TAFT W|THDRAWS
MORE COAL LANDS
Work Is Now Complete and
Land Is Safely Held
REPORT BY BALLINGER
Total of Coal Lands Now Wfthdrawn
From Public Entry By President
Amounts TO Over Seventy
Million Acres

Beverly. Mass, July 14.-President
Taft TODAY withdrew more millions of
acres of coal lands in different states
of the west, bringing the total of coal
lands Withdrawals made by him up
to the enormous total of 71.51s,522
acres. Something like h alf of this
amount are new Withdrawals. The work
is now complete and is epitomized in
the following letter to the President
from the Secretary of the Interior Bal
linger:
MY Dear Mr.. President-The orders
for the withdrawal of coal lands Which
are transmitted here will complete the
series which have been prepared in
accordance with your Instructions
These orders confirm and continue all
existing coal lands Withdrawals and
add materially thereto. The areas COW
cred are as follows:
ARIZONA 1e1,2s0, Colorado 6,191,161,
Montana 20202S65, New Mexico 2,o44,-
279, North Dakota 17,S2s.1S2. oregon
1s2,5e2, South Dakota 2,s7o,2s7, Utah
Ss14,2s7, Washington 2,207,2e7, Wyom-
ing 15.oss,71s acres.
1.-THE total of coal lands now with
drawn in the United Staes is, therefore,
Il,olo,o1S dcICS
"All the land, however, is open to
agricultural entry with a limited sur
face patent under the terms of the
order of withdrawal and in accordance
with the recent enactment providing
for agricultural surface entries on
withdrawn or classified coal lands.
"Already 10.210,oS2 acres of coal
land. in part included in the early
Withdrawals, have been classified ana
appraised by the geological survey
prior to July l, 1910. and restored to
appropriate entry The total appraised
valuation of these coal lands is $449,-
S7e. POS as compared with $17D,o6o.tbo
which would be the minimum price that
formerly obtained in the dlsposal OF
government coal lands.
1.-The order of withdrawal for Alaska,
approved by you on July 2, is OF neees-
sity in general terms on account of the
lack of land surveys. In the explored
portion of Alaska, which comprises
about 20 per cent of the district, the
supposed areas of coal fields aggregate
approximately $4,000 square miles. In
these coal fields the areas believed to
be underlaid by workable beds of coal
are about 1900 square miles, in more
than tn -fourths of which areu lower
grade coal occurs. Thus the known
coal lands of Alaska which arc ne
lieved to be affected by your order of
withdrawal aggregates some 10000
acres Very respectfully,
"R A. BALLINGER, Secretary"
