Minnesota Auditors Recommendations.
ST. Paul, Jan. 1.-THE biennial report
of State Auditor Robert c. Dunn to the
Minnesota legislature has been given to
the press, and gives some startling fig
ures and recommendations drawn fror,
a rigid interpI citation OF the law and !.
careful examination OF the records of mis-
office, which includes the law depart.
mcnt. The auditors conclusions END
recommendation regarding mineral
lands, however, are most startling. He
recommends that the legislature direct
that action be begun in the courts look
ing to the recovery of lands already con-
veyed to the Duluth and Iron Range rail-
road, amounting to 10000 acres. and
that the remaining portion. 403. 900 acres,
be declared forfeited. These lands. con-
servauvely valued, are worth $4,000. .00o.
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
constitutional 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 dis
posed of, and the state auditor now
raises the question whether the mineral
is not also a part of the realty, and
should not be disposed in like manner.
The Rockefellers and the Minnesota
Iron company hold 30 per cent of the
mining contracts on state lands, includ-
ing the famous Oliver mine, with its
great ore deposits, and these were all
secured at private sale. so that if his
contention be approved there would be
a general shaking up in mineral con-
tracts.
