RAILROAD LAND PATENTS.
California Heads the List With Orer MIN.
Hundred Thousand Acres.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Secretary of
the Interior has transmitted to the House
an answer from the Commissioner of the
General Land Offices to resolution re-
questing information by the land depart
ment as to what lands have been patented
to the railroad grants since May IS, 1894,
what means were taken to discover their
non-mineral character and whether any
lands SO patented were before or have
since been claimed as mineral, and also a
list of pending selections awaiting APP
prevail. The commissioner submits a
schedule showing lands patented by acres
since May 26, 1894, as follows:
Idaho, 81, 422; Montana, 303, 301; Oregon,
229,943 California, 973, $50.
The communication says that prior to
July 9, 1894, there were no specific regula-
tons for determining the non-mineraI
character of lands listed and selected by
land grant roads. The lands were first ex-
amined in connection with the tract books
of the land Office by the railroad land grant
division, and such as were found free from
adverse claims were listed and referred to
the mineral division, which made an ex-
animation as to their mineral character,
ana thSrea1ter the lahoS SHOWN Dy the
record~to be clear were made UP into a
list and submitted to the department., with
a recommendation that they be approved
for patents.
Since July 9, 1894, the same examinations
have been made, and in addition thereto
other means have been taken to guard
against patenting mineral lands under
these grants The communication then
details at length the regulations enforced
to this end 1t is stated that it would be
impracticabIe to furnish a list of pending
selections awaiting approval on account of
the magnitude of the undertaking. The
communication concludes with the state
ment that no further lists containing lands
in the mineral States named above will be
submitted to the department for approval
for patents until directions from the depart
ment shall be received.
