NEVADA INSURANCE
CO. PAYS DIVIDEND
CORPORATION is PROFITABLE
ENTERPRISE AS SHOWN
BY REPORTS

The first dividend to be declared
by the Nevada Fire Insurance COM
lany, q Nevada concern which vas
organized four years ago, was or
dered by the board of directors yes
terday, the dividend being one of
live per cent upon its capital stock.
The history of the company has
been one of remarkable business
success. 1t was formed in March,
1914, through the efforts of w. d.
Madigan, a veteran insurance mar
Of the west who has made Reno his
home for the past five years. 1t
began business with a paid-up CAPT.
tai of 100000, which was increas-
ed to a paid-up capitalization of
s2O4,00O about a year ago. In ad-
dition to its capital investment it
has created a surplus of $4,000
and a reinsurance reserve of $780,
900, it profits last year alone
amounting to over $4,000. Until
this year all of its earnings have
neen placed in its surplus and re-
insurance reserve with the result
that it now is one of the strongest
institutions, when risks are compar-
ed to liquid assets, in the entire
country.
Since it's books were opened for
business it has been directly man
aged by Robert Carlson, a promi-
nent western underwater. William
c. Pitt of Lovelock is president.
With the exception of a few scat
tering shares all the stock is held
by residents of Nevada and the
northwestern section Of California,

Frank Williams and d. T. Dun
ran have secured a five-year lease
on the Hoodoo mine from the Kan

by Geo. Roth and associates, the
Mountain Boy and Mountain Girl
claims being those involved in the
transaction. The Christmas section
is now showing considerable activ-
i,y.

F. w. Richardson is shipping a
carload of ore from the Hillsides.
Shipments from the Boss mine
ere going forward regularly to the
mill in Los Angeles.
The settlement sheet from the
last car of ore shipped by the Red

showed returns worth looking at.
After deducting the moisture the
dry weight amounted to 1926
rounds. Gold values amounted to
s1.52 and copper, less the usual
20 per cent rake-off, $1O1.04, MAX

POWDER RULING
AFFECTS MINER
APPLICATION TO PROsPECTORs
Is SUBJECT OF A DIS
CUSSION

A meeting of Tonopah mine oper-
ators was held Wednesday evening
to hear suggestions from Denver s..
Dickerson, inspector of explosives,
regarding the methods of dealing
with men employed in handling ex-
plosives in the mines of the district,
says a Tonopah letter. The con-
ference was the first of a series, at
the end of which it is believed some
means will be found of preventing
enemies from gaining possession of
powder in a surreptitious
The operators believe that the sys-
tenn obtaining in their respective
properties will furnish a sufficient
check against hiding one or more
sticks of giant powder from the
quantities issued by the powder
bosses.
The question of handling pros
pectors, however, is the most diff
cult to solve, as it is manifestly i'm
possible to keep track of the move
ments of a nomadic tribe whose
wanderings cover an extensive range
of territory and whose movements
are as capricious as the winds of
heaven.
The proposition to enforce a sep
arate license for every purchase does
not meet with favor, but no action
will be taken until after the entire
subject in all its ramifications has
been threshed out by men whose ex-
perience in the field and under
ground entities their opinions to
weighty consideration.
1t is possible that when a decision
is reached the details will not be
given out for publication, as that
would tend to thwart the objects of
the regulations, so far as mines are
concerned, but the rules for the
guidance of prospectors must be
given wide publicity since they affect
a class that can only be reached
through the newspapers and as
Inspector Dickerson does not wish to
work any hardship that can be
avoided.
The element of carelessness or in
difference will be the chief STUN
bling block to the successful opera
ton of the law, as the average pros
pector is prone to use his own judg-
ment instead of paying attention to
the advice of others.
When 1t is known that the valid
ity of titles and the value of new To-
cations will depend largely on COM
pliance it is believed the wandering
miner will yield to the inevitable
just as he never forgets to file his
locations or to overlook his assess
ments.-Reno Gazette.
