VALUE OF INSURANCE HOLDINGS.
Commissioners Will Try to Arrange Some
Basis for Securities

Hartford. Nov 90 (SpeciaD.-Insurance Com
missioner Macdonald. the first few months Of
whose official life have been attended with a
larger number Of emergencies than is usual for
insurance commissioners. is to meet Superin-
tendent Kelsey of the New York state insur-
ance Department and other insurance commits
sioners in New York this week TO discuss the
question Of a basis for the valuation of securi-
ties which will be listed by the insurance COM
panies on the last day Of next month. Colonel
Dutton Of Virginia; Commissioner Rttenhouse,
Of Nebraska and others will he at the confer
cnce which is to be largely informal and is the
result of a suggestion made a couple OF weeks
ago when the fate Of the HItna Indemnity Com
pany was being considered.
The laws of the states which are at the front
i'm the control of insurance companies agree in
the requirement that these stocks and bonds
which are put up TO maintain the reserves shall
be valued at their market price. but they do not
AL make the same stipulation as to the exact
meaning Of that term. Therein lies the diff
Guilty which confronts the commissioners. Tho
Connecticut law says market value within a
reasonable time" That would make it possible
for Colonel Macdonald TO put his own construc-
ton on what a reasonable time was. In times
like these he would not consider the market
value of a stock bond any single day a
fair standard. His idea is that the state of the
market for perhaps two or three months ought
to be taken into consideration and a fair aver
age price taken. Even then, conditions are such
that it might be necessary for many securities

Development al The Mabel Tunnel.

The company operating the Mabel
tunnel ip lower Russell mining district
is doing extensive development work
and the tunnel is looking better with
every stroke of the pick. In all the
breast of the tunnel is about 600 feet
from sun light and at distance of 300
feet large room was excavated and an
engine placed in the same for the sink
ing of the mine, or rather winze. This
mine is now down a distance of about
200 feet and the object is to strike the
Mayflower vein which is owned by the
same company and seems to dip into the
Mabel vein at low depth. At about
this point a cross-cut is being driven to
intersect the same vein. When this is
caught by the shaft, raising will be
commenced and at the same time a
Wine will be sunk on the same from
the cross-cut to develop the mine in
good shape. Some of the highest val
ues found in this section of the country
have come from the Mabel and it is ex-
pected when this vein is cut big values
from the ore taken out will result.
Steve Harper is looking after this prop
erty for the owners.
