R. F. Carothers v. J. T. Robison, Commissioner of General Land Office.
    No. 2395.
    Decided November 27, 1912.
    Constitutional Law—Case Followed.
    The statute reserving to the State the right to minerals in school land sold as _ agricultural or grazing lands (Revised Statutes, art. 3498n) is not unconstitutional. Article 14, section 7, of the Constitution applies only to titles created previous to its adoption. Cox v. Robison, 105 Texas, 426, followed.
    Original application by Carothers to the Supreme Court for writ of mandamus against the Commissioner of the General Land Office.
    
      Boss & Hubbard, for relator.
    
      Jewel P. Lightfoot, Attorney-General, and John L. Terrell, Assistant, for respondent.
   Mr. Justice Phillips

delivered the opinion of the court.

The right of the relator in this case to the writ of mandamus applied for, is based upon the unconstitutionality of Article 3498n of the Revised Statutes of 1895. The ease is disposed of by our holding in Cox. v. Robison, decided this day, to the opinion in which reference is made. The mandamus is refused.

Mandamus refused.
