Prescriptions VS.. School Land
Warrants

1t will be observed that protest j.
published from citizens of Humboldt
county, against the location of School
Lund Warrants conflicting with the claims
OF pre-enptors upon the public lands.
Ihe question involved is strictly a legal
one. The act of Congress Of 1S4I, under
which the State of California became en-
titled to 100000 acres of land, and has
proceeded to convert the snme into school
land warrants, authorized their location
only on the surveyed public domain
They cannot he legally located until the
public lands are sectionsed, the surveys
returned to the Surveyor General, and
approved by the General Land Office ut
Washington. Then the no der ofa school
land warrant is entitled to go into the
Land Office and select and locate accord
lug to the u. S. surveys, provided the
land is vacant. The consequence, is that
all surveys and locations under State au-
thorlty, previous TO that time, are simply
void and of no effect.
Under the pre-emption la ws of S4l and
of 1853, especially the latter with refer
ence to California, the pre-emptor has Il
right to settle on the unsurveyed public
""'''A'" VI 'HC ~ H'tCu CtutcS. Ilc ICpu't
Is, the pre-emptOr settles according to law
and by right; has a legal entry and pos
session, and will hold over the school
warrant, whether it was located before or
after his sett ement, if the land was
vacant, or not covered by any valid Span
ish or Mexican grant.
AS the lawyers would say, the pre-
emptor is in by right, and the school war
rant in wrongfully. The land officers of
the Y. ;. Government will never permit
a few spectators to monopoize all the
hest sections of the public domain in Cali
fornia, to the exclusion of actual settlers.
1t is also a violation of the spirit of the
laws of the United States Congress in
another respect. After the public lands
are surveyed, before they are liable to
private entry at the minimum price, it
is necessary that they be offered at pub.
lie auction in the land office, where the
highest bidder is entitled to purchase,
with regard to all land not covered by
valid pre-emptions, or which may not
have been previously selected for school
purposes or purposes of internal improve
ment. But these latter selections must

survey, and according to the acts of the
