any proceeds can be realized from the grant OF lands

1t occurs TO me as important. that our Legislature
should bring one matter. touching the 10th and Seth
Sections Of each township, donated BY Congress for
school purposes, prominently before that body, and
l trust that you Will not fail TO press this matter
earnestly upon the consideration Of the next LeSIs-
These schoolsections, In the Easterna and Mississippi
Valley States, With their Immense tracts Of ngricul.
tural lands, possess great value, and constitute a
Stales-becausc they are likely 10 be surveyed by tho
General Government. and open TO entry and sale.
But with those elevated and almost barren lands OF
the mineral States, between the Rocky aud Sierra
Nevada mountains. which are no, liable 10 be sur.
vcyed TO any great extent, or to be entered or sold.
the matter Is essentially different. They cannot
have, under the present regime OF the Federal Gov
crnment, much Of value, asa source OF revenue for
