HOW To FILE
ON COAL LANDS

The commissioner of the general
land office has issued instructions to
registers of the local land offices con-
cerning the selection Of lends by state
and territories under grants for edu-
cational and other purposes. Instruct
ions have also been received as to
disposition of lands withdrawn from
coal entry. Lands heretofore with
drawn from coal entry and not re!eas-
ed will be considered as coal lands.
Coal filings made within 60 days prior
to Withdrawals from coal entry may
be completed within the prescribed
time by the statutes, less the time
from date of such Withdrawals to
date of special written notice of the
filing of maps and lists in the local
land office. Lands not coal lands
may be entered under any OF the pub
lie land laws applicable to the partic-
ular tract. Each land office Will be
furnished with maps to show where
the coal land lies.

the flicker of the lamp runs over the
face of the seam. That mine is go
ing to be big Havre industry, and
there is no doubt of it."
Dr.. Hamilton said that a visit to
the mines was all that is necessary
to impress one with the fact that ther
is world OF coal out there and that
the coal is of the finest quality, as
it is clean and jet black, as well as
bright and having aa fine, close tex
ture, and that the more extended op-
Grafton off the property, with a most
modern plant, can not De other than
a great success financially, as the
market is ready to take every ton
that can be mined and delivered; and
that SO far as the city is concerned,
it will be the greatest possible boost
for Havre.
Mr.. F. N. Utter said: I went
through the the mines and it was
revelation tc me: "Tha... is coal
mine out there; not rambling hole
goughed out irregularly in an irregu-
lar deposit OF coal. The development
has been done Systematically and
well, the entryways and haulageways
being run with view to the opening
Of the coal area, so that there is now
a great amount of coal that is ready
to be mined, and there does not seem
to be any question as to the continu-
ance OF the vein as it goes north, as
1t grows thicker and more solid as
the workings reach deeper into the
bench. TIE coal IS there in apparent
ly inexhaustible supply and with a
market that is practically unlimited,
the property, when operated under the
new methods that are being installed,
must become a great industry and will
make Havre grow as perhaps no 9TH
er obtainable improvement would"
Mr.. Frank Cowan of Cowan & Boil
es, wanted to see a coal mine and he
took advantage of the pleasant after
noon and drove out to the property.
He said that there's nothing to this
coal famine scare in the future; the
company has a world of coal out
there, and it is mighty fine looking
coal and a seam that is six feet in
thickness in the further workings and
apparently growing thicker, and clean,
fine COAL When the electric plant is
installed and the mine gets to putting
out from 500 tons per day Of coal, it
will mean the employment Of large
number of men and that much added
business and population, so I do not
see what Hayre can want that is bet
ter"
Mr.. II. w. Gtringfellow took especial
interest in the tour through the mines
and he said: Il have not been skept-
ical as to the fact of the mine or the
practicability of making it big pro-
