IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Land Commissioner Makes a Decision
In Favor of the Miners Against the North.
ern Pacific Railroad Co.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Land Com
missioner Garter rendered an important
mineral and land decision yesterday.
IL was in the case OF Garden VS.. North
ern Pacific Railroad, involving contro.
versy as to the mineral character of GER
tain lands in the vicinity of Helena,
Mont, which wac decided in the local
office in Helena as partly in favor Of the
Northern Pacific and partly in favor of
the mineral claimant. Both sides ap.
pealed to the commissioner, who de.
cided in favor of the mineral claimant,
He held in effect that the discovery
of the mineral bearing vein with one
we'll developed wall at any time prior to
the issuance of patent to the railroad
company, excluded the land from
operation of the railroad grant without
reference to the development of lead to
the extent of proving conclusively that
the ore contained in the vein carried
sufficient gold, silver or other metal to
enable the miners to make profit in
working the mine. The question in
volved in this case is before the supreme
court for decision in another form.

SALOON MEMS SCHEME.
They Desire to Pay the Palmer License Mt
the End of the Month

They Desire to Pay the Palmer License ut
the End of the Month.
Sioux CRY, Ia, Nov. 27.-The saloon
men are agitating plan that does not
seem to meet with the approval of the
city officials. The dealers recognize
that it is in the power of the police to
close them up should they fail to pay
their regular monthly fines, but think
that instead of paying the $50 at the
beginning of the month they should not
be required to do so until the last of the
month. 1t is generally known that the
city does not collect the fines when the
Law and Order League takes hand at
regulating the saloons. The saloon men
claim that when they pay in advance
they take their chances with the league
and stand no show of having their money
refunded. They hold that the city
should wait and see what is done by the
league, and then at the end of the
month collect the fines from those who
are not prosecuted by the league.
A city official, who is instrumental in
collecting the monthly fines. says of the
scheme advanced by the saloon men:
1T is not practical. There are too
many in the business who are irrespon.
sible. They would run a month and
then quit to avoid paying a fine. Of
course, all of them would not, but some
would. Then some transactions of
those connected with the league which
have recently come to ligh5 indicate
that the saloon men are not required TO
pay the fine Is of $50 assessed to them in
the justices courts. The saloon men
would produce the justice records at the
end of the month to show that they had
been fined. and by their scheme would
get out with the payment of few dol
lars cost. I am confident they will be
unable to get the necessary consent to
put their plan into operation. They
will have to pay in advance, and if they
are caught by the league and the proper
officials see fit to assist them, then they
can suspend the fine for the next month.
That is the only sure way the city has
OF getting the revenue"
