LAND OFFICE MAKES REPORT
Interesting Report Given to Secretary
Lane, Showing Immense A
mount of Work Done
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-See.retary
Lane has Just, received a report
from Commissioner Tallman of the
Land Office, with respect to the
surveying work jntrformed by the
Bureau, which shows that in point
of character of work, area surveyed
and cost, the past season's work in
surveying shows better results lhan
at any time heretofore in the his
tory of the General Land Office.
Frank M. Johnson, supervisor of
surveys of the General Land Office,
has been called to Washington for
consultation. His reports as to the
past saai's work in the field are
fully conclusive at the success of
the direct system of surveys; that
is to say, surveying by government
employes directly, by and thru a
regular organization with full gov
ernment equipment for that purpose,
rather than by survey by competit
ive contract hi In former years. Not
only is the actual work Itself mater
ially less expensive, but the results
are fur more saitsfactory.
The surveying ervice of the Gen
eral Iand Office has surveyed dur
ing the pat season under the di
rection of tbe commtasioDer about
fourteen and a quarter million a
cres of the public domain at a cost
of aibout three and eight-tenths cents
per acre for field work. Most of
this newly surveyed area lies west of
tbe one hundred ami firth meridian
of went longitude and includes Alas
ka, but extensive surveys and re
surveys have also been made in Ne
braska, South Dakota and Arkansas,
while fragmentary and investigation
surveys are now being executed tn
Florida and Louisiana. In adiJtion
to this immense work which identi
fies for disposal approximately seventy-five
thousand quarter sections,
the General Land Office has made
numerous Investigation and examina
tion surveys, including an investiga
tion of a portion of the Oregon-California
boundary line, townslte sur
veys, small holding claims, Spanish
land grants, abandoned military res
ervations, survey of reservations
for the Navy department, island sur
veys, a survey of the boundaries of
thtt Sequoia National park and re
surveys of thousands of state land
selections, school sections' and pri
vate land ctalrus.
