UNA DE CATO GRANT.
A Valuable Tract of About 100000
Acres of Land Thrown Open to
Settlement in COlfax County
The Clouds Rolling
Away.

The good news has been received at the
U. s. land office in Santa Fe that the gen.
eral land office at Washington has finally
concluded to throw open to settlement as
a part of the public dominion the alleged
Una de Cato land grant in Colfax county.
This alleged grant is tract of at least
100000 acres of land in triangular form,
about half of which is in the Santa Fe
land district and the other half or more
is in the Colfax or Clayton land district.
It begins at the junction of Red river
and Chico creek southeast of Springer,
extends northward about twenty-five
miles to Eagle Tail mountain, thence
eastward to Malpais mountain, and
thence in southwesterly direction to the
place of beginning. The tract is nearly
all we'll watered and is of exceeding value
for agricultural and grazing purposes.
The entry and settlement of this valua-
BILE tract of land have heretofore been
prevented by the contention OF s. W.
Dorsey, j. w. Dryer and Others that it
was Mexican grant and that they were
the owners thereof. ~
In July, 1874, the surveyor general OF
New Mexico reported the Una de Cato
grant to the general land Office, and that
Office forwarded copy of the transcript
of the record in the case to congress, but
congress neither confirmed nor rejected
the same. Yet the local land officers
were directed to withhold the land from
entry.
Under the act creating the United
States court of private land claims, the
claimants of all unconfrmed Spanish and
Mexican grants we're required to file their
claims in said court on or before March
8, 1898. This, for reasons of their own,
the claimants of the Una de Cato grant
failed to do, and, upon this fact being
duly certified to him by the clerk of the
court of private land claims. Surveyor
General Easley promptly notified the
general land Office and recommended that
the tract of land described he thrown
open to settlement.
In consequence of this showing the
commissioner of the general land office,
on August 81, 1895, formally notified the
registers and receivers of the land Offices
at Santa Fe and Clayton that the Una de
Cato grant was open to entry under the
q. s, land laws.
