IAALRAVILLE. MaTcn lStn, 1901.
Mr. Editor:--I would like to know if the AS
of Placer county has the right to tax claim
of l60 acres of land in the mining districts. being
public land of the United States! And if he has,
and we taxpayers pay it, is there any law to pro-
tect us from the digging up of this same land
when trespassed upon b. any persons? The same
land being surveyed by the Government and le-
gally entered and recorded. AS you have from
time to time published laws relative to the in
terests of your subscribers, you would oblige one
by answering the above. Heretofore we have
paid for all improvements. stock, and all kinds of
personal property, but this taxing Uncle Sans
land, at from two to five dollars per acre is lit
tie too severe, as there would be but few persons
who would settle on land under such circumstan
ces, without some protection by State law from
being dug up daily by any man that may chance
to think there is gold in the land.
Respectfully yours,
John r. GWYNN.
The questions propounded by oul CORES
pondent are more properly addressed to the
judiciary than the editorial fraternity. We
can give, however, our opinion, made, it is
true, without any examination of authorities
but perhaprs better than no opinion at all.
lst. Have the Assessors a right to tax the
public lands of the United State, located
upon, and in the mines2 The Supreme Court
has decided that the State has right to tax
in such cases, but the second section of the
Revenue Act of 1854, says, "The following
property shall be subject to taxation: All
lands and lots of ground, ercept pre-emption
claims on lands belonging to the United
.States," dc.
2d. Can the possessors of such pre-emption
prevent the digging of it up by miners!-
This subject is decidedly mired,-by de
cision of the Supreme Court the goT in the
soil of the lands of California is decided to
be belonging to the State, and the Legsla-
ture has encouraged the miners above every
other class Practically, we should say, they
cannot prevent such annoyances.
We believe these remarks cover the queries
propounded.
