that are very valuable for varnishes

OF the gums of about 2O00 or 1000

CAMERON CLAIM TEST
CASE IS TAKEN FROM
LAND OFFICE HANDS
Litigation Concerning JurisdiC-
ton in Contests Over Proper
ties ON Which Patents Has Not
Been Made Goes to Courts.

PHOENIX. Dec. 15.-The register
and receiver of the United States land
Office received instructions this morn
ing to take no further action in the
case Of the government against Ralph
Cameron. involving the title to mining
claims in the Grand Canyon
Testimony in the case, on the part
of the government, had been taken
when Camerons attorney applied to
the United States for an injunction re-
straining the land Office from taking
any further action in the case. This
application was denied by Judge Saw.
talle and on the date set for taking
the testimony Of Defendant Cameron
his attorney applied for a postpone
ment Of the case until an appeal from
the decision of the United States dis
trict court be heard
This application was denied and the
defendant not offering any testimony
the case was ordered closed for de
cision in the land office. The opinion
i'm the case was being prepared when
the above mentioned telegram from
the commissioner of the general lano
Office was received ordering q stay
of further proceedings in the matter,
on account of an appeal being fileu
in the United States court OF appeals
in the District OF Columbia
More than ordinary interest az.
taches to this case The question has
never been satisfactorily settled by
the courts, involving as it does the
jurisdiction of mining claims for
which patent has not been made. and
as to whether il is vested in the I'M
terror department or i'm the courts.
A number Of cases are pending in
! the department involving the question
and it is strongly limited that the case
against Cameron was determined on
as a test case, knowing that he would
fight it through the supreme court and
obtain a decision which would settle
the question once and for all Blu
while it is virtually a test case, it IS
not considered in any respect as 8
friendly suit, as the department is in
sistent in the position which il has
taken, while the defendant is equally
insistent on his position, that the
courts and not the land Office is tn,
place to determine the legal rights o
the holder Of mining claims under I
location notice. and compliance witt
the requirements of the law govern
ing them.
