WORK ON THE WELL.
Derrick Being Raised and Site for the
Well Selected.

Yesterday MIR. Gray the contractor,
who will drill the well at the plaza
commenced the preliminary work. The
big timbers for the derrick were haul
ed onto the lawn on the north side
and the work Of setting up the pom
derous affair is progressing. 1t Is fig
ured that it will take several days
to put the timbers into position, and
when it is ready for business the tow
er will be nearly as high as the CAPT.
toll building itself. The point selected
for the drilling of the well is just
beyond the end of the timbers and is
marked by a small peg, where it is
believed that a flow of water can be
encountered.
The rig is the largest ever brought
to the State and looks like business.
When work begins it is to be cOntia-
ued until the contract is finished.
Is to be up from the time the first
whistle blows, as three shifts of mea
will be worked at eight hours each.
In this manner the well will be rush.
ed to completion as fast as possible.
A great many people believe that it
is a mistake to operate where the
plant is situated, as it destroys the
grass and some of the shrubbery
As a matter of fact grass can be re
planted and grown before the summer
is over and as Lieutenant GOvernc-
Allen says the intent of the law IS
not only to get water for the building
but to show the visitor that artesian
water is possible in this valley
Should the we'll prove success il
will do more for this section than any
one venture ever undertaken.
1t is believed that the casing for the
we'll will be here as soon as the tower
is in position when active operation:
will commence.

TIE PACIFIC MUTUAL
Lie Insurance Cnmpany of California
Organized 1858 ON "'0Id Line" Plan.

Read what one who is recognized au-

late the magazines and daily papers
have had much to say by way Of c1iti-
cism of certain Life Insurance Compa-
MES, and especially with regard to the
Legal Organization OF such Companies,
and of the manner Of their control.
These CRITICISMS do not apply to
The Pacific Mutual, but DEMON
STRATE the Truth of the Assertion
that "for PoLICY-HOLDERS The
Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal
organization. It is not controlled by
ONE or Two men, having no pecuniary
interest or responsibility save as policy
holders, ~ -ecipients Of salary; But it
is cont led by a BOARD Of fifteen
Directors, not mere dummies, but Stock
holders in their own right, holding
large amount of the Company's stock,
and Policyholners as well. The Direc-
tors of the Company are men of high
Financial and Commercial standing, and
are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for
the acts of the Officers of the CORPO-
RATION.
tThe Company has capital stock Of
$500, 600 Fully paid up in GOLD coin,
but while this Capital and ti;e Stock
holders responsibility afford to Policy
holders the GREATEST possible secur-
ity, it Costs participating Policyholders
NOTHING, but every dollar paid into
the Company by them and the ACCU-
MUTATION thereon, is applied 10
their BENEFIT. There is - Other
LIFE INSURANCE COMPAN 7 trans
acting business in America whose Pol
icyholders, by Legal enactment, are so
