Iron Exploration.


This has been the banner year as far
as exploration work is concerned,
from rs to so diamond and other drills
have been operated on Mesaba & Yer
million range this summer, and a large
amount of ore has been discovered on
properties that have been explored
before. 1t is said that the mining
men have heretofore as a rule stopped
drilling after they have gone few
feet in rock, but experiences haye
taught them that valuable ore depos-
its are sometimes found under 25 or
so feet of rock. A valuable mine was
recently discovered in that vicinity by
going through so or 60 feet of rock
that had been explored number of
years ago without success.

The Capitol.


The board of state capitol commits
sioners discussed the closing up Of the
first contract made with the Butler
Ryan company for the construction Of
the walls and roof of the new state
capitol. This contract should have
been closed July l, but the board ex-
tended it to allow the completion Of
certain changes.
Cass Gilbert. architect, informed
the board that the contract had
been completed with the smallest
list OF extras he had ever seen for so
large contract. The total list does
not aggregate more than 2X per cent
of the whole contract, and this in
cludes $11, 900 for the changes.
The estimate allowed was for $2s,-
5s5.75.
The board will direct that the steel

Speaking Of Authority Hanna, here
comes Republican Governor Mount Of
Indiana calling Hanna down in the fol-
lowing fashion: '.u Hanna made that
statement (that there are no trusts) he
either did not know what he was talk

of the country. There ARE trusts in
this country and they are fast grinding

Barron, her administrator was entitled
to such portion of the fund as the
sum of the payments she made bears
to the whole number of payments.
From the judgment embodying these
conclusions the administrator and the
heirs-at-law of Mary l.. Barron ap-
pealed.
The supreme court, after a careful
analysis of the evidence, find that
Walter T. Barron, previous to the deed
of assignment to Finley, gave the poll
cy of insurance (above mentioned) to
his wife-the preponderance of the
evidence being clearly against the find
ing of the circuit judge.
In order to avoid gift by the hus-
band to the wife for fraud, it Is incum-
bent on the creditor to show that such
gift is detrimental to his rights.
bridges vs.. Howell, 81 S. G. 434)
An insolvent debtor who is the head
ola family in this State may, as against
his creditors, convey his homestead to
his wife. Finley vs.. Cartwright IS S.
G. 1857 1t was incumbent, therefore,
on the contesting assignee for creditors
to show that at the time of this trans
fer or gift of the policy to the debtors
wife, the homestead exemption would
not protect this property from credi-
tors. The only inference properly de-
ducible from the evidence is that at
the time of the transfer of the policy
to Mrs. Barron, Mr.. Barron did not
own personal property exceeding his
homestead exemption; hence the
transfer could not be in fraud of the
rights of creditors.
A policy of insurance, like eny other
chose in action, may be transferred by
parol, unless some unwaived provision
in the policy forbids it-and no such
provision is shown here.
Judgment below reversed, and the
cause remanded, with the direction to
the circuit court to order the whole
fund ($2,641.24) arising from the in
surance policy in question, to be paid
to the plaintiff as administrator of the
estate of Mary L. Barron. Opinion by
Mr.. Justice Jones. Filed July 25.
Mr.. G. w. s. Hart for appellants !;
