ANOTHER NEW STOCK LAW.

The usual uukerinE with the stock Laws
has commenced in the legislature and the
whole scheme will be put upon a new
hasis, as has been usual at every legisla-
tive session for many years past. At the
last session the law was so changed that
the fund realized from the sale of MAYER
i,ks was turned over to the territorial
treasury. 1t was then given out that the
mavericks had always been a bone of con-
%tention and the only way to settle the
matter was to turu over the funds rea-
lied from their sale to the territorial
treasury. The promoters Of the bi said
hey wanted an appropriation Of $4,000
nd in consideration Of this would give up
G ! claims to the mavericks, thcs urActi
ally giving To the territory about the
s,me mount as was appropriated in their
aid- 1t now appears that the
sole Of the mavericks has
not realized more than ons-6ith
OF the amount these gentlemen claimed il
\ luld. This year the matter is placed on
n other basis. Nothing is said about
mavericks but it is understood they will

ate is to appropriate sl0.0O0 for the

We believe, it is to be turned over to the
new board 10 addition it is to get all the
money realised from the sale of unclaimed
estraya
1t seems rather remarkable with all the
experience that has been had 10 the man

lation to protect it should invariably prove
10th expensive aud inadequate. Neither
the large nor the small owners have re-
esived adequate protection and whether
they will or not through the operation OF
