Dear Sir-By Article XIV of the
consular convention of June 1, 1910,
between the United States and the
Kingdom of Sweden, proclaimed
March 20, 1911, it is provided that,
in the case of the death of Swedish

no known heir or testamentary exec
utor designated by him, the competent
local authorities shall give notice OF

agents of Sweden.
BY direction of the governor OF
New Mexico, / have to ask that, i'm
mediately upon receipt, in your office
of a certificate of the death of any
such Swede, you report the fact to
the secretary of the territory of New
Mexico at Santa Fe, to the end that
he give the required information tc
the proper consul of Sweden. As the

Yours truly,

Shakeup in Indian Claims.
As an aftermath of the activity O
the Republican administration Of thu
territory the temporary boundaries
which during Mr.. ,Roosevelt's admins
1ration were extended over and be
yond the permanent boundaries an,
comprising several hundred thousan'
acres, have been reduced to conform
to the permanent boundaries OF tn
Navajo Indian reservation as contem
plated by congress.
The Indian bureau had been local
y ing by allotment the Indians from tn
Navajo Indian reservation on land
within the temporary boundarie
above described and upon lands whic
were not only known to be but whic
had actually been classified by th
geological survey as coal lands.
As an Indian making a homestea
entry or allotment cannot secure It'll
thereto for Is years 1t can be readil
understood that the citizens of Sa
Juan and Mckinley counties and
portion of Sandoval county we're vita
ly interested, as is incidentally Il
whole Of the territory, in having thei
lands pass into the hands Of citizeI
of the territory, thereby being su
iect to taxation. This would not ha,
been the case had they been approve
as Indian allotments. It Is stated {
good authority that all Of the India
allotments made on the above land
comprising 1000 or more. have bes
transmitted to the field service Of Il
general land office for investigate
to determine the coal or non-co
character of the land and also whet
er the Indian applicant has made
actual settlement thereon as requir'
by the law.
" II the Indian has not done so, the
allotments will be cancelled and II t
lands are found TO be coal lands tn
will also be cancelled.
