The Claims ConHrmed.

Santa Fe. n. NJ, September 30.-In the
United States court OF private land claims
the Las Huertos OF date Of 1885, In Bern
ardillo and Santa Fe counties, has been
confirmed. except as to leasing boundary
on which counsel was asked to file briefs.
NJ. s. otero, T. b. Catron. G. b. Gurley

probable that the eastern boundary can
be so run as TO interfere with the placer
mines In the San Pedro region OF South
Santa Fe county. The court also sustained
the governments objection to the survey
of the Barajito grant west Of Albuquerque
county. OF some 1000 acres fronting ON the

GOLD Is PILING UP.
BANKS DESIRE SECRETARY OA0n
TO ISSUE uERT1ElcATEs.
A Carlisle Precedent IL IN the Way.
Further Gold Imports Would
Create Necessity.

New York. September 80. - There has
been some talk In banking circles OF the
possibility Of the treasury department
isuing gold certificates now that gold IL
piling up In the vaults and currency is
decreasing. The discussion 10 chiefly due
to dispatch received In Wall street to thu
effect that recentlv there has been some
informal discussion among tho treasury
officials on the subject OF deslrability OF
this course. Continuing the dispatch saws
that Secretary CAGE is confronted bv a
decision made by Secretary Carlisle when
the treasury gold fell below sloo,00o.ooo,
that the reserve ha ling once fallen below
the amount mentioned. gold certificates
would not be issued again. even II the
reserve went above 800 100000 unless the
Issue was specifically authorized by con-
gress.
President Cannon, Of the Chase National
bank. saw nothing that made the Issue OF
gold notes needful. but though the issue
Of such certificates was entirely within the
province Of Secretary Gage.
Vice President Hopburn. OF tho CITY
National bank. said; ~ believe that
legally the issuing OF gold certificates Is
entirely WITHIN the option oil secretary
Gage. There is no question that the treas
ury needs currency. II the present condi-
lions continue and there are further cold
imports. as in my opinion there are sure
to be, it Will not be long before the treas
ury will have TO settle It's balances in
gold'
"Tbe situation regarding the currerc>
might be relieved by the issuing Of sold
certificates. as country banks which have
not tho facilities for holding their reserve
in gold could hold the certificates for that
purpose and put into circulation the cur
rency which they now hold. This, 1t seems
to me, would relieve the situation as to
currency"
Cashier Muhlman. OF the b-treasurv
thought 1t altogether likely that the sub
ject may have boon discussed He said
further that there seemed to be an erro-
neous idea In some quarters that there
was now an inconvenicnt shortage OF cur
rency. This, he said. was not the ease
and any action OF the treasury officials
which might convey such an idea was In
his opinion, taken because he desired
such shortage, and such course nj the
present would be taken with view to the
need OF large amount OF currency during
October to meet the governments nav.
ments OF interest and pensions.

missioner Knapp In the case OF Fewell
against the Alabama and vicksburg rail-
road and others. and in the matter Of coal
rates charged by the Alabama and vicks-

companies. The cases involved the trans

railway at higher rates than were charged
Tor longer distances over the same line
to jackson and vickshurg. Miss.
The various carriers from Alabama mines
to Jackson agreed upon the rate to that
place. which rate was less for each line
Than was charged on coal to shorter dis
lance points over the same line In the same
direction. This the opinion held, violates

merclal considerations peculiar to the busi-

The commission further rules that the
