High Insurance Rates.

Newark Ledger.
VIII some gentleman explain the
cause of the great increase in the rate
Of fire insurance7 The increase has
been so rapid that there must be a
reason for It. We want to know We
also believe many Of our readers want
to know. There is a cause The cause
should be known by the people. Three
years ago the rate of insurance on
$1,000 was $500 for three years. To-day
the rate for $1,000 for one year is $3.50.
A big difference. sure. The cause for
this the people want 10 know. and as
the insurance companies are honest in
business ii should enlighten its
patrons. IF anyone can giveus the infor
nation viii win gladly appreciate the
fact Information is wanted by many
who find the present rate of insurance
high-very high. AS long as the rate
remained reasonable nc objection was
raised, but when the increase began
wonder was expressed as the cause,
and as II kept climbing patrons want
to know the reason.
We hope TO be able TO enlighten our
readers on this subject The rate may
not be high according to business
methods OF insurance companies, and
IL so. want to know it. All we want
is the facts. The people want to
know why they have to pay three
times as much now as in 1905?

AS some Of the big public service corporations
have merged in Baltimore, an agitation has been
started for new telephone company to secure a
new franchise which would mean filling the
streets with poles and all that is necessary for a
telephone company.
Having had experience in this connection,
many Baltimoreans are opposed to the granting
of additional franchises for public service pur-
poses. The Baltimore News does not believe that
the people would be benefited. 1t declares tha
the only hope for Baltimore is the appointing of "A
Public Utilities Commission to regulate the pub
lie service corporations and fix fair rate. That
is the proper method. But even should Public
Utilities Commission be named there would be
some difficulties. 1t would depend upon the men
on such a commission whether the commission
would be of real benefit The decision to have a
commission might mean merely an opportunity to
furnish positions for politicians out Of Jobs The
experience of the Public Utilities Commission in
New Jersey, a State over which the corporations
have held sway, has not been happy
But Baltimore should try the commission plan
before granting more franchises for new public
service corporations which, after brief existence,
would surrender to the old companies and the
people would have to foot the expense.

In foreign countries, yet the people
living In Delaware have to pay them
rent for living on the land in Della

more they get as rent the less will
be left IN Delaware? For what goes
out Of the State as rent there is
nothing coming back. and as it is paid
for living on the land. they do not
give you anything in return for IL;
therefore they continually take some
thing away and bring nothing back.
and in consequence Delaware must be
poorer.
Now II the State would take this
rent 10 pay the expenses Of running
our state. It would not need to tax
our manufacturers, our buildings and

paying on improvements would b

tween labor and capital Then labor
would be able to buy more Of the

get more interest on its investments

SALT LAKE MEN IN NEW

last spring. after the change in man
agement in the May Day company, II.
NJ. Eakin, the old superintendent of the
property. went to Nevada on a prospect
ing trip. He finally landed in the Belle
helen district, about fifty miles straight
east of Tonopah and bordering the IA
nous old Reveille camp, and got hold of
proposition that looked good to him.
He sent in some samples of ore to his
associates on this end and the result was
that a little syndicate was formed to
take over the ground and do some devel-
opment work. The results have been out
of the ordinary, and yesterday a corpora
ton was formed to handle the property
in regulation fashion.
Since taking hold there has been about
81 900 spent and Mr.. Eakin states that
there is now a shaft down about fifty
feet and a tunnel in a distance of over
quartz orphyry dyke that runs through
the four claims turned over to the new
company. and some exceedingly rich sill
ver-voId ore has been taken out The
best values were found on the hanging
wall side of the dyke and ii was there
that the shaft was put down. Rather
than meet the expense of installing a
hoist a tunnel was started that has cut
the DIXIE from the footwall side at ii
depth of approximately 80 feet below the
surface To reach the hanging wall side,
where the ore makes this tunnel will
have to be advanced from twenty TO
thirty feet farther, and that work is to
be taken UP and pushed just as soon as
Mr. Fakfn can get back to camp, for
which he will leave during the next few
davs In the shaft they have had as
much as five feet of ore ta0t would carry

the authorization of a new stock issue,
incident to an issue of s3,OO0,C00 per cent
convertible bonds. 1t is the intention to
issue only 100000 of the bonds. The
proceeds will be used to increase the
Smelling and concentrating capacity of
the company. The company also has in
its treasury 100000 shares of Cumberland
Ely stock, which. figured at so a share
would give it $2000000 additional capital
President Charles NJ. Mcneil, Judge

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Weeks Trading Has Been the Best
in d Long Time.

1t is a good while since trading was as
lively as it has been on the local ex-
change during the past week. During the
six days a total of 6J7, Az shares of stock
with a selling value of $3.50. $50 .03, changed
hands, yesterdays proportion of the to-
tails being $3.50 shares and S192l2 %. Some
of the stocks that were sprinting at such
a lively clip earlier in the week have re-
acted somewhat, but the market is in a
strong, healthy condition just the same.
1t is broader than it has been for three
months or more and while halts are to
be expected from time to time, the gen
eral level is going to be higher a great
deal higher than it is at the present time
when the mines resume operations and
the earning of dividends is again the rule.

the name of the association, the names OF
the officers and other members of the
executive committee, together with the
articles Of association, has been gotten

these will be mailed by tht secretary OF
the association, accompanied by member
ship blanks, etc, and any one interested
may obtain copies by requesting through
the mails or otherwise. A letter from
Secretary H S. Joseph Will accompany
the literature, reading as follows:
Dear Sir: Herewith find copy OF

OLD EVERGREEN is
MAKING A COPPER MINE

Manager H. G. Mcmillan of the Old
Evergreen companys properties at the
head of Big Cottonwood canyon states
that work is steadily progressing in the
lower tunnel, which is now in a distance
of more than 500 feet in the direction of
the big ore bodies that have been opened
in the upper tunnel In these workings
a thirty-foot ledge carrying better than
per cent copper and some gold, with
about &c per cent irOn has been opened
for over $50 feet and when the lower tun-
mel connects with this ore body there will
be over 400 feet of STOPPING ground be-
tween, the two levels, or more than $50
feet to the surface.
1t has been fully demonstrated in the
older workings that the ore extends clear
through to the surface and Manager Nc
MILAN says that one of these fine DAYS
it will be proved that the Old Evergreen
is entitled to rank with the big copper
mines of the state

sensational values have been taken from
Selected rock in the shaft, and also from
small stringers that have been coming IN
as the tunnel has been pushed through
the ledge below. II is confidently expect
ed that good bodies of fine ore will be
encountered before much more work has
been done, as sylvanite is now making in
the stringers referred to.
The new corporation is to be known as
the TOmahawk Mining company, capital
lied for 100000 shares, 81 par, with 400
600 shares in the treasury. H NJ. Eakin
is designated as president and general
manager; p. A. SOrensOn, vice president;
J. Z. Darmer, secretary and treasurer
the other directors being +. A. ShOntz
of Eureka, A. J. Lowe, H. w Horne and
II. J. Cook. 1t is to be a Nevada cor
pOration and main headquarters will be
at Tonopah. while the branch office and
the office in which practically all of the
business of the company will be done will
be here at Mr.. Darmer's headquarters.

BILE smelter rates for the ore producers
of the state, and to promote friendly re-

Whereas, The smelterS now operating

plated its moral and, if necessary its
financial support"
The railroad committee, as soon as or
ganized by Chairman Snyder, will take
up the question of railroad transportation
rates in all the camps, and the other sub
committees will get busy as occasion de-
mands. A resolution was adopted and re-
ferred to the committee on legislation
