Supreme Court Awards Title of Prop

Roads Oil Held to Be Mineral,
But Time for Contesting Title Has
Expired.
WASIIINOTON. I). C., Juno 2'.V
Trniis-eoutinentiif'rnihmyM won their
fight for title "stinie'TOn.OllO.OIIO
worth of oil lands when the supreme
court today hchl- void the clause in
the patents ranking the land revert
to the government if found to contain
minerals.
Justice A'umlexiinlcr announced
the decision. The first point wnn
decided in fnvor of the government
that oil lauds were mineral lauds.
The court held Hint the patents;
xvcre irregular, but that they could
not be nttiiekcd collaterally by oth
er claimants but could only he set
aside by a direct attack by the ko
ernment. Justice Vondcvnntcr, for the court,
incidentally emphasized the claim that
the '..'ovenimcnt's time in which it
crmlil attack the patents had expired
itt'tOOO or 1001.
''Jn every cnsc before this court,"
said Justice Vnixlevitnter, "we have
held Hint where the law says that
only mineral or homestead lands urc
tu be urntcl by the land officials,
TifT ofiieials nnt-fl "ilo their duty of
nsecrtaiiiini; whether Ih'rt land'V'ifine
within the law mid tint they could
not K;rform their duty by iiisertinjr
exceptions that the land should not
puss if found Inter not to be within
the Inxv."
This xviis precisely the contention
of Hie attorneys for the railroads.
Jutiee Vmulevmiter pointed out
that all the land patents granted to
railroads since 18(10 contained 11
clause declaring' the laud should not
pass from the government if Inter it
was found to contain minerals.

"Let us see xvluit this would menu
in the cu-e of the Northern Pa
elfie," soul he. "The Northern Pa
cific got every alternate section of
laud in 11 forty-mile wide strip from
Duliith to the Pacific. Should theso
clauses be held valid, the question
would arise us to whether those who
lein: ago purchased from Hie mil
road mid created farms, ranches nml
toxvns on them, had any rights."
The company contended evidcuco
could not bo presented nt this day
lu'show that Hie lamU were mineral,
ami that the issuance of the patents
were conclusive proof they were not.
It nisi) nrgut'd that the exception xvns
void.
