How Valuable Minnesota Lands Have
Been Coded to Corporations.


Been Ceded to Corporations.
ST PAUL, Jan. 1.-The biennial report
of state Auditor Robert G. Dunn to the
Minnesota legislature has just been given
the press and contains some startling fig
ures and recommendations drawn from a
rigid Interpretation Of the law and a care
full examination of the records Of his office,
which includes the land department The
general land department business shows
that the grants Of land to railroad compa-
MES by congress and by the state, within
the limits of the state Of Minnesota to aid
in the construction Of the 3, goo miles of
line have amounted TO over 0,000, 600
acres The total area of the state is about
AZ, COO. 600 acres A reasonable valuation
of these railroad lands iH si03, 00O 600, or
about 1872, 900 per mile. OF these lands the
companies have already received over
TO- 900, 900 acres, and under the swamp
land act from the state they have received
over $4,000, 600 additional
The auditors conclusions aud recon-
mendation regarding mineral lands, how
ever, arc most startling He recommends
that the legislature direct that action be
begun in the courts looking to the Teaov-
cry Of lands already conveyed TO the Du-
luth and Iron Range railroad, amounting
to 200. 600 acres, and that the remaining
portion, 403, 600 acres, be declared Forfeit
ed. These lands, cOnservatively valued,
are worth So, OOO 600, being located exclu-
sively in st. Louis, Lake and Cock coun-
ties, which comprise the mineral ana tim
Der portions Of the state. He then calls at
tention TO the constitutional provision that
all state lands must be sold at public auc-
tion As the timber has been considered
part of the realty it has been similarly dis
posed Of, and the state auditor now raises
the question whether the mineral is not
also part of the realty aSS should not be
disposed in like manner the Rockefellers
and the Minnesota Iron company hold 80
per cent of the mining contracts on state
lands, including the famous Oliver mino,
with its great ore deposits and these were
all secured at private sale, so that II his
contention be approved there would be a
general shaking up in mineral contracts.
