Nevada Land Frauds

Investigations by the interior depart
ment have revealed gross land frauds
in Alaska. Ariz ma. California, Oregon,
Nevada and Washington. The value of
the land involved foots up 81 228, 800.
Cases involving these lands are now
pending either before the federal courts
or are in process of Investigation before
the department courts Chief Swartz
says that there is good reason to believe
that every acre of this land, which is in
the hands of private individuals and
corporations, Can be"recovered
A Washington dispatch of the 9th has
the following in regard to the Nevada
frauds:
Although there are fewer cases in
Nevada than in any of the states and
territories mentioned, the land involved
is worth $40, 364, 900, more than half the
entire sum. And the principle involved
in these Nevada cases makes them I'M
doubtedly the most important cases
that have come up for years. If the
government wins it's contention, the
Hartman lines will be forced to dis
gorge thousands of acres of wealthy
land that were acquired from congress
when the late Senator Stanford of Cali
fornia and his coterie of financiers
secured the now famous Central Pacific
land grants by the act of July ., 1862.
Three hundred and seventy thousand
d)llarS worth of Nevada lands that are
sought by the government are RoyUlite
township lands held under mining loca-
tions and the principle involved there
Is almost us important as the principle
involved in the Central Pacific suits.
The RhyOlite lands are held by the
'Smeltcr Trust" under miners locations
and If they arc secured by the govern
ment. this will b1 the entering wedge
to the recovery of other sDcalled mining
lands which have either been secnred
aus coal lands or through dummy entries
its actual mining lands.
But $40, 900, 900 worth of the Nevada
lands are now in the secession of the
Central and Southern Pacific railroads
and the suit to regain possession of
them will call forth the best energies of
the Hartman attorneys and the trained
experts of the government when they
are called i'll the Nevada courts soon.
-Four cases have already been brought
involving lands valued conservatively
at 25,OOOO0O. This estimate of the
value of the lands is based upon mines
actually operating on the lands. The
grant to Senator Stanford and his
associates expressly provided that no
mineral lands should be taken by the
railroad with the full knowledge that
D they contained valuable minerals A
case is before tho department involving
800 acres Of mineral land in Nevada
valued conscrvatively at $15, 900. 600
secured by the Central Pacific Railroad
20. under it's grant. This will not he
taken to court because the settlement of
the cases already pending will settle
this case.

board OF education
There are now goodlv number of
aspirants for the position in question.

Some members of the board are OF
the opinion that the matter OF appoint
ing a new superintendent should be
attended to with dispatch, go that the
one selected to fill the important posi-
tion would have the opportunity to
witness the workings of the high
school before the close of the school
