EXPLANATION IS
NOT SATISF ACTORY
Insurance Actuary Tells
Why Ell PasO's Insurance
Rate Is Higher.

The complaint of FL Pasoans that
their insurance rates are higher now
than before the new key rate, which
was generally supposed would make
the rates lower, is explained in a letter
from E. B, ROulets state fire insurance
actuary.
At the, meeting of the chamber of
commerce board OF directors the many
complaints of insurance payers resulted
in a letter from the chamber to Mr..
Roulet at Austin, asking the why's and
wherefores of the condition. At the
meeting of the chamber Friday after
noon. the actuary's letter was read,
and was in effect as follows:
Under the 1910 general basis sched-
ule and state fire rating board law an
arbitrary reduction OF p percent on
mercantiles and 10 percent on special
hazards was ordered The 1911 Texas
general basis schedule, as prepared BY
the state insurance board, cancelled the
arbitrary reduction named above and
if your honorable mayor and city COM
mission had not made necessary i'm
provements in the fire protection OF
your city so as to reduce the key rate
the rates would have been approx
mately Is to IS percent higher than
the present published rates in the
schedule of fire insurance rates for FL
Paso.
''The records of the state insurance
department show that the Is TO p per-
cent arDlIrdry reductions pIOouCtu ull-
reasonably low rates so that the fire
insurance companies lost money, and as
the state insurance board law provides
that reasonable rates, that is reasona-
Bile to the assured as well as to the
insurance companies, should prevail
hence the elimination of the arbitrary
reduction.

L. a. Reid, who owns q goodly share
OF Twin Peaks stock, is an expert Pho
tOgrapher, owning three studios IN Ce-
dar Rapids. He visited the Clear Lake
mill an dalso the Apache Box gold
mill and also the views here given
of the mill and of the Twin Peaks
mine and it environments.
The company owns two groups Of
claims in that district, one covering
the gold belt around Twin Peaks butte
and the other, the copper territory in
Dark Thunder mountain, three miles
distant.
Twenty-Seven Claims.
The gold group comprises p claims,
q Of which are on the New Mexico side
of the district and two of which are
in Arizona, and four OF which are in
both states. Fifteen claims are To-
Gated from southeast to northwest
along the big vein, a Hneal distance
of 1a000 feet or nearly three miles in
continuous length, and the rest are To-
Gated alongside of and parallel to
them The gold group covers 567 acres
of ground. The. copper claims cover
nine claims or 1S9 acres. Thus the COM
pany owns 756 acres in this rich min
eTal belt One single claim in Cripple
Creek has yielded several millions Of
dollars, and the vast holdings Of Twin
Peaks company, it is thought, should
also yield millions, considering the
values in the big lode.
Development Work.
The total development work done on
the gold group amounts to 1888 feet
consisting of shafts, drifts, crosscuts
and tunnels These extend for thou
sands of feet along the surface Of the
vein; from southeast to northwest; and
all show milling ores, carrying gold
and silver. The chief development has
been done at the southeastern end of
the lode and on the Golden Eagle and
Gold Crown claims at the foot of Twin
Peaks butte. The Free Gold shaft is
265 feet deep. At the 100 foot level a
drift extends southeast 200 feet and
exposes shoot Of high grade sulphides,
four to seven feet wide and 40 feet
long, averaging S25 per ton. In the
same level a drift northwest go feet
is in ore from two to Il feet wide Of
oXidiZed ore, averaging So per ton.
IN the 200 foot level the drifts show
pay streaks three to six feet wide, of
oxidized ore and sulphides, running all

Big Porphyry Dixie.
West o. this shaft, about 90 feet is a
big porphyry dixie toward which the
vein dips. It is believed that at the
point of junction below there will be
found a large body of ore and that
the dixie will be enriched by mineral
ization. This is calculated to be 400
feet below the surface.
Northwest Of the last mentioned
shaft 1900 feet, is the work shaLl;
165 feet deep, and at the 100 foot ieVei
is a drift northwest Of Is feet showing
the vein 10 feet wide averaging IS per
ton; and the drift southeast IS 50 IeeL
long and y feet wide, giving about
the same values as found in the north
west drift. On this level a crosscut was
run 20 feet, cutting a vein Il TO -
feet wide, its ore running 81 10 80 per
ton
Fifteen hundred feet northwest OF
the last described shaft is the DiscoV-
cry shaft, 60 feet deep, showing pay
streak averaging four feet vide ana
giving average values of Sl4 per ton
About 1900 feet further down comes
the Pinon shaft, so feet deep, showing
from four to six feet of good milling
ore. Still farther northwest are tun-
mel so feet long and still another shaft
so feet deep which show good mUIlng
In the Work shaft and the Gold Free
gold are each two compartment shafts
well timbered and each IS equipped
is a $50 horsepower compressor
Copper Claims.
The nine copper claims OF the COM
pany are on Dark Thunder mountain
and are developed by 80 foot shaft
and a. I55 foot tunnel, showing a vein
four feet wide averaging 10 percent
copper, an ounce Of gold and 200 ounces
silver per ton. There is also copper

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience Of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinetly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
E distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence Of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an IN
prepared condition, and with ample time
il which to prepare, women viii persist
in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham' sVegetable Com
pound, a most valuable tonic and invig,
