Mining Laws.

The Laramie Republican has
just completed the publication of
the Mining Laws of Wyoming and
of the United States, together
with the regulations of the Gen.
eral Land Office hereunder, and
offers the pamphlet for sale ut the
price OF 40 cents, postpaid to any
address. There has been for some
time an urgent need for a work
of this character, but this is the
first attempt made to supply the
demand. A sample copy can be
seen at the Sun office.

CLOSED DOWN FOR
THIS WINTER.
The Montana & Wyoming Mining Co.
Strike Water that Compels them
to Temporarily Abandon
Work.

A. Mackenzie, the local mana
ger of the Montana & Wyoming
Mining Co, who has been at work
on a group of three claims be.
longing to that company, up on
Cedar creek, eight miles due east
of this place, came into town Mon
day. He says they have been
compelled to suspend work for
the present, owing to the fact
that they struck a large body of
water, which they are unable to
handle with their present machin-
cry. MI. Mackenzie went out to
Denver Tuesday. He thinks he
will return about the first of June
to again commence work on the
claims and will bring some larg-
er and improved machinery with
him.
"We are well satisfied with the
results of our work, SO far" said
Mr.. Mackenzie, when questioned
about the properties he is work
ing for his company. "Our tun-
mel is in 150 feet. From there we
ran a cross-cut 10 feet to the con-
tact. AT that point we sank 30
feet on the vein, when we struck
a large flow of water and had to
quit for the present.
THE vein stands up very
straight and l have not yet been
able to determine which is the foot
wall and which the hanging wall,
one of which is schist and the 9TH
er quartzite. We had a foot of
good ore on either wall for a cou-
siderable distance Then it went
out entirely. But now it is COM
ing in again, but this time in the
centre of the lead, which is a good
indication.
Il am familiar with the copper
districts of Montana but | never
saw anywhere near as good sur
face indications there as what we
have right here within eight miles
of this town. We have three
claims there in a group, the 'Sar-
atoga,' Saratoga No. q and the
Independence and our work
has all been done on the Sarato-
ga. | am confident hat we have
some good mining property and
we intend to do a considerable
amount of development work on
them. l feel quite sure that depth
will show up a fine copper vein
there, perhaps as rich as any in
the district"

A REMARKABLE SHOWING.
Examination of the National Life Conn
pIeted by the Minnesota Department
of Insurance.

Commissioner j. A. O'ShaughneSsy
of the Insurance Department of the
State of Minnesota has just completed
thorough and critical examination of
the condition and affairs of the National
Life Insurance Company of Montpelier,
Vt. This examination, covering every
detail of the large business done by the
company, required five months for its
completion and is the first examination
of the company, made by an outside De-
partment, in its history of fifty years.
The company, it is understood, invited
Joint examination of its affairs by
three states, but the Minnesota Depart
ment concluded to proceed alone.
The report of the examiners shows
that the company has, under the meth
DDS of accounting and valuation adopted
by the Department, total admitted
assets of Sl7, 81, 5S643, total liabilities
on policy holders account of Sl6,l09,-
095.9S, and total surplus and undis-
tributed profits, over all liabilities, of
81 ,462, 490.45,a not material contraction.
The business in force, as of Dec. 81 :,
1899, distributed through thirty-one
states, was found to equal 4I,ll6 poll
cies, representing $50, S90,026.27 OF in
surance.
This critical examination merely
serves to sustain the old reputation of
the National for perfect solvency and
for efficient life insurance work Up to
December |, 1900 this company has
issued $l4,753 $4,000 of new insurance
and bids fair to complete the most pros
porous year in its history.
In course of the examination, the re-
ceipts and outgo for 1899 We're carefully
checked up. They amounted, together,
to over seven millions of transactions in
a single year, but no change was made
in these accounts, everything being
found in proper shape. The company
is congratulated upon its mortality ex.
perience, as demonstrating conserva
tive and careful selection of risks. The
account of surrendered policies was
found wholly free from discrimination
while death claims are reported as be
ing promptly paid and in full. All the
records of the company were found il
excellent shape. The company is fur
Their reported as being economically an'
efficiently managed with regard to thu
interests of the policy holder.

There's nothing succeeds like success,
as evidenced by the fact that the great
Boston Herald, gratifed by the results
obtained from the publication of THE
Best Woman's Page in America" in the
evening edition, has decided to give the
readers of the morning edition the add
vantage of this great feature. Here
after, readers of the morning edition of
The Boston Herald will find "The Best
Woman's Page in America" as attrac-
tive as the readers of the evening edi-
ton have in the past. No such effort is
put forth by any newspaper in the
country in catering to that great class
of newspaper readers; certainly no
paper has made such reputation in
this field.
The woman's page of the Boston Her.
aid contains the news of the fashion
world, which is contributed by expert
fashion writers in Paris, New York and
Boston, and Herald staff artists in these
great centres sketch the freshest ideas
in fashion lore. Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs
Martha Taft Wentworth furnish fresh
hints for the home, and recipes at once
new, reliable and practical. Home dress
making is one of the new features, anC
should afford great satisfaction to those
who prefer to design their own apparel
This page is but one feature of New
England's greatest newspaper. Ever,
other feature which has contributed tt
the great respect in which the Herald il
held, is maintained, at the high STANDARD
of excellence which has made it famous

A dispatch from Washington says
When the President formally invited
his cabinet to remain with him another
term, he meant something more. Office
holders. great and small, who are Civ
ing satisfaction in the discharge of their
duties are practically included in the
invitation to stay. There are to be no
removals except for good cause. The
only changes and appointments which
will occur will be those due to vacancies
on account of death or voluntary resig-
nation. Authority for this statement
comes from the White House. The
Presidents policy regarding patronage
was announced explicitly and definitely
in response to an inquiry made respect
ing it. Efficient officials holding com.
missions for stated terms will be reap
pointed. Those who are serving without
fixed tenure will continue without inter
ruption by the transition of the admin
stration from first to second term
This statement applies not alone tc
government officials in Washington. Il
will be the policy to continue postmas
ters. collectors, district attorneys, mar
shals and other federal officers through
the next term.
From the foregoing it would seen
that Col. Mansur will continue to be tn
Collector for the District of Memphre
magog, and that his deputy collector
and inspectors and other officers will b
retained.
