suit of this contest will be surprise to

partly based on information, are appa-
rently satisfactory.
Mr.. Pearson prefers to wait. it IS I'M
derstood. until some other cases are re-
ported before having his own tried by
the Elections Committee. This would
seem to indicate doubt as to the strength
of his case.

Iron and Steel company. 1t is located
about five or six miles south of Cordova
and it contains the Pratt or America
seams.
"The average is about one ton of coal
under every square yard of land, and there
fore there are about 5000 to 5000 tons of
coal in each seam under each acre of the
property If there is only one seam, then
the figures above given can be used, and
when two seams are on the property it can
be figured at double the amount named.
1.-THE university has leased out some of
its property, notably that in Bibb county
al Hargrove, where Mr. T. II. Aldrich and
others are operating mines. Then just be-
low that more of the university properly
has been LEASED Ito Mr.. Baird, and will
shortly be developed. Mr.. Aldrich pays a
royalty on the coal mined at from to
cents per ton. He pays something like from
"a 600 to So, 900 per year Mr.. Baird will in
time be paying the same amount.
1.-THE coal on the Walker county property
is probably better than the Bfbb county
coal. At any event, it is just as good, and
l do not believe that it would have been an
impossibility to have leased it under the
same terms as was the Bibb county prop
erty. l heard that efforts had been made TO
purchase the Walker county property for
some time, but believed the resolution that
no more property would be sold would be
adhered to.
IF the S,4OO acres of land in Walker coun-
ty had been leased at the same ratio as
the Bfbb county property was, 1t would
have amounted to about $50 to $500 per
acre before all the coal was mined out
This would mean something like half
million dollars. The sale just made will net
the university something like $4,000 to $780,
co., I don't think there would have been
any trouble in leasing the property, or at
least a part of it,
