of consideration. The special correspondent
of that paper, after investigating the cipher

of his neighbors reports that "Mr. Tilden is
in good health. His habits are regular, and
his digestion good. His hopes run high.
His mind is as bright as q bell and he seeks
vindication of the great fraud He wants
the nomination, and is pretty confident of
securing it," If this report be true, it is of
no little Importance. Mr.. Tilden, if in good
health, is one of the greatest men in our

FOUR DECISIONS
In Regard to Public Lands by the Acting
Secretary OF the Interior.

lin Regard TO Public Lands by the Acting
Secretary or the Interior.
In the case of Schmitt VS.. Knouf the acting
secretary of the interior holds that a contest
should not be allowed in favor of a homestead
claimant against pre-emptor who has pre-
viously filed for the land unless the latter
comes forward in the manner required by law
and makes final proof of his claim. In case
of failure by the pre-cmptor to offer such
proof the homestead settler is in no jeopardy,
and to order hearing on his application tends
to needless litigation, detrimental to both
public and private interests.
The acting secretary of tho interior has
affirmed the decision of the general land office
denying the application for patent upon the
Yankee mining claim, Carson City, New,
upon the ground that the land is now min
eral.
| In the case of "A. Martin VS.. Aaron Pugh
Marysville, Cal, the acting secretary of the
interior has decided that the filing of the
preliminary affidavit, under tho act of June
3, 1878, does not operate as q complete segre-
| CATION of the land, and that the timber claim
ant acquired no rights on filing such an alfi-
| davit, unless he shows on the day fixed by
| the expiration of the sixty days of publica-
tion that the land is more valuable for the
| timber growing thereon than for agricultural
or other purposes, and until such time the
| land ia open to entry by the first legal appli-'
cant under the homestead or pre-emption
| laws, subject only to the rights of the timber
claimant as determined by the hearing.
In the case of the Caledonia Mining COM
| pany vs. Rowen, Marysville, CAL, the acting
secretary of the interior has reversed the de-
csion of the commissioner of the general
land office, and holds that it is competent for
q mineral claimant traversing the return of
| the surveyor general that the land is agri-
cultural, to show his rights by proving tho
relatively inferior rights of the agricultural
claimant, and also, that land upon which
placer mining has for several years paid the
expenses of tho hydraulic improvements and
of the working, though without net profits, is
valuable for minerals
