1. Acquisition by the United States of land within the State of New York. The Act of New York of April 17, 1896 (Laws 1896, c. 391), and the Act of New York April 5, 1899 (Laws 1899, c. 242), as they have been respectively amended, express the consent of the legislature of the State of New York to the acquisition of land by the United States within their respective limitations. 86.

2. Same. The Act of April 5, 1899, supra, should be complied with in the matter of sites, not exceeding 2 acres in extent, for "post offices and other governmental offices" in cities or villages, as has been done in the past; and the Act of April 17, 1896, supra, should be complied with in the matter of other acquisitions of land embraced within the scope of its language. 86.

3. Application for patent to lode mining claim on Molate Island, California. The location of the mining claim by Arthur B. Riehl and Louis H. Eilkin, described herein, and covering all but a small part of Molate Island, San Francisco Bay, California, having been duly made at a time when the island was not reserved for lighthouse purposes or for any other public purposes, was a valid and effective location under the mineral land laws; and the location having been duly made and maintained, no legal basis exists for denying to the claimants a patent. 500.

4. Same. Neither Executive Order No. 4099, of November 7, 1924, which purports to reserve Molate Island "for the use of the Department of Commerce for lighthouse purposes," nor the occupation of a small portion of the island by the Department of Commerce in 1925, operated to divest the claimants of any rights in that part of the island covered by the location which had accrued prior to that time. 500.

5. Conveyance of fee to Government with reservation of subsurface rights for railroad purposes. In the proposed acquisition by the Government of certain land in New York City for a post-office site, the real ownership of which is now in the Pennsylvania Railroad & Tunnel Company, though the record title is in the name of a subsidiary corporation, held, upon the assumptions herein made, that the corporation which now owns the property has the power to convey the fee, reserving to the railroad company the use of the subsurface for the operation of its railroad and for station purposes, to any person or corporation or to the Government, and that such a conveyance need not limit the use of the property to railroad purposes. 240.
