into the Golfers of the state an
annual income IN itself sufficient to
pay the total expense of the state
government and lift this burden
from the shoulders of the taxpayers
The Idaho Mining association has
taken this matter up and will make
an effort to have the state retain
title to the phosphate beneath this
immense tract of land. At a meet
ing of the local chapter of the assoc
citation held in Boise last Saturday,
Secretary Macbeth of the association
was instructed to notify the state
land board of the attitude of the
association and make the request
that the board rescind its action, if
possible, in order that the state may
make the proper representation to
the federal government for it to
pass title TO the phosphates to Idaho.
If it is too late to do this the assoc
ciatlon proposes TO take the matter
up legally and to endeavor to secure
some kind of stay of proceedings
hoping thereby to prevent the trans-
fer.
State Mine Inspector Bell is em
phatically opposed to the state CIV
ing mp title to the phosphate in this
tract In no uncertain terms he
makes it plain that the state stands
to lose vast income by it's failure
to reserve the right to the mineral
wealth in the lieu lands. He points
out that the state of Minnesota il
now receiving an annual royalty Of
about $3.50, 600 from its iron or.
lands, the amount paid 20 the state
by the operating companies being
% cents q ton. Phosphate rock, he
asserts, viii bring 81 q ton and hs
believes that Idaho would have no
trouble securing a royalty from il
phosphate deposits had it title II
the mineral instead of the govern.
ment. Its value alone TO the agri
cultural industry of Idaho, he as
, serts, would be worth hundreds o
thousands OF dollars.

STATE WILL Be DEPRIVED
OF PHOSPHATE DEPOSITS
Government will Retain Title to Minerals Under
Lieu Lands Recently Acquired by the State
Mining Association Protests.

4 short time ago the Idaho state
land board made an agreement with
the federal government whereby the
latter was to deed to the state $50,
600 acres of land, in almost COM
pact block, in the southeastern part
of this state as lien land selections
for school sections 16 and SO within
forest reservations. While the
state will come into possession of
grazing and dry farm lands worth
many thousands of dollars, by this
exchange, it will lose as much, if
not more IN phosphate valuations
beneath the surface of the entire
tract, as the government has re-
served the right in its transfer of
these lands to the state, to the en-
tire mineral values that they may
contain. The $50, 900 acres which
the state will acquire Is within the
6o0.0o0 acre phosphate withdrawal
made by the government.
In giving up the school sections
within the forest reserves to the
government the state made no res
ervation but passed to government
title not only to the surface, but to
the minerals that may be beneath,
and it 10 admitted that within the
interior Of this state where the
school sections are located there il
vast mineral wealth as yet unex-
plored and unmarketed. They be-
lieve that, having passed this kind
of title to the government the state
had the right to exact similar title
from the government in respect tc
the phosphate lands.
Title to the surface a. well "a the
mineral beneath the block of 25O,.
900 acres OF land within the phos
phate belt would, it is now claimed
by those familiar with the extent Of
the phosphate deposits there, result

only of the grazing and dry farm
lands but TO the phosphate deposit

years could be leased by the stat
on . royalty basis, thereby turning
