State proceed upon the plan of the miners
of Montana and idaho. The miners in
those localities had the same trouble with
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
that the California miners are having. As
a means of relief the Montana Senator
secured the passage of bill through Con-
gress which provides for commission to
determine the character OF the land
within the land grant of the Northern Pa
citic Railway Company.
Whenever the character of parcel of
land is in dispute the commissioners ex-
anime the land and pass Judgment on the
same. Idaho miners saw the advantage
OF having this commission, and obtained a
similar commission. The bill IS now
known as the Idaho-Montana act.
Chairman Ford was directed TO draft a
bill similar to the Idaho-Montana act for
the creation of q California commission to
determine the character of lands within
the land grant of the Central Pacific and
other railroad companies in this State.
The bill that Chairman Ford will pre-
pare will differ from the Idaho-Montana
act in this respect. In the latter the Presi-
dent of the United States appoints all OF
the commissioners, one of whom must be
resident of the State in which the contro-
verified lands lie. On the Idaho Montana
Commission is one man who resides in
Kentucky and another who is resident
OF some one of the middle agricultural
sections.
In Mr.. Ford's bill provision will be made
that all OF the commissioners shall be resi-
dents OF California, and that at least one
commissioner shall be a practical miner.
A commission consisting of three mem
bers will be sufficient, provided two of
them know the difference between mineral
land and wheat field. Another feature of
the proposed act will be that the reports of
the commission must be advertised in
order that interested parties may have
time to protest against the findings of the
commissioners relative to any part or the
whole of the land IN question. With COM
petent men upon the commission it is
believed that there will be but few occa-
sions for appeals from their decisions.

mineral lands to the railroad, and a pro-
test always involves long and expensive
litigation.
