rahan to the Panoche Grando Rancho, EN-.
bracing the New Idria Mine. Coming as q
rejected claim from the Supreme Court, and
branded by that body in language the sever
ity Of which IL almost unprecedented, 1t yet |
succeeded in overcoming the prejudces Of
committees and individuals until 1t secured
recognition at the hands Of men,
bsrs Of the House. The frauds and misrep-
RESERVATIONS used by McGarrahan and his
friends to secure lite passage through the
House, have already been exposed by state
ments heretofore published In this paper,
backed up aud Endorsed by record evidence
OF the very strongest aud most lncontroverti-
BILE character. ~ 1
After passing through the House, the bill
weut to the Senate for concurrence, and
there ii was indefinitely postponed, chiefly In
consequence Of damaging report from SEN
ator Williams, Of Oregon. Extraordinary
efforts were made to set aside this action OF
the Senate and restore the claim to Its orig
inal statss, and neither the finance measures
nor the tax bill, involving the interests Of the
whole nation, have called forth such strenu-
Gus efforts, or excited so much heat as this
claim Of q private individual to a quicksilver
mine.
Nothing daunted by three overwhelming
defeats, In which the weakness and utter
worthlessness Of his claim were exposed In
the most clear aud crushing msnusr-arst,
by the United States Land Commissloui Sec
ond, by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, and thirdly, by the scathlng report OF
this Senate committee above namcd--the
claimant again presents himself at the door
OF Congress aud asks for another hearing.
He prctends to bring new evidence In sup
port Of his claim, but he can bring none
worthy OF credence, as we demonstrated yes
terday, when we published record evidence
which completely dlsproved all that his de-
Tenders set up In his behalf.
What was satisfactorily disproved fifteen
years ago, cannot be established at this late
day by testimony of any value, especially In
connection with such men as Gomez, noto-
rious In the annals Of California land claims.
All the material facts bearing upon It are
matters Of record-have been so for years
