Washington June 1.-THE govern

land segregation The drills are upon
the last holes now. and the drilling
machinery has been sold Two years
have been spent in this investigation
and the government has spent nearly
SlOO OOO. Sixty test holes We're put
down and careful records kept by
the government.
II has been learned from inside
sources that these reports show
that the value OF the coal land is
far below the estimates usually
placed upon t. They also show. as
people who are familiar with the
situation have always believed. that
the coal operators who got into that
territory early located the best coal
land. and that a great deal OF the
10000 acre segregation does not
contain the coal the government
thought It did An estimate made by
government authority based upon
what the drill records show, is that
the coal lands. including separate
sale Of the surface, is 100000
for the entire segregation. or this
amount the surface is put in at So
coo. 600
