THE LANDS HELD TO
BE AGRICULTURAL.
Commissioner Hermann Renders an
Important Decision.
In Reference to a Mining Contention in
Santa Clara County.
Afirms the Decision Of the Land
Office at San Francisco in Favor
of the Agricultural Claimants
as Against the Santa Clara
Mining Association or Guada-
1oupe Mine.

WASHINGTON, Nov. An impor
tant decision was rendered to-day by
Commissioner Hermann of the General
Land Office in reference to a mining
contention in California known as the
Santa Clara Mining Association or
Cuadaloupe mine, in contest with vari-
Gus agricultural claimants, the mine
being situated in Santa Clara County
Cal, and claimed by the Mineral Asso-
citation, the plaintiffs, as a portion of
the Guadalupe quicksilver mining
claim
The mineral claimants contend for the
whole as one compact body, while the
agricultural claimants claim in separate
tracts. The defendants are all settlers
upon the land. and contested this claim
and submitted proofs as to the agri-
cultural character of the land.
This land fourteen years ago was de-
cided by the Secretary of Interior to be
mineral, but the claim of the mineral
contestants being subsequently declared
invalid, the agricultural claimants re-
newed in 1893 the contest which has
since been waged. The Commissioner
now affirms the decision Of the local land
office at San Francisco upon the facts,
and holds the lands to be agricultural.
The Commissioner, passing upon the
question of law involved. says:
"A mineral survey alone does not seq
regate the land involved from the pub
lie domain, and the character of pub
lie land, whether agricultural or min
eral, is oDen to question until title
thereto passes. A defeated agricult-
ural claimant may subsequently, upon
allegations that the mine has been
abandoned because worked out, or that
further developments have shown the
particular tract to be worthless for
mineral, initiate a new contest.
"A decision holding land to be min
eral is only res judicata as between the
parties to controversy as modified by
the rule stated 1t cannot be held to be
binding upon strangers to the record as
serting to the contrary. The Santa Clara
Mining Association has not been, until
contest was initiated, a valid claimant
of record.
1.-THE only record which In any way af-
fected the status of these lands was the
adjudication which stamped it as min
eral in character. The agricultural
claimants of record had a right to pro-
ceed to make final proof upon their en-
tries, although they We're required by

Der of improvements la our city have
taken place. Whilst most of these inn
provements were not directly accomplish
us has had Influence in bringing about
the desired result.
Among the improvements championed
general which have been accomplished
are the following:-First, we have seen
the antiqudted Lorse car disappear into
innoccuous desuetude and replaced by the
more modern trolley car; second, we have
seen the transfer system become general
on all our cars; third, we nave seen the
river front improved and better facilities
for receiving and shipping freight from
our steamship WharyeS; fourth, we have
seen the streets kept cleaner than before:
NTH, We have seen our fire department
improved and we trust will soon be more
efficient; sixth, for a time we received
letter postal facilities, which, however.
of late have resumed their old condition
of disregard for the public; seventh. we
la seen the city enter into a contract
with the Hackensack Water Company ac-
cepting the promises recommended by the

eighth, we have seen the city to a large
extent asphalted and numerous other i'm
provements added thereto. ninth, we have
seen the ordinances passed regulating the
speed of bicycles; tenth, we have seen an
attempt made to obtain a public park in
the meadow district.
Whilst We have seen much accomplished
there are still many more things of
benefit to the public which the club has
brought to the attention of the authori-
ties, put which we trust we may see
finished before another year shall nave
passed away. Among them are:-The VIA
duct from Eighth street to the Hill; the
yiaduct on Park avenue over the Erie
Railroad and the persistent vigilance of
the police restrict the sale of liquor to
minors.
