OIL COMPANIES
WIN On APPEAL
Important Opinion Is
Handed Down by
the Court.

Judges Gilbert Morrow and Hawley,
sitting as the United States Circuit Court
OF Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, handed
down two opinions yesterday-one by
Judge Hawley, affirming the decree of the
Circuit Court in the celebrated oil land
cases entitled The Pacific Land and I'm
proVement Company VS.. The Elwood Oil
Company, and The Cosmos Exploration
Company VS.. Gray Eagle Oil Company,
and the other by Judge Gilbert, dissent
ing.
The history of the case is as follows:
On December %, 1899, J. r. Johnston Sc
lected the east half of the southwest
quarter of section T. township 20 south,
range % east, M d. M, in Kern County,
consisting OF eighty acres, in lieu of a
tract OF eighty acres non-mineral land
Included within the limits of public for
est reservation, for which the United
states had issued to him a patent. On
April IL, 1900, Johnston conveyed this land
70 the Pacific Land and Improvement
Company.
The claim of the defendants was based
upon certain placer mining location COW
er1ng the southwest quarter of section 4
IN June, 1899, by eight persons, who con-
Veyed their rights to the ElWood Oil Com
pany, and upon the contention that the
location by Johnston was void for the
reason that no discovery of oil or other
mineral was made until after the Selec-
ton by Johnston. After the lands were
selected by him certain of the defendants
was mineral land, and the defendants
forcibly entered upon the property, erect
ed derricks and other machinery and pro-
ceeded to extract oil

Courts Without Jurisdiction.

The complainant asked for an injunc-
ton restraining the defendants from US
ing the land. In the opinion the court
saws:
We are Of the opinion that the Federal
courts are without jurisdiction to entertain a
suit TO determine the respective rights of the
parties to any land to which the title remains
IN the United States Government in regard to
winch contest is pending in the Land De-
partment between the parties. An action of
eJectnent cannot be maintained in the courts
OF the United States a merely equitable
title. The averments in the bill are suscep-
tible Of the construction that the defendants
are IN possession of the land in controversy.
While such a bill might be entertained in u
State court, it is not -cognizabe by a Federal
court OF equity, the remedy being at law. The
general rule is well settled that the right to a
patent once vested is treated by the Govern
equivalent to a patent issued and when a
patent does issue it relates back to the incep-
ton of the right of the patentee. 1t is true
be made until the discovery of mineral 1t
eral was found the land in question was unoc-
cupied.
The possessory rights of the miners have
been recognized by law, although in all such
cases the legal title to the land remains in the
Government. No right be initiated on
Government land which is in the actual possess
sion Of another by a forcible, fraudulent or
clandestine entry thereon.
The judgment of the Circuit Court in
both cases is affirmed, with costs.

Judge Gilbert Dissents.

Judge Gilbert, in his dissenting opinion,
says that the marking and establishing
of four corners and posting at one of
them a notice of the claim do not by
themselves give any right whatever to the
locator. Land covered by such claim
is truly vacant land, open to settle
ment,' as is any other land of the public
domain: There is no statutory right of
possession or occupation or any other
prior to discovery, save and except the
right of exploration. The right Of ex-
ploration, for miners upon the public do
main is but license. 1t does not, prior
to discovery, constitute a legal right in
or to the land on which exploration is
made. Until discovery of the mineral the
law gives him no right whatever, except
to defend himself against the invasion of
another who has no greater right.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD

ALSO A FEW FACTS ON THE SAME SUBJECT.
We hear much nowadays about health foods and
hygienic living, about vegetarianism and many
other fads along the line.
Restaurants may be found in the large cities
where no meat pastry or coffee Is served and the
food crank is in his glory and arguments aud
theories galore advanced to prove that meat was
never Intended for human stomachs, and almost
make US believe that our sturdy ancestors who
lived four score years in robust health on roast
beef. pork aud mutton must have been grossly
ignorant Of the laws of health
Our forefatbers had other things to do than
formulate theories about the food they ate. A
warm welcome extended to any kind from
bacon to acorns.
lent guides to follow in matters Of diet. and a
mixed diet Of grains. fruits and meats Is un-
doubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegetables. meat
furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concen-
trated form and is digested and assmilated more
quickly than vegetables and Grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nerv-
GUS persons, people run down in health and Of low
vitality should eat meat aud plenty Of it. II the
digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be easily
corrected by the regular use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal. Two Of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains Of meat, eggs other animal food
in three hours. and no matter how weak the stom-
ach may be. no trouble will be experienced II a
regular practice is made Of using sShart's Dyspep
.ia Tablets because they supply, the pepsin and
diastase necessary to perfegt Digestion and every
form Of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
That large class Of peopieswho come under the
head Of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty Of
meat and insure its proper digestion by the daily
use OF safe harmless digestive medicine like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. composed Of the natu-
raj digestive principles. pepsin. dastase. fruit
acids. and salts. which actually perform De work
Of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines. masquer-
aiding under the name OF dyspepsia cures. are use
less for indigestion. as they have absolutely no
effect upon the actual digestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is simply fail
ure OF the stomach to digest food and the sensble
way to solve the riddle and eure the dyspepsia Il
to make daily use at meal time Of q preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which ID endorsed
BY the medical profession and known to contain
active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
t0c. for full treatment.
