THE IRON KING.
The Richest Known Iron Deposit of
Washington Soon to BE Developed.
From tho Tacoma GIObe.I

Captain w. ID. OToole, one ofthe own
ers OF the Lloyd group of Skagit river
iron mines, has been in the city for a day
or two. During his stay II is understood
that Walters K Co. secured an option
upon the mines in question: presumably
for eastern capitalists. The Skagit river
iron deposits ARE of phenomenal char.
actcr. Five veins, thirty to fifty feet
high grade magnetic and hematic ore in
sight that may be mined us stone is Or
ordinarily quarried. Immediately on
navigable water, and directly on lines OF
the Bcnnett and Ship Harbor railways,
either the raw ore or pig-iron may be
transported to tide water ut Fair Haven
or Ship Harbor at nomina. rates. An
abundance of fine limestone is
found in the vicinity OF the mines.
Within two miles San Francisco
people are developing large veins of ex-
cellent coking coal Fire clay has been
found in several localities in Skagit
county, and working bodies will un-
doubtedly be developed. The entire
Skagit valley Is covered with a dense
forest of superb timer. A magnificent
water power exists Immediately at the
mines. The natural surroundings,
coupled with the soft, ll-tbe-ycar-round
saiubrious Puget sound climate, render
tho immediate locality most favorable
one for the manufacture of pig iron.
Whether the latter commodity will be
transformed into rolled and cast iron
and steel at Fair Haven, Ship Harbor or
Tacoma, is question that will doubt
less be determined by the final owner

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.
Secretary Noble overrules Decision
OF Commissioner Sparks

WAsHtNGTos. Oct. 10.-In the case of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company,
SECRETARY Noble to-day overruled de-
cision of Commissioner Sparks, made
May 3, 1887, which required the COM
pany to file with its list OF lands selected
under its grants the usual non mineral
affidavit In Use in agricultural cases
generally. The practice in the case of
landgrant railroad companies is for tho
agent to make out lists of land within
the grant and submit the same to the
department with an affidavit TO the
effect that the plnts and surveyors re-
turns show the land not to be mineral.
Mineral lands arc reserved from grant
and the ordinary agricultural claimant
must take oath that he knows from per-
sonal inspection that the land he claims
is non-mineral in character. The sccre-
tary holds that in asmuchas existing
requirements were complied with by the
company ut the date of selection. no re-
troactive rule should be applied to it,
These selections were made during the
years of 1885 and 1886. Similar rulings
were made in the cases of the Southern
K Atlantic and Pacific railroad COM
panies. These decisions will release from
suspension and pass to patent about
100000 acres of land within these
giants,
