IN
regard to Clondyke Insurance. In the case OF old
policy holders an extra charge is made by the Equt-
able for a permission visit Alaska
The Penn Mutual Is another company that mas
no Instructions from the home office against taking
risk on the lives OF those going the Alaskan gold
fields Its representative said to-day that II was
the policy in the absence of positive Instructions
10 refuse new business OF this character. He said,
however that action would be taken In regard
10 policy holders who desired TO visit the gold fields.
Many OF the smaller companies. and especially the
local companies fatty refuse 10 accept business OF
this They that the risks are TOO great for
the premiums. :, .
The action Of the life insurance companies Is not
nearly as surprising as that of the accident com
panes The companies carrying accident risks are
even more particular than many OF those assuming
life risks They 20 on the theory that the trip over
