A rich strike of tin ore is reported in
the New York mica mine eight miles
west of this place. The ledge is report
ed to be six feet wide and the ore to run
from 0 to 20 per cent tin. Some Of the
finest specimens of tin ore ever found
are being taken from the mine. 1t is
said that car load of the ore will be

The Last Legislature.

The governor has not approved all the
bills passed by the legislature. nor will
he, says the State Register. He vetoed
one bill providing for publishing several
official reports. He will allow several

signature The result Of the late session
is coming out gradually, and while it was
known great changes were made in the
laws, ii was not known that such sweep
ing changes were made. Applicants for
admission 10 the bar will have to have
different qualifications than heretofore.
This will effect all who apply for admis
sion hereafter as the law goes into effect
with an emergency. The drug stores,
saloon men, tax title dealers, county Of
icers, butter handlers, county commits,
sioners, state institutions and boards,
dealers in oil and white lead, in fact, all
the people of the state are more or less
afected by the recent legislature.
