Entering Mineral Land.
Tho following letter ol the Commiss
ioner of the Land Oflice, defining what
kind oi mineral land was contemplated
by tho Statute, will bo ol Interest to
our mining population :
DiH'AKiitK.vr ov tiir Intkiuoii, )
Gcnorn! Land Oflici',August27,'0B. J
Register and rcreiver V. S. Land
Office, San Francisco, California Gun
tleuicu : This ollicc has reeotved a let
ter from A. Cassolli, of San I-'raucisco,
President ol tho "Clierokco Flat Hluu
Gravel Company." incorporated under
tho lawsol California, requesting to bo
informed whether said Company can
obtain n patent (or their claim under
the mining Act of July 20, 1800. Iu
reference to the subject the following
is communicated : Tho mining Act
provides (or p.itculiug veins, or lodes
of quart, or other rook iu placo, bear
ing gold, silver, cinnabar or copper,
but furnishes no description nl thu
terms vein or lode. Iu geology and
among miners thuy imply generally nu
aggregation of mutalU matter found
in the lUturcs of the rocks which in
closes it, but niu of u gieat Variuty,
veins difluring very much iu their for
mation and appearance. I,odu is a term
in geuoral use among tho tin minors ol
Cornwall, iu Kngland, and was intro
duced on thu Pacific Coast, by immi
grants from thu Cornish mines, and
signifies a fissure tilled cither by me
(alio or earthy matter. In Nevada thu
turm lodge is uaually.cmployed iu reg
ulations concerning minus, aud in Mon
tana thu terms lead, lode or ledge aro
similarly used. Ledgo would mcsiii lo
convey thu idea oi a layer of stratum
interposed between a courso or ridgo ot
rocks. Veins may )e either scdimun
tary, plutouio or segregated or of infil
tration or attrition, dtqendiiig upon
its peculiar formation' or tho modu oi
occutcucu ol tho metalio deposits. In
Calllnrnia tho ancient i i vcr channels or
what aro supposed to be such, found in
various mining districts, filled with n
compact blue gravel rich in gold, aro
called tho "blue lead," and frequently
iu common parlanec, tho "blue vtin."
Kvcn tho shallow "diggings" or plaoom
are sometimes found to occur in such
regular layers or courses as to receive
from tho minora working them the
names of veins of loads. There ia also
soother form of deposit ot all or of
some'of tho four metals, weutiomfU in
tho mlriiug Act, different from cither
of thoio mentioned above, called con-'
tact deposit. Enropeon Valuers men
tion still others, called in English
"Floors," in Germany "Stockworkc,"
anrl a fona oi deposit known as "Fahl
bands." Theso latter are, moro prop
erly speaking, oro bearing bolts, irrcg
ular in thuir diuiuisiuus, but present
ing a degree ol parallelism with eauh
other. Neither is tho mode of occur
ence designated' as "coutact-dupoHit"
considered a a true vein or lodo. Iu
(act, il tho qucstiou was rauod, neither
ot tho forms known as eontaqt-deposU,
Fahlbauds, or segregated vejus, could,
bo accepted as truo metaliferoua vein,
nor could it be made to apjwar wit'l
out expensive oxeayatioas, whether tho
metal iu the mino for which a, patent
U applied lor oreurs ia the form oi a

that n very strict construction placed
upon the torroaised in tho raining Act,
Would txcludo from its benefits a large
class of olainfs, even of the branoh of
roek mining, front the impossibility of
proving tho metalio deposit to occur iu
thu form of a true vein. Duf thero is
no reason for suppoeiug that tho terms
wore employed according to their striot
geological signification. The plain ob
ject of the law is to dispose, on naoaey
vqluof ot the mineral Janus el fne urn
tod StateB, and if the clainant is wiK
iipg to pay tha prjco named in ,th Act
it is cjeariy a matter, o indiflferenQO o

that tho "pincers weru i?om(rig exhaJtf
tod, and that their claimants di3 not
care about buying tho land oi obtain
ing patctitH ; qr i may be that the Aot
was drafted mainly in view, of localities'
where placer miuing constitutes a very
inconsiderable branch of the business
compared to rocky miuing, and henco
tho phraseology ot the Act seems tn
hac more direct reference to vein win
ing than any other branch, Hut what
over may be tho cause ol tho phraseol
ogy adopted, it is very evident to tho
mind of tho Commissioner that no
purpose or design existed in the minds
cither of the framors of thu bill or tho
Congress thnl passed it, to exclude any
class ol miners that chose (o nvall them
selves of its provisions. Consequently
thu law should receive tho most liberal
construction that thi" langurigo will ad
mit of, and ovcry class ol claims that,
cither according' to scieuttfio accuracy
or popular usage, can bc"b!assed and
applied (or as n vein or lodo may bo
patented under the law. It may bo
observed as an important point, that
no prool is required to establish tho
vein formation ol tho deposit, tho law
evidently contrmpl.illiig none. It re
quires the Surwynr General to certify
"to thu character ol thu vein exposed;"
but that is understood to mean that tho
certificate should show whether the ex
posed vein contains gold, silver, cinna
bar or copper, an it would fiequuiitly
bo ilupossihlfor tho Surveyor General,
even II his knowledge ol mineral vuins
was sufficient to render liinl otherwise
competent to determine whether thn
deposit conformed to onu class of veins
or the other, or whether it wns n truo
vein nt all, without oxtcmivo excava
tions a requirement certainly not con-'
templntcd by thu mining Act.
