PUBLIC LANDJJNDER LEASE
Administration Measures for Open
ing Up Valuable Resources'
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE WEST

Ik Worth While.
In the genera! preoccupation of tho na
tional government with Mexican attain
and related International question, pub
lie Intereit I diverted from mora sober
propooAl of large domestic concern now
before congress. One of thene described
by tho Washington correspondent of the
New York ISvenlng Post Is the - bill
drafted by Franklin K. Lane, secretary
of the Interior, for the opening of our
611, coal, phosphate nnd potash lands un
der a leasing system. Secretary l-nn
has a legislative program of his own
which he Is taking up- one Item at n
time, and which he hopes to complete
before this session adjourns.
The Alasknn railroad bill was the first
big Item on Ids program, and that Is vir
tually through. The Alaskan coal lead
ing bill Is Just reported out of tho house
committee on public lands. Senator My
ers and Representative Kcrrls, chairmen
of the public lands committees of tho
senate and house, have Introduced the
administration bills govornlns the devel
opment of western resources. These bill
are the result of conferences between
Secretary Lane, themselves, and other
members of the senate and house, and
are Intended to make available tho coal,
oil. phosphate and potash deposits of the
west for Immediate development. The
form and substance of these proposals
meet the approval of Olfford Plnohot and
tho conservationists who aro associated
with him.
Provision for LeaalnR.
Broadly stated, the bills provide for the
leasing of the public lands under con
ditions to guard against monopoly and
to tnsura full development. It Is provided,
as to oil lands, that tho federal govern
ment will Issue a permit for 3.E00 acres,
which will gtvo the possessor tha cx
cluslvo right to explore for oil In his
territory for a period of two years, fur
InK which time exploration work aggre
gating 2,0y0 feet In depth must be done.
If oil Is discovered, tho permittee Is 'en-'
titled to ono-fourth of the land In fee,
tho remainder of the land to remain with
th government and the subject to lease
In small tracts "upon a royalty basis.
This, It Is believed, will provide a liberal
return to tho explorer for his venture.
iJrider tho leases or patents granted no
drilling of welts can take place within
00. feet of the outer boundaries of tho
larids leased or patented, and provision
Is taado for general regulations requiring
precautions to provent waste of oil sands
or oll-bearlnr strata. Forfeiture of the
lefiso Is the penalty for violating these
conditions and forfeiture can be effected
through court procedure.
Tho coal lands of tho country,-' which
aro all in great part classified, are to
be sold as at present, in small blocks,
hut provision ,1s made In tha bills for
leasing them, 'any holding not to exceed
S.StO acres. It Is also provided that for
strictly, locaV or domestic needs limited
permits may be granted for tracts not
to. exceed ten acres for a period of ten
years. Tha provisions against monopo
llsatlort under this proposed 'WW are
stringent. For Instance, no person or
association Is permitted an Interest as a.
stockholder or otherwise In more than
one lease, .and severe penalties are pro
v)ded for, aa against tho sale or transfer
of any Interest In. any .lease to any one
holding an Interest In any other tease,
Regulations nnd noynlUes,
The manner In which suck leases are
td be made Is to be provided for by 'Hon.
ernl regulations made by the secretary
of the Interior, and the, royalties paid
aro to be based upon the amount of the
product procured. In addition, In order
lot insure' against more speoulatlvo hold
ing, a small annual rental per. acre Is
charged. Similar provisions adapted to
the; dlfforent conditions, are made as to
thtf production of phosphate and potash,
Tho royalties resulting from such do,
vetopment are to go In. the first place
Into the reclamation fund, and be. Used
for the development, of Irrigation projects
In the, arid and seml-arld 'state'. Aftfr
being once so used, 0 per cent ot thV
proceeds upon Its return to the federal
treasury Is to go to tho state treasury
for school and development uses,
Secretary Lane has recommended that
tho Alaskan coal fields may be safely
turned over to the public under a leas
Inc and royalty system similar to that
under which the stato of Minnesota leases
Its ore lands, and the states of Montana
and Colorado their coal lands. The
tracts opened should be disposed of to
those who within a certain time would
develop mines and make their product
commercially available. This means that
where a railroad la necessary to the op
eration of a mine tho applicant should
take a lease to conditioned for. a .limited
pirlod. Sufficient land should be leased
as )t body to Justify long-continued and
economical operation. Aa the average of
nil operations In the United States Is
J, 600 acres. Including many Small hold
li.gs, this might be taken as a maximum
unlu The secretary has ald
"There haa been much dispute among
thojte who favor making a lease for an
Indeterminate period, dependent alone
upon continued operation, and those who
believe It wisest to fix a term for the
least, twenty, thirty, or more years. This
dispute seems to be of much more acade
mic than practical interest. Thore should
be no disposition to change the lessee.
If a fixed term or lease Is decided upon.
the original lease should have an as
sured preferential right to a renewal
until the mine la worked out Bo that In
the; end the fixed term is a reservation
of the right on the part ot the govern
ment to make a new term at thp. end
of a number of years, a reservation
wh'ch could be fixed In an Indeterminate
leass.
"A fixed minimum annual royalty vfouid
' conduce the operation and prevent the
holding ot lands out of use. These are
matters, however, 'of regulation upon
whleh much thought should be expenJrd.
and the experience of other lands will be
found helpful. If the principle of the
homestead law Is adopted, and on lease
only permitted to any one person or
group of persons, and all leases msde
non-transferable, excepting with the con
sent of a designated authority, It would
seem that monopoly could be prevented.
I would, "however, add one other procau
tion that In each field a large body of
the coal land be reserved, no that the
publlo and the navy might be rendered
Independent Of private supplies If It
should become necessary."
Moprm to Hare I11U Passed
The, Alaskan coal-leasing bill Is further
advanced and will have legislative pre
cedence over the bUl relating to tn open
ing of the oil, coal, phosphate and potash
lands of the continental United States.
Mr. Lane hopes to have both ef the bills
passed, however, before adjournment.
The acute IntWeSt frit In these" measures
throughout the wet is refloctcd by the
members of the house and senate who
come from the slates on the ether side
of the Mississippi river.
The active propaganda ot the conserva
tionists has brought about tho beginning
of a popular appreciation of the extent
nnd value ot the oil deposits In ihe United
States. Secretary Lane has directed at
tention to tho absurdity of applying the
placer mining law to the development of
petroleum lands, as It Is applied nW.
The bills Just Introduced In the two
branahes of congress and outlined above
are designed to remedy this condition
and situation. i

twenty feet square, and not much higher

one window, plank floors and no base

of which It stands. Its sanitary provi

for breath," but It Is popular with tramps,
and since It -was opened about twenty
