fully satisfied the requirements of
the mining laws and regulations.
Under such circumstances. and in
the absence of a protest by one
claiming title the question as to the
real ownership of a claim is not or

department.
Accompanying the petition, pray
ing a vacation of said departmental
decisions, is one for the reinstate-
ment of the entries. In view of the
foregoing, the decisions of the de-
partment of January 81, 1911, and
September s, 1912, are vacated, and
the commissioners decision of April
IL, 1910, reversed, and the entries
will be reinstated, and, if the pro-
ceedings upon which the entries
were allowed be found to be in all
other respects regular, the entries
upon reinstatement will be passed
to patent.
