10 SWAMP AND ~OVIREL0WED
LANDS FOR NEVADA.

1t has been a disputed question
whether the State of Nevada is or not
entitled to the benefit of the Act of
Congress granting swamp and over
flowed lands to the various States.
The impression generally prevailed at
one time that Nevada was entitled to
these lands, and was in fact in the ac-
tual ownership of the same, without
wen the preliminary surveys. The
question having been raised before the
L. S. Land Commissioner, the inter
ests of this Stale were represented by
Messrs. BrittOn Il Gray, the States
attorneys. Commissioner Drummond
has rendered a decision adverse to the
State, deciding that the Act applied
only to those States in actual existence
at the date of its passage. We are in
debted to the Surveyor General Of
Nevada for the following copy of the
opinion filed by the Commissioner:
