LAND.

Ed. COURIER the instructions
Of the U. S. Land Office, and the decisions
of the Commissioner as published in the
Union, the "TURNING POINT" in all con-
tests between agricultural and mineral
claimants is as to what the land is most
valuable for for agricultural or mining
purposes Land may contain some min
eral but not enough to pay for the labor
and expense of working it. Such land is
classed as agricultural. If a gulch, creek
or fat, which pays for mining, extends
through or upon 40 or 160 acre tract of
land, it does not necessarily follow that
all of that 40 or 160 acre tract is more
valuable for mining than agriculture, and
that the whole tract should be condemned
as mineral land. Further, if a gulch, creek
or fiat, extending through or upon 40 or
100 acre tract, has heretofore been mined
out, or nearly so, it does not follow that
the balance of the 40 or $50 acres will
pay to mine also, Or is really worth more
for mining than agriculture. There is
hundreds Of acres in this county on which
the ''color" can be founed, but which will
not pay to mine, and all such land is clear
ly open to pre-emption, "Bed Rock" to
the contrary Notwithstanding.

A FACT TO REMEMBER-At an election
for State Senator, held Immediately aftet
the Grant and Colfax campaign il Solano
and Yolo counties, the majority against
Hon. Charles Reed in Yolo, which is his
own county, was 446; whereas the same
county gave only the year before, in the
Presidential contest, 81 against. This
shows Reed to be a very popular man, and,
of course when he can show this record, we
are led to believe he will have to improve
some in order to win this Congressional
fight The truth is when such fact as
this is known, it is evident that we should
drop our weak men and take those who we
know will carry us on to victory.-Sierra
