 tions For Coal Lands

WASHINGTON April 17.-Secre tary of the Interior Payne has ap- proved rules and regulations for the prospecting for and leasing of coal deposits of the United States under the Act of February 25, 1920.

Leases for the units are to be offered for competitive bidding at a royalty fixed in advance, not less than , cents per ton and awarded to the qualified person bid ding the highest bonus. The Secre tary of the Interior is authorized to grant prospecting permits to qual- flied citizens to search for unknown coal deposits or to explore undevel oped lands where preliminary work  is necessary to determine the exist ence of the workabilty of the de- posits In such cases, the permittee who finds or develops workable coal deposits may have lease on such royalty as may be fixed by the Secretary of the Interior.
 The Geological Survey has classi- fled 3O,OOOO00 acres of public lands as containing deposits of coal and an area of 40,000,000 acres, part of which undoubtedly contains such de- posits is awaiting classification. The coal which may be obtained under the act varies from low grade Ignite to very high quality of bituminous coal. These regulations do not apply to Alaska where coal deposits are leased under the act of October 20 1914.
