A bill has just bee Con- | 8ress extending the operation of the m | eral laws to saline lands and providi the method by which they may be pate ed. The bill awaits the signature of t President. | Pending this_act, George Dufbrow | the Standard Salt Company is said have gone to Salton with a force of men and squatted upon the land hitherto worked by the Liverpool company, with a | view of claiming it as soon as the Presi- dent has signed the saline bll.
