MUTUAL FARM INSURANCE.

Recently two friends have been burned out of their homes; both were living in large farm houses. One of them was insured in a mutual insur- ance company organized by the farm CTS of the country in which he lived and he will get the insurance withou. trouble. This happens to be the first loss of the company, and he gets his insurance without it's having cost him cent save $1 for the policy He has had three years insurance for this dollar.
 The other had his house insured in an old-line insurance company and an adjuster has been around and abused and villified him and tried to get him to acknowledge that his furniture was old and worn out and that his loss was about half the amount his policy calls for. He found on looking over the conditions printed in very fine type on his policy that his books, piano and sewing machine were not insured and will be a total loss. Sometime in the future, very soon, perhaps, the com pany will grudgingly pay him about three-fourths of the amount his policy calls for, which will be about one-half the actual loss by the time he builds a new house and buys furniture to re- place that burned.
 Farmers are more liable to loss by fire than any other class of people, risks considered, and they should keep their buildings and contents insured, but they should insure in mutual company, where they will receive fair treatment and get prompt and gener- ous settlement. It has been proved by every one of the thousands of mutual insurance companies in this country that this form of insurance is vastly cheaper and altogether more satisfac- tory than insurance in a stock com pany located in some other state or at best in distant city. Mutual in surance for farmers is a success, and there should be more of it.-Farmer' s Voice.

MINING INVESTMENTS.

There need be no anxiety regarding mining investments in the west" said John C.. Harbison of Philadelphia at the Brown Palace. "The temporary check to investments of this charac- ter caused by the issue of a govern ment loan of 400 million dollars will soon end There is no doubt that the moneyed men of the east hoped for an opportunity to secure the greater part of this loan, but it is now evident that at least one-half of the loan will be subscribed by the people. leaving 200 millions to be subscribed in large amounts by the capitalists. This sum will be very far from absorbing the money that is awaiting investment. and it Is certain that in a very short time there will be host of inquiries for good mining investments. I find that very many people are now turn ing in the direction of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines as rich fields for investments, but these fields are sur rounded by SO many uncertainties that they will not seriously interfere with the mining field. There is no doubt that territories that may be captured from Spain will afford profitable fields for American enterprise, but we will have to take them first and after they are secured it will take years to put them in condition to render invest ments reasonably safe. In the mean time there will be a constantly increas- ing reserve fund, which will not be permitted to lie idle, and there is no field which promises greater profits with less risk than mining Manufac- turing enterprises have received a trifing impetus from the war, but af- ter all there is little hope in the future for industrials of any kind. Nearly every line of manufactures have all the capital invested that they can stand, and aside from those which are now furnishing war supplies none of them are making any money to speak of. Mining alone is an open field with out limit, and it is steadily advancing in favor with eastern capital. It must be remembered that the money invest ed in government bonds is not neces- sarily withdrawn from activity With most men of large means bonds are sought because they are a safe place to deposit, and are the best possible se- curities for advances. Very many of those who invest in them will subse- quently borrow money on them for in- vestment in other directions. and 1 am certain that within the next few weeks, as soon as the bond issue is out of the way, there will be a very gen. eral movement of money in this di- rec,ion.' .'-Denver Republican.

ENORMOUS UNDERTAKING.

H. c. Duncan of Glasgow, Scotland, was in the city yesterday. MT. Dun can is a young mining engineer who has been three years in western Aus tralia and is now on his return home. There is no doubt" said he, that the mines of Kalgoorlie will pay well. but I doubt if there will ever be re- turn of the money that has been ex- pended over the vast territory that is included in western Australia. There was tremendous rush of capital there for a time, but that has stopped now, and in all probability larger number of properties that have been exploited at heavy expense only to prove unre- munerative will be abandoned. Some have been already shut down. But there is one enterprise now in progress there that is worthy of mention, as it is probably the most gigantic hydraul- ic system ever contemplated in the world for mining purposes. The great drawback to the entire country is the scarcity of the water supply and many of the really good mines have their output limited for this reason.
 ''The government has therefore un- dertaken the task of supplying the mining regions with five million gal Ions of water per day. In order to do this it will be necessary, beside the building of great dams at the source Of supply and the connection of several systems of small water courses, to build a pipe line 340 miles long. Some idea of the magnitude of the undertak- ing can be gained from the fact that nearly 270 miles of this line will be rlv- eted iron pipe with 30 inches internal diameter, and 30 miles of welded steel pipe with from 25 to 30 inches diame- ter. It is estimated that the pipe to be used in the construction of the line will weigh S5,000 tons and will cost, delivered in western Australia, more than four million dollars It will re- quire force of l 1000 men three years to complete the construction of the line, and large force of men will be required to build the dams. etc. for the storage of water at the source of SUD- ply. The estimated cost of the work is fifteen million dollars, and some of the engineers of the district who have made estimates on the work contend that it will require much more than this sum to complete it. Bids are to be taken From England and the United States, as well as Australia, and the most eminent engineering firms of the world are to be invited to compete for the contract. The completion of this work will have very important infiu- ence upon the mining operations of western Australia, as the water is to

 A dispatch from Berlin to the Chi
 cago Tribune says that the thrice
 locked vaults of the Spandau fortress in Germany were opened a few days
 ago for the annual examination by
 the secrela.g Of the treasury to see
 that the s90,OO0,00O in gold, which the i relchstag voted in 1871 as a fund for first expense in the next great war was
 all right. Baron von Thielmann se- 1 lected few bags at random, counted
 the gold in them, counted the number of bags and weighed the whole amount. Some dozens of workmen were occu-
 pied for several hours in the grotesoue mediaeval function. The sum eats up 1 S3,000,O00 interest yearly.

 cylinder which is constructed some

 series of pipes under pressure, the
 workman sends the gravel from the
 river bottom up to the deck Of the i boat There it is poured into proper
 receptacles, is sluiced and washed, and
 the gold separated from the refuse.
