Home Insurance

\ NEVADA company has been or
ganized to write fire insurance for
Nevada people. This sounds like
good, hard sense. The idea has pre-
vailed for years that one must insure
i'll a big company from the outside to
be safe. The people seem TO forget
that the big companies started with
little. some with so little that had
they not played in luck they would
have gone broke.
In the case of this Nevada concern
there is a cash reserve that will as
sure the patron that he will be paid
in full in case of fire. The money
put up is all by Nevada people. They
have gone into the scheme as a bus
mess investment. and it surely looks
like one. Fire insurance is written
along a regulation line. 1t is a prob
lem figured down to a gnat's eye. II
there is a profit in the business it
seems that the Nevadan should have
a chance at the profit sharing end
and keep the money al home. 1t is
simply a sound business problem. and
the surprising feature is that the op-
p%ortunity has been passed up SC
lmany years.

Real Mining

AN example OF real mining is shown
in the camp OF Manhattan. During
lis first boom it was a case OF get the
money. The merit was III the camp,
but there was practically no develop
ment. Aitcr the bursting OF the bub-
bic and the wrecking OF San Fran
cisco, il was a case of make the ores
pay the way to some real mines. This
has resulted.
II has taken a lot OF hard work, OF
careful and economic work, OF intel
ligent development, but the bullion is
now telling the story.
Several mills are grinding on ore,
the mines are receiving the bullion
and the miners are making profits,
Many ~leascrs have made fortunes,
and some of the stock in companies
that were considered useless are now
worth a lot of money.
1t is a lesson for other sections that
are endcavoring to make mines on
hot air. The district with material
will win out. There must be mines
and not advertisements. There
must be intelligence and not all luck
Manhattan. fortunately, has the re-
qnisite requirements and is among
the camps that is making good. II
is a pleasure to pick mp the paper:
from the district and note that facts
and figures are given and not a LOT
Of misleading statements, such as
could be quoted from other sections

Civic Meeting

THE result of the civic meetings
in this city has been of benefit. If
there has been no great action or vast
improvements made. il has at least
brought out many a thought. given
publicity to many an idea and set in
the front ranks many men who ordi-
narily who hardly have been known
to their ncighbors.
1t is the rubbing OF elbows that
does the business. IT has been a
pleasure to meet the man across the
street and find that he has common
thoughts with his neighbor. It is a
pleasure to talk of something but
ones own affairs. and the result is
that If the Civic Improvement
scheme Of Carson never builds a
monument, it will at least make
closer and better friendships in this
community. 1t has been worth many
times the price of admission.

would include contents. A later
report cnnfrms this, but we have
no information as to the origin of
the fire, insurance carried etc.
