STATE or MINNESOTA LOSES
Supreme Court Decides Famous "vir.
oinia Silver" Case.

SI0bd 0IlvSC NdSes
st. Paul, Sept. 8.-The decision Of
the st. Louis county district court In
the case Of the state of Minnesota VS..
Mabel Evans is affirmed in decision
handed down by Chief Justice Start
of the supreme court. This was the
famous Virginia Silver tract, supposed
to be very valuable.
The defendant also prevailed In the
lower court, where the validity Of the
lease and it's issuance was attacked on
the ground of fraud
In the supreme court the cOnstitu-
tiOnality of the laws relating to the
issuance of mineral leases was as
sailed This court holds the laws con-
stitutional
The defendant, Mabel Evans, was a
sister of one Patterson, a former en-
ploye under eX-State Auditor Robert
G.. Dunn and it was claimed during
the last state election that favoritism
was shown in the issuance of the lease.
The case involved the validity of
the sale of iron ore leases in the
Mesaba range Had the Mabel Evans
case been decided in favor of the state
the commonwealth treasury would
have been enriched by over $10,000,-
900, as some of the most valuable
tracts of land in the Mesaba country
are held only on leases from the state
secured at state sales, the state simply
getting rs cents per ton rOyalty
