'ynless Found More Valuable -.;. f Timber or Agricultural Pur poses" than for Mineral. for jfln reply to tho inquiry of "Prospector," wo submit the letter of Mr. Mills to the committee of the miners, meeting held at Cauyonville. It fully explains tho posi tion of tho company, which occurs to us to mean that it will soil its now patented mineral land for $2,50 per acre, provided it is not worth more for agricultural pur poses. Mr! Mills ovldently intended the letter to be exhaustive of the subject. San Fiiancisco, March 12, 1895. Gentlemen: I reply in this to your esteemed favor of March 7th. Itshould bo known at the outset where lands are k'r.own to be mora valuable for mineral than agriculture, the Government itself cannot patent such lands to tho railroad company. Mineral lands were not sub ject to tho grant. It was not in the con templation of Congress to give to tho railroads lands known to be more valu able for minora! than agriculture, the words of the grant excluding such lands from its operation. The secretary of the interior has estabished machinery de signed to determine .the character of tho land before patent is issued. After such hcariug au-1 determination, if U16 land is decided not to be more valuable for min eral thau agriculture, and if it is an odd numbered section within the granted limits, then it is patentable to the rail road company. Subsequent discovery of mineral in the land does not invali date the title of the company. The mineral passes (kith tho title. If you will please consider this carefully, you will sec that the inquiry in your letter as to what the railroad company will do with mineral lands, if the government gives it title to such lands, has no rele vancy. Tho question should have been. What will tho railroad company do with land patented to it in which minerals are subsequently found? Tho land patented to the company becomes its pnvato property. It does not, however, desiio such land for the mineral found therein. It cannot of itself mine fcr mineral. It cannot sell the land for a mineral vain a uon. 1 tns is tne conclusion ot experi ence. Mining is an extra-hazardous en terprise. It cannot be absolutely known that ground presenting indications of mineral contains mineral iu sufficient quantities to justify tho expenditure of timo and labor in mining for it. In the great majority of cases such indications are deceptive. Mines are not always found as tho itsult of exploration, but the hopes of rinding mineral incites ex ploration, and thus it is that prospecting proceeds continually in any region sap posed to be auriferous. Such prospect- j ing is done only in the bopo of acquiring I the full value of the mine. No one would spend money and incur the extra j risk of finding nothing unless they ex and ! peeled to own tho raining property in its pneumonia by wearing a chest protector, j fully developed state.

It is impossible to determine what price would bo asked for valuable timber land own"d by tho rompauy, and it is unroHPni nblo to ;t&k (lint a qU'Sliou of that elmnictcr eh jttlil ! determined be fore nn examination nf ti n hind it If. If an individual mviiH.I 11 piece of land, holding a patent ioiii the j:ovrriniient for that land, no miner uotild assume that ho had a right to demand that the individual owning it should sell it for less thau a reasonable valuation or indeed Bell it at all; and tho right of ownership is not different when the title vests in a railroad corporation. What I have sought to imprcssa on the mind of tho mining community everywhere is that where lands patented to the railroad company justify prospecting, a low acri cultural valuation will bo placed upon them to as to encourage tho prosecution of a raining industry. We have not up to this time received an average of $2.50 an aero for lands upon which minerals wero suppoeed to have been discovered, and my observation hero justifies fully the conclusion that ninety-five out of every one hundred prospects explored by miners prove to be failures ; that is to say, not more than five per cent of the mining enterprise succeed, or, to state this in another form, there are not more than five paying mines in each one hundred prospects. Tho desire of the nomadic miner that the lands shall be open to exploration ; that whole regionB shall be reserved on the theory that they are mineral ; that settlement by thrifty and industrious people on such parts of them as may bp valuable for agriculture and suitable for homes should be re tarded, is wholly untenable. The theory is inconsistent with the prosperity of communities, inconsistent with the rights of the agricultural classes. But the railroad company does not resist the prospecting of its lands for mineral, and if a prospect justifying further expendi tures is found, no matter how valuable that prospect may appear, the land will bo sold at a minimum valuation. You will perceive from this that the acquire ment of title by th railroad company does not arrest the process of prospecting land for mineral. The controversy be tween the railroad company and the miners is narrowed to a very small com pass. First, but one-half of the area embraced in a railroad grant is prima facie granted, and next, ninety-five per cent of all tho land, even in the mineral region, ir obviously more valuable for agriculture than for mining. The area comprising the profitable gold mines of California, notwithstanding an ex penence approaching halt a century, is infinitcsimally small as compared with the entire acreage of the state. The con tention, if any there be, relates only to such portions of odd numbered sections as are obviously agricultural. Thus the area of land about nhich there is a con tention as to its mineral or non-mineral character is very small : and as to that portion, if the railroad company should acquire title, it will encourage the pros pecting for mineral for precious metals, and if any are found, it will part with its title at tho double minimum valua tion. Trusting this uill fully and satisfac tority answer your question, I have the honorio remain, Your obedient servant, Wm. H. Mills, Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

Gab- bert's farms rented near Myrtle Creek and so lives in the house on the farm. There was, .as part of the bonse, a' kitchen a kind of a necessary append age to every house. This kitchen like many others, was well, simply a kitchen not very valuable, but it con tained the usual quota of kitchen furni ture consisting of cooking stove, dining table and in one corner was a cupboard in which was gtored the usual supply of dishes. Near the corner of this kitchen there grew a sturdv oak. This oak was wanted for wood so Mr. Gibbons con cluded to begin the month of April by cutting down this tree and making fire wood of it. He forgot that it was "all fools" day, but the tree did not. With an arm strong anu an ax sharp, tne chips were made to fly fast nntil the force of gravitation drew the tree earth ward. As the tree waved, and tottered and fell it seemed to remember that it was the first day of April, and as a result went down upon the corner of the kitchen containing the cupboard which in turn cotainined Mr. Gibbon's dishes, and great was the fall thereof,. The tree was not very valuable, nor would it make a verv large supplv of wood. Mr. Gibbons .will have the wood, not only from the tree, but from the demolished kitchen, and he will also purchase a new supply of dishes. J. J. Webli has opened a second hand store in the old Floed bnilding at the corner of Main and Washington streets, Second hand goods of all kinds will be boucht and sold, and the patronage of the public is respectfully solicited. The Preacher Sued. Los Angeles, April 1, Judge Clark to day overuled the demurrer interposed by the Rev. J. C. Campbell in the suit charging Iiim with slandering Miss Tesa L. Kalso, tho librarian of the Los An geles public Library. The basis of the action was a prayer offered by the de fendant before his congregation in the First Methodist church, in which he said: "O, Lord ! vouch pafe Thy saving grace to the librarian of the Los Angeles city library, and cleanse her of all sin, and make her a woman worthy of her office." The reverend gentleman in his de murrer took the position that his state ment was privileged. The court held that a slander can be perpertrated in the form of a prayer as readily as in anv other form of speech, and no communi cation made by parson or priest to bis congregation is priyiliged because of snch relation, unless, perhaps, when- made in the discbarge of his pastoral duties with one subject to this discipline of the church, and then only unless made without malice. .
