I in a water adjudication proceeding there. As you will recall, Judge Luby held that he did have jurisdiction over the united states under the provisions of what is known as the McCarran Amendment. The United States then applied to the state Supreme Court for Writ of prohibition to prohibit the state district judge from going ahead. The state Supreme Court held that the state court did have jurisdiction, so the united States applied to the united States Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari. I can report, because I read it in the paper not because I have heard officially, that the united States was granted certiorari and therefore the United States Supreme Court will consider the question of whether or not the state court of Colorado has jurisdiction over the United states in state water adjudication matters. The brief of the United states was'primarily toward the question of adjudicating reserved rights. The United States in the Eagle County case has a number of rights whioh it has acquired from people who in turn have acquired them under state law. Al- though their appeal is broad enough to cover all kinds of rights, I have the feeling they are primarily concerned about the right of the state court to adjudicate reserved rights. Of course, it is the reservation question that concerns us because it is unknown. We don't know the quantity involved. I I might add that the State of New Mexico is seriously considering applying for leave to get into the United States Supreme Court case as a friend of the court because it is now in- volved in a water adjudication on the pojoaque River involving federal lands and the same questions are involved there. What the Supreme Court will do when it hears the matter on its merits I cannot tell you, but the Supreme Court has accepted jurisdiction and now will hear the case. I think that is all I have, Mr. Chairman, unless there are some questions."
