MONIES FINANCIAL CONDITION.

statement prepared by committee represent ing that portion of the city knlw the Seventh ward, having especial reference to mu- nicipal affairs is worthy of comment. It shows that the monthly pay roll of the cit, of Nome, at the present time amount, to the snug sum of s1 ,SS5.00, while the general expense, which
 includes electric lights, fire department mess, coal, hay and feed for the fire department and ndigent poor brings the total up to $243O CO., aggregatng an annual expenditure approximately $3O,OOO. These figures represent ony the actual cost of maintaining the city government, and 1t Is pointed out does not
 include repairs to public streets, printing, election expenses, extra police service during the summer months extra force in assessing city property collect ing delinquent taxes, nor the payment of money for public uses; S300O per month, aggregatng $36,O0O per year is approXemae estimate of the ctys an nual disbursements.
 It ought to be apparent to the most indifferent that the city long endure burden of this kind. It is too heavy to be borne The present civic indehted is in the neighborhood of $300O0 which is bear ing interest it should, at eight per cent per annum. The question therefore that confronts the people of Nome that is those who take real interest in the citys welfare, is: What shall be done to reduce the expenditures that they will reach the level of the citl'S income? Maniftsiy the pruning knife must be applied right vigorously or hopeless bankruptcy and repudiaton will be the result. There two horns to the dilemma there usually are. Either
 he town of Nome must get along on very small and insignificant scale so to speak orit must declare itself bankrupt There will be no need to take hold oi the latter horn, however, if little plain common business sense and prudence be brought into play The ordinary man of business will reduce his penses according to his income And this the city must do We do not, however, advocate the meal ticket plan. Better have two good officials and pay them cash salary than have four five living from hand to mouth' city warrants.

SOME PLAIN WORDS.

Senator Geo. b. Schotield at political meeting on the Sandspit on Monday night gave utterancc to 8 whole lot of good, sound common sense He was speaking with especial reference to the probable visit of congressional delegation to Nome this coming summer. He told what the people of the town in the Gray- Harbor country had accomplished with the aid of congressional delegation, which visited that section several years ago, simply berause they had anticipated the visit of the delegation and were pre- pared to receive them The people did not wait ur.- til the delegation had arrived, and then rush down to the wharf or railroad depot and give them the glad hand, and bashfuly tell them how glad they were to welcome such distinguished visitors. The people had their plan Of campaign mapped out; they had their facts and statlestcs prrpared they knew just what they wanted and how to ask for it. There was a one ness of purpose which always wins it did in the cited.
 Now what the people of Nome going to do about it? We assume that it is reasonably certain that congressional delegation will visit Nome. What then? Shall we still continue to be apathec aud when the delegation arrives give hem a anguid wei come, and let them root such information as the, can, shall we beslir ourselves and tell them and show them that we have the great est gold producing country in the world give them facts and figures tell them of our needs and requirements; show them how we have been neglected; point to the nadequacy of our laws, and hint at Congressional neglect; prove them that are as good American citizens as eyer the sun shone on; that know both how to do and dare; that we have been neglected long enough and our wrongs cry loudly for redress. If we shall do this in intelligent way, we will be heard But will we do it

The city records show that tht sum of $293 in cash was collected or account of poll taxes last year. I, is only fair to say, however, that this does not include those whC performed labor on the streets il,- stead of paying cash.

o. D. Cochran, attorney, last Saturday in an arg ument for new trial in the case of Webb vs Malley
 commenced his argument by saying: Like certain
 vituIeratve and backbting editor of this town, counsel for defendant has injected into the argument in this what never in it." While TIE NUG- GET does not know what particular 'editor' o. D. Cochran, attorney referred to- it will make the gen. erai cause of the editors its own, this occasion, and will say that nothing has been injected into the Webb vs Maley case, so far as it knows, by any ed itor. THE NUGGET referred to the merely as matter of news. One of it's contemporaries referred to 'report" that the evidence relating to the first location ruled out, because the word Alaska did not appear in the location notice Any such rel ort to he ruling out of evidence erroneous, but it had foundation in the fact that the location notice of the first locator ruled out by the court because It did not contain the word Alaska.

dormant for years, not because the ore bodies in the mines had been exhaust ed, but owing to the appearance of such enormous quantities of water that no one of the companies operating there could afford to handle it alone, and the inability of the various enter prises to agree on an equitable dis tribution of the expense necessary in providing and operating an efficient pumping plant All the important properties of the district are now owned by one company and the work going on in Tombstone indicates a wonderfully active camp instead of a dead one.
 We win all welcome the expansion of. our agricultural industry. as a means of adding great wealth to Ari- zona. but should that expansion be long in coming no one need be uneasy about the continued growth and pros perity of the territory, which can be supported by our mines for genera tions to come.

LIFE INSURANCE.

A statement of the business done last year by the old line life insur- ance companies contains some big figures. y n
 The report shows that during the year payments were made on policies in 9,333 different localities in the Uni ted States and Canada and that the to- tai amount paid out on these policies for the year was s234.7ss, ,SS1.
 In addition to the foregoing pay ments. about s15.OOO,OOO was paid to benefciaries in foreign countries for matured claims, and about s5,O0O, 900 to annuitants everywhere Texas got s4.si5,76 of the total. New Mex ico got s345,551 and Arizona got ssss.614, of which s142,6S6 went to parties residing in the city of Phoenix.
 More than ten thousand millions of dollars of life insurance is carried by the people in the standard life insur- ance companies alone. And there are persons who estimate that the face of the certificates issued by the assess ment and fraternal societies aggre- gate almost an equally large sum, says the report
 The accumulated resources of the standard companies are considerably in excess of two thousand million dol lars, which is invested in parcels all over the country.
 There never was a time when life insurance was so popular as it is to- day with the people of the United States. The increasing popularity of life insurance as an investment and protection for dependent families or relatives. may be partly accounted for by the fact that in recent years policies have been provided with special investment features. Where as, fifteen or twenty years ago, life in surance policies were seldom seen outside of the wealthy class, now few men having families are without in- surance on their lives in one form or another.
 Could the total amount of insurance carried by the residents of Bisbee be ascertained the same would astound those who never give the matter any special attention. One agent of a prominent old line company placed last year in this city more than one hundred thousand dollars in life in surance in policies ranging from one to five thousand dollars, nearly every one being taken by men working for wages. This was the work of only one of more than a dozen life ipsur- ance agents who worked in Bisbee at various times last year. Then again, nearly all of the secret orders, of which there are many and strong lodges in Bisbee. provide insurance to their members.
