Washington, y G.. Nov. The an
nUal report Of W A Richards com
missioner of the general land office.
which was made public to-day. says
that during the past year there was a
large decrease in the number of sup
posedly fraudulent land entries over
the preceding year He attributes their
decrease mainly to an order Of the Sec
retary Of the interior. dated November
l., 1902. directing The investi CATION of
all entries made in the states of Cali
fornia. Oregon. and Washington In
der this order alone 10000 entries have
been suspended and there are now fif-
teen special agents Of the land Office in
that field ferreling out the fraudulent
entries. Commissioner Richards also
stated that during the year there were
reported l25 unlawful Enclosures of
public land, covering an area of 2,GO5,-
800 acres. Seveuty-nine of these en-
closures have been removed. and pro-
ceedings are pending to compel the re-
mOval of the remaining number He
says. however that the total number
here mentioned is only fraction OF
the Enclosures maintained in violation
It impossible TO give attention to many
others because of the order for a sp"-
cial investigation Of the entries under
the timber and stone act.
Complaint is made of III" order of
the act of March II. 1902. TO facilitate
entries. Referring to this law the
commissioner says:
The privileges gained by the act
have been greatly abused. particular
ly by United States commissioners, who
have been parties to wholesale frauds
in connection with the entries. Atii-
davits and entry papers have been
prepared in the names of fictitious
persons and number of other ways
have been devised to assist parties to
evade compliance with tn" law
The report makes a strong plea for
a larger force of special agents

GENERAL LAND OFFICE REPORT
ON DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS

Speaking Of the forest lieu land Sc
lerriOns. The commissioner says there
were .JU4 Of them pending the nrst Of
last July and they involved an approx
innate area OF .2G3.l3o acres. He re-
rOmmends a change in the law permit
ting the exchange Of entries pending
within the reservation for uupa tented
land on the outside saying
while il is considered to be impra,-
ticable TO require that only land of like
value shall be taken in exchange for
land in a reserve it might be provided
that timber land should not be selected
in lieu CT such land, just as mineral
land is .ow excepted from such selec-
tlnO"
Mr. RicardS also recommends the
transr.s OF the control of the forest
reserves to the department OF agrlcul.
ture. There are at present % reserves.
covering an area of 81. .36o,So acres.
The report continues:
1T is a matter Of first importance
that these reserves TINS far established
should be supplemented by such addi-
tiOnal ones as are needed to form
comprehensive reserve. such as will in
sure full participation to the water and
timber supplies of both the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast regions. Az
vet neither of the two great ranges OF
these regions has sufficient chain OF
timber protecting its entire length, nor
has the matter of reserving as many
sources of water supply as may be
needed in connection with the irrisa-
ton movement been fully determined.
The report notes marked increase
in the business over 1902. the total re-
cepts being Sl1.l2i. .423. an increase OF
Si732.SlG This increase over 1902 Is
greater, il is stated. than the total re
cepts for the year 1899. The total
area Of public lands appropriated dur
ing the year was 29l l,lSi.293 acres. an
increase of $50 76i acres over the
preceding year. About half this area

chamber of commerce of Great Falls.
and with the consent of the representa-
tiyes of the United Copper Company
and the Anal gamated Copper Com

came to conclusion yesterday that it
could not find any solution OF the Butte
shutdown situation
The statement issued and signed by
the members of the committee says:
We. the undersigned members Of
the mediation committee, entered upon
the discharge of our duties realizing
the magnitude and difficulty of our
task. Nevertheless. We have labOred
assidiOusly TO accomplish the purpose
of our appointment.
We have failed to obtain a stipula
ton from the parties litigant which
will insure a resumption of work by
the Amalgamated Copper Company.
and have been unable to devise any
plan looking to that end which did not
involve the mutual consent Of the par
ties interested.
We regret this exceedingly and hope
some common ground may yet be
found by the parties themselves upon
which they can stand.
There is great disappointment at the
failure of the committee to come to
some agreement with the parties IN In
terest. II is hoped Governor ToOle will
call an extraordinary session Of the
] legislature to relieve the situation,
Meanwhile, miners continue to leave
