black ore to Salt Lake on Monday.
The ore goes $50 ounces to the ton,
and was taken from the black shaft
dump of the Meadow Valley. In
early days it was thrown away as be-
ing of no account, for the company
was then shipping $500 ore to San
Francisco. Some so tons Of this ore
were shipped to San Francisco, and
$4,000 was borrowed on it and the
mill erected by the company in Dry
valley. The 80 tons of ore were then
shipped to Swansea, Wales. The
company made net profit OF over
5000 per ton on the ore.

The governor of New York has Just
called in extra session its legislature, which
undertook to adjourn without providing
as its constitution requires, for census TO
be taken this year of the population of the
state.
1t is very strange how prone legislatures
are in these days to defy and spit upon the
constitutions of their states. One would
think that it would not occur TO legisla-
ture to undertake this, yet they do it as
easily and naturally as though they were
above the constitution. 1t used to be
thought that the constitution was the fun
dameItal law and had vigor enough to exc
cute itself, whenever its commands were
clear, and when they were not, that only a
judicial Interpretation was needed to give
them force. But it seems now that they
are of little account without an asserting
legislature, which must pass laws to
make the constitution effective and
if it don't, the constitution is dead
and the legislature lives and -four
ishes, and nobody can say aught
against it; nor can it be punished, nor any
thing be done to make it do what it is its
confessed duty to do.
How is this How is it that Pennsylya-
MAS legislature and New York's legisla-
ture can spit upon the state constitution
and the legislators escape punishment ?
