Surveys Of Desirable Government
Land i'm WashinxtOn Completed.

TIE work Of surveying fractional town
ships and thus opening ny the government
land for settlement, is being rapidly pushed
by the surveyor general and his assistants
throughout Washington. There are many
townships, comprising some of the hes, ag
ricultura mining timber lands in the
state, that are owned In part by the gov
ernfneEt and in part by railroads Some
years ago certain land grants made TO
Eastern railroads bad TO he Cancelled by
the government. ana In lieu OF the lands
thus taken the railroads were allowed to
select a certain amount Of land in odd see
lions In Idaho Montana and Washington,
the remainder of the land in the town
ships where railroads selected lands re-
manning In the hands of tina government
As is well known. railroads seldom select
worthless land as their reservation II they
can help it, and hence the fractional sur
yeys being made by the government
are opening up valuable properties for set
ilement.
On yesterday there was flied IL the land
office this city, plats of township z. north
range 10 east. and township q north range

of the townships named owned by the gov

surveys amounts 10 about t2eo acres all
of which viii ne open for entry on April

party of five Philadelphia and New
York newspapermen were aboard the
train.
The Buffalo flyer did not make as
good time as it did last Sunday, when
it made the trip in eight hours and
nine minutes. including a delay at
Washington Of forty-fvc minutes
caused by a hot box. Yesterday the
run was made in eight hours and four
teen minutes, which. counting the de-
lay Of last Sunday of forty five min
utes. is twenty-nine minutes slower
than week ago.
The train left Hoboken at 33l
O'Clock. fifteen minutes late. 1t reached
Washington at Asa o'clock, Scranton
at 654. on time.
Binghamton was reached at sos and

Stag Is Valuable.

Jacob Reese. of Philadelphia, has
commenced operations. after a long
idleness, at his phosphate mill at the
steel works of the Pottstown Iron
company. The mill is working day and
night.
Mr.. Reese has discovered that the
Stag which is left after the manufac-
ture of steel from the basic Bessemer
process can be used for making phos-
phate Until the discovery Of Mr..
Reese the Stag, which is rich in phos
phoric acid, was considered useless.
He is now rapidly transforming a huge
pile of it into phosphate.
The change in the schedule of rir-
ming trains on the northern division Of
the Lackawanna road went into effect
Saturday. ad as a result the Scranton
division has for its western terminal
point Elm!ra instead of Binghamtun.
