We really supposed that the popular L.

Narryatt and Dickinson have founded

we're therefore rather astonished to find the
following circumstantial statements appear

Cannot our contemporary furnish the facts
more In detail:
"A death from spontaneous combustion
has not unfrequcntly occurred, the victims
in most cases being fat and aged women Of
incorporate habits. A case is now going
the rounds Of a man who had been an hab-
itual drinker for years, who was found
standing in an out building completely en-
veloped in silve-colorcd fame, like the
wicks Of . candle in its blaze, and being
shaken by the shoulder the fire was immc-
diately extinguishcd, and through nearly
all the 0vsis slvuYhed from the bones. as the

Mining Incorporation Laws.

The experience of the past two years
has demonstrated the necessity of altera-
tions and improvements in the laws gov
erning mining interpretations. 1t is evi-
dent that they are at present far from per-
feet; and that unprincipled sharpers, and
operators possessing extensive means, are
daily taking advantage of the limited capi-
tai of poor stockholders to '.freeze them
out" Of mines that exhibit the slightest
likelihood of proving rich. It is clearly
the duty of the Legislature to protect the
class of people who are being victimized
in this manner, and to provide by statute,
as far as practicable, against the system Of
swindling now so successfully carried on.
Under the present laws, nothing is easier
than for Board of Trustees to outlaw the
stock of poor holders by piling on unnec-
essary and frequent assessments. This
game has been so universally practiced
that the instances of original owners in
valuable mines holding any interests after
development, are exceedingly rare. 1t
might, perhaps. be difficult, if not alto
gether impossible, to establish an unvary-
ing rule that would remedy this evil with
out incurring another evil equally as OBJ
iertionable; but if limit to the amount
of each assessment levyable were made to
conform with the character Of the mine,
the capital stock of the company, and the
nature of the improvements required to
work the lead, q powerful check might be
placed on the "freezing out" process. We
hear of several instances in which compa-
nies have piled up at the mouths of their
mines tons of good ore which the Trustees
refused to have crushed whilst at the
same time they continue from month to
month to levy crushing assessments. The
poor stockholders in these companies are
perfectly aware that the con6scation of
their shares is aimed at but they are
powerless to avert the blow. They can
not compel the Trustees to crush the ore,
and thus obviate the necessity Of further
assessments; but must finally succumb to
transparent swindle. We might cite
number of mines that are considered good,
that are now undergoing this cut throat
process but they will suggest themselves
to every one who has paid the slightest
attention to the subject. Here is q chance
for the law to step in and protect those
who are weak and powerless. Trustees
should be held to personal liability for
neglect or refusal to make mine pay its
way when sufficiently developed to do SO;
it should be as much penal offense to
rob the stockholders of their stock by
.freeze out" assessments as it would be to
rob them or their dividends after they had
been paid over and the fact that the law
gives the Trustees almost unlimited power
in the management of mine, is an argu-
ment why it should also hold them to the
suictest responsibility for the abuse Of that
powers, F, Call.
