No MINERAL LAND INCLUDED.
Secretary Bliss Decision on Grants
10 wasbjn gfon and the n. T..

TO Wasbjn gfon and the n. Y.
ST. louis. Sept. ia special TO the
Globe Democrat from Washington says:
Secretary of the Interior Bliss has rem
dered decision which affects all the
Western railway grants. The case on
which the decision was made is that of
the Pacific Coast Marble Company against
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
and state OF Washington. 10 involves the
title TO marble lands in the state OF
Washington, a portion of which was
claimed by the railroad company as in
demnity for lands lost, and portion by
the state Of Washington as part OF a
school grant. The question involved was
whether marble Is mineral within the
meaning OF the mining laws and also I'M
der the terms Of grants to the railroad
company and state.
The secretary decides in an exhaustive
review OF former decisions by land COM
missioners. Secretaries kirkwood and
Teller and various state courts that mar
bic is a mineral within the meaning of
both the mining laws and the grants. and
is, therefore, not subject 10 selection or
patent 10 either railroad companies or the
state under the terms OF their grants
The secretary also decided that this rul-
ing applies 10 ali substances known as
mineral by the recognized authorities. II
Will have the effect OF confirming the
future patenting Of lands to railroad COM
panies, TO lands that are more valuable
for agricultural than for mineral pur-
poses. and is far-reaching in that it af-
fects lands along the lines of nearly all
land grant roads in the United States.
The railways have been confident that
Secretary Bliss would sustain the view
expressed by the commissioner of the
general land office. The sweeping reversal
will result In their temporary consterna-
ton. and they will appeal 10 the United
States supreme court, which is now the
only alternative left to them.

superstition that so-called doctors" such

some witchery beyond the power of or
diRary Indians TO fathom. Kelly had
threatened TO use this mysterious power

fatal night. and in terror that he would
carry out his threat he was killed and
his body sunk In the Skasit river.
