legged by a special agent of the land Office,

ing. 1t was held that these entries were
made for the benefit of the land COM
pany, and were therefore void.
Assistant Land Commissioner Stone,
has rendered an opinion in what is
known as one Of the Chippewa half-breetl
scrip cases. The land in controversy is
very valuable, as it contains rich deposits
Of iron and ia in the great Minnesota iror
belt. Tho land was located by an attor
ney in fact for j. H. Warren, under the
treaty Of Sept. 80, 1854, which allowed
every head of family of the mixe6
blood Chippcwas of Lake Superior to 10
cate eighty acres Of land. Other SCRIP
entries and soldiers additional home
stead were filed subsequently, but re
jected. On appeal the commissioner
holds the original scrip location valid.
