| this will occur is not yet decided upon,

| Receiver H. l.. Doherty was accepted
some time ago and Paul Doty of De-
'troit was appointed in his place Mr.,
| Doty has been in charge of affairs
since the first of September. The res

reached between the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company and the government of
| the contests over entries on coal lands
in the southern part of the state, in
vestigation of which has absorbed the
attention of the office for several
| months. The fuel company under the
new management has agreed to pay $50
an acre. the government price for coal
| lands, instead of $3.50 an acre, which
! is paid for timber and stone land. The
| land in litigation was taken up by the
| Colorado Fuel and Iron Company un-

| been quietly acquired through a num-
Der of years. The exact amount ill
volved in the settlement is not made
public, but it is claimed by those who
are familiar with the contests that it
will be in the neighborhood of $780,

of the recent visit of Washington
newspaper men to Colorado. says: The
