From the Carson Appeal Of May 2lst.l
The great contest over the ques-
tion of the mineral or non-min.
eral charcter of the lands at the
northern li,uits of Virginia City
(hithertO described here as in dis
pute between Parke d Bowie, and
the Virginia and Gold Hill Water
Company was begun yesterday in
the | nited States Land Office
here before Mr.. Register Waltz
who returned yesterday morning
fiom San Francisco. On the non
mineral side of the question are
arrayed Messrs. II. ID. Edwards
and Mr.. Adrian G. Ellis, of Carson
and on the mineral side (and we
have a notion there is a good deal
of "mineral" on that side) is no
less a formidable force than is
herewith indicated, namely
Mesick & Wood, Lewis Il Deal
Williams IL BiXler, and MIR. Jonas
Seeley. We suppose it is general
ly understood that the more I'M
portant parties at issue IN TINS
are the Central Pacific Rallwa!
Company upon the nOn-mlnera
side, aud the General Interests O
the COmStOck mine own. RS on tnt
other. This state OF the case II
what makes it of so very grave
importance; and we suppose II
will take Judge Waltz at least
fortnight to go through VITA tnt
hearing of it, and how long 1t VII
have to null and stew in Wash
ington the fates alone can tell.
