POSES A5 K MINER MAIL ORDER 10 GOVER GRAB. 500,000 Acres of Timber the Richest Placer That Yard Possesses FEDER AL - INQUIR\ | HEN the members of the Gov-| ernment commission that is| about to visit this State be- | gin to inquire whether H. H. | Yard and others have used the law re- lating to placer locations to get pos- sesslon of vast tracts of timber land it California, and reflect that the charge: in this direction all proceed from the State Mineralogist, they may be sur prised to learn that Yard is a membe: | of the executive committee of the Cali-{ fornia State Miners' Association, an or- ganization that was formed to protect | the interests of mining men. | This may seem all the more strange | to the official investigators when the) "nar from the State Mineralogist that Yard, in common with other operator: in the California fleld, has lapped loca tions, sometime in his California ce reer, over those of miners who havc been in quiet possession of mineralize: lands for years, and that the lands ar« still held by Yard, despite the miners protests. A. Tregidge, president of the Califor- nia Miners' Association, Is authority for the statement that Yard is an ex utive committeeman in that body. T official headquarters of the associat In this city have been removed to the building on Sutter streat in which Yarc as his offices. In that, his position is ch that in itself it ought to protect him against the imputation of working against the interests of California | miners. Yet that he is so working is ! n allegation that the State Mineral oglst has made repeatedly and has em- | bodied in official reports. | CONTROVERSY WAXES WARM. The situation follows in the traln of a controversy so hot that it has bee: | the subject of discussion by California rs and Callfornia politicians fo r years. A human interest story s ound not obscurely in the details. In 1902 Aubury, the State Mineral gist, and the Sacramento Valley De elopment Association asked the au orities at Washington to set aside large tracts of land in certain counties of Celifornia as temporary forest re | serves on the ground that timber grab bers would obtain possession of them this course was not taken. In flf time the great agglpg’no 0! acres was converted by Butte and Plumas counties alone. | The struggle first took on an intensc form before the California miners con- ntion four years ago, when a hot occurred in committee over a pre- le and resolution that ran in par lows: | sued orders withdrawing from settle- ment, entry, sale or other disposal un- der the public land laws certain lands within certain designated areas within the counties of Plumas, Lassen, Shasta Siskiyou and Tehama, and des- Peak Reservation, Klamath rvation, Mount Shasta Reservation ond Mountain Reservation, pending an inv gation of the advisability of making said re- | serves permanent; and “Whereas, This association has main- tained a broad position favoring the conservation and preservation of for- ests and streams, yet it believes that to | permanently establish the proposed | reservations would most seriously af- { fect the future prosperity and indus- trial activity of - the said counties named without any compensating ben- efit, either locally or to the State at large, as the creation of sald reserves would accomplish the object sought only to a limited extent, if at all, as by far the greater portion of the water- | shed affected does not influence either | agriculture or navigation.” PAVED WAY FOR GRABBERS. These words, so Aubury contended hotly before a committee, were intend- |ed to make it easy for Yard, T. B. Walker, Curtis, Collins and Holbrook, the Diamond Match Company and others to get hold of the millions of acres that were in temporary reserves; and the averment was made that, as miners, the convention had no interest in promoting the interests of timber grabbers, inasmuch as the miners were | CAPTAIN MARTIN TO ADDRESS Surplus Stock Sale During Store_slterations, a large shipment of stock ordered by usmade 2 surplus To relieve the conges Will Explain Ante-Nuptial Contrac Law Which He Intends to Present to the Next Legislature.

It will alSo be alleged as a | singular coincidence that no land ha | been taken as placers that is not tim bered, and the further allegation wil be made that all the locators are really | after is the timber, which 1is very valuable, and that the placer locations entry are unavalling to break into a forest reserve. When fornia Miners’ Association of 1802 was in session in this city the greatest In- | terest centered in the land grab issue. T. B. Walker was present in person. Yard was also there. Curtis, Collins and Holbrook were represented. was the Diamond Match Company. Walker went before the committee to which the matter was referred in the first instance. Aubury, who was then, as now, fighting the land grabbers, took up the cudgels in committee, cross-questioned Walker and extracted from him the admission that he had taken up 1,000,000 acres in various parts of the Btate. “Can you name any improvements you have made on this land?” askeg Aubury. “I cannot,” was Walker's answer. Questioned further by Aubury, Wal- ker stated that he was securing the land to provide an estate for his chil- dren. The handing over of a large share of the best timber land in Cali- fornia to one person to enrich one family did not appeal to Aubury very strongly as a matter of public policy. SOME QUEER ADMISSIONS. Yard in his business activities, ac- cording to his own story, has a dual character, one of which seems to be the finite intelligence to comfilct with the other. Thus he is a “placer miner” by reason of his mining locations, and he is also a producer of timber and stone because of entries made under the timber and stone act and which overlap or cover in many instances these very placer claims. “Yes, it 18 true,” he says, “that I have made placer locations within the tem- porary reserves set apart by the order of the Secretary of the Interfor dated October 15, 1903, and I have been jus- tified In doing =0 by reason of the character of the land located wupon. These locations are distinctly mineral. They are capped with lava and have auriferous gravels within their boun- daries. Moreover, my right is pro- tected and strengthened by filings un- der the timber and stone acts. These latter filings in som® Instances cover or overlap the mineral lochtions.” Now, it is the opinion of the most enlightened mining lawyers that two such filings contradicted. The first sets up that the land is mineral. The timber and stone act procedure, under the rules of the Gen- eral Land Office of the United States, requires the person filing the timber and stone claim to take oath that there 13 no mineral on the land and none within six mlles of it. This peculiar siiuation leaves the pecple of the State in suspense as to whether Yard is a miner only for the purpose of filing on timber lands. In any event, he is a member of the ex- ecutlve committee of the California Miners’ Assoclation, while, as a prac- tical miner, he is #£till an unknown | quantity. This is something for the men of science connected with the Government commission of Investigators to ponder over next month, when they begin to consider whether miners or timber grabbers are taking up California tim- ber lands by the square mile, some- times at the rate of ten square miles in a day. —_— Evangelists Will Continue Services.
