An INCREASE I'M RECEIPTS.
Report Of the State Insurance Com
missioner,


missioner.
The report of the state insurance
commissioner, which has just been is
sued, shows an increase of $15,167.S3
in the receipts of the department for
the last year. or this, about $4,000
was increase in taxes, while the bal
ance was in fee increase. The total
receipts Of the department for the year
were $37,625 for taxes, and $11,17S.10
for fees.
The report shows that I've new
companies have been admitted the
past year for the transaction Of busi-
ness; while five have withdrawn.
Certificates of authority have been re-
voked for two companies, and three
have been refused new licenses on
their applications.
The fire insurance business for the
year has been: Risks written, $780,
100, 745. 32; premiums received, $685.
$3.50: losses paid, S233, 361.48. This
leaves a balance of $685., 567.02 in favor
of the companies, over so per cent, out
of which to pay their agents and for
their profit.
The life companies did even better
than this out of the state last year.
While they wrote risks amounting to
"a, 1851, GA, they collected premiums to
the amount Of $~631,347.87, and paid
losses to the amount OF $1l0,354.24,
their losses paid being less than 20 per
cent of the premiums received, leaving
them over 81 ,000, 900 out Of which TO
pay their commissions to agents, and
out of which they certainly retained q
handsome profit.
The fraternity life companies doing
business in the state report a total OF
policies In force amounting to $62,9a0,-
$50, and payment Of losses amounting
to 1927, 500. 70; butt as not all reported
receipts, the showing of that column 10

Patents recently sent out by the
state land department to final purchas-

increasing, there has been no call for
a loan from the fund for over two
weeks.

SOUTH DAKOTA o
Damage 20 Corn Greater Than Was
Supposed.

NF~~
Supposed.
The weather during the week was
generally cool, with temperature OF 80
degrees or lower, over considerable of
the eastern portion Of the state on the
18th, and excepting some scattered
local showers, light except in some
generally dry and favorable for ripen-
ing corn that was not materially dam
aged by last weeks frosts, and for dry
ing that which was, by the frosts,
stopped in progress and seriously dam
aged.
Reports indicate that the damage
sustained by immature corn by last
weeks frosts was in some localities
somewhat greater than was supposed,
and the prospect is that q large pro-
portion of the crop will be soft or
chaffy, and that some of the latest will
be nearly worthless. There is, how
ever, considerable fairly good to good
corn; but that which escaped injury
appears to have been less than half
the crop. Some matured cor is being
picked In scattered southeastern fields,
and cutting for fodder Is in progress in
many localities.
The %threshing of wheat, oats and
barley, although slightly hindered by
winds, and a little, locally, by rains,
has progressed favorably and Is gen.
orally far advanced, with generally
satisfactory yields, especially OF oats
and BARLEY, which T yielding n
sually We'll. Reports indicate that
wheat, ON the whole, will yield above
the average. There is some of the
grain that, while yet in shock, was af-
fected in quality by rains in the latter
part of August; but that which was
then in stack is, apparently, generally
turning out in very good condition.
There is still a little fax to be cut
in the northern counties. That which
has been threshed has given fair to
good yields; but the late fax is gen.
orally poor. Not much threshing has
been done.
Haying has progressed favorably,
and reports indicate that while the
frosts injured second.growth grass to
some extent. the damage, on the whole
was not material. Pastures are dry
but sufficient.
Early potatoes, which were general
ly a good crop. are being gathered rap
idly. Late potatoes are not so good,
and in a number of localities are a
light crop.
Fall blowing has progressed well,
especially in the southern sections;
but in the northern counties the soil
is getting a little too dry.
The injury to range grass by frosts
appears to have been slight. Live
stock continues in fine condition, with
a prospect of ample winter pasturage
on the ranges.

GREAT CROP.

Small Grain In Western South Dakota.
The yield of small grain this year ia
the heaviest known In the western
part of South Dakota, particularly on
the upland or irrigated ranches. The
Cnreshing season has opened, and sew
eral crews are busy in the valleys.
The oats yield will average almost
fifty bushels per acre for the entire
valley region. This Is a stroke or for
ture for the farmers, as oats are bring
ing a cent and a half a pound at whole
sale in Deadwocd and Lead, and 1t IL
impossible to overload the market. A
Meade county farmer threshed $500
bushels of wheat from a tract OF 100
acres. This was thresher measure,
and 1t Is estimated that he has fully
1000 bushels. Wheat is of a superior
quality this year, being of a particular
hardness and not being affected by
smut. Corn was injured by frost, and
most of It il being cut for fodder, al
though some of 1t has matured sum
GENTLY for feed.

Chicago Men Organize a New Compa-
ny With 100000 Capital.
The purchasers of the Benedict and
Yellow Bird group Of claims In Horn
blende camp, near Rockford, have or
ganiZed the Golden West Mining com
with a capital of $4,000, 900. The
company is composed almost entirely
OF Chicago men, and the officers are:
]. H. Fisher, president; Charles e. Cur.
tbs, vice president. e. ]. Kennedy, cec-
rotary and j. H. Caldwell, treasurer.
The company has purchased 300
acres OF mining ground, including the
Benedict and Yellow Bird group, and
several other claims intervening and
adjacent. There Is a Chilean mill on
the Benedict group. A shaft was be-
ing sunk OF an incline, and the ore
taken from the shaft more than paid
for the development Of the ground.
The Golden West company intends to
keep the quartz mill running, and will
begin an extensive system of develop
ment, using the mill as q means of as
c%ertaining the relative value of the
ore from the different veins In process
of development, thereby keeping check
On what is being done.
The Benedict ground shows one Of
the strongest lodges of free-milling and
concentrating ore in Pennington coun-
ty. The development work OF the
past has not been of an effective ma.
ture, and the lodges have not been
opened up to any depth. The Yellow
Bird was at n time under bond to
Eastern men. Among those interest
ed was James X, Racket, the actor
and matinee idol. Tn ework they did
was Of a desultory character, and moth
ing of Importance was accomplished.

will be in charge of the operations of
the Golden West company.
A discovery of quartzite ore has
been made in the shaft of the Gold Hill
Mining company, in Spearish canyon,
at a depth of $50 feet. 1t is not known
yet how extensive the chute is, but 1t
assays well and is apparently a strong
body. This is the first ore discovered
ON quartzite in the Spearish canyon,
and it is regarded as an important de-
velopment.

the eradication of the pest without the

by experts that the best means of get.
ting rid of the beetle will be to cut
down and remove the bug-infested
trees before May, and to peel the bark
from the stumps, which will destroy
the young and the eggs from which 5le
beetles are Matched.
