READY TO SHOOT R. Lyle Kimmel of Sacramento secretary of the Mining Association of California, was in Nevada City and Grass Valley Thursday in the interest . of the new mutual insurance company which the state-organization is fostering to bring down the exhorbitant cost of compensaition insurance. He found an enthusiastic response in the local camp toward the idea and a number ee of the local companies will ¢ome im ~~ under.the new plan which promises to exert a powerful influence in behalf of one of the state’s major industries since the days ‘of ‘49: The new company is signing up 100 operators with approved records in the -matter of accidents and when these are ready will secure its charter. from the state and prepare to go into business. From the response already obtained there will not be much difficulty in securing the needed number of applications and Nevada county has already come forward encouragingly for the new idea. Only those applications will be received which promise to operate on a_ safety first basis and keep down’ the number of accidents. so as to make it possible-to operate at . an extremely. low rate of premium. A field crew of expert inspectors will be employed as soon as the company is functioning and insurance men will operate the company so that it will be conducted along lines recognized as conservative aad safe. The program undertaken by the state association promises to revolutionize the mining industry and make it possible for the smaller companies to get going once more after struggling with many handicaps. Since the war practically the entire mining industry particularly in gold, has been carried on by afew large companies with the result that operations have been concentrated in a few large centers. With the coming of the state association and the promise of cheaper compensation insurance, there has been an encouraging awakening from the investors. in mining with the result that the industry looks to be getting ready»fef a real revival, particularly among the smaller , properties. Kimmel has proved a tower of strength in the’ preliminary work and the association has. been very fortunate to enlist his services, following the defection of the Sacramento Chamber of Comimerce ac . critical juncture. He wi:1 devote his_ cntire time at present to putting / over the insurance icea and with the hearty response wich he has met at the outset froii the broad minded mining men of: Nevada county he has secured the nucleus of what will prove’ to be the biggest boon the mining industry has secured in many years. Kimmel is strong for the friend= ly spirit that has heen shown by the mining men of this county toward the organization and he _ frankly stated that if it had not been for that spirit that he doubted if it would have been possible to launch the state association idea, and see it through to a successful conclusion. There has been wonderful help too from the Northern California Mining Association which has been functioning in the ‘northern tier of counties and which came into the state asso— ciation bodily some months ago. There are now 16 counties organized in the state and a wonderful en— thusiasm is springing up in behalf of the mining industry, which cannot — but inure to its future well being, » The local chapter now boasts 109 members with applications coming in regularly.

READY TO SHOOT R. Lyle Kimmel of Sacramento secretary of the Mining Association of California, was in Nevada City and Grass Valley Thursday in the interest . of the new mutual insurance company which the state-organization is fostering to bring down the exhorbitant cost of compensaition insurance. He found an enthusiastic response in the local camp toward the idea and a number ee of the local companies will ¢ome im ~~ under.the new plan which promises to exert a powerful influence in behalf of one of the state’s major industries since the days ‘of ‘49: The new company is signing up 100 operators with approved records in the -matter of accidents and when these are ready will secure its charter. from the state and prepare to go into business. From the response already obtained there will not be much difficulty in securing the needed number of applications and Nevada county has already come forward encouragingly for the new idea. Only those applications will be received which promise to operate on a_ safety first basis and keep down’ the number of accidents. so as to make it possible-to operate at . an extremely. low rate of premium. A field crew of expert inspectors will be employed as soon as the company is functioning and insurance men will operate the company so that it will be conducted along lines recognized as conservative aad safe. The program undertaken by the state association promises to revolutionize the mining industry and make it possible for the smaller companies to get going once more after struggling with many handicaps. Since the war practically the entire mining industry particularly in gold, has been carried on by afew large companies with the result that operations have been concentrated in a few large centers. With the coming of the state association and the promise of cheaper compensation insurance, there has been an encouraging awakening from the investors. in mining with the result that the industry looks to be getting ready»fef a real revival, particularly among the smaller , properties. Kimmel has proved a tower of strength in the’ preliminary work and the association has. been very fortunate to enlist his services, following the defection of the Sacramento Chamber of Comimerce ac . critical juncture. He wi:1 devote his_ cntire time at present to putting / over the insurance icea and with the hearty response wich he has met at the outset froii the broad minded mining men of: Nevada county he has secured the nucleus of what will prove’ to be the biggest boon the mining industry has secured in many years. Kimmel is strong for the friend= ly spirit that has heen shown by the mining men of this county toward the organization and he _ frankly stated that if it had not been for that spirit that he doubted if it would have been possible to launch the state association idea, and see it through to a successful conclusion. There has been wonderful help too from the Northern California Mining Association which has been functioning in the ‘northern tier of counties and which came into the state asso— ciation bodily some months ago. There are now 16 counties organized in the state and a wonderful en— thusiasm is springing up in behalf of the mining industry, which cannot — but inure to its future well being, » The local chapter now boasts 109 members with applications coming in regularly.
