Act, approved February %, 1871:
Section /. All ores, tailings and min.

taxation for State and county purposes in
the following manner: From the gross
yield, return, or value OF all ores, tail
ings, or mineral bearing material, of
whatever character, there shall be de-
Quoted the actual cost of extracting said

The Maine Prison Barber's Shop.
Lewiston Journal


Here is the prisoR barber, down in
a corridor lighted by pair of lamps,
which make his shop look In the dis
tance like rude ssaltar with perpetual
tapers burning before it. His chair
is not one of those fat, swelling divans
in whose cushions you recline for a
shave, but a hard wooden seat with
shorter legs behind than before, so it
tips back little, and high back.
The barber does a wholesale bust
ness. He shaves all the convicts once
a week and cuts their hair once a
month.
When he is on a shaving expedition
he plants his chair in one of the shops.
One man sits down and is quickly
lathered and scraped. Then there is
none of your bay rum, or magnesia,
or puff balls, or camphoratea ice or
magnolia balm, or those other toilet
mysteries which the tonsorial artist
performs on the face of his customer
outside the prison. After the man is
shaved the barber does not fret over
him any, but it is ''Get out and wash
yourself" The prisoner tumbles out
and goes to the link, while another
man takes his place in the chair, In
this way the prison ban Der goes
through the shops.
He shaves the prison officers, and
they say he is good barber, Per
haps he is, and he May he a good fell
l0w-but no man who is in the state
prison may draw a razor over your
humble servants throat. It is bad
enough to be shaved by man who
ought to be IN prison.
