THE TORROS RESERVATION.
The Government Wishes to Acquire
Some Additional Land.

Surveyor General Wright is in receipt
of a letter from Commissioner D. Nj.
Browning of the office of Indian Affairs,
Department Of the Interior,
stating that under the provisions of the
Act of Congress, approved January II,
| 1891, to select reservations for the sew
eral bands of Mission Indians in the
State Of California, the commission ap-
pointed selected a reservation for the
Torros band in township south, ranges
Z and east; south, and east, and 8
south, 9 east.
The object of the Act was to have the
| commission select for the several bands
of Indians the lands in occupancy and
actually needed for them, but some er-
rors Of ommission were made, greatly
to the damage of the Indians. One of
| these was that the commission failed to
recommend, conditionally, the reserva-
ton of section adjoining the Torros
reservation as selected, which should
have been included
The report Of Indian Agent Estudillo
states that recent survey shows that
the schoolhouse and a number of i'm
provements are located on the section in
question, together with the houses in
which a number Of Indian families are
living, and he recommends that entries
be withheld from such section, and that
it be reserved for the reservation.
The Commissioner, therefore, wishes,
If possible, to reserve the section and
asks the cooperation of the State. and
asks that the section be withheld from
entry. He also asks if any officer of the
State is clothed with authority to make
a conveyance of the land in question to
the United States without a special Act
of the Legislature, and what objection
there will be to it's conveyance by the
State in consideration of the grant by
the United States Of an equal amount of
land by the United States in return.
Surveyor General Wright has an
swered the letter, stating that it is the
opinion of the Governor and himself
that no State officer has the right to
make a conveyance of the States prop
erty and that the only way to remedy
the omission is by a special Act of the
Legislature, which will doubtless be
passed, as the request is just and pro-
per one.

General George B. Cosby yesterday
| assumed the active duties of Receiver of
the United States Land Office in this
city
General Cosby succeeds the Hon.
CHARLES f. Gardner whose term of office
expired some time since. Mr.. Gardner
mas occupied the position just vacated
by him for some nine years, having first
been appointed thereto by President
Arthur in 1888, and subsequently in
February, 1892, by President Harrison.
He has discharged the duties of this
office with honor and credit. During
his official career large sums of money,
amounting to several hundred thou
sands of dollars, have passed through
his hands without an error of a dollar,
and his integrity has never been ques-
toned.
AS Receiver he has been called upon
TO decide vexatious, intricate and inn
portant questions involving the primary
disposition of the public lands, both
mineral and agricultural, in the coun-
ties of Sacramento, Sierra, Nevada,
Placer, Ell Dorado, Amador, Calaveras,

have, with but few exceptions, been
affirmed by the appellate authorities,
the Commissioner of the Land Office
and the Secretary of the Interior. His
early training as a clerk in the State
Land Office, as Assistant Chief Clerk in
the Land Department of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, and as
land and mining practitioner peculiarly
fitted him for the position of Receiver
