A synopsis from Woodford D. Harlan summarizes land and mineral rulings. Coal designation hinges on actual mining output or strong evidence of coal presence. Only the land office commissioner may allow contesting a final entry. Local officials lack authority to order final entry hearings. Second homestead entries may be allowed under the April 28, 1904 act for those who have previously made and abandoned earlier entries.
