THE MINERAL LANDS.
Letter from Wm. H. Mills
; I of the S. P. Co.
TO BE SOLD AT $2.50 AN ACRE.
'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

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,

Kitchen Demolished.
Lewis Gibbons has one of F. M. 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.

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
