MISSION TRACT
IS The PRIZE
Plaintiffs in Tide Lands
Litigation Score Point
in the Highest Court
CASE TO BE REVIEWED
Hundred and Sixty Acres,
Thickly. Settled and Worth
Many Millions, Involved

A dispatch from Washington re-
ceived yesterday conveyed intelligence
Of a momentous nature to all those
property owners who have acquired
lands in the southern section of the
city, which have been known for many
wears as mission tide lands" The dis
patch IS to the effect that the Supreme
Court of the United States had granted
to cerain petitioners the writ of error
sought for. by which the whole case
will be reviewed by the Supreme Court
and later on the rights of the plaintiffs
in the case finally determined. All the
testimony of record and the pleadings
will now be brought before the court,
and the case reviewed from the begin
ming.
The case is one that has been before
the State courts in some form or an
other for upward of a quarter of a CEN
tury. 1t was first brought in the Supe-
rior Court in 1850. and was tried before
Judge Levy in 1895. That jurist de-
cided adversely to the plaintiffs on the
ground that the State of California had
no right to sell pueblo lands. An ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of this State
was taken and Judge Levy's decision
was sustained on the same grounds
The decision was rendered June 10, 1903.
An appeal was then taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
which has rendered decision to grant
the writs asked for and to be followed
by review of the whole case, an

sought The plaintiffs in the case are
jubilant and believe that the Supreme
Court will ultimately grant them pos
session of the valuable lands they have
so long striven to acquire.
The lands embraced In the litigation
are thus described:
Commencing at the corner of Fifth
and Brannan streets. thence along the
southerly line of Brannan street to
Ninth, thence following line Of high
water mark to Folsom and Four
teenth. thence south on Folsom to
Seventeenth, thence north to Mis-
sion street, thence south to Eigh-
teenth, thence east to Treat avenue,
thence following line Of high water
mark easterly and southerly to Con-
necticut street. thence to place OF be-
ginning"
Altogether the tract embraces about
160 acres and is occupied by many
large manufactures and at least 500
property owners. The largest cor
porate owner in the tract is the
Southern Pacific Railroad, which has
miles of road sheds, repair shops and
freight warehouses within the born-
daries of the disputed lands. 1t is
estimated that the property sued for
is worth at a moderate valuation
about s5.oo0.00o.
The land claimed by the United
Land Association was first pre-empted
by G.. w. Ellis and others in 1853. In
November, 1870, Ellis, Creed Hay
mond and Charles P. Duane disposed
of their interest for valuable con-
sideration to William H. Patterson,
who held the lands in question until
1878, when they were purchased by c.
C. Tripp. the actual appellant In the
case. Congress. by the act of March
8, 1855, relinquished whatever claim
the United States had to the land
within San Francisco, but it is claimed
that Congress only granted lands sit
uated above ordinary high water
mark" as located by the "Stratton"
survey of 1S67-s.
1t is contended that the lands ac-
quired by G. w. Ellis in 1853 were
tide lands, lying along the bed of
Allison Creek-owned by the State
and not by the city-and also marsh
and overfiowed lands lying along the
shore of Mission Creek and granted
to the State. as well as tide lands
under the bay of San Francisco. The
last described are the ones which the
United Lands Association is attempt
ing to assert title and ownership to-
