Can They Re Entered Under the Mining
Laws? IT,
To The INDEPENDENT: A decision by the
COMMISSIONS of the general land office, upon
questions arising under the public land
laws. is good az long as 1t is not reversed by
the honorable secretary of the interior,
who. so far as the action of the executive is
concerned, il the final arbiter in such cases.
For this reason the recent decision Of
Secretary Noble i'll the South Dakota case
of Conlin vs.. Kelly is one Of peculiar in
terest to many citizens of Montana.
The syllabus of that decision is as follows:
"stone that is useful only fer general
building purposes does not renee: land
subject to appropriation under the mining
laws, or except ii from pre-emDtion entry"
This il the first Case i'll which the judg-
ment OF the secretary of the interior has
been invoked to confirm the heretofore
very liberal construction of the commits
sioner of the general land Office placed
upon the words, ''Ail forms of deposits ex-
cept veins of quartz or other rock in
place."-R. s.. L. s., section 1929.
He, however refuses to accord such con
frmation. but on the contrary, reverses the
action of the general land office i'll the fol-
lowing words: You say in your decision

placer claim, there being no veins OF

concur in this statement in your opinion.
Tho case you cite IS not a decision OF this
department, but a letter from Commission
er Mcfarland to the local officers at Lead
vile, Colorado. Section 1879 revised

usually called 'placers' including all forms

entry etc. is a part OF the mining law
and should be considered in connection
Herewith. 1t is apparent that the deposit
therein spoken of means q deposit having
some special value other than that Of Il nier,

Further on in the decision from which WE
quote, the secretary uses this very emphatic
language: sit is simply q quarry Of stone
for general building purposes and AS suci

THE agricultural college is really an
institution endowed by the United
States government and is not properly
classed under the head Of state institu-
tons. 1t is directly created by act Of
congress under which il receives n
ally a gift Of money from the United
States treasury. While the act gives
the state some discretion as u the man
ner OF using the funds so received, it is
specific in declaring that the college
must make provision for those branches
Of learning relating to agriculture and
the mechanic arts. 1t is we'll to bear in
mind, in view OF contemplated legisIa
ton. that the agricultural college stands
on a peculiar footing, both a. regards
the necessity Of early action to secure
the endowment now available. and in it's
relation to the national government
which makes it a quasi federal ~institu-
ton.
