by the prospective mining company. The
policy of the government In gradually
increasing the price at which coal lands
may be sold has. no doubt, prevented
private individuals from organizing new
companies to operate in competition with
the established coal mining companies
now operating in Wyoming. Prohibitive
prices, which, in some cases. have reached
$1,000 per acre for lands adjoining coal
lands of known quality. have placed these
lands out of reach of any combination
Of miners who might desire to benefit
by opening an independent mine.
I'm my opinion. the policy of the state
basis. upon q payment of q royalty OF
. cents per ton on an output OF one
hundred thousand tons, or over, per year,
Is good one. When the output is
twenty-five thousand tons per year, or
less, cents per ton royalty Is charged.
The only requirement made by the state
in coal mining lease is that within two
years sufficient development work shall
be done to show the value Of the prop
erty or develop 1t to an extent that coal
can be mined II there are facilities for
transportation.
AT the end Of the five-year lease the
lessee Is entitled to q renewal of his lease
II he has equipped his mine with the
necessary machinery for mining coal.
Of this character 1t would enable combi-
nations Of miners to be formed to operate
on a small scale and develop coal prop
critics. 1t would not be necessary for
them to raise large amount OF capital.
The raising OF a large amount Of capital
ers. and in many cases. the interest on
the required money would be too large
drain for the resources.

rates vary from $1.75 per ton to Salt

to intermediate points. Nearly all of the

several reasons, chief of which Is that
the cost of production varies accofdlne
10 the character and situation OF the vein,
and cannot be estimated In advance. They
also complain that the tracts or coal
land offered for sale by the government
are SO limited that they will not JUSTIFY
the investment of the capital necessary
TO develop them. They contend that no
man is justified either in purchasing or
in operating a small bed Of COAL and
that the government, by its present policy,
has retarded the industry. Furthermore'
they assert that the limits placed upon

ested to engage in unlawful endeavors to

Commissioner Fuller's View.

work together. They are expectedsto pro-
duce from six to nine tons per day to
the man. Their coal is weighted and
checked at the mouth Of the shaft and
they are given credit checks for what
ever they bring out. The checks are
cashed twice month The company pro-
vides houses for the miners to live In for
which they charge rent. 1t furnishes
medical and surgical treatment under a
system managed by Joint committee OF
operators and miners.
The men are organized, but are very In,
dependent and resent outside interferrence.
Any walking delegate who comes here as
q stranger to advise them concerning
their interests or to attempt to interfere
in their relations with their employers Is
apt to meet with chilly reception. Sew
eral missionaries of that sort have been
roughly treated.
There has been no trouble between the
operators and the miners. spirit OF
fairness has been displayed on both sides
and the miners have learned by expert
ence that Mr.. Quaeisy Is their friend and
that they can depend upon his honesty
and sense of justice.
Several prospectors have recently found
gold in the mountains in the vicinity Of
Kemmerer and considerable interest has
been aroused, but no large operations
have been undertaken.
