Report OF the senate Committee on the
Cases I'm Nevada.
WASHINGTON. March 2S-By resolution
Of the senate Jan. 7 last. the committee on
mines and mining was instructed TO ascer-
tain all the facts and circumstances con-
nected with the bringing Of certain suits
by the United States against persons for
cutting timber for mining and domestic
purposes In Nevada and to ascertain II such
suits have caused any interruption in min
ing operations In the state. In accordance
with this resolution Senator Stewart sub
mltted report 10 the senate to-day. The
report says since 1913 miners have made
their own rules and regulations limiting
the extent OF mining claims, governing the
right Of possession and regulating the use
of lumber and water for mining purposes,
and the legality OF these rules and regula-
tions was affirmed by the decision Of three
conrts. The practice of cuttir & timber was
continued, the report says, until 1877,
when Secretary Schurz caused prose
cutions TO be Instituted against the MN
ers OF some OF the territories
for cutting timber. The matter was
brought 70 the attention OF congress and
June 5, 1878 an act was passed authorizing
tlt iuiutir III tut hituiuk uirhittn vi th'
United States 20 fell and remove timber
TOR mining and domestic purposes. The
miners, the reports says, treated this act as
a settlement Of the question and were not
interfered with again for some time. In
April, 1887, the district attorney In Ne
vada advised the prosecution OF miners In
that state for using scrubby timber for
mining and domestic purposes. Later
the department of the interior sent special
sgsrt 70 the state who was authorized
to make thorough investigation OF the
alleged cutting. The special agent ad-
vised the Institution Of three suits for tim
Der trespass. The department subsequent.
ly authorized these 10 be instituted. These
suits and several others were brought In
December last. and as result two OF the
principal mines In Eureka closed down.
The conclusion OF the committee Is that the
suits brought by the United States have
been great obstruction TO the mining In
dustry In eastern Nevada; that they are
needless and vexatious. and that the attor.
ney-general In authorizing three OF the
suits must have done so under misappre.
