Plaintiff (appellant) filed this proceeding praying for a judgment declaring that the United States is rightfully the owner of and has accepted ownership, by treaty and grant from the Republic of Mexico, of the minerals under certain lands in California ceded by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 9 Stat. 922 and that the Mineral Leasing Act of February 25, 1920, 41 Stat. 437, 30 U.S.C.A. § 182, as amended, be declared applicable to the right to develop the minerals under said grant. Plaintiff further prayed that a mandatory injunction or order be issued directing the defendant (appellee), Secretary of the Interior, and his agent or representative, to reprocess plaintiff’s application for an oil and gas lease filed pursuant to the said Mineral Leasing Act and, as of the date of said application, to grant plaintiff’s application for an oil and gas lease.
