IMPORTANT DECISION.

A case that is of interest to MINI
ers and applicants for agricultural
land, involving a question that has
been the subject of controversy Tor
long time and which has been be
fore the various branches of the
land department for the past ten
years, was decided by the secretary
o. the interior recently. The specific
facts of the case as given by the
Calaveras (CaL) Prospect, are as fol
lows:
The land involved i'm the contro-
yersy is situated on Bear Creek, near
West Point, Calaveras county, and
was entered as a homestead by the
late Samuel Menadue in March, 1897.
Before prosecuting the entry to final
proof, Menadue died and H. J. McKis-
SON. as guardian Of Menadue's minor
sen, attempted to make final proof,
but was opposed by several mineral
claimants, who contended that the
land was more valuable for the min
eral it contained than for agricul-
tural purposes. A contest was filed
by the mineral claimants and the
land department was asked to order
a segregation of the mining claims
from the homestead entry before pas
sing the entry to patent.
The chief of the field division of
the general land office then made an
examination of the land in question
and reported that all of the land en-
braced in the homestead entry was
mineral in character, and recommen-
ded the cancellation Of the entry, as
to the land in conflict with the min
ing claims and also all the remain
ling land covered by the homestead.
I The contest was tried in the Sac
ramento land office, where it was
decided in favor of he mineral claim
ants, but the decision was reversed
on appeal by the commissioner of the
general land office a Washing ion.
The mineral claimants then appeal
ed to the secretary of the interior,
whose decision in favor Of the min
eral claimants is final and stamps
the entire tract of land covered by
the entry as mineral in character.

"Groundhcg Cases"

Tuesday, February 2, was ground
hog day On that day, according to
ancient tradition, the groundhog
comes out of his hole to look about,
and if there is enough sunshine 50
ground, he goes back aud remains
six weeks longer. Whether that be
true or not We have nc means Of
knowing. Anyway Dan McGlone de-
clares he saw one near the railroad
track on that day ccme up, look
down at his shadow and then dive
back quickly, and offers to prove it
by by Joe Calhoun. But since there
are NO groundhogs in this locality
it is more than likely it was only a
prairie dog or ground squ rrel he saw
and didn't know the difference. Ac-
cOrding to those who dote on that
old legend, there is only one time in
the history of the country when the
grounding failed 10 bcb up ON Febru-
ary I'd and that was during Roose-
velt's administration, about the time
when the president was appointing
so many negroes to fedora positions
Sit was said that the grounding did
not come out that time for fear
Teddy" would drop a coon" in his
hole. AS President Wilson is not
particularly fond of coon meat or
''black velvet" it is q pretty sure
thing that there were no such
grounding cases. to record this
year-except Dams.
