Very Important huIing In the Land
Office.

Very Important ENuIing In the Land
Office.
Register Hetzel and Receiver Iinthicum,
of the United States Land Office in this
city, yesterday made very important rul-
ing. 1t was in 3 contest between claimants
to lands near Michigan Bar, and the issue
was between the mineral ard agricultural
characters of The land. a small part of
the land it is found is suitable for culdya-
ton, but the agriculturist is hampered By
lack Of water The ground is rocky, the
soil Thin and The deposits OF tailngs from
old mining large. The decision goes on to
say that . mining has been heretofore
successfully conducted on portions of
the tract by the hydraulic process
and It does not appear that its mineral Ca
pacities have been exhausted. On the con-
trary, large portion OF it, at least twenty
five acres IN one spot, IS virgin, graEelly
ground, presumably as valuable for hy
draulic mining as hat heretofore worked.
Moreover, the large deposits OF talllngs
have never been worked over. The evi-
dence as to their mineral value is not
direct but experience has shown that with
improved appliances and cheaper labor
these relics OF old mining days possess q
present positive value. In the case at bar
the evidence shows that they unfit the
land for agriculture uses. The fact of sue
cessful farming being carried on TO q greater
or less extent, and the fact that great poE-
ton of the land is suitable for certain
character of grazing, does not at all mill
tate against the superior value o!
the land for mining uses. 1t is the
rule rather than the exception in the
mining districts of the lower foot
hills that the land, although of high
value for mining, possesses certain value
for agricultural uses. What this Office has
reconsider is whether that land is more
valuable for mineral or for agricultural
purposes.
It is intimsted by the contestant that
remunerative mining has ceased on the
tract by reason of the operation of ipjunc-
tions issued from the Courts under their
decisions on what is familiary known as
the 'slickens' question. The construction
of law, the basis of these iDjunctioDs, has
never been affirmed by the Supreme Cour
of the United States, nor has it ever beer
made by the General Land Office basi:
for consideration in the determination o
the mineral or non- mineral character Of the
public domain.
"Should such construction of the Law
become final, should all hydraulic mimi
in California tbereupon of necessity cease
it may still be fairly presumed that the in
genuity of the American people will prov
equal 10 the emergency and will devils
means whereby, without infraction of th
laws, the precious metals contained in he
soil may be proftably extracted and add Il
her material wealth.

Capitalists never had better opportunity
for the investment Of money than is offered
to- day in Sacramento. Careful inquiry
develops the fact thu, i IS almost impossi-
bic TO find vacant house in the city that

would go to housekeeping al once if they
could find suitable houses. They had

rent can get return of two per cent. per
month for his money, and have tenants in
every house before The paint is dry. The
