RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.
State Auditor of Minnesota Presents
Startling Figures and
RcconImendntIons

Recommendations.
ST. Paul. Mimi, Jan. 3.-The biennial re-
port of State Auditor Robert c. Dunn to
the Minnesota Legislature was given TO
the press tonight and contains some
startling figures and recommendations,
drawn from a rigid Interpretation of the
law and a careful examination of the rec
ords of his office, which includes the land
/ department. The general land department
business shows the grants of land to rail-
road companies by congress and by the
state, within the limits of the state of
Minnesota, to aid in the construction of
the 500 miles of line, have amounted to
over 20,O00 600 acres. The total acreage of
ths state is about 100000 acres. A reas-
enable valuation of these railroad lands
Is 100000, or about So 900 per mile. OF
these lands the companies have already
received over 100000 acres and under the
swamp land act they have received from
the state over 100000 additional.
The auditors conclusions and recommen-
dations regarding mineral lands are most
startling. He recommends that the legis-
iature direct that action be begun in the
courts looking 10 the recovery of lands
already conveyed TO the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad. amounting to 100000 acres,
and that the remaining portion, 403, $50
acres, be declared forfeited. These lands,
conservativeIy valued. are worth 81 coo, 900,
being located exclusively in st. Louis, Lake
and Cook counties, which comprise the
mineral and timber portions of the state.
He then calls attention to the constitu-
tiOnal provision that all state lands must
be sold at public auction. AS the timber
has been considered part of the realty, it
has been similarly disposed Of and the
auditor now raises the question whether
the mineral Is not also a part of the
realty and should therefore be disposed of
in like manner. The RockefeIIers and the
Minnesota Iron Company hold 80 per cent
of the mining contracts ON state lands,
including the famous Oliver mine, with its
great ore depOsits-and these were all Sc
cured at private sale, so that if his con-
tention be approved, there would be a gem
eral shaking up in mineral contracts.
He calls particular attention TO the or
iginal grant made TO the Little Falls rail-
way and now owned by the Northern Pa
cific, consisting of 100000 acres. The line
was only built to Morris. altogether eighty
seven and one-half miles, and the auditor
holds that the grant does not attach TO
the twenty-five and one-half miles from
that to the state line making difference
of 10000 acres in the grant. As the com
pany has already received 100000 acres,
" hich is in excess of what it earned,
the legislature is asked to take proper
action to recover these lands, which are
valued at not less than s. per acre.
