development In the mining of gold. there
was no law of the United States regulating
the subject. The prospectors roamod over
the public lands lOlcated placer or quartz
mines ana took out a fabulous store OF
sold without any title whatever to the
lands from which they dug this great
store or wealth. They were in q strict
sense trospassers. A policy to reserve
mineral lands from sale under the gen
eral land laws had prevailed for many
years and had been expressed I'm suit
able laws. but no provision had been
made FOR the sale Of such lands.

but they had the Ambassadors inst-..,
