Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This action against the Secretary of the Interior was to require him to grant the appellant's application for a prospecting permit on certain lands located in what is known as the Kramer Borax District in California. Burnham Chemical Company appeals from the order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia which dismissed its complaint.
The opinion of the district judge, reported in 81 F.Supp. 911, seems to us to demonstrate the soundness of his conclusion.
Affirmed.
