Ballinger expands policy on public coal lands

The United States Geological Survey emphasizes coal land separation, highlighting higher-grade coal areas and minimum rates for low-grade beds amid notable increases in land values, including a Montana Roundup township example. The act allows entrymen to elect to acquire surface rights while coal rights are reserved for future disposition.
