Law Intended to Favor Miners.

The intent Of the lawmakers in franz
ing the mineral laws above quoted is
plainly evident from reading the law.
1t was to hold the mineral lands ex-
clusively for the miner and prOSpector
who was willing to spend his energy
and means in exploring and prospecting
the land This is shown by the provi-
sion which requires that no homestead
er nor purchaser could buy any public
land yet unsold without first making an
affidavit that to the best of his knOwl-
edge and belief that no minerals Of the
kind mentioned in the act were to be
found on or in the land. No discretion
is left the commission as to saying
whether or not land is mineral or nom
mineral. The presumption as indicated
by this clause is strong that the land
was 10 be considered as mineral until
proved non-minera1, since the home
steader and purchaser was required to
file. an affidavit that to the best of his
knowledge the land was not mineral IN
the sense in which the term is used in
the construction of the law.
Then the refusal of the commissioner
to. accept and file the applications of
the persons wishing to prospect the land
in question because it has not been
classified as mineral, is contrary to the
statute which requires the non-mineral
affidavit of homesteaders and prospect
Ors. The mere fact that the state has
been negligent in having the lands clas-
sified required by the law is not con-
sidered a good reason for the commits
sioner refusing to accept and file the
applications which come to his office
In other words the commissioner is held
10 be defeating one Of the ends for
which his office was created.
