A MESSAGE.
To the People of New Mexico

- WYNN Y~N AFAN@NS(O
from
F. B. SCHWENTKER, General Agent
THE PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA
Life insurance has suddenly become very popular. Everybody wants
it, This indicates that the American people are at last beginning to real
ie the economic value of life insurance and are investing more of their
earnings in life and endowment policies.
1919 was in every respect the greatest year in the history of the
Pacific Mutual
Our new business ($u, OOOOO) was 100 per cent greater than for any
previous year.
Our mortality record for the year is down to normal (65 per cent? al
though the heavy mortality from influenza extended through the first
four months of 1919.
Due to heavy purchases of Liberty Bonds III average interest earn
ings (594 per cent? are slightly lower than last year.
The Albuquerque Agency which includes New Mexico, Arizona and
andnow has a total OF over 100000 insurance on its books paying re-
nswal premiums, Our premium collections were $4,000
Our field men say Pacific Mutual policies are easy to sell Look at
these personal records: H. W. Schroeder, FL Paso, $498 900; Dr.. John r.
Gass, albuquerque, $4,000; J. D Bright, Silver City (worked only five
nonthS), $S0SO00; K. H. Carter, Ration, $4,000.
Our increased business has necesatated appointing an Assistant Gen
position, and will devote his entire time to agency work. Mr.. Thor w.
KoHe, from the Home Office, succeeds him as Cashier.
Our Multiple Protection Policy, including life, accident and sickness
insurance, is becoming increasingly popular. This policy covers the par
tA loss due to sickness OF accident on the same principle that a fire inSur-
ance policy covers the partial loss when a building is partially destroyed
b wire. A $4,000 policy would pay $4,000 in caSe of accidental death;
$4,000 tor loss OF two limbs, and $0 per month in case OF sickness DR. acct
dent-M in addition to the usual benefits provided for in a standard life
insurance policy.
Our NoncanceHabe Income Policy is the newest and best contract
ever devised to insure your earning capacity This policy cannot be can
to sell as much as $1,000 per month indemnity for an annual premium of
only $500. Every professional and business man who has a large earning
capacity will be interested in this policy Write or telephone for parhcu-
lars

VAST possibilities OF
BOULDER CANYON DAM

Directly east of Las Vegas. and dis"
tant about so miles as the crow flies.
Is the site OF the most remarkable dam
project in the entire southwest write
VI. w. Musgrose in the Los Vegas. New,
Age.
The initial steps are now being taken
to bring this proposition into shape
and ere long work will be started in
real earnest on the great bulwark,
which will not only impound tie turbu-
lent waters of the Colorado, but will
drive these waters back many miles
into n natural reservoir for the crea-
ton of an electric energy which will
not only create power sufficient for
irrigation aad mining, but also entirely
sufficient to electrify the Los Angeles
& Salt Lake road from Salt Lake to
Los Angeles It's full length, for power
can easily be conveyed more than $50
miles. and $50 miles each VA from
the dam means greater than zoo miles
Of a total.
This project will not only protect the
ranehers in tho Imperial valley, IN Cali
fornia. from the fioodwaters of this
turbulent stream, but will serve the
great problem OF the irrigation of the
aliuslal lands OF the Sacramento VAL
ley. In Arizona. and also the vast areas
Of fru,tlands in the rich valley Of the
Vegas.
Equally important Is the effect this
wonderful ocean Of water n electric
energy will have In the development
of the nines OF gold. silver. copper,
yanadium and moiyhdenum. of which
there are vast bodies within a stones
throw of Las Vegas. IL only needs the
conclusion OF this great project 10 fur
nish labor OF several thousand miners
and their supplies must be secured
here. by al. odds the logical point Of
outhttine.
Not only will il benefit the quartz
lodges In this section but the rich
placer fields along the Colorado river
between the dam site and Grisgs ferry.
and other known fields.
The gold plaeers at Griggs ferry
have been extensively examined ~
biologists or international repute. ex-
perieneed. practical miners also say the
values are high. one gcoiogist places
the yardage in that particular section
on the lower bars at 5p.e0s.o0o yards
and places the net profit at 81. es5. ooo.
This estimate being at the rate OF 40
cents per cubic yard OF gravel net
