foisted upon the county.
Mr.. Warner argued that all claims
should be recorded at the county seat
and that either the Office OF MINING
recorder should be abolished and the
records kept at the county seat, or the
county recorder should have deputy
in each district.
The bill failed to passages, o.
nays, 10.
House bill No. 95, relating to the same
matter, was then taken up, ana AFTER
being read was laid over until after
noon.
REFORM SCHOOL REVENUES.
House bill 1877, relating to the removal
of the reform school, as amended, was
then taken up and passed.
SNOW PERSISTENT.
Mr. Snow asked unanimous consent
that house bill 165, ~nbstitute, De taken
I'D, which was objected to by Suther-
land. it having been rejected. Unanl-
mons consent was afterward given to
Mace the mea sure on the calendar, ana
it came up later in the day.
LEGISLATIVE EXPENSE.
House bill $50, providing for an ap-
propriation of $4,000 for the regular
and contingent expenses of the legls-
lature was called I'D and Mr.. cannon
moved that the amount be MADE SlO,OOo.
The amount necessary would be
s.. 459. so. as reported by the clerks of
the senate and house. Ere the matter
could be passed on it was re-
ferred to the appropriation committee.
DOVER BILL.
House bill ., providing for the right
of dover, was then passed. Evans, Al
lison and Cannon voting no.
COAL MINE INSPECTOR.
House bill 46, an act for the protec-
ton of the lives of coal miners. came
up on first reading Warner moved to
strike out the enacting clause.
Mr.. Cannon forsook the chair and
opposed the motion. There was no
question of more Importance to the
people of the state than this. The &C
cident or calamity at Amy few years
ago was a warning to the state, or
should be.
Evans-Did they have an inspector?
Cannon-I believe they did.
Evans-But it did not prevent the
accident?
Cannon-No, sir. But had he done
his duty, as proposed in this act, 1t
would not have happened.
Sutherland urged the passage of the
bill and was joined by Glen Miller,
while Candland objected to the state
paying the expenses of inspectors.
Other business men have to pay this
charge and why not coal miners? If
the bill was amended he would vote
for it.
Booth urged the passage of the bill
Warner declared the provisions of the
bill were impracticable. The reports
provided for were of so voluminous
character as to render the making of
them impossible. The expense provid-
ed for was too great and if the bill
passed it ought to be amended so as
to limit this outlay of money. 1t will
not meet the approval of the public.
r. G. Miller said the miners and
mine owners were unanimous in de-
string an inspector and he hoped the
snacting clause would no. be stricken
out.
Evans said it was asking no more
Of a mine owner to pay the expenses
Of inspection than a merchant should
De compelled to pay for an examination
IF his scales.
The motion to strike out the enacting
clause failed and the senate adjourned
or dinner.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Senate bill 95, providing for the man
Ter of locating mining claims was TAX
N up after dinner.
Mr.. Sutherland moved to strike out |

,eptional section, section 9, ought to

aw and it would be better to leave the
aw as provided in United States stat
ties. At this late day it was danger
ut to attempt to make any changes in
his law. The whole bill seems to be a
umble in this, that it adds to and |
axes from the United States law in
many instances, most unwisely.
Mr.. Booth said section only pro-
ided for the amount of dirt to be re-
moved and it was necessary only to
mend the present law to accomplish
his purpose. This law is needed one
nd ought to be passed.
A motion to strike out all the sec
ions and a motion to strike out the
nacting clause both prevailed and the
i'll was killed.

horizing the claims committee of the
