Mines and Land Grants.

With the exception of the Maxwell and
a few others, the land grants in the coun-
try derived from Mexico conveyed no
right to mineral beneath the surface. The
right to mineral was retained by the
crown, and so it passed to the govern
ment of the United States. The grantee
has no mineral right superior to that of
any other prospector or discoverer. The
Maxwell grant and one or two others are
exceptions to this, the mineral rights hav-
ing been confirmed in the owners of those
grants.
Although the owner of Spanish or
Mexican land grant can, with the excep-
tions named, not claim the mineral be-
meath the surface, it does not follow that
the mineral area of such grant is sub ject
to location under the United States min
ing laws. The surface does not belong to
the United States government. II belongs
to the grantee or owner Of the grant. He
alone has right to enter upon the ground,
and any one else entering for the sake of
locating mineral claim or for any other
purpose is mere trespasser, unless per-
mission be given by the grant owners.
Even the grant owner himself can not
locate the ground az a mineral claim, for
the mining laws apply only to locations
upon ground belonging to the United
States. A mining claim can not be located
upon private property.
From this it appears that there is no
way by which, under the laws of the
United States, title can be acquired to
the mineral contained within the limits
of an ordinary land grant. The owner Of
a grant san not extract it, and he can not
give that right to any one else.
An effort to correct this was made in
the 53rd congress. A bill was introduced
in the bouse of representatives by MIR.

MAY FISH in OCTOBER.
Discovery That the Fish Wardens
Have Been INDUCING DelusiOn
as to October Being Closed
Month and May an Open
One.

Inasmuch as this is the first day OF
October, and the impression prevails that
the trout fishing season closed last night
when the hands of the dial marked IL
O'Clock, a New MEXICAN scribe concluded
to make an examination of the statutes
of New Mexico on the subject of trout
fishing in this territory. This investiga-
ton resulted in the discovery of fact
apparently not generally known either to
lawyers or laymen.
The compiled laws of 1884 provided
that "it shall not be lawful to kill, take,
or have in possession, any trout or other
food fish, taken or killed in any of the
public waters of this territory, during
the months of December, January, Feb
ruary, March and April, or either OF said
months, in any year."
The general laws of New Mexico for
1889, chapter So, section 4, page ITO,
amended this law 80 as to add the months
of November and May to the closed sea-
son. So the fishing season in New Mexico
will close on November until the first OF
next June, and the fishermen (including
several fish wardens) have been violating
the law since 1890, by catching trout il
the month of May. Probably they viii
not do so any more, unless the act of 1888.
is amended, but will fish during pleasant
| days of this month.

To the Ladies'.

Just what you need, Mitchell & Stan
hope who have been operating their new
feather and mattress washer in Trinidad,
Las Vegas and Albuquerque for the past
year, have arrived in Santa Fe. They
have the only washer ever invented. When
we say washers we don't mean steam
renevators. Feathers cleaned by this
process never require second cleaning,
as it removes feather moth, diseased
germs and all animal matter which causes
them to pack. They are recommended
by hundreds of leading citizens where
they have been operating their washer,
and this is what SONS of the leading
ladies Of Trinidad, Las Vegas and Albu-
querque have to say of our work:
We, the undersigned, having patronized
Mitchell 4 Stanhope, can say that their
work has given entire satisfaction, and
friends and neighbors.

Suicide at Las Vegas.

The public could scarcely believe the
report this morning that F. A. Hunsacker
had taken his own life, but alas, the re-
port was only too true. says the Optic Of
yesterday. The deed was committed at
6 O'Clock this morning, while laying on
his bed in the Santa Fe railroad hospital,
the ball entering his head back of the
right side, but death had been instanta-
neous. Two letters were left to explain
the rash act, one to DR.. Shaw and one to
his mother. The one to DR.. Shaw says:
DIR. SHAWL am afraid my eye will be
disfigured for life and that is all there is
to it. HUNsACKER.
The letter to his mother the reporter
did net see. Mr.. Hunsacker had been
troubled with his right eye for some time,
had spent six weeks in Topeka and en-
tered the hospital here August 81. He
did not seem Respondent. except at times,
and no more than the average patient.
Last evening when DR.. Shaw called him
into the surgery to look at his eye he
seemed encouraged with the prospect Of
immediate recovery, and the act of suicide
was most certainly committed in tenn
porary alteration of the mind.

WoMAN'S HANDWRITING,
Evolution From Crude Chirogmphy to
the Bold, Free Writing of Today,

Ii is very interesting to note the
various changes Of fashion in woman S

early part of this century to the con
ventional manncrism of the Italian
and English schools; and finally the
freedom that has obtained vogue i'll the

that today would seem uniformed and
childish To this succeeded the Italian
method in polite society, a perfect mar
vel of delicate execution, with fine hair

beautifully neat-looking page, but was
tedious to a degree TO read
The English handwriting, with its
free, flowing lines and lcgibly formed
letters. WAS a vast Improvement, and
il is a question whether that Of today
is so desirable. AS tar, as regards style
