WILL. JACKSON, Dentist, KAIE- W ashington , May 4th.— Cupp's Land Owner for May contains the fol lowing decision of the Interior Depart ment in the case of Bellows et al, owners of the Champion mine : It is held that the party who entered the land under the homestead laws and re ceived a patent therefor acquired no title to the known mines therein. The owners of such mines may make application for a patent the same as though no homestead entry had been allowed covering their claims. All mines located in the Black Hills, Dako ta Territory, should be recorded, to fully insure them in regard to title. Therefore where such locations were made prior to the ratification of the treaty, to-wit: February 28, 1877, in the case of Mull vs. Rolls A Ross, it is held that where the land has t>een re turned as agricultural in character on a township plat, but the township is afterwards withdrawn as mineral land, the burden of proof is shifted upon the agricultural claimant, to show no min eral character of the tracts he claims. The donation Act of 1851) expired by limitation December I, 1855, and set tlers under that Act will not be al lowed, after the expiration of the Act, to set up a claim to lands falling out side of their original notification, and over which they have exercised no le gal control. The heirs or devisees of a deceased homestead claimant cannot he held responsible for the failure of a public officer to administer upon the estate, and that statute does not run against the heirs during the time which elapsed after the death of the claimant and the date the administra tor takes charge of the estate, provid ing the heirs are without notice of their rights, and the estate is admin istered upon within seven years. Where the party who has made a tim ber cult uro entry fails to do the break ing required by the Act of March 13, 1871, within one year, his entry should I k ; canceled upon satisfactory proof of such failure. Homestead claimants can now make their final proof before tlie Judge, instead of being compelled to travel to the local land offices. T he L ength of the W ar .—The latest dispatch 'from London says: Public opinion has settled to the con clusion that the Eastern war will be of long duration and inevitably involve other nations than the present combat ants, for these reasons : First—Russia’s real purpose is to en large her sea coast, a policy which she cannot forego pursuing relentless ly, while it is difficult to see how she can permanently hold anything worthy of her struggle without occupying Con stantinople and securing command of the straits connecting the Mediter ranean with the Black Sea, or landing troops in Egypt. Either of these stop* tnust certainly provoke armed in tervention by other powers. Second—Russia’s immense internal resources and her popular enthusiasm in this war insure great tenacity of purpose. Third—The Turks are brave and will fight desperately, realizing that their nationality and religion are at atake. Again—The Russians will find it ex ceedingly difficult to exercise effect ively her clear belligerent right of blockade without provoking the hos tility of commercial nations interested in the Black Sea, Suez canal or the Dardanelles. American bread producers may easily calculate, therefore, on ar. exten sive and dragging war, notwithstand ing the crippled finances of both com batants.
