An authoritative statement of the coal supply of the world shows that the United States has coal reserves exceeding those' of any other continent and nearly double those of Europe. The fact that we are a favored nation in this respect however, does not imply that we should not be on the alert to discover and put into op eration the best possible policy in regard to our coal lands, ana in determining this policy a com parison with the practices of oth er mining countries is helpful. Geological Survey Bulletin 505, "Minimr Laws of Australia ana New Zealand," contains much that is suggestive on the subject, and although it is not an ex haustive treatise, it is the best available collection of authorita tive data bearing on the practical working of mineral-land laws es sentially different from those of the United States, me ouneu.. not only gives in considerable de tail the special provisions, terms, and conditions of the different laws, as well as statistical mfor- mation regarding the extent of mining, but also contains much Smony by practical Austrahan and New Zealand inning men who are operating under these laws.
