Important Decision.

The San francisco Wing publishes the de-
ci.ion of Judges HayJenfeldt and Wells IN the
case of Hicks, et al. vs.. Bell, et al. According
to this decision the mineral wealth of this State
belongs TO the people of California and not OF
the United States, was heretofore very gen.
orally supposed 10 be the case. If the position
assumed by these gentlemen is sustained by the
Supreme Court at Washington, it will prove the
most important decision ever made by Cali
toFnia Court,
1t was argued by the appellants, against
whom the Judges gave this decision, that the
land in question 1--WE quote from the opinion)
is the public land Of the United States, and
therefore the statutes of this State, which re-
cognize Ihe possessions of miners, which pro-
vide for their protection, and require mining
claims to be decided according to the rules and
regulations OF bodies OF miners at each particu-
lar mining locality, afe mere police regulations,
and ARE invalid to couler any right such as that
Of possession, to enable the recovery thereof
This position Of course involved the question
Ito whom do the mines of gold and silver be-
IongF After quoting numerous authorities
sustaining the position that the mineral lands
in California belong to the people Of this State,
ths Judges continue:
1t is hardly necessary at this period of our
history to make an argument to prove that the
several States of the Union, III virtue OF their
respective soverelgnties, entitled to the iura
regaa which pertained to the King at common
law. An analogous question to the one under
consideration, was fully discussed in the .Su-
preme Court of the United States, in the case of
Polard's lessee rs. Hogan 3 How 1t was there
held, in the case OF new State, that she was
admitted into the Union upon the same footing
as the original States, and possessed the right OF
eminent domain. Numerous other cases can be
cited IN which the decisions uniform, that
the United States has no municipal sovereignty
within the limits of the States.
In reference TO ownership of the public lands
the United States only occupies the position OF
any private proprietor, with the exception of an
express exemption from State taxation The
mines of gold and silver in the public lands are
us much the property of this State by virtue OF
her sovereignty, as are similar mines i'll the lands
of private citizens She has, therefore. solely
tie right to authorize them to be work ed to pass
laws for their regulation, to license miners and
10 athx such terms and conditions as she may
deem proper TO the freedom of their USE liz
her legislation upon this subject. she has estab-
ished the policy of permitting all who desire it,
to work her mines of gold and silver with or
without conditions and she has wisely provided
that their conflicting claims shall be adiudicated
by The rules and customs which may be estab-
lshed by bodies of them working in the same
vicinity. According To this enactment, the case
under consideration has been tried and decided
and for aught that is disclosed by the record
the decision is consonant with right and Justice
