Uncle Sam Leads
In Coal Lands

Besides being about the biggest
coal land owner in the world, Uncle
Sam owns immense tracts of oil shale
and important deposits of phosphate,
potash and other salts.
The Interior Department is now
supervising about 100000 acres of
public coal land in fifteen states, with
the prospect that in the not distant
future the, coal mining on govern
ment lands will supplant that on pri-
vate property. There are now more
than 100 coal mines on government
land in operation in eight states.
Uncle Sam has given one phosphate
mining lease, one oil shale lease and
four potash leases on government
land.
Besides being such a big owner
of natural resources, Uncle Sam has
land in the last two years to home
of Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and Connecticut.
In spite Of this wholesale gift to
homesteaders, our Uncle Samuel has
received a tidy sum from his public
lands during those same last two
years, the total receipts amounting to
$24,843,809. Of this, more than half
came from royalties on mineral
leases-s12.9S1,609. Receipts from the
naval petroleum reserve brought in
$5,543,836. Receipts from Alaska, COW
ering town lots, timber and royalties on
coal leases, brought in nearly 100000.
