Mineral land contest pits Montana convention against Northern Pacific
Hzumsa Mont Nov 28 The mineral land convention faces a hard clash with the Northern Pacific as it seeks title to lands already known to contain minerals. The dispute risks ruining miners who spent years developing claims. Montana has over sixty million unsurveyed acres, many mountainous and likely never surveyed without mining ventures. Survey reform is urged by Surveyor General Eaton who favors contracting directly with end-contractors. Next year’s appropriation totals 25000 dollars, with 15000 for Milk River Indian reservation, leaving little for other areas.
