ISSUES PATENTS TO LODE CLAIMS

-:ysu ~ Tie U.erc Placer Ground
Esists Oh the Same Location.
Washington, March 1.-two de-
cisions have been recently made by Sec
rotary Smith on which the decision of
the last administration in the some
what celebrated Pixies Peak case has
been overruled. The decision affects
mining cases where disputes arise be-
tween placer and lode claims. Secre-
tary Smith decides that when it has
been ascertained by the department or
determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that q lode claim exists
within the boundaries of land covered
by placer patent that such lode claim
was known to exist at the date of ap-
plication for such patent and was not
applied for by the proper claimant the
land in the lode is reserved from opera
lion of conveyance, ana patent may is
sue for such lode, if the law has been
in other respects fully compiled with.
The first decision is in the case of N.
]. Mcconnell, known as the South Star
lode case. and the other fs the Plain
Charles II. Peters, James II. Freeman
known as the Freeman placer case.
QUARTER SECTION LAW.
Secretary Smith has overruIed the

by the commissioner it appears that
there are other selections by the state
