The bill recently introduced by Senator Dolpb, with a view to cheap ening the cost of gold-bearing lands, is one of the measures needed to pre vent the entire coast from falling un der the burden of a vast coal monop oly, having its head bffloe in San Francisco. This syndicate is armed with so much wealth that no ordinary firm of average coal miners, or no or dinary company of average wealth, could hope to compete with tbem. In the meantime the price of coal is steadily ond slowly advancing in price as the forests aro being cleared away by the gradual settlement of tho country and wobd becomes scarcer as an article of fueL The law es originally framed charged S20 per acre for all coal-beanifg lands within fifteen miles of any operating railroad und $10 per acre for all coal lands outside of that distance. Mr. Dolpb. maintains tho some distinction between the locations and reduces the cost fifty per cent in each class. This legislation will inure directly to tho benefit of pr ctical miners and prospectors, for this reasen: The day has gone by when any mining property can be sold on the sf rength of its surface prospect or its "out croDnincs." as the pioneer element was wbnt to style tbe opening indica tions ! me mine, xo sen a miatiu day requires a great deal -of gatfeht labor and some .little capital to de velop it, for whether it be -gold, cor per, coal or eilveri the purchaser wants a thoroughly developed joro measure in sight before he will oonsider the idea of purchasing. Of course tbe prospector cannot -be allowed lb go on honeycombing the hillsides with holes dug upon tbe public lands; and he must purchase the land before be can hope to develop a tnuje." I is in the hope of bringing the public lands nearer within the reach of this hardy and enterprising class thai Mr. Dolpb has proposed this amendment to sec tion 5&i7 of the revised statutes, as the easiest way" of developing ooal measures that "are believed to exist in the counties of Benton, Clatsop and Tillamook in Oregon, as well as in the counties of Pacific and ChehalL? in Washington territory. Unless something of this sort is done, the Central Pacific coal ring, headed by Charles Urocker, will soon acquire either partial control or abso lute ownership -fc-all-the working coal properties on the coast len ears ago, Bicbard D. Chandler of San Franciso, was estimated to be worth about $200,000, and was doing a safe and conservative traffic m c al with the aid of ene small steamer. His earnings from these sources he put into some coal property in Nanai- mo whioh he subsequently sola to Crocker and the railroad syndicate, re-mvesting the proceeds in coal properties in the Puyalluy valley. These he in turn sold to the railroad nabobs at large prices, and to-day Chandler is among the millionaires of the Bay City. But we merely men tion these facts to show that the Cen tr .1 Pacific folks do not hesitate to pay the largest prices for coal proper ties, in order to control tho entire coal trade of the coast At present they are engaged in it chiefly to in sure cheap fuel for their locomotives, but as tbe traffic grows they will ulu- piately have an immense coal ring of their own. and control the price of ruei in every cny oeiwoen ouxa anu . . - - .. !. CI?. - i o San Dieso. It is with this view of oheokmating this stringent hardship upon the pro ducing classes that Senator Dolpb seeks to amend this law by affording prospectors and mining adventurers cheaper facilities for exploring the coast ranges of Oregon and Washing ton territory in search of the "black diamond." Should valuable coal measures become developed through this agency, in the mountains of Qlatsqp, Tftlamqok and Benton conn ties' we should pooa see not only a railroad from Corvallia to Yamuna bay. but also a road from Forest Gro7e down the Nehalem to the sea and around the beach to Astoria. Port land is now getting a very high order of lignite from lacoma for $7.59 per ton at retail, but with au equally good mine in the Nehalem valley she should be able to buy all she wants at $6. At present the price of "miqera lands is prohibitory, antf prevents qpy'mau of mo'derate means from go ing out to prospect ooal lands, and the man who ia rich already has not. as ageneralrule, any desire to risk his capital oa other men's experiments. The proposed reduction will, we are confluent, lead to inoreased prospect ins for coal in the coast regions of Oregon and Washington territory, and our state is certain to bj the gainer thereby.
