Coal Lands.
The next subject, and one most i'm
portant for your consideration. is the
disposition Of the coat lands in the
United States and in Alaska. AT the
beginning of this administration there.
were classified coal lands In the Unit
ed States amounting to 5.4Te.ooo acres,
and there were withdrawn from entry
Tor purposes of classification 11,se7.0o 0
acres. Since that time there have been
Withdrawn by my order from entry
Tor classification 1S,91I,T45 acres, max
ing n total withdrawal of 96.s44.745
acres. Meantime of the acres thus
withdrawn 1o.o61, $50 have been classi-
fed and found not TO contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en-
try and 4.72G.09l acres have been .clas-
slfed as coal lands. while 79,9o3.239
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
S37.G00 acres have been classified as.
coal lands without prior withdrawal,
thus increasing the classified coal lands
to 1o.429.372 acres.
