Supreme Court sides with Pittsburg & Midway on Navajo land dispute
The Supreme Court refused to hear the Navajo appeal in a case about 1.9 million acres in northwestern New Mexico. Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Co. had challenged Navajo Tax Commission levies after a 10th Circuit ruling found the mine outside the reservation yet within Indian country. The dispute centers on 1908 and 1911 executive orders aimed at restoring lands to the public domain, with the court letting the lower decision stand.
