Fire Insurance for Shoe Dealers.

Michigan retail shoe dealers will
organize a mutual fire insurance COM
pany, and in part at least carry their
own risks. This was decided by an
unanimous vote at shoe mems con-
vention in Detroit.
George Bode of Fremont made an
address on insurance. He said that
mad the shoe dealers begun mutual
insurance five years ago they would
nave in a mutual insurance company
surplus OF $4,000, as shoe store
losses from fire in Michigan in five
years amounted to only IA per cent.
or the premiums paid in that time by
shoe men. Everybody stood ND when
Mr.. Bode asked who would take out
5000 policy in a mutual company.
1t was ordered that an attorney be at
once employed to prepare articles of
incorporation.
IL was resolved to take stems for
the organization of National Retail
Shoe Dealers association. This was
after Charles Weber of kalamazoo

According to an iron trade bulletin,
devoted to Mexican development, il
appears that the iron industry in that
country is capable OF wonderful expan.
sion, says the New York Financier.
The celebrated iron mountain of Du-
range, the Caro- del Mercado, is of
worldwide fame and it is claimed to
be one of the most valuable iron de.
posts in the world, both as to quality
and quantity. 1t is estimated to con.
tain 100000, 900 tons of 20 per cent. ore
above the level of the plains. There
is another mountain near the mouth
OF the Balsas river which is valuable
largely because Of its accessibility to
The sea and, therefore, to the markets
OF the world. This mountain is be.
heyed to contain over one billion me.
trio tons of ore low in phosphate and
averaging more than 60 per cent. of
iron. Other deposits in the mineral
regions of Mexico indicate possible
yields Of several hundred million tons
of high-grade ore, and along the Pacific
coast there are equally valuable de-
posits.

Judge Wiest's Decision Affirmed.

Inc supreme court has affirmed the
decision of Judge West OF this county
overruliRg the demurrer filed by the
SIX bonding companies which fur
hished the surety bond filed by former
state Treasurer Glazier to cover the
deposit of state money in the Chelsea
Savings bank. The court saws the
declaration filed by the state in the
SUIT instituted against these compa.
MES to collect under the bond is good
at least so far as the first term OF
Glazier as state treasurer. but adds
that 1t is a question for later deter.
mination whether the bonds covered
deposits made during his second
term.
Attorney General Bird started suit
against the Title and Guarantee Com.
pany OF Scranton. Pa, TO collect on
the Sl50,000 bond furnished by that
company to the state for Glazier as
state treasurer. The amount this COM
pany is liable for, however, cannot be
determined until after the suits
against the other six companies have
been finally decided.
