The great Los Angeles claim of Bur-

feated by the Secretary of the Inte-
rior's decision sustaining Commits
sioner Drummond, was one for per-
mission to purchase at ST 25 an acre
an immense tract of valuable lands
already thickly settled and improved.
Drummond, in summing up the appli-
cant's case, saws: "The limits of their
purchase are underlined; their possess
sion indefinite; their good faith as to
the tracts applied for questionable, at
least; and their Improvements OF no
appreciable value. 1t isadjudged that
they are not entitled tOpurchase under
said act by which they claim, and their
application is disallowed accordingly.
The claims of the settlers, under the
pre-emption and homestead laws, will
be adjusted regularly on their merits
when presented" "'PFs VI fts'' t'l|
