INVESTIGATING COAL LAl
LEASES.

The state land board, at the in
stigation of Governor Thomas, will
investigate the coal land leases
made by previous boards with the
purpose in view of declaring any
forfeited that do not appear to be
strictly legal, or which have been
forfeited by reason of the failure
of the lessees to comply with the
terms of the contracts. One case
in particular will be given a thor
ough airing. The Denver Times
says that in February, 1881, a sec
tion of land in Fremont county
was leased for a term of thirty
years to w. w. Carson and others.
In Decem Der, 1896, the lease was
extended by the land board for
another period of fifteen years
from the time it would expire,
which would be in 1911. Coal
leases are restricted by the legisla-
ture to ten years and an investiga-
tion will be made by the governor,
assisted by other members of the
board, to see if the lease cannot be
declared forfeited.
The board disposed of large
amount of accumulated business
at its meeting.
Register j. N. Chipley, Attorney
General Campbell and Secretary
of State Beckwith will go to Can
on City and Florence tomorrow to
investigate the charges against
Carson and others. These gentle
men have paid their yearly rental,
or royalty, on 200 tons of coal, and
in two different years have paid
on as high as 250 tons. The mem
bers of the board think there is
something wrong. They are in
clined to believe that more than
200 tons had been mined and are
going down to find out if their
suspicious are true. If they find
that more than the amount re-
turned has been mined in any one
year they will cancel the lease.
Under the terms of the lease the
lessees have TO pay royalty on the
29O tons each year, whether they
mined any or not They also have
to pay for any coal mined in ex-
cess of the 200 tons. When this
lease is disposed of other leases
will bn looked into,
