US. LAND COURT.
Collapse of the Corpus Christi Grant
A COntirmatiOn-Santa Fe and
COchiti Grants.

The adjourned term of the court of pri-
vate land claims opened in the federal
building this morning.
Chief Justice Reed presided with Asso-
ciate Justices Fuller, Murray and Stone
in attendance. Associate Justice Sluss is
absent.
The entire docket was CALLED and
different cases set for trial. Two cases
were disposed of. The first was No. SO,
entitled the Plaza Blanca grant. Mr.. 7,
B. Catron appeared as attorney for the
plaintiff, Jose NJ G. Chavez. The grant,
containing 10000 acres in Rio Arriba
county, was confirmed. The case was tried
at the last term of court.
The second case was No. 48, and enti-
tied the Corpus Christi grant. Benjamin
Hodges, the plaintiff, claimed 100000 acres
in southern Colorado. The petition was
withdrawn at the request of the plaintiff.
Hodges writes that he has discovered an
official record in Texas that locates his
grant In that state, and he therefore is
forced to admit that the Colorado grant
is not the tract he is after. This action
wipes out every vestage of the alleged
Corpus Christi grant, and opens to occu-
patton by miners and settlers magnifi-
cent body of southern Colorado land.
The case of most interest to the citizens
of this city, the Santa Fekgrant, was set
for trial Thursday next.
In relation to the Cochiti grants, U. S.
Attorney Reynolds said: 49,
II want to call the attention of the court
to cases No. Al (Rito de los FrijoIes), No.
95 (Ojo del Borrego) No. - Juan Baca)

No. - cover these newly discovered gold
mines of Cochtii, and l desire in the in
terest of those people down there to try
them all as soon as possible, and wish to
state now that the government shall be
ready at an early date"
Some twenty-five cases were set for
trial. The U. s. attorney is now ready in
at least twenty cases, but the attorneys
for the plaintiffs in nearly all these were
this morning very conspicuous by their
absence.

level country with grand pines of great
height so distributed that it has the ap-
pearance of most beautiful park, and

one barber shop, two meat markets, one
bakery, two hotels, three restaurants,
three general stores, one blacksmith, one
hardware store, thirty miles of telephone,
water piped to all parts of the city from
the best and purest mountain springs.

that can show such progresss Where is
there an opportunity to 80 quickly real
ize immense returns from so small an
investment?
