THEY DON'T CARE.

So far as Arizona and Nevada are concerned the insurance com panies seem to have the business interests of the two commonwealths completely lover a barrel" The volume of business in either the state or the territory is not large, consequently the profit is not very great and the companies don't care whether they conduct business therein or not. So they tax a heavy premium for underwriting and threaten to withdraw from business and cancel all insurance if they cannot have things pretty much as they want them. In fact that is just what has been recently done in Nevada, and all on account Of law passed by the last legisla- ture which was demanded by the people, but which js obnoxious to the companies. The result has been paralysis to business credit within the state; aud many who sincerely desired enactment of the law now desires its repeal as sheer ely, and advocate special legisla- tive session to accomplish it.
 The legislative act making all this trouble is known as "the valued policy law" and its object is to put a stop to insurance companies talk ing money from policy holders for which they give no return and in- tend to give none when they write the policy. This the law seeks to do by providing that where the loss has been total the company shall pay the full face value of the policy and not take advantage of the two thirds clause which is incorporated therein, In other words this clause provides that in case of total loss the company shall not pay more than two-thirds of the actual value of the property destroyed. For ex- ample If an insurer pays for a policy of ST5oo upon house which cost that amount, in case of its de- struction by fire he can collect from the company only $I,ooo. They will collect premium on Sr5oo knowing that the insurer cannot collect that amount iu case of a tcta loss. In fact they make him carv one third the risk where he has paid hem to carry it all. The Nevada law says that ii they accept pay for carrying an entire risk they shall pay t sh hey lose. The companies .e.asea -c dc business inder the law, sa6 wat an the peop.e def Nebrssa .nected the

Anaconda, Aug. Sd. HI. Strain was the
victim of bicycle thief yesterday.
Saturday he received a new high grade
chainless wheel, and those who saw it
declared it to be one of the finest ma
chimes ever run on the streets of Ana
conda. Mr.. Strain was out riding with
it yesterday afternoon, and about 4
o'clock alighted at his place of business
on East Park street.
He stood the cycle up against the side
of the building and shortly afterwards,
when he went to look for it, it had dis
appeared.
The police and sheriff's Office was noti-
fed and the officers in Butte were asked
to keep watch for the wheel. Late last
evening Mr.. Strain received message
from the Silver Bow capital that man
had been arrested there while riding
wheel answering the description to the
one stolen here.
Mr., Strain left for Butte on the early
train this morning to see the wheel. he
identified it as his own, and the prisoner
was taken back to Anaconda. arralgned

Captain Phil Greenan some time ago
signified his intention Of going, but On
account Of pressure of business in his
department at the court house he has
been forced to give up the idea, but
several other members Of the order are
likely to go, including Captain John
ILallahan.
A letter has been received from Captain
Critchlow. formerly Of the Utah bat

the encampment closes. as he Is expect
ed to arrive in San Francisco in few
days and an effort Will be made to in
dnce him to stop of at Salt Lake City
atsleast day, while he is enroute east
