FUEL Famine NOT
LIKELY TO OCCUR.
VAST AREAS OF COAL LAND ARE
OPENED UP OR AVAILABLE.
DEPOSITS IN NORTHWEST
Acting Secretary Of the interior
Woodruff Calls Attention to
Extensive Work of the
Geological Survey.

Washington, July 27.-That coal
famine is not necessary or imminent
is the opinion expressed by Acting
Secretary Woodruff. Of the interior
department. In a statement made
public Friday he discussed the coal
area as developed by the geological
survey, saying:
"Not including great areas OF hg-
mite, which will be mined only after
the more valuable coal deposits are
exhausted, the geological survey has
determined that there are townships
in the states and territories west of
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.
aggregating in all over 60,OOO,OO0
acres of land, each township of which
contains, under Its entire surface or
part of it, workable deposits of
coal This work has been taken
up with the utmost vigor during the
present year and townships contain
ing more than 2S,000,O0O acres in
which workable coal exists have been
examined and classified.
No Necessity TOR shortage.
when one remembers that these
classified areas are most conveniently
situated with reference to traosporta-
ton and settled districts and that
every acre of them is subject to pur-
chase from the government under the
coal land laws, and has been for sew
eral months; also that the Northern
Pacific Railroad company alone is
reputed to have In its own possession
land containing over $300,O0O,O0O
worth of coal, and also that many
hundred thousand acres of coal land
scattered throughout the entire re-
gion containing coal have already
passed into private holding and in
many instances contain large mining
plants, 1t is easy to see that If there
Is to be a coal famine next winter,
such a famine will result only from
failure to mine the coal which is
easily accessible, either by grant to
railroads, purchase in the past by in
dividuals and companies, or entry at
the present time under the laws.
Experts Adding to the Areas.
THE geological survey has 16 par
ties of trained experts advantageously
scattered over the entire region CON
tanning coal These mining engineers
are daily adding to the areas classi'
fed and opened to entry. 1t is be
lieved that by November l all land
in the public land states known to
contain workable deposits Of coal will
be classified and subject to entry"
Mr.. Woodruff expresses the hope
that the next congress may enact a
leasing law which will permit COM
panics to acquire control Of more than
the GAO acres now allowed to be pur-
chased.
OF the coal land still held by the
government over 25,000,000 acres is
held at the minimum prices of ten
dollars and $40 per acre, over 220, 900
at $50 and over 10000 at SIS. This is
In accordance with the classification
made by the survey.
