the town should treat and board every

contagious disease. This thing of letting

afterward is distinctly inhospitable and

The Mining Law.

week an interesting review of Mine In,
spector CAROLS biennial report. In
several particulars he thinks the best
law ever can be amended. He wants
more time for visits to mines, oil - per-
cent. lard, power to obtain statistics, the
alternative by miners-stop complaining
of short weight or furnish check.
weigher, power to close mines or parts
of mines wherein the law is violated

elucidates the best law ever made it is a
question whether the Act of 1878 has
ever been improved.
