MINING NOTES.

F. E. Brooks, the Colorado Springs, Colorado, attorney, came in from the Copper Chief mining camp near ter 0me, yesterday, and will leave tomor- row morning for his home in Colorado MT. Brooks is interested in the above mine and says that everything is nov ing very satisfactorily in its develop ment.-Journal-Mine
 A prominent miner in this county told story at the Occidental Hotel last night that would prove of marvel ous interest in any other part of the werld except Arizona He said that while his party was prospecting about sixty miles south of Tucson they found some ore that had been carried out of a gopher hole. On examination they found it rich in copper and silver. This little incident led them to explore a few feet beneath the surface, uncover ing a large ledge of rich ore. There was no sign of anything worth pros pecting aside from the few samples

LIFE IN THE KLONKDYkE
The ProSpecfor and Their Families
 Live Tn Rough Comfort.

Among the most interesting of the published communications from the Klondike is a letter from Mrs Margaret Ferguson, a former resident of Jack sen county, to her mother, Mrs. Leach, of Independence, a portion of which is given herewith:
 We are just fifteen miles from Daw- son, surrounded by hills, and on Gold Hill and a.ong the beds of the creeks ttere are dumps upon dumps Of rich dirt just waiting fer sluicing time; still more being taken out. MT. Fergu- son and MT. Cushman, whom MT Fer guson knew in Colorado, conceived the idea of starting general merchandise store here, for, you see, all these min CTS have to go to Dawson for supplies, and a trip to Dawson means loss Of time, hard work and expense. l have two rooms here, and my bed room is just as coZy as can be.

To the southeast of Zaghwan an interesting Christian church has been discovered, containing a baptistry in the form of q cross, entirely paved with mOsaics. One of the aisles had been closed at some time or ottar by means of an immense stone coffin lid from Pagan sarcopha gus.

LOSSES THAT DRAIN OLD POLICY
 HOLDERS.

Under the above caption the Insur- ance Observer has the following to say:
 Recently we had occasion to refer uo the published statement of the New York Life InsUE ance company, that during the year 1898 it had paid $868,- 166.68 on the lives of 356 psrsons. car rying 3S8 policies, who died within less than one year after fnsuring. Th-S was a startling statement, in view of the fact that the normal rate of deaths among it's new entrants last year would call for only about 137 deaths. instead of 388, and the payment of only about $500. 900 in death claims. in stead of $86S. .166.68. Since the begin ming of 1899, however. the large nor tality among the one-year policy hold CTS of the New York Life has shown no sign of declining. The deaths re- ported by the company in the first four months of 1899 among policy holders who were insured less than one year are shown below, with the amount paid on Fiheir policies. and the total premiums paid by the insured:

A MUSEUM OF ROMAN CURIos.
Some of the Antiquities That Have
 Been Added to the Collection.

An admirable museum of Careha- ginian and Roman antiquities has been formed, a collection which is being yearly added to by the careful excava- ticns which are being made under the direction of Pere Delattre on the site of Carthage. MT. Gauck.er has, as the headquarters of his collections, the handsome Museum Fl Alaoui, estab
 lished in the old Beylical palace of the EarBdo, five miles from TUnis. At ths Alaoui museum Roman remains and Arab art are equally well illustrated. Amongst the more important works in 1897-98 undertaken by the government department, which is under NJ Gauck- ler's direction, may be mentioned the repairing of the triumphal arch at Aphrcdisurl, near Ref; the gradual

pany has paid on 142 lives $296 418.3 g, against which the total premiums re- ceived were only 13,962 93. Deduct ing 50 per cent for commissions paid and $3 each for medical examinations, the company would have barely 5000 left, allowing nothing at all for oaher expenses, and it paid out $296, AIS. It IS true that every company is bound to have some unexpected deaths in the first year, but the deaths of this class reported by the New York Life are ex- traCrdinary in number The total death claims paid by the company in the four months numbered 1212 and amounted to $3,9S8, ,83S.93. The one year deaths were therefore about 11.7 per cent of the total number and about 71z per cent of the total amount, an extraordinary average indeed.
 Bu5 8, further investigation shows that the; deaths in the second year are numerous. The company does not publish the duration of the policies on which claims are paid. except those which have run less than enc ysar We are able to show, however, the amount and number of death claims paid in the first four months of the year. on which the premiums paid were less than one-tenth of the amount insurance paid by the com pany. The following table presents that information:

CIRCULAR OF WARNING

The Lordsburg, N. M, Liberal prints the following commendation of Cover TOT Murphy's recent action in respect of mining stock jobbing schemes:
 Governor Murphy of Arizona, has been highly commended for his action in issuing circular of warning to eastern investors, advising them to in- yestigate carefully before buying stock in mining companies. He particularly mentioned the Val Verde and the Spenazuma companies as being started simply for the purpose of selling stock, not for mining, as neither of them have any ore, but the projectors have scld millions of dollars worth oi stock which is practically worthless There are many good mining proper ties in Arizona, the stock in which men can safely buy, and the governor has done well to point out the fact that there are many fake schemes. When purchaser buys stock in fake scheme he generally believes that all the mining propositions are fakes and this does the territory incalculable damage. If Governor Murphy could ascertain just who is back Of the diff ferent fake schemes and advertise these individuals, he would do great deal Of good. For instance, when the Spenazuma property was being bComed there was a gentleman named H. B. Clifford, whose name did not appear among the officers, who was one of the principal gathers by the selling of stock He went all over New England peddling out the stock. He would go into a New England town or city, hire the town hall or a theater, and adver- tise that the Hon. H. B. Clifford, com missioner of Arizona would give a lecture On the resources and places of interest in the territory, which was free, and to which everybody was in- vited. In his lecture he would com mence by telling of the ruins of Casa Grande, talk about the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, describe the petrified forest, tell something of the Irrigation ditches and then get around to the mining resources. He would describe some of the many large mining prop critics and advise his hearers to buy, if they bougl1- at all, in some of the big companies. He would tell Of the magnificent returns of such properties as the Verde, the Copper Queen and the SpenaZuma. He would tell how at one time the stock of the Copper Queen and the United Verde sod for a few cents a share, and now were hard to get at any price, and then ex- plained that the SpenaZuma was in the same position as these other prop critics were a few years ago, and as sured the people that as soon as the SpenaZunaa was as well known as these other properties it's stock would be equally valuable. He would wind up his lecture by assuring his hearers that as Commissioners of Arizona he would be glad to poiut out to any of them who wished to buy mining stock the really reliable companies, com panies whose stock they could safely and prof1tably buy, and when they came around for the information he would sell them all the Spenazuma stock he could load onto them If Governor Murphy could expose such men he would do a world of good but if he started to do it he would not have any time left 10 attend to the other duties of his office.'

Leaving out of consideration all ex- penses whatever, the New York Life 1 in the four months to April 30, 1899 paid out on 256 claims more than $559, | 000, on which it received less than $33, ,000 for premiums, a loss Of S526,- 900. Whether this is an excessive rate of mortality on, policies that have run less than two years no expert enced insurance man, having the New York Life reports before him, will find any difficulty in determining. But some light may be thrown on this point by comparing data obtained from the published statements of the New York Life and of another large mutual company the Mutual Life We are compelled to conf1ne the compaTi- son to the American experience of the companies. First we show the total death claims for the, four months in this country:
 Death claims in United States, Jan. l, to April 30, 1S99:-
 Lives. Amt. Pol. Pm. rcd. N. Y. L.. 996 $3,271, ,3S5.49 s1,18O, ,437 97 Null, 1,257 5,190,24O.21 2,435,543.76
 While not part of the subject un- der discussion, we also add the for eign death claims:
 Death claims in foreign countries, Jan. 1 to April 30, 1S99:-
 Lives. Amt. Pol Pm. rcd N. Y. L., PIG $717, ,453.44 $265, ,534. .45 Mutual 15O 32,SO9.1S 22O,S82. .16
 Noting n the first table that the Mu- tual Life paid 1,257 claims in the first four months of 1899, as compared with only 996 by the New York Life, and paid $5, ,190, ,240 of insurance as against only $3,21 1885 by the New York Life, now compare the death claims paid by the two companies on which less than 10 per cent of the insurance paid was received by the companies in pre- miums:
 American deaths in about two years, Jan. 1 to ApItl 30, 1899:-
 Lives. Amt Pol Pm. rcd. N. Y. L.. 23O s493, 3,S98.77 s29,O11.37 Mutual. 121 267.619.25 15,771.55
 The Mutual Life death losses in this case are but little more than Cne-half those of the New York Life The losses on which less than 10 per cent were paid in premiums were in the case of the New York Life, 23 psr cent of the total losses in number, and only about 9.6 per cent for the Mutual Life, while in amounlu the percentage for the New York Life was 15 p5r cent, and for the Mutual Life only about 5 per cent.
 As the full significance of the losses reported among the new entrants of the New York Life comes to be under stood, ahe action of the management in voluntarily setting aside" $500,000 as mortality fuctuation fund.- (see Perkins red and blue circular. May 6, 1899), may be better understood. No other level premium life insurance company in existence has found it necessary to establish a fund to pro vide for excess of mortality. Every ether company has had a more favor able morality experience than the table rate
