on the Interpretation of the law and to
impress upon the country how the

Enormous Coal Valuations.

Under the present scheme of classify
ing government coal land 56,089,214
acres of withdrawn land had been, on
August 1, examined in geologic detail
and classified by the United States geo.
logical survey.
The lands found to contain workable
coal beds aggregated 16,s73.37O acres.
These lands, in 40-acre tracts, have
been appraised by the survey at a total
valuation of $711 ,992, 537, in prices
ranging from the minimum figure stated
in the coal law-$10 or 500 an acre,
according to whether the land is located
within Is miles of the railroad-to fig
ures of over $500 an acre where the
thickness is of 100 feet, or even more.
The government valuations accord in
general way with the market values of
private coal lands in the west, although,
as matter of fact, they are somewhat
more liberal to the purchaser. Four
hundred dollars an acre may seem a
high price for Uncle Sam coal land,
which a few years ago might have been
bought for $50 an acre. However, the
geological surveys plan of classified
ton and valuation contemplates that
the government should receive at least
reasonable return for its coal, admit
tedly the most useful rock mineral in
its possession. When it is understood
that an acre with, say, a 4O-foot coal
bed or seam contains approximately
10000 tons of coal and an acre with
100 feet of coal contains 10000 tons,
the price asked by the government, in
stead of being exorbitant, seems, on the
other hand, hardly sufficient. On land
having a thickness of so feet of coal
$500 an acre would be less than 3 cents
a ton. In reality, under the survey
regulations, which consider depth of the
coal, number of beds, quality and other
physical details, the prices asked for
many areas containing so feet of coal
are equivalent to nearer 2 than cents
a ton.
At the minimum prices which were
in effect before the government with
drawals of coal lands, the 1878, $40
acres above referred to would have
been priced at only 1866, ,431, the
difference in favor of the public reve-
nue. at the new prices being therefore
$445, $40, LOG. Under the provisions of
the national irrigation law the proceeds
from all sales of coal land are credited
to the reclamation fund.-" so that
government irrigation has, as it were, a
considerable trust fund for future OPP
erations.

Gold and silver medal banners will
be awarded as first and second prizes
