AN INSURANCE PRoBLFM.

Insurance Commissioner Cutting of Massachusetts has dealt with ques- tion which is of interest to all fire insurance companies and those whom they insure. He asks: Should company rendered insolvent by a fire first pay the losses, or should it first take from it's assets enough to reinsure its outstanding policies, and with the remainder settle with it's loss claim ants on a pro rata basis?" The com missioner declares that the sufferer by fire should receive first consideration, since it is for his benefit that insur- ance companies are formed. He says: "It is repugnant to a sense of fair dealing to first look after the inter ests of those who have suffered no loss, and afterward the interests of those who have perhaps lost their all in a conf1agration The commissioner thinks that if person were given the choice between two policies, one of which provided for the full indemnity purchased by his premium but for the loss of the unearned part of his pre- mium, while the other provided for part indemnity but gave the holder the right to demand the continuing of his policy for the specified time or the forfeiting of the unearned share of the premium, he would choose the one providing the full indemnity. He therefore recommends that this point be embodied into the law of the State. Of course there will be two opin-
 ions concerning this matter. But if such a policy is made as Commission
 CT Cutting suggests the insured will
 know what he is getting when he
 takes it.

 Thomas Davenport, blacksmith, of Brandon, Vermont, is credited with having first suggested the electric rail- read, although an Italian priest, Abbe : Salvatore de Negro, professor of nat i ural philosophy at the University of Padua, Is reputed to have designed an electric toy traction machine of the re- ciprocating type in 1880. Davenport ran a toy motor mounted on wheels on a small circular railway in 1884, exhibit ing this a year later at Springfield and i Boston, Mass. About half century passed, however, before the electric railroad was made practical
 Two districts in the corn belt contrib uted, as usual, the largest amount of internal revenue to the government during the last fiscal year. The large revenue receipts from these districts was due entirely to the manufacture of Whiskey The Fifth Illinois district, of which Peoria is the center, contributed to the Federal treasury $35,577,4SS in taxes on corn whiskey, and the Seventh Indiana turned in $1S,370,191.

General impression at Goodsprings is
that the reported pinching out of the

may have had some bearing on the
price paid, as the bond would not have
expired for nearly year.
This is the property recently aban
doned by J. =. Harvey, representing

1t is stated that there is plenty of ore
in sight and now that the deal has been
closed it Is probable the mine will
again become a shipper.

LURE OF GOLD
Miners 10 Make PerilOuS Trip
Down Colorado River

salt Lake Tribune saws three exper-
fenced miners. Bert Roper and Ed.
Monett OF Goldiield. and Charles Russell
/ of Prescott. AriZ., have determined to
undertake one OF the most perilous
tasks to be encountered in the United
States, that of Drawing the dangers OF
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in a
boat.
Specially constructed boats and equip
ment have been ordered in the east,
and as soon as the shipment arrives
the adventurers will begin the descent
from Green River. The trip will end
at THE Needles" 2l7 miles from the
starting point, and will be finished IN
about eleven months.
The trip il successful will result in
thorough exploration of the mineral
wealth of the canyon. Other persons
have attempted the journey, but it is
said that none of these have been sue
cessful Some met with an unknown
fate, while others became Cisheartened.
That the adventures are prepared to
encounter great hardships is evident
from the fact that they are familiar
with the disasters that have befallen
all of the parties that have attempted
TO run the canyon. The first successful
/ trip was made by James White in 1867.
White and a companion were prospect
/ ing in the CANYON OF the San Juan river,
when they we're attacked by Indians.
They built raft by lashing three logs
I together with their lariats. The next
day the raft was overturned and one OF
the men was drowned. White tied
himself to the raft, and after spending
/ fifteen days on the water was rescued
/ by the inhabitants of Callyille. He
/ had made one landing dnriAg the de-
scent and had secured some dog meat
| from Indians in exchange for his revol-
yer. When he was rescued he was
almost physical wreck.
Two years later, in 1869, j. W.
Powell organized an expiditiOn to ex-
plore the canyon. The party consisted
of II men, with four boats. When the
party had finished about two thirds Of
its journey three OF the men became
disheartened and deserted. They began
the return journey overland and it is
supposed that they were killed by the
Indians. The other members I'll the
party finished the journey to the mouth
Of the river
la 1872 the geological survey APP
propriatrd fund, and Powell con-
Quoted second party through the can
yon The trip WAS made III two years,
and Typographical maps of the country
were made.
Another attempt To run the canyon
was made by the party organized by
Mr.. Brown OF Denver. The expidition
was poorly equipped, and before much
progress had been made Mr.. Brown
was drowned. The next year Browns
chief engineer, Mr.. Stanton, organized
another expidition, and by proceeding
cautiously shot all the rapids and secur-
/ ed the desired information. Mr.. Stan
| ton maintains that railroad through
the Grand Canyon is practicable.

Funds From Forest Reserve

Amounts received by Nevada, through
the Government, from the various for
est reserves in the state are as follows:
Charleston reserve 1853. 40, Indepen-
dence $l,636.7O, Ruby Mountains $5,-
1855, Tahoe 81 7s5.0l, Toyable nothing.
Ten percent of the total amount re-
ceived from each reserve goes to the
county containing the reserve for school
and road purposes. Lincoln county will
thus receive nearly $1,000, from the
Charleston.

Borax railroad graders are only five
miles south OF Beatty and the rails
about ten miles behind.
A deal has been made between the
Brock and Borax railroad people,
whereby the two meet az Beatty, and
the roads practically become one.
The Electric Power Company has
been delayed in construction of the line
to the Shoshone mill, which is other

lst. before they begin to move wheels.
Weather cool and pleasant. Light

Coal Situation

From a complete review ot the coai
situation in the Salt Lake Tribune, II
appears that cruel scarcity OF coal IS
certain on the opening OF the cool
weather, and the great trouble in the
case is two-fold; First, the impossioll-
ity of getting coal miners enough TO Hig
out the coal; second, the insufficient
motive power on the railroads.
1t is evident that We are facing coai
scarcity more severe, with less prospect
of timely relief, than ever before.

STATEHOOD JOKE
Union Of Arizona and Nevada
Suggested

The latest suggestion OF statehood for
Arizona says Washington dispatch. is
to join that territory to the state of
Nevada and make one commonwealth
with total area of 233, ,725 square miles
and population OF l65, ,266, according
to the census OF 1890.
Such suggestion may be considered
seriously by the politicians, but by the
people of Nevada it will be considered
as a joke-and weak one at that.
The two areas are not geographically or
otherwise adapted to a union az one
state. Their boundaries come together
only for a short distance at extreme
corners, and most of that distance is
traversed by river gorge and mountain
range. There is at present no direct
two. Both now have thousands of
square miles Of territory difficult OF
access from within their own boundaries.
The union would aggravate these con-
ditions, making vast areas practically
inaccessible from other vast areas under
the 3ine State government.
Such state would be the longest
largest and most unwieldly in the
Union. The politicians may plan, but
the people OF Nevada will put the
"kibosh" on the proposition if it sur
wives long enough to reach the stage
where such action becomes necessary
Nevada is large enough and has diff
cultes enough to overcome as it stands
