Withdrawals of Coal Land.
Over $4,000 acres of public lands
believed to be underlain with coal, in
Nevada and New Mexico were with
drawn from entry in March, and in fur
therence of the Governments policy
OF having the Geological Survey clas
sify and value the public coal lands.
In the same month as a result OF
detailed geologic examinations, 1851,
021 acres of land within the coal
fields in Colorado, Montana, New
Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and
Wyoming, found by the Geological
Survey to be "noncoal' in character,
were returned to the public domain.
During March 1,220,74S acres were
classified by the Survey as. coal
land and prices placed thereon aggre-
eating $37,971, ,740. Had these coal
lands been appraised at the old min.

valuation would have been $21 ,293, ,141

GEOLOGY on STAKE PLAINS

Again the land sank, and in
the geological period succeeding

Tertiary, this valley became d
great lake or bay, in whose
waters were deposited the hori-

will also be noticed that the
Plains form the main watershed
Of the country, many Of the
largest rivers Of this and sur

source around the circumference
Of this area.
The prevailing dip of the
water bearing strata from north
