INDUSTRIAL |NSUR-
ANCE BULLETIN
Carson City, June 25, 1913.

Carson City, June 25, 1913.
The schedule of initial premiums,
Incorporated in the Nevada Industrial
Insurance act, was partially taken
from the Washington act. The Wash
ington act is compulsory as regards
hazardous employments. The Nevada
act is elective, but includes both haz-
ardous and non Hazardous occupations.
In the Nevada act, section 81, page
Is, under caption, Miscellaneous
Work. the following rate is given:
"All other employment not herein
specified .015.
This same provision is in the Wash
ington act, but it applies to hazardous
occupations not in the Washington
act
In arranging classification of in
dustries, including both hazardous and
non hazardous, it occurred to this
commission that such rate would be
positively prohibitive, if applied to
many non hazardous occupations; for
instance, Office employees of factory,
not subjected to the hazard of the in
dustry; employees in a mercantile es-
tablshment, such as a drygoods store,
clothing store, ETC.; employees in
bank.
For this reason. the commission has
decided to create separate class for
hazardous occupations, this class
to be subdivided as follows: First,
preferred non--hazard; second, ordi-
nary non hazard; third, medium non-
hazard. For the first class, "prefer-
red non-hazard,' the rate is .0075; for
the third class, "medium non-haz-
ard, .01.
The commission is of the opinion
that many employers of labor in the
state of Nevada, engaged in the mer-
camille business. will be only too
glad to avail themselves of the bene-
fits and privileges of the act at the
low rate now offered to them.
If you are conducting a mercantile
business of any kind, or engaged IN
any non n-hazardous occupation, the
state of Nevada offers you not only
Insurance at a low rate, but absolute
protection. Your rate cannot be high
er than one per cent and may be as
low as one-half of one per cent.
Can you, as prudent business man,
afford to reject the advantages and
benefits offered you at such nominal
cost9
Write to the Nevada Industrial
Commission, Carson City, Nevada, for
rates. State the nature of your bust
ness and the number of employees. A
prompt reply will be made.

To Celebrate Opening Sacramento
Shops.

The entertainment committee of the
Sacramento Chamber of Commerce met
yesterday and changed the date of
the celebration that is to mark the
opening of the Western Pacific shops
from July 5th to July 18th. The rea-
son for the change in date was that
many prominent Sacramentans would
be out of town on the day following
July 4th.
The committee in charge of the
celebration has selected President d..
w. Carmichael of the Chamber of
Commerce to preside. He will make
the opening speech. The city commits
sion will be asked to select one of its
members to make an address and the
board of supervisors will be given the
same invitation.
George W. Peltier will speak on be-
half of the site selecting committee
and First Vice-President Sehlacks of
the Western Pacific will also be among
the speakers.
j. c. Havely, local agent for the
Western Pacific, announced that the
Western Pacific will run three trains
from the Nineteenth and streets de-
pot to the shops on the afternoon of
the celebration.

tlGHT SURVEYING parties
lAkt fItLD IN NfvADA

With eight United States surveyors
in the field, each having party aver
aging seven men, the surveying of
public. lands in Nevada is being push
ed rapidly by Surveyor-General
Matthew Kyle, says the Gazette.
This year new man Is in charge
of the field forces. He is G. j. j.
kirkpatrick, assistant supervisor of
surveys for Nevada and Utah. Mr..
kirkpatrick had charge OF running
the state line over which there was z
considerable dispute between Texas
phian, graduate of Cornell, and an
engineer of considerable experience.
AS each surveying party has an av-
erage of six horses, it is seen that
considerable volume of government
money is to be expended in Nevada
during the season. When the work
began in April three wagons were
purchased in Reno and large amount
of other equipment. In the field the
surveyors secure their supplies from
the nearest mercantile center.
1t is the policy of those in charge of
the government work to give the sur
veying of homesteads the preference
at all times in order that settlers who
desire to do so may have their hold
ings patented. Mr.. Kyle says that
there is considerable increase in the
number of applications for surveys of
homesteads.
There are 70 full and fractional
townships set down for surveying
during the summer, while still another
party will take the field shortly for
special work. The surveyors weekly
average of work accomplished varies
according to the territory. One man
made 90 miles in week under favor
able conditions, while in rough, heavi-
ly wooded country the run might drop
as low AS two miles. Weekly reports
are received.
The surveyors in charge of parties
now in the field include: N. w. Rep
pert, in charge of group %, scattered
throughout central Nevada; Thos. A.
Taigh, group IL, in railroad land grant
east of Winnemucca; William Slower
and j. G. Collins, associate, group },
10 and "a, scattered in Humboldt
county, 9 and 10 being homesteader 3
holdings; Newton E. Potter, group 20,
White Pine county at state line; J. NJ.
Mckinney, assistant; William H.
Craig, group %, east of Phoebe, Lin
coin county.

TAKE ACTION FOR
NORTHERN ROUTE

A special dispatch from Ogden 70
the Salt Lake Herald Republican.
dated June 25, says that represeu.
tative party from Weber and Roy
Elder counties consisting of Chairman
Moroni SkeeD, of the Weber board of
county commissioners; J. d. Larson.
secretary of the Ogden Publicity
bureau; Mayor X. L. Fishburn. of
Bingham, and Chairman p. II. Black
burn, of the Box Elder board of conn.
ty commissioners. left Ogden this
morning for Montello, Nevada. to
meet with representatives of Nevada
TO discuss the Overland trail construc-
tion.
The conference was called as a re.
suit OF alleged Withholding by the
governor of Utah of funds appropriat-
ed by the Utah legislature for the i'm.
provement of the auto road in Box
Elder county for the Overland trail.
The reason given by the governor is
said to be that there is no road west
of Montelo through Nevada.
The local supporters of the Over
land route are puzzled over the atti-
tude of the governor, as they claim
there is better highway through the
north route than is to be found over
nine-tenths of the Midland trail.
According to f. M. Steninger, editor
of the Elko Free Press, who is in Og-
den for few days, the hating of the
work on the state road around the
north end of the lake is discouraging
to good roads oeople in Nevada.
1.-The Overland trail across Nevada
has been practically completedn con-
tinued Mr.. Steninger, "and the road
follows the Southern Pacific track,
passing through the most thiekly pop
ulated part of the state, and it is bet
ter than the one IN the southern part
of the state, which practically passes
over a desert and barren waste the en-
tire way. There is a telephone line
along the northern route which ex-
tends to every ranch house along the
ine, which viii be of considerable
benefit to the autoists in case of ac-
cident''
Since the governor of Nevada veto
ed the measure of the legislature ap-
propriating $4,000 for the improving
of the road in Elko county Mr.. Stem
niger says the people of the city and
county have worked Sundays to build
the road. In many places the grade
has been changed and bridges built,
one of them being 1000 bridge
over the Humboldt river. Signs have
been placed over the entire distance
and the road is ready for travel.

Wenzel Bondsmen pemur.

This afternoon C. II. Mcintosh, the
Tonopah attorney, and T. A. Bran
don are arguing demurrer interpos-
ed by defendants in the case of
Chris Wolf, Administrator, VS.. P. H..
Wolf and j. A. Mcintosh.
Defendants signed the bond of J..
w. Wenzel, as administrator of the
estate of Herman Sommers, deceased.
Some time ago representations were
made to Judge Ducker that Wenzel
had absconded with $500 of the
funds of the estate, whereupon Wen
eel was removed as administrator and
Chris Wolf appointed in his place.
The new administrator Immediately
brought suit against the bondsmen
and attached a judgment p. ii. Wolf
had obtained against Humboldt coun
ty. Attorney Mcintosh demurred 10
this proceeding, claiming that it was
necessary for the administrator TO
have first secured judgment against
Wenzel for the $500, and in the
event of its being unsatisfed, he
could then proceed against the sure
ties on the bond
