MOOTED POINT DECIDED.
Opinions of q. s. Supreme Court in Two
Land Grant Gases.

United States Attorney Matthew e.
Reynolds, of the court of private land
claims. has received the opinions of the
United States supreme court on the
Town of Dolores grant case and the
Cuyamungue grant case, recently de-
cided. Both grants are situated in this
county. The Town of Dolores grant is
in the southern part of Santa Fe coun-
| ty, and was rejected by the lane court,
and the supreme court confirms that de-
| cision. The Cuyamungue grant, situat-
! ed near Tusuque, al confirmed by the
land court, and the supreme court also
confirms it, but only as to the lands
| which lie outside the reservation grant
ed the Indians by congress. In this lat
ter case, in which the supreme cour
decides a much mooted point, the opin-
| ion was assented to by seven of the SUI
preme court judges, while two dissent
! ed. The point decided is that the United
States is liable for damages only for
lands taken up on confirmed grants un-
der the general land laws, such as
~homesteads, and not for lands granted
by special act of congress, such as the
reservations given the Indians, and tina
the court Of private land claims cannot
confirm any grants over grants made
by congress. The damages against the
government allowed on lands taken vi
under the general land laws on con
irmed grants are not to exceed $1.25 pei
acre.

THE COAL FAMINE.
The Santa Fe Railway The Only One Well
Stacked,

The coal famine is a source of anxiety
to the railway companies, on account of
expected snow storms and a probable
strike by miners. From the coal mines
at Madrid from twenty-five to thirty
lars per day go out with coal, from Ger
rillos, but this amount is insufficient for
demand along the Santa Fe railway
alone. The Santa Fe road is commonly
credited with being the only n of the
large western railways which is we'll
prepared with fuel for the winter. Years
ago the Santa Fe suffered heavy losses
one winter on account of lack OF coal,
and it has ever since been the custom to
fill up every coal bin On the railroad IN
the summer. The deterioration of the
coal on account of exposure to the
/ weather and air is quite a loss each
/ year, but the loss is small compared with
| what it might be If the hand-to-mouth
| plan were in use.
1.-THE Denver & Rio Grande hasn't got
| enough coal on its line for its own use
| for a single day. h condition is not
| the fault Of any M individual or COM
pany. 1t is partly the fault Of the smelt-
ers, partly the fault of the railroads,
and partly the fault of the mine owners.
We are doing the best we can to relieve
the situation, but the outlook Is by no
means encouraging" said President e.
T. Jeffrey two days ago, after going to
the coal camps to investigate the short
age.
"There never was anything like it be-
fore on the system of the Denver & Rio
Grande," said G. M. Hobbs, who has
charge Of the coal supply of the road.
ION the broad-gauge portion of the road
we are tolerably we'll provided with
coal, but the narrow gauge is in a diff
ferent condition"
The mines are all running, and most
Of them are running with a fair number
of men on full time. The coal is snapped
IN as soon as it comes out of the mine,
!, and railroads are helping themselves to
coal passing over their lines in a way
which shows the roads are without any
coal reserves. They take it wherever
: they can find it. OF course, the roads
. pay for the coal thus appropriated, blu
1t sometimes puts a shipper to serious
| inconvenience when he is notified by
telegraph that a shipment is severa
e cars short on arriving at destination.
G. w. Vallery, of the Burlington road
$ gives as his opinion that the shortage Il
: occasioned by the unprecedented rusf
of business in all classes. Nobody
: could foresee the prosperity which hal
come over the country" said he. r
S cry line of business Is rushed almost tt
8 its limit, and the heavy business of tn
d railroads, the activity in manufactur
ing. the larger demand from privat'
v consumers who have more money t.
buy coal with than I'M the past, all com
e bined to bring on the existing condi
IS lions. The railroads have more equip
n ment than they ever had before, for al
n of them have beer buying equipment
l, but the new cars cannot carry all tn
vt business presented. We will all have t
e | do the best we can"

ANOTHER PROPOSED RESERVATION.
Instructions From the Department to In
vastigate Its AdyisabilitY.

Special agent Max Fracnt, OF the gen
eral land office, to-day received his de-
tailed instructions as to the inVestlga-
ton of the Aztec ruins in Colorado and
in San Juan county, N. NJ. The instruc-
tons read as follows:
'It is desired that you will place your
self in communication with DR.. With
row, of Durango, Colo, and also with
Judge Richard McCloud, late register OF
the Durango land office, with a view to
obtaining from them such information
as they may possess concerning the
matter of reported cliff dwellers V
in the vicinity of Mancos and Cortes, IN
Colorado, and also near Aztec, in New
| Mexico; and, thereafter, visit the local
tiles indicated and make a careful ex-
animation and report upon the subject
Of these ruins. Your report shall cover
| the following points: l. Whether title
| to the lands is still in the government.
9, If so, whether, for chronological or
| other scientific reasons, the ruins are OF
| such a nature as to render it desirable,
in the interests of the public, to reserve
| the lands as a national park. 3. A de-
| scription of the ruins and curiosities
therein. 4. Whether any interests in
volved will be injured by reserving the
lands. 5. All other facts which may be
material in considering the question OF
advisability of r%eserving these lands.
Should you recommend that the same
be set apart as a national park or parks
YOU will describe the lands to be re-
served by the lines of survey, II the
same have been surveyed; and, If un'
surveyed, by lines as they will be Wher
surveys are extended owe the lands
You will also accompany your recon-
~mendation with a diagram showing tn
lands which you deem should be re
served, and suggest a suitable name o
names for the park or parks"
The instructions were issued by Hor
Binger Hermann, commissioner of tn
general land office.
In this connection it a also state
by Receiver e. F. Hobart, of the FEEDER
al land office in this city, that the de
partment of the interior is considerin
the ~advisability of setting aside tn
. Santa Clara canon and ruins in tn
county as a national park. The ruiz
OF the cliff dwellers in Santa Clara "a
on are fully as interesting and valuab
AS those in the Mancos canon or mel
y Aztec.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is. 1899.

The manufacturers in the Pittsburg dis
trict are not going TO be represented very
extensively at The Paris Exposition, This,
however, IS not because Of the Dreyfus
case, or because France sympathized win
Spain during our recent war. The fact is
according to the DisDatc that the Pitts
burg manufacturer are 50 busy that
they haven't the time to bother with the
Paris Exposition. They are not drumming
up trade, for the reason that they could
not attend to il If they had it. Expositions
are utilized by producers who are hunting
market; just now in this country the
markets are hunting the producers, and
are having a mighty hard time to get
from them an amount of their products
sufhcient to meet the demand. In the opin-
ion of the Dispatch. the prosperity in the
United States is too great to warrant an
elaborate display at Paris.
