pendous figure of $500, 1000, 900 is said
to depend upon the outcome OF the
legal controversy which opened in
earnest today before the supreme
court of the United States Edmund
w. Burke filed before the court his
printed argument in favor of IA claim
To a portion of the land in controver-
sy, scathingly arraigning the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company, also
fighting for the property.
The case will be argued orally Jan
uary 9Th. The land in controversy in
this particular case in the oil fields of
southern California The southern
Pacific claims it under a land grant
act and interior department patents
which contained the provision. 'eX
Guiding and excepting all mineral
lands, should any such be found in
the tract
The validity and effect of this ex-
ception is receiving unusual attention
because of its having been included
in the land grants to other railroads
FOR decades Mr. Burke contends that
all oil land is mineral land.
According to the brief filed today,
the Interpretation of the exception
will determine the Southern Pacific's
claim to oil land worth more than the
entire railroad itself. The brief
charges the railroad with attempting
to control the mineral development of
California through dummy corpora
tions and suggests that If ii would
stop this it would have more time to
devote to the carrying of passengers
and freight, Just as ii has greatly
enhanced its v'eiue since the few years
il was relieved of the political con
troll of California
The railroad it is contended, would
have the courts hold land to be more
valuable for agricultural purposes
than for mining when the land has
hundreds of oil wells spouting forth
their riches
