An Attempt to Get Hold of Valuable
Mineral Lands.
Ashland, Ore, Nov. 19.-The South
ern Pacific company is trying to secure
patents to all unoccupied mineral lands
lying in the odd sections within the linz
Its of the railroad grant, covering the
most valuable part of the southern Ore
gcn mining district. The railroad has
recently been making surveys of land
and filing lists Mt the land office at
koseburg for the purpose of securing n
title from the government. Public meet
ings have been held in several towns
at which the action of the railroad COM
pany has been denounced BY the
terms of the charter of the Oregon and
California Railroad company, granted
July 20, 1866, the government gave to
the company all of the odd-numbered
sections of land within strip 20 miles
wide on each side of the railroad, but
stipulated that mining lands be except
ed, and, of course, that no vested rights
in other lands by reason of prior posses
sion or otherwise be interfered with.
The railroad surveyors have lately
reached the great mining district west
OF Rogue River valley, and that is the
cause of all the trouble. A survey is
made of unoccupied land, and it is filed
in the usual form as non-mineral.
The peQnle claim that the land Is
wholly Or agricultural uses, and
