How about Ignite. is it Of great
value?'
1T will probably be worth far more
in the future than it is now. We have
/ altogether in the neighborhood of $780,
600 square miles, containing about
! 800 billion tons of Ignite. which is
+ easily accessible. There are vast beds
of Ignite in northern Dakota, covered
over with rich farming lands, and there
are great beds in the south, including
! Texas and other gulf states. We have
Ignite bed in North Dakota which
is as big as the whole state of South
Carolina. It's contents are estimated at
something like SOC billion tons. Mon
tana and New Mexico have large de-
posits of Ignite and there are billions
of tons of it in Alaska.
Ignite Briquettes for the Railroads.
But have we had any practical tests
of the value of 1ignite?"
1T is used largely in Europe" re-
piled the director of the survey.
Germany consumes fifteen million
tons of it annually, and in the shape
of briquettes it is consumed on many
of the European railroads. It is also
employed there for domestic heating
and gas making. Briquettes have been
used experimenta1y on some of our
roads and we have number of fac
tories which are now making them.
The briquettes burn without clinkers,
and I have seen it estimated that If
they shouId be substituted for coal on
the railroads. the saving in our coal
consumption would be something like
thirty million tons per annum. The
Geological Survey has been making ex-
periments as to briquette manufacture,
and we have machines which will exert
a pressure of 5000 pounds to the
square inch, forcing the Ignite into.
briquettes without the aid of a binder
such as pitch or some other substance.
Ignite coal can be used for gasmakins,
and it will in time form a large source
of fuel supply for gas engines
The Coal Lands and the Deserts.
What will be done with the money
that the government gets from its coal
1andsT 1 asked.
THAT is a very interesting feature in
connection with the revaluation. said
the director THE greater part of the
government coal lands lies in the states
which are reclaiming the deserts, and
this money will go to the reclamation
fund. 1t will be used to make reser-l
voirs in the mountains, dams for the
rivers and canals to carry the water
out over the land 1t will enormously
increase the area of irrigated land and
will eventually result in the creation
of thousands of farms. So far the
proceeds Of the coal lands have all been
deposited to the credit Of the irriga-
ton reclamation fund.

Uncle Sam as a Coal Merchant.
But can the. government lands bt

e are selling them. During a single
month-at the Salt Lake City office we
have received 100000 for such lands
and additional claims were filed thai
month by would be purchasers aggre-
eating 100000 more. The selling prices
are fixed SO that they will be at
tract1ve to the purchaser and at the
same time will prevent the lands being
bought and held. in order that the buy
er may make a great profit out of the
uneartned increment thereon The idea
is to conserve the coal for the govern
ment and the people. The land office
also issues patents for farm lands
as homesteads, -reserving the coal which
lies beneath them.
What sort of coal lands are the best
investments?'
At present the high grade and more
expensive. lands are the better buys, al
though more of the lower priced lands
are being sold. You see we have con-
siderable competition from the rail-
ways that have received large grants
OF public lands as subsidies, and some
of which own vast quantities Of coal.
The Union Pacific road has extensive
tracts of valuable coal lands. ! would
say that the railroads are not anxious
TO sell at the government prices, and
that our prices are as a rule below
those asked for private coal lands in
the same districts
The Old Plan and the New.
Can you give me an example of the
old method Of selling in contrast to the
present plan"
Suppose we take one of the Wyom-
ing coal fields" said the director. Here
is township which at the old rate of
from $40 to $50 per acre was valued at
100000. It is now priced at 1 cent a
ton according to its coal contents. and
the value is just $2,S00,000, a difference
of $2,340,000 for that township alone.
In another township in Wyoming the
present valuation of the coal lands is
little more IS, coo. 600. whereas it was
less than 100000 before, and a single
square mile of that township had been
valued at s216. GOO"
Surveying the Coal
But how can your surveyors know
just what coal there is in the land?
Do they use diamond drills and bore
down through every acre?'
NO" replied the director. They can
tell from the outcroppings of the coal
on the mountains and hills. and the
veins exposed in the canyons and val
legs. If there is a bed of coal 20 feet
thick In one canyon and we find bed
of the same thickness and same quality
Of coal some distance away with the
other geological conditions that would
show that the two were part of one
and the same bed we should conclude
that all the land between the two con-
tained coal. Our estimates are care
fully made. and as rule, they are

and II is now known to cover a terri

Ohio, Virginia or Kentucky, or about
one-sixth that Of the United States
proper.
Some Of the new and undeveloped
regions have beds SO, 20. 50 and even so
feet thick. and one single bed contains
five or six billion tons In the whole
United States, according to the estimate
OF DR.. Campbell, made for the survey,
the coal in the beds IS more than 5000
billions of tons, and Of this more than
1000 billion tons are accessible and
easily worked Dr. Smith says that our
workable coal fields are four times as
large Is those of all OF the country
combined, and that our tonnage is twice
as great as that estimated fer the rest

Cowboys Adventure, the thrilling
story that is the feature at the Breed
today, tesis of pay day in little west
ern town. and the majority of the
money Is spent at the Miners Rest
saloon. A lively scrimmage over a
squsw takes place here in which most
of the miners Of the community are
mixed up. Much shooting takes place
and some are injured. One of the
cowboys with a revengeful spirit, hav-
ing himself fired one of the fatal
shots, steals his rivals gun with the
owners name on it. and leaves it be-
side the wounded man. A 1ynchins
is narrowly averted by the Chinese
laundryman of the village, who hap
pened to be an eye witness of the
affair, who places the blame on the
right party and saves the innocent
man from being executed wholly up
on circumstantial evidence.
Another big feature attra ction 10

is decidedly western, carrying a thrill
ing story as well as some unusually
