In q subsequent decision. included lands

Up. Secretary Bliss says; These and 9TH
er rlEiiags on tire subject With few exeep-
tions. have been consistently and uni
forgnly 20 the effect that the mining laws
embrace not only lands containing metal
lie minerals. bat all valuable mineral de-
posits Of whatever kind or nature
whether metaiiferous or fossihterous--
wherever the lands containing them are
shown 10 be more valuable on account
thereof than FOR agricultural purposes.
The value Of the mineral deposit, rather
than its kind. appears % have been the
controlling factor in determining whether
the lands containing Il were subject 20
entry and patent under the mining laws
All land decisions OF recent years by the
interior department have uniformly held
that land containing deposits Ct stone and
valuable principally as stone quarry
may be entered as a placer claim or pur-
chased under the timber and stone act
Extensive extracts are given from all
these decicions.
II Is noteworthy that the supreme court
OF Montana. in 1889. having occasion 20 re-
fer TO these adfudicatlons Of the land de-
partment. said. we 90 not doubt the
correctness Of this construction" The
contrary view. however was given by the
supreme court OF the state Of Washington
at later date. in the case Of Wheeler vs..
Smith 60 Pacific Reporter. $50. These are
the only cases cited from the courts which
discuss or attempt 20 discuss whether
non-metallic minerals are minerals within
the meaning OF that word employed IN
the statutes relating 10 the DISPOSE Ion OF
public lands.
4 further argument Of the railroad COM
pany that the word mineral" is not to be
construed IN its broader sense Ia the land
laws. for the reason that the greater part
OF the earth contains mineral IN some
form, is answered by the secretary by the
statement that under the law. ia all cases,
the land must not only contain mineral.
but must be chiefly valuable on account
of its mineral
Therefore. the secretary rejects the
claim OF the railroad company, excerpts
the deposit IN section ie from the grant 20
che state Of Washington. and declares
that upon proper showing OF compliance
with the mining laws. the lands may be-
patented TO the mining claimant" The
secretary adds that "ail the cases IN con-
fiict with the views herein expressed are
hereby overruled.'
Messrs Rritton and Gray, counsel for
the Northern Pacific in this city. are al
ready preparing papers for an appeal
from the secretary's decision to the SUI
preme court of the United States.
