The letter is official and will prove of general in-terest to all who are engaged in the natural K6 deL'lopnu nt near this city. Department of the Interior, j HE'S ERAL LaNI) OfFH U, Wamhsi.tun, D.

Yon ftttto that recently natural gas ha been discovered within desert lands in your t, and you request to be advised a? to whetht r tho tracts of land in whirl, these dteceWftt LmM been noule, ran be entered under the tfaffed State mineral land laws. I am unable to refer yon to any cases before this department or office in which this jtMtlon hi.a bean decided. In a recent letter, however, I expressed the Opinion that natund gat t not a mineral ot mdi tani'iMe ii'Tinain as to render a tract of land Irom which it can bo obtained subject to under the mineral land lawe. ' I am stm of this opinion, and von are therefore instructed not to allow mineral entries of such trai ts. Very Respectfully, Tune. II. carter, Commissioner. Another tins strike. The, big ten-Inc- h well of the American Natural (las company struck a line How of the magic, lluid last evening at a depth of 000 fret. The new well is a quarter of a Kile east 0! the original well. The pressue.r It is claimed to be nearly double that of the old well. It is between the Union Pacific and Rio Grand Western tracks aud opens up considerate new gas territory. Mr. Fred Trimmer's suggestion in regard to a law being passed to compel people who have abandoned "dry wells or wells where pressure is not enough to pay, is a good one. It is a very simple thing to plug a mil, and in that way the surface water is kept out of the gas bearing strata. In Penn-sylvania there has been such a law in force for a number of years. The Tnwiisite Case. The Eureka lownsite case is still on. T. i). Sullivan was on the stand this morning, Mr. Baird examining him: "Mr. Sullivan, will you this morning an-swer my request that two experts may be admitted to your Wolfe Tone shaft for the purpose of making an examination, with a Tiew of giving testimony in this case?" ' "I will state that 1 have consulted my counsel and he deliues to allow auy exami-nation." "Did you ever offer to sell any lots or par-cels of land within the Wolfe Tone, Robert E. Lee or Little Chief claims, in which sales were not made V" "No, sir; I did not at any time." "What improvements have you upon the Wolfe Tone claim other than those you have testified to In thi" ease:'" "Outside of the mining improvements V" "Yes; 1 have three bouses." J "What use do you make of these houses?" "1 use one as a dwelling house." "Are they not rented at least, 6ome of tliein I" "Yes." "What revenue do you derive from the renting of those houses':" "Light dollars a month for one, $10 for the other." "1 wish you would tell me what you mean by mineral workings in connection with your claim?" Ih.' my I understand it, there is a shaft there UK) feet deep, ixtl, Umbered, and sunk to that depth." -- "' 'Then ay mineral workings you simply meatt the work that you bare done on your claim in sinking a shaft?" "I will slate that if Mr. Davis wants to know whether it is porphy or lime, I will tell him the difference." "Would the sinking of a shaft through porphyry and lime be mineral " workings':" I hey may be mineral in character." Then followed iiiite a number of ques. tions. In regard to testimony given before that was not of special interest. Protestants rest. The protestants have taken twelve days for this testimony. The Townsite appli-cants expect to gel through In about ten days. Then there w ill be several d ivs of rebutal testimony and then the ease will be taken in hand by the register and receiver. It will make about IbfKl pages of type writ-ten manuscript. RafagdlDg Hesert Kllte-ries- .

He Reviews at Length the Measures Now Kefore Congress. A friend of Hon. J. II. McRridc hnving addressed a letter to him at Hoise, Idaho, asking his opinion of the C'aincLaulkner and Teller bills, received the following in reply. Omitting the introductory part of the letter Judge MeBride says: "My opinion is that the Faulkner bill is a very objectionable measure for many It reverses the entire theory of congressional legislation for 1'tah for the lust lifteen years, and assumes a condition of things, as the reason for such a change, without sufficient experience to jussify it. Since tne passage of the got of 1874, which put it into the power of the courts to en-force laws, which was absolutely necessary to enable them to perform ilicir functions, congress ha6 constantly restricted the local authorities in U tah by frequent and neces-sary legislative acts. It repealed the woman suffrage law, enacted the statute providing for the Utah commission to supervise elec-tions, made all the judges and qffleera of the courts appointive, aud the judges and super-visors of elections also; limited the author-ity of the legislature in many ways; all for the purpose of protecting the minority and preventing encroachments on the part of ecclesiastical authority on the rights of the people. "No one conversant with the condition of affairs in LTtah during all the time tin- - leg lslatlon was had, disputes its necessity, ex-cept those who were then determined to re-sist all legislation that interfered with church rule. "These laws have vindicated their wisdom by their results. They have overthrown polygamy, they have eompullcd the church authorities to disavow and abandon all altciuptf to con-trol the political rights of its followers, and have secured an honcrst and fair administra-tion of the election law, This triumph howevr, lias only been re-cent. Reforms which cone as a result of modifying the entire system of governm-n-t- a) rule do not mature iu a day. The princi-ples lying at the bottom of such reforms may he conceded, but the pf aetlcal appliea-eatio- n of them is always slow. So that while we have the principle which was vin-dicated by this legislation fully conceded, the practice which it was Intended to re-verse will still be affected by the old habits of the people for a considerable time. The old custom of having the bishop of a mOrmon ward advise the people now to vole as a part of his duty, may no longer exist, but the habit of his flock to take his advice, will still give him control ill political affairs, when he is disposed to exercise it. To as-sume that a reformation has been wrought that is sufficiently radical to justify bwer-in- g that all the evils and dangers of church rule have become obsolute, is to admit the improbable, if not the impossible. Lime must be given to permit the masses to learu their rtcfita anil how to exercise them. The Faulkner bill takes lor trranteil that a declaration of principle alone will take the place of this education by practice. It assumes that the people of Utah not only acted in eu-- t inly good faith (which many honestly doubt ) in renouncing polygamy and church rule, but they are well prepared to exercise with discretion and prudence all the powers of local government which have been taken from tliein because of their having abused than in the past. This I regard as unwise and premature. No abuses are charged as haying resulted from the present manner of governing the territory. On the contrary it was never more prosperous or progressive that it now is. In all respects the government is satis-factory, aud the community more harmon-ious than ever before. While I admit that the old order of things is passing away, and there are many reasons to believe that in the near future harmony will prevail among all classes in I'. ah. II would be an unsafe and unwise experiment to invite, those who have always been distrusted, to the exercise of power w hich might at once he perverted as they have been before. It Is impolitic and unnecessary. No territory ever had conferred upon it the extensive local authority which the Faulk-ner bill grants. It is the more remarkable that such a measure should be granted, w hen experience has conioollcd the govern-ment to legislate always in the opposite di-rection for L'tah. It is not only the opposite point of view from what congress hns acted heretofore; it goes further than congress has ever done in any other instance for any ter-ritory. The experiment will put at hazard all that has been gained, and is well and properly criticised as an effort to legislate iu such manner as to herd the mormon people into the democratic party. This is its evident purpose by its movers. I am in favor of organizing political par-tlo- a in Utah on national party lines, but this movement to make the democratic party champion the mormon people as a means of getting votes, is a shallow trick, premature, dangerous anil demagogical. The bill to admit L' tali as a stale is liable to ths same objections. It is only another attempt on the jiart of some repuidicans to outbid tho democrats in order to get the mormon vote. am distinctly Opposed lo both measures. 1 am in fnvor of wailing until the new order of things in l'tah is not only recognized but estabiishen : until all honest and fair men are satisfied that harmony among her popu-lation has become a fai t, and until they can all work together for the common good. Then we can properly crown the highest lands of the American union with the glory of statehood, and Utah redeemed from the follies of the past, stand like a beautiful maiden, an admired and worthy member of the grand sisterhood of statca. In regard to these efforls by both parties to make partisan eapilal on cither side, di serv-ing of rebuke and condemnation. It will serve to keep up the old contest by local or-ganizations, which both parties ought to discourage, and is in my opinion a political blunder hording on a crime."
