Denver.-Anyone who desires to
mine coal from state land now unpro.
ductive under leases given to present
operating companies will be given
possession of the land By the State
Land Board, according to statement
issued by Volney T. Hoggatt, register
OF the board.
In order to correct an idea held by
many persons that companies now in
operation have an unbreakable hold
upon coal lands of the state, the regis,
ter has prepared the statement, con-
tanning statistics Of state coal lands,
from the records Of the boards Of
flee.
1t shows that there are 473,732
acres of coal land In Colorado con-
trolled by the state. OF the amount
only 1S,SG7.11 acres are leased. OF
the leased acreage 13,721.66 are non.
productive. The companies holding
the unproductive acreage are paying
annual rentals upon 1t to the state.
If any person or corporation desires
to get the land will begin productive
operations Immediately, the board will
cancel the leases granted to the pres.
ent operators and give leases to new
parties, according to the register.
"The attention Of the public is
called to the fact" Hoggatt's state.
ment reads, that there are a few
sections of this non-producing coal
land which are accessible to the rail-
roads and could, with proper develop.
ment and necessary equipment expen'
dlture, be developed into producing
coal leases"
Most of the unproductive leased
land is classed as non.accessible or
isolated from the railroads. 1t woulu
require large expenditure Of money
for the building Of railroad spurs in
addition to the amount required for
the mine equipment before the land
could be made productive.
Colorado has enough coal reserves
to supply the entire middle West from
the Missouri river to Utah points for
many years to come, the register says,
but very small production Is being
made towards that supply for reasons
seemingly unanswerable.
The increase In the states coal pro
duction In 1912 over 1911 was S19,353
tons. The production for 1912 was H..
0lG,94S tons.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE first
move Of the United States against the
Huerta government will be a blockade
OF Mexican ports, according to reports
sent to foreign powers by their dip
lomatic representatives here following
notice from Secretary Bryan that the
United States had decided not to rec
ognize any acts OF the Huerta govern
ment or of the new Congress which
Huerta proposes to install.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan were at work on the situation
all day and 1t is confidently asserted
In official circles that the United

tack the town and warship was
needed to protect foreign property.
The State Department made public
Huerta's statement the Diplomatic
Corps In Mexico City, the burden of
which was that the presidential elec.
tion would be declared null and void
but that the newly.elected members OF
Congress would soon be installed.
The Mexican embassy here, which
received copy of the note, declared
In an official statement that "it may
be assumed that the dispatches re.
ceived represent the attitude OF
President Huerta and indicate the ma.
ture Of his reply to the inquiry Of the
government Of the United States re-
garding his purposes in view of the re.
cent presidential election"
Bryan denied that any negotiations
were being conducted with the Consti-
tutionalists by the United States gov.
