WALKER VS.. CAVANAH.
THIS IMPORTANT CONTEST DECIDEn
by THE LAND OFFICE.
Major Cavanah Entered the Land IN
Coed Faith and His Entry Must Stand
Tile Land Held to be Desert Land.

The case Of Lewis Walker agains,
Frank +. Cavanah, in the Halle,
Land Office, is ended. 1t was a con.
test of the desert land entry made at
the north end of what is now HALEY
ny Major Cavanah, about three
years ago. At that time Bellevue.
hetcbum and Galena were mere trad.
ing stations, the mines of Bullion had
hut just been discovered, not a fence
or building could be seen, in any d.
rectlon, within five miles of what is
now called Haley, and there was but
one log cabln-that of G. p. Crows
between Bellevue and Bullion. There
was not "A single Roof in all this ro-
9Ion, scarcely house with floor
and the principal hab;tat;ons were
tents. The land hereabouts which did
not contain mineral was worthless-as
much 50 as that on the bench north.
within three miles of HALEY, is beldto
be to-day.
About that time Ma jor Cavanah +
W. I. Riley, E. S. Chase and others
took up some sections of desert land
and proceeded to have them fenced.
The following spring they set about
improving their lands. They tor their
agents. continued to improve their
lands until three months ago, at the
beginning Of this suit, they had ex-
pended between 100000 and $4,000
n such Improvements. The principal
hitch or canal alone cost them over
$4,000. Others,w who leased from them.
llso expended large sums in improve
nenis, until to-day the lands referred
o are quite valuable.
The following summer, other par.
les endeavored to enter on the s,n,o
ands. This was resisted by the orir-
nal claimants, but the late corners, or
jumpers, maintained their preten-
IONS and, step by step, the case final
