THE RIGHT TO THE MINERALS

THE RIGHT TO THE MINERALS
j. w. Denver has written letter on
this subject to Capt. c. Welsh of San
Francisco. He says the policy of the
General Government has always been,
and still is, to leave the mines for all to
work, so long as there is no interference
with the right to the fee; and that the
reason why suit was commenced against
the New Almaden claimants, was be-
cause they set up title adverse to that
of the United States.
He takes the common ground that
the mines of precious metals are part
of the eminent domain, which belongs
alone to the sovereign authority of the
State; and that the United States Gov
eminent is simply great land owner
in the State, with no other rights than
such as belong to any other land-holder.
He contends from this that the right
to the mines of precious minerals is
with the State; thinks that so long as
they are left free for all to work they
ought to be let alone; but that the
State ought never to allow any infringe
ment upon her sovereign right, no mat
ter from what source it comes.

SIGHING TO RETURN.-A friend,
writing from Massachusetts, saws sd

SIGHING TO RETURN-A friend,
writing from Massachusetts,, says:-"I
frequently encounter returned Califor-
MANS, and they all express desire to
return. Why is it? Very few of them
wish to 60 to the new diggings in Kan
sas, SO it can not be merely gold they are
after. / think it must be principally
your climate that attracts them. What
everybody thinks, as well as what every
body says, must be true so of course Cali
fornia must be a pleasanter place to spend
life in than steady old Massachusetts,"
You are right old friend. It's climate
makes California the paradise State of
the Union, and recollections of it must
come across the wanderers mind like a
balmy dream.
But there is something better even
than the climate, which renders our State
attractive. There is equality, indepen-
dence, freedom from arbitrary restraint
and tyrannous conventionalism. There
is full scope for each mans individual
ity to assert itself, and wealth to be ac-
quired without robbing our fellows; for
every dollar gained here is one more
added to the general fund, not taken
from the small store of the needy. In
the words Of the song
"IIealth, wealth and liberty here may be found;
The spirit Of freedom seems breathing around.";
And that is why the Californian signs
to return.
