1t is extremely probable that the Po-
tomac and the Lincoln Fire Insurance
Companies will be consolidated in the near
future. Negotiations looking to this end
have been pending for several weeks,
number of meetings between the officers
and directors Of the companies have been
held, and at present matters of minor de-
tail only are under discussion, the general
plan having been agreed on. il is said.
The stockholders of the companies have
no. as yet taken the matter up officially
but majority in each case is relied on
by the directors TO acquiesce in the plan
The question of consolidation among the
fire Insurance companies has been much
discussed in the past year or more. People
familiar with the fire insurance business
state that there are too many companies
in the District for the business that it is
possible TO secure. The entire number of
companies is thirteen. which is much
larger in proportion than that in other
cities, according TO the value of District
property. II is said that some of the COM
panies are not earning their dividends out
OF the fire insurance business proper Ii
is stated that one or two even have paid
their recent dividends out of their sur
p4NeSS- several ul lHS companies nave
large surpluses from the big business of
former years, and these surpluses are in
vested to good advantage. which has really
uded them over many recent lean periods.
Other companies are not so fortunate.
This, in general way, illustrates the way
that the business is cut up, though II does
not apply directly to the two companies
in question. II is acknowledged. however.
that both of these companies are running
TTrtrs tor. r,f
business done than is thought necessary
or advisable.
The statement is made by a director of
the Lincoln Company that the ques-
tion of reducing expenses is under advise
nent and the proposition to combine the
Potomac and the Lincoln was taken up
several weeks ago in a tentative way and
discussed informally on several occasions
by various officers of the two concerns.
Later the matter was taken up formally
1t is believed that the expenses of a single
company combining the two viii be re-
duced materially in the cutting off of
superfiuous salaries
The two companies are situated most ad-
vantageousiy for a combination, their
capital stocks at the present market value
being very nearly equal. The Potomac
stock is S75.5o1. the par being s25 and the
present market price s72 or more. which
would make the market value OF the stock
about s225, coo, The Lincoln capital stock
is Sie0.oeo The par value is S. and the
present market quotationi Is sl2.5e. which
would make the market value of the capi-
tai stock about syst, eco Both companies
have large surpluses equal to or greater
than the capital stocks
The proposition is to merge the two
companies under the charter of the Po-
tomae Company which is regarded as the
most liberal and desirable. The Potomac
Company was formed in 1881, when insur-
ance charters were broad. The Potomac
Company has the right to do life insurance
and also marine business, if it wishes.

many different companies durin G
that time. The Candelaria company
which is making such great progress
in the district has been in posses
sion about twelve years.
AS is generally known, of course,
this country has secured railway ia
cilities only within the past year.
Previous to this all the ore had to be
hauled overland to Deming, N. NJ, or
to Villa Ahumada on the Mexican
Central railway.
Ore that has been piled up for
years until there is now a dump from
two mines Of twelve hundred >thous-
and tons is now being hauled to the
smelter or to the concentration by
the train-load.
Of sulphide ore, $50 tons a day are
being shipped, and of oxide ores 80
tons day. One half of this goes to
the smelter at Juarez and the other
half to the cCncentrator. The ores
carry silver, gold. copper and lead in
sufficient quantities to make each
have marketable value and pro-
duce profit for the company. Iron,
zinc, sulphur and silica are also
found to be part of the composition

reached by the railway from San
Pedro station, six miles away, This
is where the famous old San Pedro
mine is located. The company
store is there and it is the residence
place of nearly all the Mexican en-
ployes of both the old and new
towns.
New San Pedro is the home place
of many of the American employees
and some of these live in very desir-
able appearing little homes.
At the San Nicholaus mine is an
other small town and one is now
building at the Congresso mine on
property that has been recently sur
veyed.
Of the properties the Congresso is
the greatest producer in amount OF
tonnage but the ore taken from the
Candelaria mine is of the highest
grade, Ore from this niue has run

it's levels being 100 feet apart, and
these extend from 1000 to 1920 feet

Casas Grandes is in the midst of a

any direction the prospector chooses
to take and there are now d large

praise with Cy Warman:

With their hueless caps of snow,

A twenty-five horse power gasoline
engine has been added to the Con-
gresso property: a thirty horse power
steam engine to the Leon mine. A
roasting plant has been added to the
new town, which is also having other
improvements. including a large board
ing house, a water-works syst EN-, etc.
Modern methods of hosting are
also to be found on all the properties.
Several adobe dwelling are now going
up at the Congresso mine and in
many ways the company is showing
that it is very prosperous with its
mines.
SABINAL.
Sabinal is another mining town in
the same district as the San Pedro
group of mines. The Santa Domingo,
the principal mine here, has been
shipping large quantities of high
grade ore for months.
The FlorenCia mine at this place is
known for it's fine quality of ruby
silver.
The Grand Central and the Pro-
gresso mines are also good paying
properties.
The mines at Summit, which lie in
the Esconditas, south of San Pedro
station and north of Casas Gran
des, are also producing good profits
for their owners.

There are also some good paying
properties at Guzman, among them
being the Bismarck, owned bv the
Candelaria Company, which is ship
ping a considerable amount of fine
smelling ore to the Juarez smelter
each month. The Australia is also
turning out some good ore and there
are numerous smaller mines and pros
poets in the district on which active
work is engaged.
GUAYNOPA DISTRICT.
The great Guaynopa mineral dis
trict lies southwest of and within a
hundred miles of Casas Grandes,
Low grade ore is to be. found here
chiefly and it will not be until the
railway enters the district that ex-
tensive operations in mining will be
carried on. though there is undoubt-
eddy untold wealth to be gained from
this field when once the facilities for
successful mining are offered There
Is, however, some mines in the dis
trlct that are even now being worked
at good profit, though it's only the
best of the ore that will stand haul
ing by wagon to Casas Grandes and
thence to the smelter and still give
the miner the returns he should have
for his labor.
Ruins of reduction works used
many years ago by the Spaniards and
later by the natives are to be found
here in plenty.

Not Risklng a Reputation.

A tailor in a rising Northern
village, in his anxiety to forge
ahead of all competition, printed
some glaring placards and sent
them to the local bill poster, with
instructions that they were to be
turned upside down on the boards.
On the following day, however,
he discovered that the bills had
been stuck, in their natural posi-
tion, and were attracting little at
tention.
"Look here, you blockhead,"
said the tailor to the bill poster,
"what do you mean by disregard
ing my orders? / told you to turn
those bills upside down, 50 that
people would stop TO puzzle out
the wording"
GAY, so ye did" said the man
Of paste.
"Then why in the name of good
ness, didn't you do it?"
"Cos I daren't risk it, tailor"
answered the bill poster. "Do you
know what folks would have said
if they'd seen those bills upside
down? They'd have said: 'Ah.
