The first question to be considered is

was authorized to select known min

The state OF Utah has no right TO Sc
lect known mineral lands in satisfac-
ton to the grants TO it by the federal
government, and therefore has not the
right to pass title to such lands TO
third parties.
This is the feature of a decision rem
dered yesterday by Judge John A.
Marshall OF the federal district court,
which in its effect is the most sweep
ing and far-reaching ever handed down
in Utah. The opinion also states tiat
those holding land by virtue of state
grants have no title to the same, rs
the state could not pass title. having no
right To the land itself. Innocent pun
chasers Of such land cannot be pro-
teeted. and even if it was not known
ct the time of the selections that the
land contained mineral deposits any
subsequent discovery invalidates the
title.
Two Cases Involved.
