STATE SUES FOR IRON ORE.
Attorney General Takes Steps to De-
tern1ine Procedure,

e. ISCntne FToCeoure.
ST.. Paul.-Attorney General George
T. Simpson has written the brief to
be filed in district court at Duluth,
laying claim to the iron ore underly-
ing Longyear lake in St. Louis coun-
ty, approximately valued at $4,000.
This, however, is only a prelimin-
airy step toward laying claim to more
than 25,000,000 tons of iron ore I'M
derlying Embarrass river in a more
remote section of the state. The
principle involved in both cases will
be the same. Should the state. win
the Longyear suit, a precedent will
be established. ##
The suits hinge on the question of
riparian rights. The state contends
that the title of upland owners ex-
tends only to the high: water mark
with certain rights appurtenant to the
upland which do not include the right
to mine in or otherwise sever the bot
tom of the lake. It insists that it
owns the bottom of the lake including
the iron ore therein, and that it is en-:
titled to an accounting for all the iron
ore which has been taken from it..
Riparian rights, Mr.. Simpson con-
tends, give owners Of lands adjacent
to navigable waters right of access or
egress, but do not confer title to land
or ores beneath them.
The suit is brought against Eliza
Korrer and Annie L. Korrer, who own
what is known as lot 5, section 81,
township So north, range 20 west.
The owners leased the mineral rights
to mining company.
