Hearing on Revision of Mining Laws Sparks Dispute
The House Mines and Mining Committee opened hearings April 27 on a proposed mining law revision led by Chairman W R Ingalls. The measure faces broad opposition from mining groups and press opinion, especially over apex law repeal, location prerequisites, proof of mineral, and cash in lieu of labor. Despite sentiment, Ingalls says industry seeks an updated law aligned with future mining conditions.

Miles Cannon a Misfit in the Governor's Cabinet
Under the caption Trials and Tribulations of the Commissioner of Agriculture the Miner reproduces a mimeographed correspondence between Jesse Freeman sheriff of Shoshone County and Miles Cannon commissioner of agriculture in Governor Davis' cabinet. The exchange concerns a $6 bounty for two coyotes, with Freeman sending the claim to Cannon who sought legal certs. The attorney general advised a district court certificate before payment. Freeman mocked the protracted procedure in a facetious reply, noting the absurdity of appealing to higher authorities.
