For nearly a quarter of a century two tali towers have stood at the foot of Hyde street. near Leavenworth, almost on the edge of the beach. Oue rises to a height of 110 feet, and the other reaches more than 50 feet in the air. They are both very broad and thick, and they have brick enbugb in them to construct several buildings. They are relics of the flush old days ..: the Comstock mining era, when li‘illtid, O'Brien, Fair, and others banded together and erected the famous Selby Smelting and Refining Works There tIIIII the bonanza days of 1868 to as ,_ late as l885 the great chimneys belclII-d I'I rth tire and smoke. They never stop- pnd. “'reatlms ot'flamc and volumes of soot ci.e ed in the air over the doIn.s at Night IiurI. while hundreds of men toiled in and about the works, carting and shovelling ore and slag, moulding bars or bllIllUll and refining it to pure silver. go Ii. lead and Copper. In 1855 the Selby Company concluded to move its works. It was known that the old Underground flue that connected the l‘IIII laces with the chimneys, as well as Consider ah it“ oi the- _-'.I und all about, . was peIIIIeatcd with Ivold and silver settliugs and solid metal. 0a the ad- vice of a skilled European expert the co npany dug up the ruins, as well as a lurgI amount oi soil, to the depth of five or six feet, and transferred it by tons to the new works at Port Uosta. There the stuff was run throngh the works, and, it is said, realized not less than $500,000. Selby 8:. Co. did not dream that in the tou'eIs which were left stand- ing and in the million tons of slag and IIIineral-perInI-IIted soil much wealth remained. They accordingly abandoned .I..~ place. The ground was sold, and I nothing was thought about it for a long time. Some time ago W. B. Cluff, the well- kuown merchant and politician of this city, acquired the ground on which the old works and the present slag pile and chimneys remain. It consists of five tilty-vara lots, or two and a quarter acres. Meantime he had several ex- perts make examination of the brick towers and the surroundings. They reported that the metal and black dust of the towers was a veritable mine of wealth, and that the grimy matter that filled the interstices and in one form or another permeated the brick reeked with . valuable minerals. Also that the grey slag which had been carried away from the blazing furnaces in primitive clays . contained large quantities of gold and silver. and should be worked over. l’romptly thereupon Mr. Clutf secured the. silver and gold linIId towers and th. Illbris. He is said to have paid $40,~ (I00 for the chimneys alone. His object is to work them up and get the money ,, out of them. ~ ~- ‘I I do not think 1 will time any ttoiiblc in gettinIr the gold, silver and other minerals out, "he said yesterlay " It. was on the advice of an English expert that Selby & Co. took a lot of the d: b Is to Port Costa, and I am n IllIilllC' that thI3.' got ovet $500, 000 , ,Itt’tuzt that.

Ifa building worth $1200 is insured for say 81000, the Royal Canadian is oblig- ed to pay SIOOO, its. loss occurs. In such a case the London Mutual is obliged to pay only two thirds of the cash value, or $800. 2.1fa horse worth $90 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Roy n1 Canadian 13 obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. Porn cow worth $30 killed by light- ning the Royal Canadian pays $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. In the London Mutual they are insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6. When “ ordinary contents ” of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian ALL implements are included. In the Lon- don Mutual only one reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ ordinary contents” of all building not cut oll‘hya distance great- er than 40 It., the same as if the contents weIe all under one roof. The London Mu- tual requires n. Separate sum on the con- tents ot eat-h building, if the distance is more than l2 ft. «This Is a wry important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard STEAM THRESHERS may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditions of their permit. When a farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will ltold him safe when it is most required. I). The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not pay for ninety days, and since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. it). The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. 11. As to security, the inspector of insu- rnnee reports that the Royal Canadian has $20 2,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Beside this he r'epotts that it has to the go end the SIM, 000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $I 17,6 I? III aking In all It total cash surplus cl‘S at? .607 to protect its policy- holder against unexpected contingencies. In ad- ditiou to rinse cash items it has a =sIIb crib- cd capital of 5100 000 not called up Re- gar-ling Iht securiti of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount 01 unearned premium it should have on bane Is 5290,1309. To make up this amount in cash II. second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount, leaving a surplus of only $74,218, even it there were. no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid balance of premium notes already heavily assessor]. The company reports the losses adjusted hut unpaid attire close of the year at $6,- 387, but the Inspector of Insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the end of the year was S‘JII,ZBG. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $I3,911. In view of the foregoing facts farmers will have no dEIiiculty in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured. lI‘or insurance apply to S.
