The attitude Of the Department o
the Interior with respect to protect
ing and specifically excepting mineral
lands in the patents issued on rail
road land grants, is stated in a letter
received by Colonel w S. Proskey,
IF Reno. says the Journal, in reply to
IN inquiry. and shows that, hereafter
the burden OF the proof will be upon
the railroads to secure lands claimed
o be mineral and those claiming min
rial lands from the railroads will have
less difficulty in establishing their
Claims whether patents have been
ssued or not
Under the new ruling promulgated
by Secretay OF the Interior Fisher.
April 1911, all patents hereafter is
sued shall contain an express eNcep-
ion removing from the title conveyed
I'll lands mineral in character now
;nown or hereafter discovered to be
1t will operate to make merely the
discovery of mineral lands held under
agricultural land patents. sufficient to
that land from the patent
without recourse to litigation on the |
)art of the discovercr and it will make |
he litigation go the other way, re
luiring the initiative for possession to |
)e taken by the railroad.
The ruling will apply to patents to
)e issued later than April 1911. Pat |
ants issued prior to April 1911 and
having no specific exception will
probably remain as difficult of attack
IS they have been in the past The
after depends for attack on the read
ng OF the grant which did not include
mineral land but after patent hao
3een secured having no exception OF
mineral lands specifically noted, the
resumption arises that there are no
mineral lands in the tract and this
presumption is hard to overthrow
lfter notice The only method OF
>verthrowing it is on the allegations
ii fraud claiming insufficient notice
md misrepresentation.
On patents to be issued hereafter,
however. there will be a provision
conveying only agricultural land Any
and not agricultural. whether known
hen or later discovered will not be
conveyed and will be open to pros
pectors. 1t will not be necessary for
)roSpectors to watch when patents
IRE issued or to appear and make
proof that the land is mineral. Neither
will they be forecloSed for delay in
finding the mineral character OF the
land
