Bought Coal Land

Harry Lewis and wife, Ann
cite Lewis, OF Wichman, in Min
eral county, were Carson Sat
urday, aud while here bought 500
acres OF coal land from the L. S.
government at a price OF $40 per
acre. This is the price OF land
when situated more than fifteen
miles from the railroad, says the
Carson News.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, two or
three years ago gave notice of
their intention 10 prospect for coal
on the lands they bought yester-
day, and since that time they have
done development work of the
value OF about three thousand
dollars. They subsequently filed
affidayits showing the amount of
work done and proving the exist
ence OF coal and applied for per-
mission to purchase the land from
the government. There being no
objection on the part OF any other
person and no attempt to show
that the work claimed had not
been done, the LeWises were yes
terday able to buy the coal land
which will be patented in a short
time.
This is said to be the largest
tract OF coal land ever sold in Ne
yada by the government. Accord
ing to the officials at the land
office the only other tract ever
acquired by private parties in
Nevada was forty acre tract
bought by DIR. Krebs in the same
district several years ago.
