out by the billion dollar congress and the rail-
road grant business is almost thing of the past,
the remnant of our vast public domain is the
only plumber left in sight, and now that q
special court has been organized the sehemers
see q rich and bountiiul harvest for them in the
forgotten and long-lspsed Mexican, Spanish and
Indian grants. Ii is grand and inviting field
for shsrpers TO exercise their skill in discover
Ing and marrying the alleged heiresses of these
grants, as evidence is always manufactured in
support of their alleged claims to the title,
Syndicases and companies with heavy backing
are organized for the sole duty of pressing these
claims, expense being merely secondary con-
sideraiion. II viii be a wonder If these claims
are not attended to with a vast amount of wire
