MINERAL LANDS
ARE IN DANGER
State Mining Bureau Says
SO to President and to
Governor of California

The attention of President Roose-
welt has been called by the trustees of
the State Mining Bureau and the
State Mineralogist to an abuse in the
entry of lands in California. In a
memorial thev have set forth that in
the large area of land recently re-
leased by the Government from the
forestry reserves in California there
are 1,097 ,120 acres in the Redding.
Susanville, Sacramento, Stockton and
Visalia land districts, the greater part
of which having been surveyed, by
contract, many years ago by raen en-
tirely unacQuainted with geological
conditions, has never been properly
divided. 1t is therefore urged that
the United States Geological Survey
restored to entry, whether they are
mineral in character, otherwise they
will be lost to miners.
Yesterday the report of the Min
ing Bureau trustees and of State Min
eraIogist Aubury to the Governor was
issued from the State Printing Office.
This is published in pamphlet form.
Therein Mineralogist Aubury returns
to the attack upon those who are
standing ready to get possession of
mineral lands under misleading desig-
nations. He sets forth for the en-
lightenment of the Governor and the
Legislature that it is imperative that
action should be taken to protect the
mineral lands from scrippers and
from all except mineral entries. This
department is in possession" so al
leges Aubury. "of evidence that par
ticularly in the Marysville and Susan
Vile districts there are tracts of min
eral lands affected by the order re-
storing lands to entry"

DECLARE WIDOW
is A SUBSTITUTE
Evidence That Lum Quota
Was Brought From China
Under Name of Another

The last complexity has been added
to the Chinese puzzle over the estate
of Chew Bing Quota, and, after the
arguments, which may be made to-
day. the problem will go up to Judge
Coffey for solution. It developed in
the examination yesterday that a ma
tive born daughter Of Chinatown was
taken TO China by her mother and left
there and that another girl was sub
stituted and brought here under the
native girls name and registered. The
substituted maiden, it is declared, was
none other than Lum Quota. the
woman who says she Is the widow Of
the labor contractor and who testified
that she was born in California and
had never been to China.
1t was testified yesterday that Ng
Sui Ling, who was one of Quota s
secondary wives, went to China
with her little daughter. Chew

Ho, it is said. was left in the
Flowery Kingdom, grew up and was
married. The mother in 1893 re.
turned with Lum Quota, who had been
purchased as a slave for the con-
tractor; the girl was passed as Nee
IHo, and in February, 1894, got a resi-
dence certificate under that name, Ng
Sui Ling getting her certificate at the
same time. Copies Of these GER
tificates were brought from Washing
ton and offered in evidence.
Witnesses testified to having been
present at the departure of the two
from China and others to having been
present at the arrival here and the
identity of the alleged widow and the
substituted girl was sworn in

buttal of the testimony of Low Doom.

Appointments Not valid.

Judge Sloss yesterday dismissed the
application for writ of mandate and
ordered judgment for the respondent
in the suit of Paul Bellemans against
Auditor Harry Baehr to compel the
auditing of Bellemans' September sal
ary warrant for $66 sc as extra deputy
in the Recorders office. Bellemans
and four others were appointed in
September at salaries of 500 a month,
but their warrants were turned down
oil the contention that their appoint
ments had not been submitted by the
Supervisors to the Mayor in accord
ance with the provisions of the char
ter. The contention that the appoint
ments were therefore invalid is sus-
tanned by the ruling of Judge Sloss.

properties who lease signboard sites to
the advertisers. He stated that along

carpenters were then busy filling in the
vacant places that remained. Gov
