before allowing it to be entered as minars Eee . ff F WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1868. MINERAL LANDS AGATIN.—It has “been the prictice of dhe Land Office on . this coast to require proof of the mineral character of each forty acre tract eral lands. All ground was held to be agricultural until the contrary was _proved. This ruling and the nature of . . Required. It can easily be seen how ' much trouble it is to obtain this evi~--denee,; asthere are few persons who *~ ship on miners. The affidavit of two persons not at all interested in the amines, but residing upon the land was know the nature of land or who reside upon claims unless holding some inter. est in them. Fortunately for the min+ ers the Commissioner has issued instructions to the Land Office at. Marys. Ville, under which these difficulties alluded to will beavoided, The Commissioner says: “You dre specially advised not to suffer entries to be consummated as “agricultural” entries, where there is aprima facia showing, or wher there is good reason to believe that the predominating value of the land ap-. " plied for consists in its deposits of gold; silver, ecupper, quicksilver, or coal, without a full investigation upon sufficient notice to parties ad~ versely interested, and furtlier instructions-from this office, after an examina-. tion of the testimony thus taken, which you are directed to transmit with your joint opinion thereon.” We do. not know that the Land Office at Sacramento has received the same instructions or not, but the rule is as applicable to mineral lands in one district as in another. There is of course good reason to believe that all lands located within the rauge of the mining districts is more valuable for mining than . for agricultural purposes. ‘This order . Ofthe Commissioner is but /in aecordance with the old rule adopted in 1865, by which it wags required that where land was located within the mineral range it was held to be mineral land . . until the contrary was: proved, and vice versa in the agricultural sections.. This ~ Yule would secure both miners and agriculturiste in their rights, State Orricers.—The Grand Ensampment of the I. 0.0.
