A correspondent writing from
Campo SeGo states that the Copper
Company has been crippled all winter
and been unable to do much on
account of the bad condition of the
roads. He further states that the
company has expended no less than
$1,000 on its own account on roads and
that had it been met even half way,
would have been able to keep the
works running right along. He
further says that no road overseer
has even inspected the roads, much
less fix or made suggestions in regard
to the same. The nearest overseer
resides at Burson. 1t may be that
somebody has swiped his umbrella
and gum boots, and he can't get

The last legislature passed a law,
which the governor has signed, max
ing it compulsory on hunters to pay
81 year for the privilege of hunting
if they are residents of the state; If
nonresidents of other states $40
year, and if non residents S25 year.
The bill also provides for tagging
citizens with an aluminium tag so that
they may be known as hunters. The
law will effect those who obey it foi
they will be just that much money
out of pocket, but it will be so
generally ignored that no attempt
will be made to enforce it. The laws
is only in keeping with lot of other
fool laws passed by the last legis-
Iature. Calaveras Chronicle.

overcome it, is the question. There
is no doubt that organized action is
necessary and indispensable in the
matter. 70 attain this unity of
action, it appears that 1t will be
