Deputy Nurveyor Prowling Around Ihe Trnrt — Siiigtilnr Proceedings Iti Weil. •tratton'S Ollieo. From the 8. F. Chronicle, Everybody supposed that the once projected land swindle of tlie Los Pri etos y Najalyegua, or Jose Dominguez grant, near Santa Barbara, which a party of unprincipled land-speculators trietl to force through Congress and the Land Office a few years ago, was dead and buried; hut there are indica tions that the snake was only scotched and that the swindle is again to lift its head. In this business there are certain manipulations by the United States Surveyor-General's otlice which Gen. Stratto'n must not lose time in rising to explain. As they stand now they have an ugly look, and do not re dound to the credit of an office which, to say the least, is not exactly like Cteaar's wife, nor has been. THK HISTORY OF THK CASE. Jose Dominguez was an old native Oalifornian, who was horn in the last century near what is now known as Santa Barbara. In 1845, he being then quite an old man, petitioned Pio Pico, the Mexican Governor, for a grant of lands near Santa Barbara, under the Mexican colonization laws of 1524. A few months afterward the grant was made, subject to several conditions, which the old man par tially fulfilled, the change of Govern ment from Mexican to United States, having, it is supposed, interfered with them. One of these unfulfilled con ditions was that the land should be accurately surveyed and the number of square leagues it contained sent to the City of Mexico, that a patent might issue. Nothing further was done upon the grant until 1856, eleven years after. Meantime, old Jose Do minguez's cattle and horses ran wild over it, though the exact limits were never defined. " CHEAP AS DIRT." On the 17th of April, 185G, Domin guez, who was an ignorant man, un able to read or write even In his own language, sold out his entire interest in the grant for one dollar. Why he should have done this is not apparent, unless it was that he was led to be lieve by certain interested parties thai the grant was utterly valueless and liable to ruin him in the way of taxa tion. At any rate he sold it, and his interest in the grant ceased for ever. Thomas Cevasco was the pur chaser. He, in turn, sold the claim to another native, a few months after wards for a like consideration —one dollar. By this time, however, a few Yankees had began to get into that section, and to their shrewd wits it soon became apparent that the grant was worth something. A man named Charles E. Huse bought it of the last owner on December 1, 1864, for $100, and he, in turn, conveyed it to the railway king of Pennsylvania, Thos. A. Scott, and others, in the March following lor the consideration of $1,000. PULLING THE FIRST WIRE. And now the cause of the great rise in what was always considered a worthless grant looked out. The land was supposed to lie to the north of Santa Barbara, northward of the range of mountains by that name, but south of the San Rafael moun tains. It was worthless except for grazing, but tho speculators cared nothing for that. As there never had been any survey of it, they hoped so to re-locate its lines as to bring it within a valuable arable section, withou ref erence to whose interests it might in fringe. The first thing to be done was to have tne old Mexican grant confirmed by the United States Gov ernment. On the oth of March, 1806, Senator Conness presented to the United States Senate a memorial, or what purported to bo such, from Do minguez, praying that he be confirmed in the old grant. The memoralist showed that he was seventy years of age; that he was born on the land, and had always lived upon it; that his father and mother resided here for more than sixty years up to the time •of their death, leaving children, grandchildren, and great-grandcl.il dren, who still reside here, and have no other home; that he did not sub mit his grant to the Land Commis sioner of the United States appointed by Act of Congress in the year 1851, for the reason that he was not aware of the existence of that Commission, h'3 being an obscure and humble in dividual, and wholly ignorant of the English language; and if he had known of its existence, he was too poor to pay the high fees which were at that time charged by attorneys in California. He confidently relied up on the title given him by the Mexican Government as good and valid,and was told it would be upheld by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, made between the United States and Mexico; but was informed that his title ought to be submitted to tbe authorities of the United States for recognition, where upon he prayed that he might be per mitted to prove title, etc., etc. CARRYING THE FIRST OUTPOST. This appeal so touchingly made by Los Angeles Daily Herald. tbe old Mexican had its effect. Sena* torConness Introduced a bill, and the same day.lt was passed, directing tho Surveyor-General to proceed ami sur vey tbe hinds In accordance with the original title papers on file in his 01 --fice. Tlie hill thus confirmed the grant to Dominguez o/jr7 hit assign* forever. The matter hung fire in the House, and there was an evident dis inclination to hack up what the Sen ate had done. To reassure the doubt ing minds Levi Parsons sat down and wrote a pathetic letter to a member, of which the following is an extract: a GRAPE-VINE appeal. S , * t • * I was 111 the county of Santa Barbara last September, and visited the raneho in Ques tion, as a matter of curiosity, to see a large grape-vine growing on it, and said tube the second largest in the world. I measured it myself, and found it covered a superficial area Of over S.Oiio feet. This -dottle vine la about the sole product ofthe entire raneho, tlie lands being very hilly and leml-moun lalnons in their character. I found the mother oi tie petitioner and the entire family Of chil dren, grand-children and gieal griind-chil dren, most of them lying idly under this cele brated Vine, the sals of grapes Irom it being about their only support; last year the pro duct ol this single vino being about six tons of gfttpes, as they told me, The old lady dli 11 laal Pall upon the property, at the age of 109 years, she ami her husband having lived un disturbed on this properly for upward of sixty years. The vine was planted by the old lady some fifty years ago. I found Die family very poor and enjoying the respect of all parties ih the county. 1 visited the tamily in Company with Mr. Sparks, an American, who had lived In tlie county since 1H;I2. He verified the correctness of nil the statements of the fam ily, anil fiom What lsaw myself and what was told me by very respectable citizens of tlie county I have no doubt ofthe truthfulness of all of the statements of JoseDomlngues In his petition, in my judgment, tbereeannot be presented a ease Calling more for lhe equi table Interposition of the Government to pro lect the grant of the former Government to the family than this, and I earnestly ask that you will examine tlie papers and make an effort in their behalf. Lkvl Parsons. THE BILL BECOMES A LAW. Upon the strength of this and other representations, the House of Repre sentatives passed the Senate bill, and on the 12th of June, 1886, it became a law. The next thing to he done was to have the tract surveyed. Upson was then Surveyor-General. On the 25th of April, 1867, he sent George H. Thompson, a deputy surveyor, for the survey of the Dominguez claim. What was accomplished is best explained by an extract from his report, dated September 18, 1868. He says: I furnished Mr. Thompson with a traced copy of the original papers on file In the Mex ican archives, as his guide in executing said survey. Deputy Thompson reported that the calls were so uncertain and vague that lie found it difficult to make a survey. The grantees of the claim, through their at torney, E. J. Pringle, then offered to prove Ju dicial possession by affidavits covering the ex tent of Ihe present survey; but I declined to receive any evidence except that mentioned in the Act of Congress as govern ing in v action in I he matter. They then requested lliat a survey should be made according to their views and at their own risk. In order to bring the matter before this office for examination, 1 so instructed t he deputy. Mr. Thompson returned a survey comprising an etxentof 208,721 33-1000 acres, as the tract claimed by the grantees of Domin guez under saio Act of Congress. The location and area of this survey did not meet my views as to tlie construction of said Act, for t he following reasons: 1. The original evidence of title shows Mint the grant was one under the colonization laws of Mexico, and could not therefore exceed the quantity of eleven square leagues. -. The extent of said tract under said title, as far as I am able tojudtre, was simply a long narrow valley, situate between two ranges of mountains, and bounded by the Arroyo de la Carpentaria In the east, and the Paraje de los Prietos in the west, and about three leagues In extent, according to the scale on the map. L. Upson, IT, s. Surveyor-General, This survey, made at the instance of the claimants, it will be seen, took in over 208,000 acres, nearly ten times a* much as poor old Dominguez ever thought of asking the Mexican Gov ernment for; and not only this, but changed its location so as to take In some of the choicest improved lands on th" outskirts of Santa Barbara.
