Syllabus

<p>Constitutional Law — Appropriations by Legislature — Mining Bureau — Mandamus. — The act of March 14, 1889, appropriating the sum of one hundred thousand dollars for the support and maintenance of a mining bureau, does not conflict with any constitutional provision, and is not objectionable because it fails to state specifically on what fund the warrant is to be drawn, or that the money is appropriated out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated; and mandamus will lie to compel the controller of state to draw his warrant on the general fund for supplies furnished to the mining bureau, pursuant to the act, the demand for which has been approved and audited by the board of trustees of the mining -bureau and by the state board of examiners.</p>
