N. P. WINS BIG LAND CASE

balance Of the land to be OF mineral
character. An appeal was prosecut-
ed by the company from this decIs-
ion to the commissioner and 1t was
affirmed by Commissioner Ballinger.
The railroad then filed a motion ask
Ing for review Of the decision OF
the commissioner. In support of this
motion 1t contended that at the time
that the commission classified the
land as mineral 1t was a physical inn
possibility to examine 1t by the MEM
beers Of the commission, and that no
examination in fact was made: that
therefore the character OF the land
had never been established and that
the classification should be revoked.
Commissioner Dennit decided In ia
vor of the company, and his decision
was afterwards approved by Secre-
tary Garfield. More or less specula-
ton is now being INDUCED in by
those interested md familiar with
the case as to what action Secretary
Ballinger, whose decision while COM
missioner was against the company,
will take with relation to the case.

which is approved by the secretary
Of the interior. in the celebrated con.
test case of the Northern Pacific rail-
road company against the classified
ton as mineral of 90 townships OF
land situated south and east of the
city of Wallace. The lands were
classified as mineral by commission
appointed under the act of February
20, 1898, and when the commission
fled its report the railroad company
entered protest against the CLASH
fication, and the decision received
sustains the company and reYokes
the classification made by the com
mission. The act under which the
commission was appointed and au-
thorized to make the classification
has, it Is said, been repealed, and an
Interesting question has arisen In
connection with the decision as to
what steps. If any. the government
will now take, looking to the CLASH
fication Of the lands, as 1t is said that
there is no law under which they can
be re-classified and the opinion ex-
pressed by those familiar with the
facts. and the law on the subject, is
that there will be no re-classification
but that the lands will go to the rail-
road company.
Is Celebrated Case.
The case is perhaps one of the
most interesting and celebrated that
has ever been prosecuted in the local
land office as it involves an immense
tract of land, the timber upon which
is conservatively estimated at a val
ne of 100000. The litigation was

entered a protest against the CLASH
flcation. 1t won before the local of
flee and an appeal was taken to the
who sustained the decis-
ion of the local officers.
In 1904 certain mineral claimants
took the matter up for the purpose
of protecting their rights, and the
former decision was set aside by the
secretary of the interior on the
ground that SUFFICIENT notice of pub

the local officers rendered a decision
In favor of about 100 mineral claim
