 WASHINGTON, July Considerable comment Was OccssiOned here yesterday
 by the announcement that a scheme for
 fraudulen;ly obtaining S5OO,OO0 from the
 government annually had been stopped
 by Commissioner Sparks, who has re-
 fused to approve surveying contracts
 that have been sent Oui by the surveyor
 general. It appears that some years ago
 congress established the individual de-
 pOsit system" by which settlers could
 secure surveys by depositIng the esti
 mated cost of the survey, for which they
 would receive certificates that could be
 used as money in payments on lands. It
 IS alleged that by collision the survey
 ing contracts were let tO organized rings:
 fictitious applications for surveys would
 be presented, the required deposit would
 be furnished by the ring, and the profits
 on such contracts shared among thS op-
 orators. Commissioner Sparks has ls-
 sued orders revOklng the former instruc-
 tons and reforming official practices
 under the survey deposit system.
