Applications for Forty-Acre Lots at
RandSburg.

In connection with measure In
which he is interested ASSemblyman
Seward wrote to Surveyor General
Wright asking for data showing the
number of applications filed in the new
mining district of Randsburg, under
the Act of 1874, regulating the sale of
mineral lands. The Surveyor r-GeneraI
replied, giving Mr.. Seward names of
nineteen applicants, each for forty
acres
The Surveyor General adds:
Each of the above named applica-
tions was accompanied by a duly veri-
fled protest and a written demand that
the conflicting claims to purchase said
land be referred to the proper court for
adjudication, which reference has been
made.
In answer to your question, Has
there ever been any land sold or filed
under provisions of this Act, except the
filings above enumerated?' I have to
answer yes, but it was for land return
ed by the United States survey as min
eral land and prior to the decision of
the Supreme Court that mineral lands
were excluded from the school land
grant. Since 1884 I cannot ascertain
of any save those mentioned
You ask, What is the effect of per-
mitting the Act of 1874 under which a
purported title to mineral land can be
obtained from the State, to remain on
the statute book?' In answer to this
/ can only say to permit the present
law to remain in its present form will

Evening Session.

The Assembly Chamber was favored
last evening with a large number of
visitors, who were treated to a more
than usually interesting performance of
high comedy on the part of the House.
For the first time the disorder reached
the point when the Speaker declared if
the disturbance continued he would
peremptorily adjourn the House for the
hight.
On the special urgency file the follow
ing bills We're passed:
A. B. 165, to pay claim of A. w. Ra-
pelye; Bridgford's S39 to pay Marion
Pirkey for money advanced to National
Guard; Bulla's S. B. All, authorizing
cities or towns other than those of the
first class to refund their Indebtedness
and to issue bonds therefor; S. B. lis,
appropriating $4,000 for water sup
ply for Mendocino Asylum; Moultries
81, amending the code relative to mort
cages: S. 3. 364, amending the Act to
establish a tax on collateral inheri-
tanceS.
A. B. 1871, relating to boxing or spar
ring matches and to prize fights was
lost.
Belshaw, by permission, withdrew his
A. b. 156 from the file and substi-
tuted his 800, appropriating $4,000 to
pay the expenses of experts and the
cost and expense of litigation of the
suit now pending in the Circuit Court
of the United States for the Northern
District of California, Southern Pacific,
plaintiff, and Board of Railroad Com
missioners, defendant. The House went
into Committee of the Whole for con-
sideration of the bill on second reading,
when a long and wordy struggle en-
sued to cut the appropriation. 1t be-
came a commission and anti-commis-
sion fight, but Belshaw carried it
through without losing any of the $50
000 and the bill was ordered to the
printer on one or two technical amend
mentS.
The committee appointed to clear the
files of unnecessary bills has been in
terviewing the authors, who have con-
sented to the withdrawal of thirty
five, and it is expected that long list
from the code revisionists to-day will
swell the number to seventy, so says
Valentine of the committee, who has
been hard at work.
The House adjourned at 1O:4o p. m.

DOG IN A TIGHT A
White and Tan Rescued by Cutting
Hole in Speeerss Morgue.

LUX ~ SP0CCA'n a.
A small white and tan dog created a
great deal of excitement late yesterday
afternoon in the neighborhood of the
Junction. The animal is owned by w.
Welsh, who lives on Communipaw ave-
nue., near Garfield.
1t was running loose on Randolph ave-
nue., when it spied a rat and Immediately
started in pursuit of it. The rat made
for an opening, about five inches wide,
between the southern val of Speer's
morgue and a large brick apartment
house. The space extends back about
20 feet, where it is blocked by the chin
ney at the rear of the building. The dog
followed its quarry into the space.
When it came to the chimney it was
brought to an abrupt halt. 1t could not
go forward, nor could it recede. 1t was
wedged in so tightly that it could not
move 1t was found in this predictament
by several boys. who informed Louis
Hecht, Superintendent of the morgue. He
went to see could be done for the
brute.
While he was investigating, Lawyer
Peshall came along Others Joined him.,
and soon a large crowd had collected.
Lawyer Peshall suggested that they poke
the dog out with a stick. No stick long
enough for the purpose could be secured.
A plumber, however, kindly loaned and
straight piece of gas pipe. They poked
in vain at the animal; it couldn't be
budged. Louis Hecht then hit upon a
brilliant idea which he proceeded to carry
out. Mounting to the roof of the morgue,
which is about fifteen feet high, he low
ered a rope with a moose at the end tried
to lasso the imprisoned brute. This
scheme.
When every effort had failed, he finally
sent for Mr.. speer. He arrived, n de-
dog. could be freed was by removing a
portion of the wall. He sent for a mason,
and instructed him to tear away a por-
ton Of the wall of the morgue suficient
to free the dog. h wall is a foot
thick and of solid brick. After over an
hours work a hole about four feet square
was torn in the wall and the prisoner
was set free.
BY this time the crowd had increased
to over 100 persons. and it took two po-
licemen to keep it in order. The dog
