To Whom do the Mines Belong?

Up to the present time the Supreme Court
of this State, and of the United States, have
most successfully avoided answering these
questions: To whom do the minerals in the
public lands belong, the State or the Federal
Government And to whom do the min
erals in the Spanish grants belong, the State
or the grant owners! These are the impor-
tant questions solution of which the people
have been for years anxiously awaiting. We
are now likely to have our wishes gratified,
and Spanish grantholders will shortly know
whether they own the minerals in their
lands or not. II they do own them, they
should know it; if not, then the miner
should know it. The Butte Record thus
speaks of the case
The most important mining cause ever
tried in Butte county, was recently decided
by Judge Sexton. The name of the case is
Moore VS.. Shaw, and the material facts are
the following: Robert B. Moore is the own
er in fee, of body of land opposite the town
of Orovile, on the west side of Feather Riv-
er. This land is fit for nothing except mi
ming, and it contains large deposits Of auri-
ferrous gravel, which can be proitably
worked by hydraulic process. He derives
title by mense conveyance, from the Mexican
Government who granted the land of which
the premises in controversy are part, on
the 10Th ofJune, lS46, to the brothers Fer.
dandez. The Grant was confirmed by the
Land Commission, and on the 18th Of Oc
tober, 1857, a Patent was issued by the
President of tho United Staes.-The gran
ting words of the Patent contained no
clause reserving the minerals. In March
1860, Shaw, the defendant, entered upon the
land of plaintiff, and commenced extracting
the gold therefrom. The plaintiff alleges
that he took $4OO from the soil. This Shaw
does not deny, and sets up that the gold and
silver in the lands of California belong to the
State in its sovereign capacity. He also al.
leges that the State of California, as well as
the General Government has granted a H.
cense to all citizens of the United States, to
90 upon all the lands of the State, whether
public or private, and search for and appro
pirate the royal minerals-gold and silver.
For the purpose Of the suit the plaintiff ad
mis the existence of such license; and this
reduces down the controversy to the naked
quesion,-"'ro whom do the mines Of Cali
fornia belong!" To the owner of the soil, as
contended for by the plaintiff; or to the State
of California, as contended for by the defe',-
dant. Judge Sexton held that the owner
ship OF the soil carried with it the minerals
and from his decision The defendant has ap
pealed the case to the Supreme Court.

INTERFERING WITH PRovIDENCE.-We
have a curious story of proposed New
Churchman, who owns large pile OF
money, and is generally believed to love it
most dearly. A poor neighbor who was
greatly in need of a small loan, by which he
could save his little home from being forfeit
ed aud lost. He called on the man who
owned the money and requested little aid.
The man considered the case and at length
replied:
"Well, Mr.. Jones, have the money, it is
true, and could spare it, and would do so if
it we're not for one consideration. 1t seems
that Providence designs that you should suf-
fer this trial. and if | should help you out,
might interfere with the purposes OF Provi
dence in regard to you"

VEGETABLE SHIRTs.-The accounts Of
travellers have made us we'll acquainted with
the "5read tree" but it remained for the in
defatigable Humboldt to discover in the
wilds of South America, a tree which pro-
duces ready made shirts. We copy this ac-
count Of this tree: "We saw on the slope Of
the Cerra Duida," says M. humboldt, "shirt
trees fifty feet high. The Indians cut off
cylindrical pieces two feet in diameter, from
which they peel the red and fbrons bark,
without making any longitudinal incision.
The bark affords them sort of garment,
which resembles sacks of very coarse tex
ture, and without seam. The upper open
ing serves for the head, and two holes are
cut to admit the arms. The natives wear
these shirts of marina in the rainy season;
they have the form ofthe ponchos and ruan-
Gus of cotton which are so common in New
Granada, at Quito and in Peru"

learned that work is still being prosecuted
upon that immense mystery-thc floating
battery-commenced by the late Commo
dore Stevens, on a contract with the Gov
ernment. This enigma is carefully fenced in
from the prying scrutiny Of the public; and
it is believed that no newspaper reporter has
ever found his way into the sacred inclosure.
Rumor says that the battery is to be built
exclusively of iron. and that it will be strong
enough to stand the united broadsides of the
whole English fleet, among which it will
glide with pleasure, propelled by steam
and pour its dc aih volleys from hundreds of
portfolios. This battery has already been
seven or eight years in progress of c. nstruc-
tion; nearly million of dollars have been
spent upon it, and it Is yet nowhere near
completion. 1t is intended to be the prn-
cipal defence of the harbor.

A CALIFORNIA INcIDENT.-The denouc-
ment of one of those thousand and one sin
gular inciden which life in California is
constantly developing, occurred in Scott
Valley last week. Mr.. Marky left New
York in the year l849, bound for California.
He also left a wife and two small children,
little girl of five years and boy of three.
Last week his family joined him in Scott
Valley, after an absence Of eleven years.
The vcissitudes Of California life had fur
rowed the fathers brow; his hair, which was
of raven hue when, with bright hopes and
ardent expectations, he bid farewell to his
wife and children and set out for the golden
land, is now thickly interspersed with silver
hue. The little girl is just budding into
womanhood, and the baby boy has almost
reached mans estate. So long has it been
since they parted, and so changed was he,
that the wife, when they met, failed to re-
cognize the loved features Of him who,
seventeen years ago, had placed the wedding
ring upon her finger. Yreka Journal.
