NEVADA INSURANCE COMPANY
MAKES QUICK SETTLEMENT

Carson News Oct. A: Within Is
hours after the Carson City school
house was discovered to be ablaze
Sunday night the trustees Of the
school district had in their possession
a check for $4,000 in full payment
of the insurance carried on the build
ing. This is a record of which the
company is entitled to credit and for
which it should be given praise.
When Agent Charles Peters called
up the headquarters Office of the Ne
vada Fire Insurance Company In Reno
early yesterday to inform them of the
catastrophe he was told that word of
the fire had been received and that
officers were already preparing to go
to Carson to look over the ruins and
to adjust the loss. o. w. Jepsen,
special agent, and T. Patterson, ad-
juster arrived later in the day and
after a visit to the ruins went into
consultation with the school officials
and late in the afternoon delivered
the check for the full face of the pol
icies.

ELY SHIPPING COPPER

A hopeful indication of improved
business conditions is seen in the an-
nouncement Friday that the shipping
OF copper is to be resumed from Nc
Gill to the refiners at Baltimore, Md
These shipments are to be made from
the surplus stock hat has been long
stored at the smelter, amounting in
round numbers to 20. 1000, 900 pounds,
reports the News of Ely.
The plan for shipping is said to be
on a schedule of forty cars per week
sent out in two trains of twenty cars
each, the forty carloads constituting
a steamer shipment, as the copper is
to be sent by way of Shafter and the
Western Pacific to San Francisco and
thence by steamer through the Pan
anna canal to Baltimore. This is be-
cause of the present reduced rate on
copper shipments by water, said to
effect a saving of approximately $3.50
per ton as compared with the all-rail
rate east. At these figures it car
readily be computed that the saving
on 10000 tons runs into money and
is a factor well worth taking into con-
sideration.
Shipments will commence during
the coming week, the first train to
be sem out Wednesday and the sec
ond Saturday rs part of the regular
weekly freight schedule over the Ne
vada Northern. 1t is thought this
schedule will prevail, although it will
be necessary to take into considera-
ton the sailing time of steamers from
San Francisco. The shipments r.
to be handled by the present rev
employed by the railway company,
and for the present 1t is said 1t will
not result in any increase of working
force.
The movement of this surplus cop
per is taken as an indication that the
worst of the local business depression
has passed, and while there is moth
ing to justify the prediction Of an i'm
mediate resumption of mining and
smelling, the fact that the surplus
stock Of this particular smelter is at
last on the move Is in itself an en-
couraging sign. With regular weekly
shipments the surplus is bound event
ually to be cleaned up, and it cannot
be long before the manufacturing Of
copper will again be resumed.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
FIRST BREAK IN COAL RATES

Tonopah Times: According to re-
ports from Salt Lake the Union Pa
cifc is out after business by making
rates that will save the cost of haul
ing empty cars and furnish traffic for
their engines to haul. The n shrek
ing protest on the western region is
against the monstrous exactions for
carrying coal. The coal barons have
apportioned the country so that OPP
orators in one part do not fear en-
croachments from the operators OF
other sections. Through this ne
farious system operators and rail-
roads have gone hand in glove, know
ing they had the consumer In their
clutches from which there could not
be any escape. Through this prac-
tice Nevada has been given over to
the tender mercies of the Utah oper-
ators, while Gallup, N. NJ, and Rock
Springs operators have been warned
to keep off the grass. A few desul-
tory loads of Wyoming coal arrive
during the Winter but they are the
exception rather than the rule. The
Union Pacific has taken the matter
in hand with an announcement that
1t Is going to deliver the best Wyom-
ing coal right in the capital of Utah
regardless of the protests of the Utah
coal barons. What is more they are
going to deliver 1t at a price that will
call for a material reduction in the
price OF Utah fuel. The reduction
will come through the railroad low
ering its rate rs per cent on carload
lots between Rock Springs and Og-
den. The effect was instantaneous.
Utah operators met the price of Rock
Springs and the householder will be
saved from $3.50 to SO a ton. In
view of the fact that the Union Pa
cific is bidding for trade in this ter
ritory in order to broaden the activ-
tiles of it's newly acquired Salt Lake
and San Pedro railroad, it is possible
that Tonopah may hear of something
to it's advantage. Householders
should not defer purchases on this
account, however, as the schedule is
in a highly nebulous state hat may
not yield any reduction to the desert
jewellers.
