3. Why do dividends

Questions and Answers

Pr IS one of my firm beliefs that the
time to start looking for job is
= two or three years before you need
one. And it is mighty encouraging to
note how many young people these
days are laying their employment
plans well ahead of time Here's an
example of what l mean.
Dentistry
"A YOUNG man from Portland. Oregon,
writes: "Pm tn my second year Of
dental school, and it is about time

practice when I graduate. Can you 3D.
rise me as to whether my chances Of
getting ahead would be greater in city
OF in small toWn2"
Although many city dentists believe
that their field is overcrowded, statis-
tics indicate that dentistry is among
the least crowded of the professions -
for the country as whole. And Amer
ica's defense plans will mean addi-
tional job opportunities in the form
of Medical Corps commissions. In
some large cities, however, there is one
dentist for every 500 people. which is
probably too many. But in many
small towns the ratio is one to 1900
or even higher. These places could
definitely support more dentists.
You can obtain the approximate
number of dentists practicing in any
town by counting their names in the
classified section of the local phone
book BY dividing this number into
the population of the town. you can
obtain your ratio. The closer this
ratio is to one in a 1000, the better the
chances of success for a new dentist

positions in other fields. This means
that something like $1,000 vacancies
occur in ordinary years.
Teaching opportunities are consid-
erably better at present in junior and
senior high schools, which are not

As result, the amount available for divi-
dends, during the period of declining inter-
est rates. has been reduced.
4. In sChat manner may use my divi-
dend?
If you own an Ordinary life insurance policy
in Metropolitan, you may use your dividend
in any one of four ways.
(a) You can receive your dividend in cash.
tb) You can apply your dividend toward the
payment Of premiums.
(c) Except in the case of Term insurance.
you can use your dividend to purchase
additional paid-up life insurance. Any
such insurance. purchased in this man.
ner. will be added to the face amount
which your present policy will have at
death or upon maturity.
(d) You can leave dividends with the Com
pany to accumulate interest.
1t is not feasible, of course, to make all of
the above options available for Industrial or
Group policies.
No matter how you elect to use your divi-
dends, the final result is this: dividends re-
duce the amount you pay for your life in
surance to the actual cost of providing it.

rally means that the demand for teach

]. What is a dividend?

In a mutual company such as Metropolitan,
the premium paid by the policyholder is
fixed at an amount somewhat greater than
the company expects will be needed under
normal conditions to pay for the cost of
furnishing the insurance. This is a safety
measure, in order to make sure that the COM
pany has on hand at all times sufficient funds
to cover any unforeseen contingencies that
may arise.
The policyholder receives back. in the
form of dividends, such amounts as past
experience and present conditions indicate
are not needed for the current cost of insur-
ance or for the maintenance of the neces-
sary reserve funds which assure payment of
future policy obligations. Dividends are not
usually available, of course, in the very early
policy years.
2. H0w are dividends arrived at?
After premiums and interest from invest
ments have been credited -. after payments
to policyholders and benehciaries, and ex-
penses, have been met after the reserve
which is required by law to insure the pay
ment of future obligations has been set aside
-. and after provision has been made for an
extra safety fund (the maximum of which is
limited by law -. any funds remaining are
available for dividends. The company appor-
tions and distributes these funds to individ-

earned, and the running expense of the COM
pany. Any material change in any Of these
factors may increase or may lower the actual
cost of insurance.
For instance, when life insurance COM
pany receives less in interest, insurance
must cost more than it otherwise would.
During the last ten years, there has been a
substantial decline in interest income on
most forms of investments available to life
insurance companies. The savings resulting
from a lower death rate and Metropolitan's
slightly lower expense rates Except for
taxes) have not been sufficient to offset such
reductions in interest earnings.

SN0WSH0E MINE
NEAR LIBBY is
AGAIN WORKING

The Snowshoe mine south of Lib
by is again in operation. After an
idle period of many years, ore is
again moving out of the mine into
the concentrator and concentrates
will soon be going out to the
smelter.
The present operators of the prop
erty started taking ore out of the
old mine on September 10. If pres
ent plans materialize. 1t is expected
to have the mill under 24-hour op-
Grafton by October 1, according to
reports reaching Libby.
Some time ago the Snowshoe peo-
pie purchased the viking mill and
moved it to the Snowshoe. This
mill is now in operation and is rated
as a very good plant
Because of its pioneer history and
Importance to the financial life of
Libby, little history of the Snow
shoe property is pertinent at this

The mine was first located by
Bregg Parmenter and pardners in
1889. Later 1t was bonded by man
by the name of Walters who had
English capital back of him. After
period of what is now described
as mismanagement. the property
was leased to Boardman & Bow
ers. 1t later went into receivership.
William Jennison, a Libby man at
that time. was appointed receiver.
After taking out 55 carloads of con-
centrates, the property was shut
down permanently.
Russell Gibson, Harvard profess
sor who worked throughout this dis
trict a few years ago making a geo.
logical survey for the Government
during the summers, speaks of the
Snowshoe in his preliminary report.
He says that 10000 tons of ore
had been taken out of the property
during the time of its operation,
with net smelter returns valued at
S1,086,000. So despite mismanage-
ment-and according to reports, dis

northeast of Bonita. 1t is a copper
gold-lead property near the Tiger
mine where lessees recently open

workings. The Featherstone com

Co. and is now employing 80 men.

property, and at a time when lead
was as a very low price, ranging
around three cents. Costs were also
high in those days, as the concen-
trates had to be hauled to Libby by
team and all supplies hauled back
by the same method. 1t is said
four-horse teams were common
sight in Libby those days, hauling
ore in from the mine and supplies
back to 1t.
Men who worked in the property
in the days when it was in full
operation have always maintained
that there are large bodies of ore
remaining in the mine. Many will
be interested to learn that this old
pioneer property is again in pro-
duction.
