OF California, was finally settled by the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Almada case-it is proper to say
the Government holds and claims the title to
the property embraced in the decision to which
reference is made. The new Quicksilver Mining
Company, it is believed holds the title under q
Mexican grant to Savers, which was confirmed
by the Supreme Court several years ago, but that
confirmation. when the surveys we're made under
IT, left out the richest portion Of the mines which
were worked by the Almada Company, and now
decided to be the property of the Uuited States.

is still in litigation, and pending before the SUI
preme Court, in which the United States and
Quicksilver mining Co. are parties. The Quick.
silver mining Co. was organized under the laws
of Pennsylvania, and issued eight million dollars
of stock The annual net earnings Of the mines
are estimated at about $750,OOO dollars.
