SMALL INVESTORS CHANCE.
Coal Lands OF Choctaws And ChIckasaws
at Auction.

Ardmore, l. T., Sept. 17.-Four hun
dred and forty thousand acres of high
grade bituminous coal will be knocked
down TO the highest bidders by the
federal government at auction sales to
be held some time within the next
two years These lands, which now
belong to the Choctaw and Chiclsasaw
Indians, and which are located in
Indian Territory, have, under the pro-
visions of an act of congress, been
segregated by experts of the geological
survey, acting under the direction of
the secretary of the interior.
1t is said that the territory coal
fields will eventually yield 1,76O, ooo, 600
tons of coal A considerable part of
the lands is already being profitably
worked on thirty-year leases, the
lessees paying eight cents ton, "minc
rum" for coal taken out.
A period of two years is allowed the
commission in which to dispose of the
lands. 1t is said at the interior de-
partment that the protracted period OF
the sale and the selling of small sec
tons will give small investors share
of those valuable lands and will, more
over, serve to prevent the entire area
being gobbled up by Il few great syn
dicates at 4 price agreed upon among
themselves
