The ‘con-; testants first objected on the ground of variation in surveys, and afterwards that the real contest was below the surface, the Pittsburg Company having followed the ledge beyoud their line. On this point the Commissioner says: “The ledge, or vein, 4t seems, dips at an angle of 40 or 45 degrees, and as the poandary line between the companies on the surface does not cut the ledge at right angles with its course, but makes a smaller angle on the side of the Pittsburg Companys claim, that company in descending into the lode will necessarily get beyond the line, would bea perpendicular if the vein oceupied a vertical position, and this, it appears, is: what Williams & Co. contend the Pittsburg Company is obliged to do. It should be remembered, however, that no patent has yet been issued to this company,gnd if they are iow following the ledge in its downward progress, far beyond the line bounding their surface ground, it is not by virtue of any grant emanating from . thie office, bat under the authority conferred by the local mining regulations ; and’ if ‘their rights in that respect are such that Williams & Co. cannot restrain them now, when they document will not-confer-any greater) to get nd ot Truckee was based, namely, rights as to the manner of working under the local rales and customs of miners.” "There was no conflict as to the number of feet claimed by either company, ‘surface, and the Commissioner farther says that in such s conflict of interest Office would not be bound by a judicial decision; and that whatever.might be the determination in Court, the patent issued from the land office would. . still grant the right to follow the vein riations to any depth, although it may etiter the land adjoining. The. mining act-authorizes a grant to be made in this form, and no decision of a legal tribuual can nullify this statuary requirement.” The applicant for a pat ent may include surface land lying on either or both sides of the ledge, or he may apply for a patent to the vein alone; and his rights upen the latter are precisely the same, whatever may be the form of the surface ground, or whether he has any or not. His end lines and. the distance between them will be the same at all depths as upon the surface, no matter whether the ledge is vertical’'or whether it dips at a greater or less anglé. These rights are guaranteed by local custom as well as national jaw, and the Pittsburg Cé., and Williams & Co. alike possess the Nevada county. In cases of trespass the Courts are open to parties after or before the issuance ofa patent. The claim of Williams & Co., the Commissioner declares has pone of the inci dents of an adversé claim under the 6th séction of the mining act, and thata patent will be granted to the Pittsbarg ay '. Co; without farther delay. ed the destructioa of Sierra county, and-the—izgiats-+ tare, if it creates Donner, must conselidate Sierra with some other county. This would render it more inconvenient for the people of Downieville and other places in Sierra te reach a county sea than it now is for the people of Truckee. The Truckeites can leave home in the morning and reach Nevada by noon. Downieville is a full day's travel from the Court House im any county to which it could be attached ; so tliat, so far as Sierra is concerned, her people would lose more than the people of the proposed county could gain in the way of Convenience to the county seat. and would simply be wiping Sierra out of existence to create Donner. _ « To Nevada county the loss of Truckee and the railroad would not amount to the most valdable portion of the ditch property owned by several of our com panies, whose lines of ditch extend to the mines of the county. This is ‘val uable taxable property which the people of the proposed county have no interest or part in maintaining, the entire supply of water being used in mining operations in this county. Asite from the financial value of this property there are many potent reasons why Nevada county should have within her juris plies upon which the mines are dependent. The reason upon which a-desire } the great expense of criminal business +n that -section,-is not now.so potent as a yearorso ago. Since the railroad: work was completed, and the roughs have,to some extent, sought more genial localities, Truckee has settled down to @ quiet little town, and will not hereaiter give our officers so much trouble. For the people in upper Placer, along the line of the road, Auburn is as coavenient as Truckee as a county seat. The few mile difference in railroad travel amount to nothing. Accepting the financial showing of the assets of ‘Truckee as correct, the question comes up, whether the new county should be permitted to take all this property ‘which is, of course, part of the security forthe payment of the debts of the counties from which it is taken, and only pay its proportion of the debts as shown by the last ~QSSe88ment. If the estimate is true the tast assessment of Sierra, Placer and Nevada in the proposed new county was not for more than one-third the value of the property, and Donner county will come very far from paying her proportion of the debts of the old counties. If the estimate of property at $3,560,000 is fairly made, and not for buncombe, Donner county ought to be willing to make up the losses in the adjustment of the county indebtedness: Are the Donnerites willing to stand by their own figures?
