BULLION WARNS
 INSURANCE MEN
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER ALSO POINTS OUT DANGER OF
 OVER-INSURING.
30 INVESTIGATIONS MADE
In Order That Meaning of Our Arson Statute Nigh Be Clarified Supreme Court Held Burning Own Proper
 ty Does Not Constitute Crime.
Little Rock

Little ROcR.-
 Bruce T. Bulleon, state insurance commissioner, issued a warning to all lire insurance companies in Arkansas against over insuring property. He says: Since the creation of this de partment on April 1, 1917, part of our legal duties has been the inves- tigation Of supposed incendiary fires. Up to the present time 30 such inves- legations have been made. The re- suita of the investigations disclose the fact that l9. or 65 per cent, of those investigated were over-insured.
 10 order that the meaning of our arson ststu.c might bo clarified, this department recently appealed case te the Supreme Court The decision of this court was that the burning of property by the owner does not con stitute the crime of arson.
 This decision opens up the way for the dishonest and interruptions to sell out to the fire insurance con- panies and incur no danger from crim- inal prosecution We might wish that the law did not excuse a criminal of this type. yet we are forced to face conditions as they are. not as we should have them When a company insures property for more than it's value in some instances running as high as 100 per cent, or twice as much as it could be disposed of by the own CT. they held forth a temptation for ready and quick sale through tho me- dium Of a fire. And, in the light of the above decision, the temptation be- comes a real danger.
 Prom reports received from differ ent parts of the state, the custom of over-insuring appears to be of general and universal practice The fact that 63 per cent of the incendiary fires in vestigated shows that the property destroyed was insured for more than it's market value. indicates d laXness on the part of the local agent, which is truly alarming.
 This department is doing it's ut most to spread the propaganda of fire prevention, and to put out of business the arsonist. and we feel that we should have your active and thorough cooperation in stamping out the evil of over-insuring.

DARING Of CECIL RHODES
IN DEEP LEVEL MINING
TELLS OF ORIGIN AND SUCCESS
OF A STARTLING
PROJECT.

In an article entitled 1.-THE Most
Wonderful Man l Ever Knew In the
American Magazine for July, John
Hays Hammond gives the following
interesting anecdote about the incep-
ton of deep level mining on the Rand
by Cecil Rhodes:
A revelation Of the methods by
which Mr. Rhodes mind operated is
shown in his championship of deep
level mining-his starting project to
risk millions of dollars in sinking
shafts several thousand feet into the
earth on the chance of finding gold
there. All mining on the Rand hither-
to had been of the outcrop species. To
sink unprecedently deep shafts with
the idea of intersecting a gold reef in
the bowels of the earth was a most
daring proposal. This is the story of
the start of his undertaking.:
While Lions Reared.
Mr.. Rhodes, DR.. Jameson and /, to-
gether with some of my engineers
were camping out one night in wild
part of Rhodesia where the lions were
roaring around us and had to be con-
stantly frightened away by wall Of
fire and the firing of guns. 1t was not
uncommon in these regions for lions
to dart in and snatch our donkeys or
even to carry off a negro boy occa-
sionally.
las we sat about the fire Rhodes be-
gan to discuss the future. He wanted
to know how long the Rand reef would
last. | told him that geologically
there was no reason why it should not
last many more years-that there was
reasonable limit. from an engineer
ing point of view to the depth min
ling could be carried. Then ! went on
to explain that, whereas outcrop
claims were selling anywhere from
$4,000 to 100000 per acre, we could
| pick up all the other land for deep
level mining at $50 or 500 per acre
provided no one discovered what we
were trying~to do. l figured out that.
following for the cost of sinking shafts
to a depth of 5000 feet his profits
would be 20 or 80 times as great as
those yielded by the enormously cost
ly outcrop lands.
"Why would it not be good business
to sell the outcrop company holdings
Rhodes asked. land quietly buy all
| ha OH hA Fol
10 or IL miles, and start mining al
1000 to 5000 feet?"
Buy Vast Acreage.
Il recommended that to Barnato.'
I said. "but he was too busy with 9TH
err things to bother about it."
Lets send a cablegram to London
at once!" Rhodes exclaimed.
About 2 o'clock in the morning my
secretary-now Lord Sage and Sele, a
fearless adventurer. D. s. o. man
and crack shot-started, with only a
couple of natives, on a 500-mile ride
across dangerous country to the near
est railroad station at Mafeking, with
cable to the London directors Of the
Consolidated Gold Fields. The cable
was briefly this: Have decided best
