Appraisins Military Reservations.

ApPraising Military Reservations
Mr.. Ell. Merritt, general appraiser OF
abandoned military reservations for the
government, came from the east Monday
and will proceed to make the appraisal
OF the abandoned Fort Lincoln reserve,
and probably that at Fort Stevenson
also. There are about $4,000 acres in
the Fort Lincoln reserve, and if the usual
custom is followed it will be appraised
in tracts, at a minimum value of $1.25
per acre. The land, after the appraisal
is approved by the department, will
probably be opened to homestead entry.
In the appraisal Of the Fort Rice reserva-
tion, the land was allowed to- be home-
steaded, upon the payment Of the sp-
praised value. This plan may be fol-
lowed in disposing of the Fort Lincoln
land.
The buildings on the land will prob
ably be appraised separately, and sold.
The government records show forty-one
buildings at the fort, but the depreda-
lions upon them have been such that
there is not nearly the original amount
of the property to be found there.

The Case Dismissed.

The hearing of Custodian Gooding of
Fort Lincoln, who was arrested on tn Q
complaint of two Russians named
Gresche, living at the Fort, charged
with selling a load of lumber from the
government buildings, occurred before
Con missioner Hoskins last evening.
The only persons who testified against
Mr.. Goodlng were the two Russians
above named, and they testified that a
load Of the lumber had been sold to one
Joseph Smith. Upon the cross-examin-
alton Of Attorney Rice, they proved
rather ~unresponsive witnesses, and it
was apparent that they were at enmity
with the custodian, and wished to get
even with him.
Joseph Smith, the person alleged to
have made the purchase, was called by
the prosecution, and testified that he
had purchased a barn and some lumber
from Mr.. Gooding, which belonged to
him personally. He had not purchased
any government lumber, and Mr.. Good
ing had pointed out a pile Of lumber be-
longing to the government buildings,
and warned him against taking any of it,
as it was government lumber. Mr..
Smith further testi fed that he did not
know of any case where government
lumber had been disposed of by the GUS
todlaD.
". B. Foltz, another settler near Fort
Lincoln, testified that at no time did he
know of the custodian ~disposing
of any government lumber. He him
self had tried to buy some of the
lumber, but Mr.. Gooding had refused
to sell it to him.
Tommy Adams, another settler, testi-
fed that he did not know of any occas-
sion when Custodian Gooding had dis
posed or attempted to dispose of any
government lumber.
Upon the completion of the testimony
for the prosecution, Attorney Tracy
Bangs said that he had not had time to
see the witnesses before the case was
brought, and had understood they would
testify differently. While he did not
wish to move dismissal of the case him
self, he had no further testimony and
closed his case.
Attorney Rice for Mr.. Gooding then
moved that the case be dismissed, and
the motion was not resisted by At
torney Bangs. It was then granted by
Commissioners Hoskins, and the case
WAS dismissed.
Mr.. Goodlng says the complaint made
by the Russians is malicious, and arises
from the fact that he has endeavored to
eject them from a government building,
which they are occupying. To get even
with him for this, they swore out the
complaint against him.

VAST Coal FIELDS.
A Trip to the Mines in Burleigh
County D~iscloses a Plentiful
Supply OF Coal.
Bids for 600 Tons tor the Capitol

sioners Today.
D.. l, Merritt, Government Appraiser,

Lincoln Reserve.
Plenty of Coal.

l.- 1904 @.~NAs VI ohbs .- EHI=.r
Secretary Dahl, Governor Allin and
Private Secretary Cochrane have return
ed from a trip through the coal mining
regions in the northern part Of the
county, and are of the opinion that for
some years to come there will lie no lack
OF a home supply Of excellent fuel.
While it is generally known that there
are liberal veins of coal iii that locality,
the magnitude of the supply was not ap-
preciated until after a trip through the
several mines.
Secretary Dahl gives an idea OF the
extent of the coal deposits by inviting
the imagination to grasp a coal field
covering about fifty square miles, aver
aging about seven feet in width of vein.
The development Of these coal fields is
a matter of comparatively recent growth,
and the industry is growing every win
ter. This year probably seven mines
will be worked, each Of a capacity 10
turn out fifteen to thirty tons a day,
provided there is a market for it. The
most Of the product Of the mines is dis
posed of in this city, but a good share of
it is sod, also, to farmers in various
parts of the county, some Of whom come
long distances for the fuel. From some
localities, trains of coal wagons may be
seen in passage TO and from the mines,
when the farmers are laying in their fall
supply. The coal is delivered to them
at their wagons, ready for loading for
80 cents a ton.
The governor and party visited several
of the mines, among them the new
Klemps mine, which has been opened up
but recently, and the entrance to which
is an inclined passage way, about $50 feet
in length. The coal in this niue is Of
an excellent quality, and contains as
large a percentage of carbon as any
Ignite III the state.
Another mine to be visited was the
Anderson mine, one of the largest and
best in the locality. The exploration of
the mine was interesting, and the extent
and quality of the deposit was in the
nature of revelation to the visitors.
The value of these deposits of coal to
the farmers of the county is consider
able, and will increase as the patronage
of those interested in their development
increases. Properly handled and devel-
opesd, the entire local coal supply should
come from these mines, which are essen
TALLY home industries.
