DER CO., CHICAGO.
During the six months ending June
80, 1903, policy holders of The Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York
residing in Arizona received the sum
of s43, 861. This large amount does
not include sums paid in Arizona for
rent, taxes, salaries, medical examin-
ations and the like, but is exclusively
money in settlement of claims. The
total payments of the company for the
same period amounted to over Sl2,-
273, 600, sum more than sufficient to
pay all the legislative salaries and ex-
penses of the United States for the
fiscal year 1902, or to purchase the to-
tai coinage of all the United States
minis in dimes, quarters and half
dollars for the entire year ending
June 80, 1902.
Science church in this city are max
ing arrangements to have Judge Ew-
ing, of Chicago, deliver a lecture on
Christian Science in Prescott some
time early IN the month of January.
1t will be remembered Judge Ewing
was to have delivered lecture in this
city last winter but he was unable to
meet the engagement so will come
here this winter. Judge Ewing was
for many years one of the leading
lawyers of the city of Chicago, but for
some years has been devoting most of
his time to the lecture platform for
Christian Science. His lecture will
be one of the finest ever delivered in
the city as he has a wide reputation
as a most impressive talker, having
Major LeavelI informs the Journal
Miner that he has again sent in a re-
QUESTION to Washington for new rifles
and carbines for the Arizona National
Guard. He has been working on this
ever since last March and this is the
third requisition he has sent in; but
he feels sure that the requisition will
be granted this time as it was sent in
at the request of the government.
The requisition was for 375 of the
latest improved army guns to take the
place of the old fashioned Springfields

tional guard are now equipped. The
major reports having received a COM
munication from Winslow that they
are talking of organizing a company
at that place.
w. T. Hall, the machinist, has been
experimenting on a steel covering for
bicycle tires which would make the
tires absolutely puncture proof <+and
every nearly indestructible. The cover
ing consists of thin sheet of steel
about two inches wide which is bent
by machine he has constructed, so
as to fit over bicycle tire. The COW
ering is put over the tire when the
wind is out ana when the tire is !
up tight it fits the steel Gov
ering snugly. The invention is not |
perfected as he expects to have it
soon, but it looks like the steel cover
ing would be great thing especially |
for road work or where a wheel is sub
jected to hard, rough riding.
