LOSSES ARE SMALL
RECEIVER SEXTON HOPEFUL OVER
 OUTLOOK.
Assets of Defunct Insurance Companies Amount to se0O, OO0-Deputy Com- missioner Thinks Adjustment
 Will Rt Satisfactory.

Deputy Insurance Commissioner A. c. Sexton, who Is co-reveiver of the Atlanta Birmingham Fire Insurance Company, and the Prudential Insurance Company of West Virginia, returned yesterday from Atlanta, where he has of Judge Newman.
 Captain Sexton returns much encoura aged with the prospects of the Alaba@ ma policy holders, who, he believes. will not suffer much loss. The receiv CTS found that the companies had s600,- 900 in assets and these assets were in fifst-class securities.
 It was not an easy matter to ascer- tain the liabilities of the companies. They are not definite. Tn the first placo, they depend upon the San Francisco losses which brought the company on the financial rocks. These same San Francisco losses have not yrt been ad- justed. Part Of the liabilities. too, are what might be called the un- earned premiums" which are due tho policy holder These, too. are indeh- mite. It is therefore. a matter of dtiii- cultv to determine the ainoun5 of the Liabilities that will be placed against the assets of the two companies.
 But the Alabama Insurance Commits sioner Is convinced that the financial outlook for the Alabama policy holdr CTS is now much brighter than 1t was some time ago.
 Captain sexton was accompanied to Atlanta by Thomas W. Martin, clerk to the Attorney General, who repre- sented the State of Alabama in the le- gal proceedings. It will be recalled that Captain Sexton was named receiV- or of the Atlanta Birmingham Fire In- purance Company by Judge A. D. Sayre of the City Court Of Montgomery. In Atlanta, at the same time, proce"1ings were instituted against both the Att lana -Birrnfnghtam Company and the Prudential insurance Company or west Virginia, a eorroilAry company.
 A rather strong legal fight was nade in the courts in wrich Mir. Martin anu 1,antain Sexton stoutty contended' Tor kiabama's rights The fight resulted in the transfer of the receivership pro ceedings to the United States Circuit Court of the Northern Dixision or Georgia, Judge Newman presiding. J. T Dargan, former president of the Att Company. and Cap tain Sexton were appointed joint re- ceivers of the two companies with equal powers. The securities and as- sets of the two companies to the anoount of Ss00,00e are now in charge of the joint receivers.
 A force oe expert clerks is now go- ing over the books of the company to losses of the companies in San Fran

PRAISE FOR PRISON
GOVERNOR TALKS or FLAT TOP
 AND PRATT.
After Visit of inspection to Mines, Chief Exeea.ive Lands work of
 Men In Charge--Lights
 Are Poor.

Governor wiiiiam D Jelks, yesterday discussed a brief visit of inspection he made the State prisons for convicts last Sunday at Flat Top and Pratt Mines. The Governor was partieulariy impressed with the fact that out of the several hundred men in those prisons, not one was i'll and in the hospital.
 The Governor went out to the pris- ons near Birmingham Sunday, accom- panied by Mrs. T. Fl. Cabaniss, Mrs. John Tomlison, Jones Moore, ]. w Me- Queen and Robert D. Jefks. The Gov ernor's object was to get a final per- sonal view of the operations of the convict system before the expiration of his term as Governor. The establish ment of the new system of working State convicts is regarded as one oi the principal achievements of the Jeiks administration. Tn the informal visit, the Governor found the lighting facilities the Flat Top Mines were not the best in the world. and because of the dim lights in the mine, one or more eonvicts had escaped. Reforms are. however. being made in this feature of the mine. The Governor was not entirely satis- tied that the water supply at Flat Top was Gall that could be desired The cells of the prisoners, ia the opinion of the Governor, were not as clean as they should be, but it was explained that his sudden visit was made on Sunday, day on which the couvicts are kept In their cells, and the cells are not cleaned out.
 These were the only minor com piaints to be found in very thorough examination of the large prison and convict mine. The Governor was spe- cially impressed with the excelience 0f the sanitary. conditions, and is of the opinion that too much praise cannot be given the men who brought about these excellent health conditions.

GoldfeId Gold Almost Pure.

While in this city a few days ago,
ex- Governor Colcord, superintend-
ent of the mint, at Carson, made the
statement to a BONANZA representa-
tive that the gold received at the
mint from Gold6eld is the finest in
the world. I'm fact its purity is re-
markable, said the Governor. "Ev-
cry bar has a 6~neness better than 20
and 20.23 bars from there are not
uncommon. In one instance we re-
ceived a bar from the camp having a
fineness of 20. So; pure gold is 20. 81.
What Goldfeld needs is more mills.
To my mind not a pound of ore SHOULD
be allowed to leave that camp. The
oxides which pertain to a depth o
from 100 to 200 feet, where they ar,
superseded by the blue sulphides
are readily treated under the stamp
and believe that the reduction an,
a cyanide process will treat bot
classes of rock successfully.

Ely a Great Copper Camp.

Mr.. E. Hales, proprietor of the
Nevada Market at Gold6eld, arrived
in Tonopah Sunday night, on his way
home after having spent a week at
Ely, the great copper camp. He
predicts great things for that Sec
ton and says that as soon as the rail-
road is completed into the district,
which will be about June lst, it will
assume an air OF Importance and will
enter upon an era of great prosper
ity. Though Ely is one of the old
producers of pioneer days, it has
been practically dead for a great
many years. 1t has now taken on a
new lease OF life and gives every
promise Of becoming mi of the great.
est copper camps in the land. The
principal company operating there
at present is the Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper Company, which has a
capitalization of 1900, 900 shares, Of
a par value of $40. The company
combined the New York, Nevada
and White Pine, all rich properties.
J.. Parke Claiming, in his report
upon the property, estimated a pros
pectlve output Of from 5000, 600 to
6, 900, 900 tons of ore and advised the
erection of a thousand ton mill to
treat it. f. w. Bradley, president
of the Alaska Treadwell Company
and consulting engineer of the Con-
solidated, made the statement in
Boston recently that developments
in the last three months have demon
strated a tonnage Of from $4,000, 900
to 10, 900, 900 tons, or three times
Mr.. Channing's estimate. AS a re-
suit of new ore developments the
Nevada Consolidated company has
decided to build the first unit OF its
proposed new mill, 800 tons instead
of 1000.
The Giroux Consolidated Mines
company is lanother great corpora
ton. 1t owns 1000 acres of proven
copper territory adjoining the New
ada. Joseph Giroux, the principal
owner, is the father of the camp.
1t was he who discovered the United
Verde and brought it to Senator
Clark. Up to within a few years
ago he was manager of the United
Verde at a salary of $50, 900 pei
annum and left this position Of his
own accord to develop his own prop
critics at Ely.
