LEGALIZING ACTS
One General Legalizins ACT Might Save
a Good Many Specific ones-Selt-
Government Failure.

Special to Times Republicans.
| Des Moines. March 25.-Legalizing
acts have become more numerous than
ever before and IL one takes a SURVEY
of the published volume of session laws
next summer he may be convinced that
self government is q failure in Iowa.
Such large number Of persons who
are clothed with authority either do
not know how to carry out the laws,
or knowing, neglect to do their duty,
a great deal of the time of the legiS-
lature Is taken up with work in legal
izing what has been done illegally.
Town councils and school boards are
the worst offenders. They borrow
money and build houses and raise taxes
without considering the plain pfovis-
ions of the code and rely on their legis :
lators to fix it up. Already about
twenty legaiizing acts have become
laws. The number Of bills that have
gone into effect by reason Of publica-
ton clauses is forty, and at least half
these are directly or indirectly legaliz-
Ing acts. Sixty-six bills have reached
THE ulllGG VI Sci StdkS VI oeosS 1890 eAAS
signature of the governor. A legalizing
act introduced just a few days ago s
one of those sweeping acts which are
generally looked upon with suspicion
by the legislators. Two years ago
there was one relating TO the legalizing
OF all transfers where the dover In
terest of wife or husband had been
disposed of by the partner under a
power of attorney. 1t caused a great
deal of discussion and in one form in
which It appeared was denominated
bill to legalize everything Illegal about
land transfers. The bill just introduc-
ed declares TO be legal all acts OF all
school boards in Iowa, since the adop-
ton of the present code In relation TO
the exercise of the statutory powers OF
all school boards where any question
arises as to the legality because of
failure to give the statutory notice be-
fore the school meetings. The reason
for this enactment lies in the fact that
the supreme court has recently decided
that school board can not exercise
the enumerated powers of the statute
save. in cases where due notice has
been given the electors by the secre-
tary of the board. II is probable there
fore that general legalzing act would
save a good many specific legalizing
acts in the future.

OIinghOuse Notes.

The veins in this district has been
explored to the 300 foot level and
have produced large quantities of
payable free milling ore with which
have been found native copper ores,
but not in sufficient quantity to add
any value to the veins. Silver lead
ore of shipping values has also been
found. Specimen gold ore from 81
per pound up to $50 per pound show
ing crystal and wire gold has also
been extracted. The sulphide ores
Of Tiger and White Horse canyons
carry from two to one hundred and
fifty ounce gold per ton and from
thirty-ive to one thousand ounces
silver per ton. The outlook of the
district for this year is exceedingly
promising.

TOnOpah Stocks Tumble Down
With Advent of the Railroad.

AAAb CAAN Va III y
Everyone naturally looked for a
big raise in Tonopah stocks upon the
completion of the railroad to that
thrifty burg. The reverse has been
the action. Instead of the stocks
going up as was the expectation they
have had a reef gathered in them
that has set the stockholders think
ing.
Since the railroad entered the town
there has been a great deal of ore
shipped out. Every train contains
ore and the contract with the Ton
opah company Is enough to keep the
road humming for many years. With
this kind Of a showing there is no
furry in the stock market, while
many of the best regarded stocks
have been quoted at a less price on
the San Francisco board than two
months ago when the ore was hauled
out IN mule teams.
With this kind of a showing there
is something decidedly wrong. The
bear element has about had it's run
of affairs and it is time that the
stocks of the camp took the stand
that they are entitled.
The fact that the camp and the
mines are prospecting would, in mos
sections send the stocks booming
The showing alone that has beer
made at the Midway mill should bring
every mine in the district up a few
notches. Nearly one hundred anC
fifty bars of bullion have been shipped
from the mill alone, to say nothing o
the vast fortunes that have gone ou'
in the form of ore to the smelters
Could the entire amount be summed
up it would be a general surprise t.
the people who are looking TOWARD
Tonopah to make their fortunes.
All that is needed out the Tonopal
way to send stocks down is a railroad
or a strike of rich ore in any of th,
shafts. Some have contended tina
the corporations have overstocked
but even those who are working will
a small amount are in the same con
dition, so the peculiar condition o
the market cannot be contributed t,
that cause. 1t is about time for th.
heavy holders to get in and asser
themselves and show their confdenc
in the camp and give the stock mar
ket the right kind OF a deal.

THE sMELTER's MISTAKE.

A clique of eastern tenderfeet,
Once thought to buy a mine;
1t was steadily producing
The returns were simply fine.
The owner, a nice blur old man,
Had acquired quite a pile,
And though he didu't care TO sell,
He would If twas worth while.
So they sent their eastern expert out,
He wore glasses and top boots,
A nice new yellow canvas coat,
OF these he had two suits:
The ore was all tellurium
or the sylvanity kind
And is Of course deceptive
To the unfamiliar mind.
He took a piece Of solid ore
Worth thousands to the ton,
Looked at it closely with his glass
And turned it in the sun;
AT last gave his decision;
"Why you folks here are sold,
That rock is simply '~kesundite,
And can contain no gold.'
Then up spake Mr., Mineowner,
In an approving kind of tone;
you're the hrSt one that has noticed it,
And to that I'll truly own;
For three years the smelters bought it,
But you're the first I've met
Who seemed to know the difference;
Why, they don't know it yet y
