TIE 10 AND 81 SECTIONS.
1t occurs to me as important, that our Legislature
should bring one matter. touching the 10th and Sth
Sections Of each township. donated BY Congress for
school purposes, prominently before that body, and
I trust that you will not fall TO press this matter
earnestly upon the consideration Of the next Legis-
lature.
Valley States, with their immense tracts OF agricul.
tural lands. possess great value, and constitute =
great source or revenue TO the School Funds in those
~States-because they arc likely TO be surveyed BY the
General Government, and open 10 entry and sale.
But with those elevated and almost barren lands Of
the mineral States, between the Rocky and Sierra
Nevada mountains, which are not liable TO be sur
veyed 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 Coy.
eminent, much OF value, asa tource OF revenue Tor
our Public School system.
To place these mineral States upon an equality
| with those ofthc Atlantic, In regard TO these 10th and
18th Sections Of each township-and no doubt Con.
gress so designed. In making the Donation. II should
survey and open our mineral lands FOR entry and
sale, (Which. It is not possible. will be done.) or allow
the State the minimum value. the Government nxeJ
upon newly surveyed lands open for sale. In money.

public lands In the Union. The reasonableness OF
This suggestion would. ! am confident, challenge tho
assent and secure the cooperation OF q majority or
that body, whose generous action. In behalfo public
education, has ever been q marked characteristic.
Confess my ss,onIshment that our sSafpsisSted,
eourageou, and worthy Governor. did not interpose
his veto to the bill Of the last Legislature. 10 ALLEVIATE
lands In the Stat, located In the agricultural valleys
Of Carson, Eagle. Washoe. Steamboat and Truckee.
for the psltry sum Of ave dollars an ACRE, about the
price Of half.oreed scrip, and probably a little more
than the annual rental these aliensted school lands
would command. II wasa nice Job for the owners
but as 70 the Justice or this legislation, ! I'M unable
to comprehend, with the limited information l pos.
sess on the subject.
able school lands remain untaken, they will be dis
posed Of IN 3 manner more consistent with the IN.
terest Of the School Fund, than those sections allen.
ated by the law under consideration.
