Western Newspaper Union News Service.
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 a 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 473,7S2
acres of coal land in Colorado con.
trolled by the state. OF the amount
only 1S,S67.11 acres are leased. OF
the leased acreage 13.721.66 are non
productive. The companies holding
the unproductive acreage are paying
annual rentals upon It 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 q 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
diture. 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 S19,35a
tons. The production for 1912 was H..
0lG,9iS tons.
