ADVERSE LAND DECISION.

Attorney +. c. Perkins yesterday
received notice from the commissioner
of the General Land Office TO the
effect that the Act of June 20, 1910.
does not apply to the Southern Ute
Reservation. 1t relates to entries on
lands classed as coal lands and pro-
vides that an entryman may waive the
coal right and receive surface pat
ent. The new ruling on Indian lands
denies the surface patent on reser-
vation entries unless the entryman
can prove that there is no coal under
the surface. This is almost impos-
sible to prove satisfactorily with
out sinking a test shaft several hun
dred feet into the ground The de-
cision affects many who have filed
on Indian lands in this section.

the unlimited resources and the mar

be said we have 1t to waste; a soil
rich in the chemicals that make fruit

few of the things he had learned
during his short stay in our city.
General Bell said 1t certainly SEEM
ed that this section is unusually IA
vored When all this power, now
either going to waste. or developed but
crudely, is utilized, and up-to-date
methods and principles of economics
