This record group contains materials created and collected by the Board of Commissioners to Quiet Land Titles, the Minister of the Interior, the Board of Commissioners of Crown Lands, the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, the Commissioner of Public Lands, the Board of Land and Natural Resources, and the Land Management Division of the Departmentof Land and Natural Resources. The records are organized in two subgroups: Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Land Management Division.

Submittals dated prior to 1960 were not transferredto the State Archives. The BLNR Submittals were processed sometime in the late 19701s or early 1980's. Informationalcopies of minutes were removed fromsubmittal foldersdated 1960 to 1978, presumably to lessen the volume of records. Preservation processing of the minutes and submittals in 1995 consisted of housing bound minutes in acid freecontainers, removing metal clasps, prongs, rubberbands, and refolderingsubmittals fromacidic manila foldersto alkaline enclosures. -3· DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES Land Management Division The records of the Land Management Division consist of the Mahele Book, the records of the Board of Commissioners to Quiet Land Titles, and the correspondence of the Commissioner of Public Lands.

In 1804, in the introductory volume of his five-volume series entitled The Life of George Washington, Marshall sought to place Washington’s life in con- text by presenting a lengthy narrative “of the principal events preceding our revolutionary war.”1 Almost twenty years later, when crafting the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Johnson v. McIntosh,2 Marshall relied heavily on his history of America “from its discovery to the present day” in order to proclaim “the universal rec- ognition” of two legal principles: (1) that European discovery of lands in America “gave exclusive title to those who made it”; and (2) that ∗ Professor of Law, University of Dayton School of Law.

  • General Land Office Book
    FORWARD n 1812, the General Land Office or GLO was established as a federal agency within the Department of the Treasury. The GLO’s primary responsibility was to oversee the survey and sale of lands deemed by the newly formed United States as “public domain” lands. The GLO was eventually transferred to the Department of Interior in 1849 where it would remain for the next ninety-seven years. The GLO is an integral piece in the mosaic of Oregon’s history. In 1843, as the GLO entered its third decade of existence, new sett lers and immigrants had begun arriving in increasing numbers in the Oregon territory. By 1850, Oregon’s European- American population numbered over 13,000 individuals. While the majority resided in the Willamette Valley, miners from California had begun swarming northward to stake and mine gold and silver claims on streams and mountain sides in southwest Oregon. Statehood would not come for another nine years. Clearing, tilling and farming lands in the valleys and foothills and having established a territorial government, the settlers’ presumed that the United States’ federal government would act in their behalf and recognize their preemptive claims. Of paramount importance, the sett lers’ claims rested on the federal government’s abilities to negotiate future treaties with Indian tribes and to obtain cessions of land—the very lands their new homes, barns and fields were now located on. In 1850, Congress passed an “Act to Create the office of the Surveyor-General of the public lands in Oregon, and to provide for the survey and to make donations to settlers of the said public lands.” On May 5, 1851, John B.

  • Does the Federal Government Own
    TOJCI.DORAN.DOC 5/25/2012 2:59 PM DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWN THE PORE SPACE UNDER PRIVATE LANDS IN THE WEST? IMPLICATIONS OF THE STOCK-RAISING HOMESTEAD ACT OF 1916 FOR GEOLOGIC STORAGE OF CARBON DIOXIDE BY KEVIN L. DORAN* AND ANGELA M. CIFOR** This Article establishes that pursuant to the mineral reservation contained in the Stock-Raising Homestead Act of 1916 (SRHA), as well as U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence that has further defined the scope of that reservation, the federal government likely holds title to some 70 million acres of subsurface pore space located under private land in the West. In addressing the issue of pore space ownership, scholars and regulators have focused on the question of who owns the pore space when the mineral estate has been severed from the surface estate. This approach, however, overlooks the critical fact that for the approximately 70 million acres of land patented under the SRHA, the United States government held the original fee simple absolute, and conveyed the land while retaining “all the coal and other minerals in the lands.” In 1983 in Watt v. Western Nuclear, Inc., the Supreme Court delineated a four-part test for determining if something falls within the scope of the SRHA’s mineral reservation—a test that was further explicated by the Court’s decision in 2004 in BedRoc Limited, Inc. v. United States. This Article analyzes this jurisprudence vis-à-vis the question of whether or not pore space falls within the scope of the SRHA’s mineral reservation. Based on a detailed analysis of the history of the SRHA and relevant jurisprudence by the Supreme Court and other federal and state courts, we conclude that the federal government likely owns the pore space for those lands patented under the SRHA.
