late decisions in the L. s. Land Of

mine, aud is excluded from the ope-
ration of such town site patent; as in
case Of a placer claim, the surface of
the ground is absolutely necessary to
the successful working Of the mine,
and 1t cannot be included in town
site entry or patent.
Comstock Lode Mines and the
Sutro Tunnel.-In cases Of applica-
tions for patents for mines on the
Comstock lode, hearings may he had
10 determine whether the mines in
question have been benefited or
drained by the Sutrn tunnel, but the
Commissioners of the General Land
Office will not attempt to interfere
with the right Of mine owners to ex-
ercise control and ownership over
their mines so long as they comply
with the requirements Of the law.
