almost unprecedented, from the fact that

1t is thought that the sun and wind opened
crevices through which the water got started
and carried the structure away. The dam
was built about fifteen years ago to aid nav
igation on the river, and has been the means
of maintaining a sufficient depth of water to
enable large steamboats, to navigate. The

1t is a settled fact that the present admin

ta's claims to swamp lands. Secretary No
bic decides q case of James Devlin against
the state, affirming the decision of the gener,
al Office rejecting the states claim for a GER
tain tract in the Duluth district. The secre-
tary says: 1t is insisted by the state that
the United States has no right to inquire in
to the character of the land in any other
manner than the field notes Of the survey.
This question has uniformly been ruled
against the state, and is no longer an open
one. 1t is further insisted by the state that
it it is not sufficient that it should appear
that the field notes are false, but that it
must be further shown that tho survey is
fraudulent. 1T is the settled ruling of this
department that if the field notes be shown
to be false, it is sufficient ground for reject
ing the claim of the state without requiring
the further proof that the survey is fraudu-
lent Thu grant under which the state claims
was a grant of swamp land, and lift be
proven affirmati"ely that my given tract
was not swampland ut the date OF the grant,
