ancs Of Sutro In the Lobby Of the
House Of Representatives At WASH
ington, his procurement Of the intro
duction Of certain amendments, which
II adopted, would force every pros
pscting company upon the Comstock
lode TO mako application for patents
to their lands within ak months from
the passage Of the act or perfect their
claims aud which amendments also
had the effect to render each appll-
cation thus made and every patent
granted hereunder, subject to the In
famous lien OF Sutro's so-callsd roy
atty, we expressed the opinion that
there was something behind all this
which was not yet apparent. It now
comes out In special dispatches from
washingteu. Sutro had = paper Of.
fsrsd BY his seeming attorney, Mr..
Neelcy, In the House, which explains
his jealous efforts to so hedge up tho
way Of procuring patents that mono
can DO obtained without implicitly or
actually ~conssntlng to the lien Of roy
atty imposed by the sutro Tunnel Act.
Il may here be remarked that unless
the law IL unconstitutional, this Ii the
case now. But hero Is what Sutro
says:
Many have made application, but
have purposely neglected 70 take any
further steps to perfect their titles,
while others have received their pat
ents. But Ii n no longer DO shown
that they have formally accepted them,
for tho only evidence to that effect
tho duplicate receipts given-hayc
been stolen from tho Registers Office
at Carson. and the Register In tho Of
flce at tho time has disappeared. SEQ

cnts have been applied for, and the
