fact that from lS49 10 1866, the
period OF the greatest develop

no law of the United States regu

ors roamed over the public lands

and took out a fabulous store ei
gold, without any title, Whatever
to the lands from which they dug
this store of wealth. They were
in a strict sense trespassers. A
policy to reserve mineral lands
from sale under the general land
laws had prevailed for many years,
and had been expressed in suitable
laws, but no provision had been
made for the sale of such lands.
Ia the land grants to the Pacific
railroad companies it was provided
that mineral lands should not
pass under the grants. The river
beds, gulches and mountain sides
were prospected by men who car
rled picks and basins in their
hands, and brace Of pistols Ia
their belts. They were ahame
with the lust of gold, and among
them were many desperate men;
but they had the Anglo Saxon in
stinct for organizing civil institu

There were no mining laws and III
many places none OF any sort
