Ems. CnIEfrAIN.-ln recent is
sue Of your paper ! noticed an ar
ticlo headed "Coal, - in which you
state that thoroycnue derived from
the mining Of coal in the Cherokee
Nation, during the past year, was
only s7G5. This statewent sur
prises me very much, as | am con-
ident that there has been coal
enough mined in Cooweescooweo
district alone and sold to citizens
Of Kansas, to have brought thous-
and dollars into the treasury of
the Nation-ifith it had been properly
attended to. 1t is evident that the
officers of the district are in fault.
They have either failed to collect
the revenue or else have collected
il, but failed to payitinto the treas
ury. | consider the coal question
a very important one, and one
our Council has sadly neglected. In
my opinion the leasing of the sur
face vein Of coal, in the northern
part of the district, should be dis
continued entirely, This could be
done very easily and surely, by
passing a law prohibiting the sale
Of coal to non-citizens. My rea-
sons for thinking this vein shonld
not be leased arc; first, the Nation
derives no revenue from the min
ing Of this coal; second, if thereye-
nue. VAS carefully collected and
honestly paid over, it would not
pay for the damage dcne the land
by prospecting for and mining this
coal; third, every bushel OF this
coal will be needed in the future by
citizens who will settle on this
land and will have to use coal for
fuel. If this coal is left where it Is
this will some day be the wealth
lest part Of the Nation, but if the
coal is removed it will be a long
time before this section is settled,
as it will be difficult matter to get
fuel. am in favor Of leasing our
deep veins, if we have any, to re-
sponsible parties, who will do an
extensive business, and pay their |
revenue honestly, but | do not be-
lieve in having thousands Of acres
Of good land ruined, and our sup
ply of fuel exhausted merely to
benefit few individuals who make
a business Of leasing and selling
