MINING.

EFor many years succeeding
the enactment of the coal land
laws, the minimum prices named
therein were, by regulations of
the land department, prescribed
and accepted as the maximum
rates at which such lands might
be sold. This, however, was
changed by the regulations of
April 18th, 1907 (S5 L. ID. 665).
In adopting and issuing these
regulations, the Commissioner is
well within the plain terms of
the coal land law. and the scope

II is the established practice
Of the Department to issue pat
ent to the heirs generally Of a
deceased entryman. If there be
no widow, or minor children en-
titled to claim under section
2292 r. s. Or if it be shown in
the record prior to issue of pat
ent that the entryman has Tade
a will purporting to devise his
interest in the entry, then the
patent is issued to the heirs or
devisees of the deceased entry
man when there is no widow, or
minor children to claim under
section 1892 r. s. II is left TO
the local courts to determine in
such cases who the heirs are
and what their individual inter
ests may be.

PLANK DRAG.

and to the shifting of the position and
weight of the operator, both Of which
are essential considerations.
The other mistake is in the use Of
squared timbers instead Of those with
sharp edges, whereby the cutting eff.
feet Of the sharp edges is lost and the
drag is permitted to glide over instead
of to equahze the irregularities in the
surface Of the road.
A dry cedar log is the best material
for drag. Red elm and walnut when
thoroughly dried are excellent. and box
elder, soft maple or even willow Is
preferable to oak, hickory or ash.
Drags are often constructed Of
planks instead of logs. There is moth
ing in the construction of a plank drag
that calls forSparticular mention ex-
cept the strengthening of the pIanks
along their middle line by 2|by Q
inch strip. A triangular strip may be
used under the lower edge of the blade
to give, it the proper cutting slope.
The successful operation of q. drag
involves two principles. which. When
thoroughly understood and intelligent
" applied, make road working with
this implement very simple. The first
concerns the length and position OF the
hitch, while the second deals with the
position of the driver on the drag.
Each influences the other to a large
extent. and successful manipulation of
the drag is dependent upon an under
standing of both Of them.
For ordinary purposes the snatch
link or cleyis should be fastened far
enough toward the blade end of the
chain to force the unloaded drag to
follow the team at an angle of Is de-
grees. This win cause the earth to
move along the face OF the drag
smoothly and will give comparatively
light draft to the team, provided the
driver rides in the line Of draft. Some
times, however. conditions are met

In a rolling country such conditions

The distance from the drag at which
