Mineral Entry In Dispute.
In the local land office the register
and receiver have notice from the gen
eraI land office in Washington to set
a hearing in the matter Of the conflict
between the tOwnsite OF MOgOllon, "
u. and the mineral entry Of the So
zorro Mines company located in sec
ton 50, township 10 south Of range
10 west
It appears from the record that the
location of the Clifton lode in May 6,
1879, was followed by continuous work
on the various claims until July 10,
1903, at which time the amended To-
cation was made and the application
70 rpatent was filed covering a portion
of the ground that is claimed under
the tOwnsite OF MogollOn, patented to
the probate judge of SocorrO county
as trustee for the townsite settlers.
Covers Land of TOWnsite.
The mineral entry covers land used
Tor mining purposes long before the
Town of Mogollon was settled, and the
application for patent to the townsite
WAS not contested at the time il was
filled either through an oversight, or
thinking the mineral rights were par
amount to those Of the TOWNSHIP the
owners at that time doing their an
nual assessment did not bring forward
their claim to the land, and now the
application for a patent is made by the
mining company, the necessity for a
contest is pointed out by the commits
sioner Of the general land office and
this hearing will result.
In the pleading of the Mining COM
pany it is set Up that the title to the
particular portion Of the townsite in
conflict with this mineral application,
stiu rests in the probate judge of So
corro county, as no transfer OF the
land has been made to any settler in
the townsite, and this simplifies mat
ters very much.
