This document discusses an administrative law case regarding mining claims. A group located 170 mining claims in 1933-1934 in the Cordillera Mountains. In 1969, the mining rights were transferred to petitioner Biak-na-Bato Mining Co., which then filed for a lease order survey. The Bureau of Mines refused due to alleged conflicts with claims owned by two other companies. Biak-na-Bato then protested those other companies' claims. An inspection was conducted and a report submitted, but the case was not resolved. The issues involved determining valid mining claim ownership and the jurisdiction to resolve the disputes.
