the minerals and mineral substances,
with rights appurtenant thereto,
underlying that part of the tract OF
land called "Swanton" containing
1870 acres, more or less, situate East

Maryland, which was conveyed, with
all minerals reserved, by M. NJ. Arm
strong ct ux. to Lewis R. Parr by deed
dated May 5, 1900, and recorded in
Liber E. z. T. No. SO, folio 432, one

County, Maryland, and which by
deed from John Dimeling ct uX. dated
February Il, 1880, and recorded IN
Liber A. G. r. No. 100, folio 1911, one
of said Land Records of Garrett
County, finally became and is now

minerals and mineral substances
hereby offered for sale are also the
same which were conveyed unto Will
liam C. Bond ct al. in the last item OF
a deed from said NJ. NJ. Armstrong ct
ux. dated May 5, 1900, and recorded
in Liber E. z. T. No. SO, folio 422,

title to which, in the manner set forth
in the papers in the above case, be-
came vested in the parties to this
cause and is now vested in the under
signed trustees by virtue of the afore-
said decree herein, said minerals and
mineral substances and rights APP
purtenant thereto being described in
fOlInWS. All
minerals, oils, gases and valuable
claws in, upon or under said lands, or
any part thereof, together with free
ingress, egress and regress to, over,
upon and from said lands for the
purpose of operating the same at any
time or place"
The western boundary of said tract
of land under which the above miner
ais and mineral substances are To-
Gated is situate about four miles East
of Grantsville, in Garrett County, and
said tract extends thence eastward
for several miles. A strip mining
operation was carried on for some
time by Burnwell Coal Company and
a considerable amount of coal opened
and removed, but the greater part OF
the deposit still remains. Deep mining
operations for the mining of Klttan-
ming or B seam of coal have also been
carried on near the western boundary
of the tract at and near what is
known as the Jenkins No l Mine, but
the tract has never been fully tested
as to the acreage and workable
seams of coal. Both Kittanning and
Freeport seams of coal are said to
underlie the tract. There is also
valuable seam of clay underlying the
above developed seam of coal but
same has not been developed and
operated.
Full mining rights, as set forth in
the aforesaid reservation, apply to
and will be available to the purchaser
of this property insofar as deep min
ing is concerned, but strip mining can
only be done under license from the
Board of Public Works of Maryland.
The trustees are advised that license
for this can be obtained upon reason
able terms but they do not warrant
that it can be obtained or undertake
to secure the same.
Terms of Sale: One third cash on
day of sale, one third in six months
and the balance in twelve months, or
all cash at the option of the pur--
chaser or purchasers, the deferred
parts of the purchase price to bear
interest at SCI and to be secured to
the satisfaction of the trustees, as
prescribed by said decree.
Further information may be OBJ
tanned by application to the trustees.
