REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Dbpartmbkt of the Interior,
Office of Indian Affairs,
WaaJUngtonj November Jf , 1910.
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the Seventy-ninth
Annual Beport of the Office of Indian Affairs covering the period
July 1, 1909, to June 80, 1910.
EMPIiOYEES.
Several changes in the policy of the service have been made with a
view to improving the personnel and increasing the efficiency of its
employees. The constant shifting of employees from one school or
agmcy to another has in the past been the bane of the Indian Service
personnel. For various reasons, either through the importunities of
the employees or their friends or on account of some dissatisfaction,
the pressure to make these changes has been exceedingly great The
evil has been largely eliminated by prohibiting transfers at indis-
criminate times during the fiscal year. This rule has been closely
adhered to with reference to the schools, with the consequence that
now these changes, with few exceptions, are limited to vacation
periods. The beneficial effects of this policy are far-reaching in that
it has eliminated from the minds of the employees ideas resulting
from a constant desire to change and has relieved the ofScers in
charge from the necessity of breaking in new people at any and all
times.
As a corollary of this plan the old system of granting promotiQus
at the beginning of each fiscal year has been done away with, and
now promotion is made whenever it is clearly shown that employees
are deserving of promotion. This idea is being carefully impressed
on the field service, and when thoroughly appreciated it undoubtedly
will have the effect of improving the personnel by inculcating greater
interest in the work.
There has been marked improvement in the method of handling
the employee personnel. Heretofore the record of employees has been
kept in large and cumbersome record books. These books have
been entirely eliminated and a complete card system installed. This
has meant an immense saving of clerical labor and will make the
records much more accessible. It also does away with the annual
transfer of the entire employee force from one book to another at the
beginning of eadi fiscal year.

A new system of reporting the efficiency of employees has been
installed. Instead of continuing the former arbitrary method of
rating each employee, the superintendent or other officer in charge
gives briefly, in a few strong descriptive words, a dear statement of
the employee's efficiency, ability, and industry. These are made on
separate sheets and filed in the status record of the employee. In-
specting officers are also nequired from time to time to make similar
reports on employees who have come under their observation. These
records are placed in the same file. In this way a complete descrip-
tive history of each employee is immediately available when the ques-
tion of promotion or transfer or change in position or salary
comes up.
The Civil Service Commission has given hearty cooperation to the
service in securing high-grade employees for appointment to the field
force. The limitations of that service and its difference from the
departmental service are given consideration and an earnest effort
has been made to provide eligible lists commensurate with practical
needs. The service recognizes the value of the merit system as ap-
plied to its work. The commission, on the other hand, also recognizes
the peculiar difficulties of the work and the liberal treatment required
in order to procure proper human material for the work of elevating
the Indian and conserving his property.
The rapid development of irrigation and allotment work in the
field has clearly shown the necessity for a modification of the usual
civil-service procedure in making appointments. This fact has been
recognized by the commission and a satisfactory arrangement has
been made by appointing local boards of examiners at various con-
venient points throughout the West. These boards conduct examina-
tions and maintain registers of eligibles for certain classes of posi-
tions, and appointing officers resort to them for material from which
to select their employees. These local registers are utilized for the
large bulk of appointments to positions not requiring clerical or
high-grade technical knowledge or experience. The results of this
method have been satisfactory and it will undoubtedly be further
developed in the future.
The merit system in and of itself can never provide a force of high
efficiency. The question of compensation is vital. The compensation
must be adequate for the work performed and at least equal to that
which the same grade of work commands in the ordinary business
world. Without this relative condition of salaries, it is not possible
for the Indian Service, with its hardships, its isolations, and its many
disagreeable features, to get the best material for its appointments.
The appointment of a special disbursing agent at Union Agency
deserves special attention because the plan is to be extended to other
large fields of the Indian Service as opportunity may arise. For

years the superintendent at Union Agency has been each year finan-
cially responsible for five or six million dollars, in the proper care of
whidi only the qualities of accuracy and integrity are required. The
disbursement of these funds necessarily took a large part of the time
which he, as the executive officer of the Indian Service among the
Five Civilized Tribes should have devoted to the broad questions of
general management, to decisions of disputed cases, and to careful
watching of the enormous business and human interests of these
Indians.
The mere manual labor of signing the immense number of checks
and petty details connected with them took nearly half of his time.
The special disbursing agent appointed this year will free the super-
intendent of this imnecessary waste of time and energy in the future.
This special agent is bonded in a sufficient amount to care for the
fiscal affairs of not only the Union Agency but of the educational
work which has been heretofore managed by a separate officer. The
superintendent in charge of the agency, as well as the supervising
officials in care of education, have been relieved of a tremendous
burden of detail and may now be, in fact as well as in name, the
executive and administrative officers representing the Government in
old Indian Territory.
FARMING.
The Indian Service realizes that instruction in farming is an
essential basic part of its present educational policy and is, there-
fore, making use of every possible resource in order to promote farm-
ing among the Indians. Farmers are employed on reservations to
teach the Indians how to farm according to the most improved mod-
em methods. Experimental farms have been established in different
sections to discover the best crops for the Indians of the district, to
improve the quality of the seed, and raise the standard of the prod-
uct. The cooperation of the Department of Agriculture and the
agricultural colleges and experiment stations of the various States
has been solicited, and valuable assistance and advice have been
procured from those sources in finding what class of cereals, plants,
fruits, berries, and other industries carried on by farmers were best
adapted to the various Indian reservations. Instruction in agricul-
ture is receiving new emphasis in the schools. The Indians are being
encouraged to hold agricultural fairs where their stock and produce
are exhibited. The standard of Indian live stock is being raised by
cooperation with the Bureau of Animal Industry.
A special examination was held by the Civil Service Commission
on March 30, 1910, for the purpose of procuring candidates for
appointment as expert farmer, and expert farmers were appointed at
the following reservations: Blackfeet, Colville, Fort Apache, Fort

Flambeau, Mescalero, Nevada, Tongue Biver, Sac and Fox of Okla-
homa, Shoshone, Southern Ute, Uintah, Warm Springs, White
Earth, Winnebago, and Yakima. A horticulturist was appointed
at the San Juan Agency.
As an example of the sort of result that may be looked for from
the experimental farms, I wish to call attention to the work of the
experimental farm at Sacaton, Ariz., in raising Egyptian cotton.
As a result of two years' experiment sixteen bales of a fine grade of
Egyptian cotton, weighing 8,886 pounds, were raised and ^pped to
New York markets. A small part of this cotton was raised at the
Phoenix School Reliable tests showed that this cotton was very
much stronger than ordinary southern cotton and averaged from one-
eighth to one-fourth of an inch longer, which made it especially
valuable for thread and fine qualities of cotton weaves. This cotton
was sold for 31 cents a pound. This price strikingly contrasts with
the ruling price for southern short staple cotton, which is 12 to 15
cents per pound. This cotton was raised through cooperative action
between the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Agricultural Depart-
ment and this office. The money and years of effort expended by
that bureau in testing Egyptian cotton in Arizona culminated in the
production of this quantity of a high grade of cotton. A great
opportunity is open for the superintendent of the Pima Reservation
on which this cotton was grown, to stimulate the Indians there to
successfully raise this high-grade cotton.
The importance of the agricultural fair as a means of stimulating
interest in farming among the Indians has been convincingly dem-
onstrated by its success among the Crows. Last year the superin-
tendents of the Tongue River, Fort Belknap, and Fwt Peck reserva-
tions in Montana, and the superintendent of the Fort Totten Reserva-
tion in North Dakota, attended the Crow fair, and reported that such
fairs are a benefit on those reservations that have opportunities for
growing field crops. The fair promotes healthy rivalry among In-
dians and furnishes a rational basis for meeting together, which
ought eventually to take the place of the indiscriminate gatherings
of Indians, whidi are usually productive of considerable harm. Fairs
were held last year at the following reservations: Crow, Capitan
Grande, Cheyenne and Arapahoe, La JoUa, Pine Ridge, San Juan,
and Southern Ute. Officers in charge of various reservations are
being encouraged to hold these agricultural fairs.
On several reservations conspicuous progress in farming has been
made during the year.
On the Fort Peck Reservation about 50 per cent of the male adult
Indians are cultivating their farms, and there is approximately 3,000
acres under cultivation, an increase of about 50 per cent over last

year. The largest area cultiyated by any one Indian is 200 acres.
Oats, potatoes, flax, wheat, and com are the principal crops grown.
The market is good. An elevator is now being constructed at Poplar
to handle the grain harvested in this vicinity. About 76 per cent
of the male adult Indians on this reservation raise stock, ranging
from 6 to 100 head each. They have a few more cattle than horses,
aggregating about 9,000 head.
On the Sisseton Beservation there are about 220 families engaged
in farming, an increase of 25 per cent over the number farming last
year. There are about 17,325 acres under cultivation, the best Indian
farmers cultivating from 80 to 390 acres. Many of their farms are
in excellent condition. Nearly all the Indian farmers have a few
head of cattle; during the last two years eight Indians began raising
horses. Two hundred and seventy families have distributed among
them about 1,800 head of cattle and 2,500 head of horses; the number
of horses on the reservation has increased about 50 per cent, and of
cattle about 26 per cent over the previous two years.
The Nez Perce Beservation, in Idaho, has 128,000 acres of allotted
land under cultivation. Considerable interest has been manifested
by the Indians in the planting of fruit trees and plants. One Indian
procured from the superintendent 150 fruit trees and planted all of
them in good shape. Marketing facilities are excellent.
On the Yakima Beservation, in Washington, there are 60,000 acres
under cultivation. Some white lessees of the reservation have estab-
lished what might properly be called " model farms," and the exam-
ple set by them is having a noticeable effect upon the Indians. They
are imbibing the progressive spirit, and are making rapid advance-
ment.
At the Winnebago Agency wonderful progress has been made.
Last year the Winnebagos cultivated only about 3,000 acres of allot-
ted land and it was done rather indifferently. During the present
year they have under cultivation more than 8,000 acres, mostly
planted in com, and it is reported to be fully as well cared for as the
crop of the average white man. About 75 per cent of the able-bodied
adults on this reservation are engaged in farming. Thirty-six of
them are farming during the present season for practically the first
time. The largest farm cultivated by a single Winnebago Indian
contains 200 acres, but many members of the tribe care for farms of
80 or more acres.
Complaint of the prevalence of glanders upon the Indian reserva-
tions of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and
Wyoming was made during the spring of this yoar. The state
authorities claimed that the disease was being spread by the sale and
shipment of Indian horses. The Bureau of Animal Industry, upon
request, agreed to make a thorough inspection of all Indian horses in

these States, and to take such action as was deemed necessary to
stamp oilt the disease. This work is in progress at the present time,
and very few diseased animals have been found, but all such have
been immediately killed and the carcasses burned.
EMPIiOTMENT.
The work of the Indian employment bureau has continued to
progress. The headquarters of the supervisor of Indian employment
are in Denver, Colo. He has four assistant supervisors, at various
points in the Indian country, and others will be provided as fast as
conditions warrant and funds are available.
One of the most interesting developments of the employment work
during the year has been the offer of two large railway systems to
provide opportunities for school boys who are learning trades or who
are mechanically inclined, and for returned students who have re-
ceived training in trades. This cooperation should give great im-
petus to industrial education among the Indians. It will mean that
good employment can be found for hundreds of Indian boys and
young men at fair wages in the shops of these railroads; at the same
time they will have an opportunity to thoroughly finish the learning
of their trades and make themselves competent, skilled workmen.
From one school alone, at its close this year, 3^ boys with trades
partly learned were sent to these shops.
The supervisor of employment has in other ways cooperated with
the work of the schools. Particular attention has been given to the
enlargement of the outing systems of the various reservation and non-
reservation boarding schools. Special efforts are being made to get
in communication with returned students. Last year the supervisor
wrote personal letters to over 600 returned students in which
he offered the services of the employment bureau in securing suitable
work.
I consider these developments to be of great significance. The sys-
tematic connecting of the industrial education of the schools with
the real work of the world will mean the dawning of a new day
in Indian education, and, from the human side, the bridging over of
that critical period in a boy's life when he leaves school and starts
to work is a service of far-reaching importance. Sympathetic direc-
tion during those two or three critical years will mean the economic
and moral salvation of many boys and young men.
A large number of Indians have been employed, as usual, on irriga-
tion works, railway construction, and other projects.
The " Two Medicine " irrigation project on the Blackfeet Reserva-
tion, Mont., is furnishing work for a large number of Indians. The
overseer in charge reports $53,805.94 earned by the Indians and their

BBPOBT OF THE C0MMIS8I0NEB OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. 9
teams during the last season. On May 14, 1910, 133 teams with In-
dian drivers and other Indian laborers without teams were at work
on the project. The drivers earned from $8.50 to $4 a day, and the
laborers from $2.24 to $2.40 per day.
The Ute Indians on the Uintah irrigation project earned $16,815.56
last season. This showed considerable progress among these Indians,
inasmuch as during the preceding year they earned only about
$8,856.48. For the month of April, 1910, these Indians earned
$4,992.89 on irrigation work in addition to a very satisfactory amount
in mining and other projects. The total earnings of the Ute Indians
on various projects this year were $26,476.82.
The district about Phoenix, Ariz., furnishes employment for a
large number of Indians in ditch and railroad construction, mining,
and general farm work. The monthly reports of the overseer for the
past year shows payment to the Indians as follows: October,
$14,579.65; November, $14,966; December, $16,078.12; January,
$14,699; March, $21,967.25; April, $20,694.94; total, $102,714.96.
The report for March, 1910, represents the earnings of 593 Indians.
Total earnings for the year, $189,783.94.
The number of Indians employed in logging and milling opera-
tions on the Menominee Reservation in Wisconsin averaged 236 per
month for the year; their total earnings for that period amounted to
$70,179.68.
The sugar-beet district about Rocky Ford, Colo., furnished em-
ployment for a large number of Indians, most of whom were boys
from the Indian schools in the Southwest. The amount earned by
these Indians during the past season was $19,868.80. This work is
of great educational value to the boys, as this district is one of the
best irrigated agricultural districts in the country, and all the boys
come from irrigable sections of the country and from reservations
having little or no opportunities of this kind ; thus their work will
be of the greatest value to them when they ultimately settle at home.
The assistant supervisor at Rocky Ford has his work well organ-
ized. He is in close touch with his entire district by telephone, and
is equipped to take care of any that are sick. He is in a position to
provide employment for Indians, especially returned students from
all reservations within a reasonable distance from Rocky Ford. Ar-
rangements have been made to place a number of boys with good
&rmers where they can work during the winter and attend public
sdiools.
HEAIiTH.
The Indian Service in its health work is not amiing merely to
more effectively care for and cure those that are sick. The reduc-
tion of the death rate is not its primary interest It is working

rather to increase the vitality of the Indian race and to establi^ for
it a new standard of physical well-being. The work is being scien-
tifically developed along lines which have already been successfully
tried out by modem preventive medicine. The principal featinres of
this work as it is now organized are: (1) An intensive attack upon
the two diseases that most seriously menace the health of the In-
dians— trachoma and tuberculosis; (2) preventive work on a large
scale, by means of popular education along health lines and more
effective sanitary inspection; (3) increased attention to the physkal
welfare of the children in the schools, so that the physical stamina
of the coming generation may be conserved and increased.
Special attention has been given to the treatment of trachoma dur-
ing the year. This was made possible by a special appropriation of
$12,000 made by Congress in June, 1909. A hospital was opened at
the Phoenix school and placed in charge of one of the best eye spt-
cialists in that section of the country. More than 700 cases were
admitted to this hospital for operative treatment during the year.
In addition to this, two expert physicians and a special nurse have
been placed in the field to treat those having the disease. They have
visited the various schools and agencies in the Southwest, where the
disease is especially prevalent, and after examining the Indians have
started appropriate treatment, which has been continued by the local
physicians. A third special physician entered on duty in the North-
west on June 1 of this year. The situation is still very serious. The
regular physicians have examined approximately 20,000 Indians, and
found about 20 per cent of them affected with the disease.
A special appropriation of $40,000 for the relief of distress and the
prevention of disease among the Indians will make it possible to
vigorously push this fight against trachoma and also to increase the
facilities for preventing the spread of tuberculosis. Satisfactory re-
sults in the treatment of tuberculosis are being obtained in sanatoria.
Special camps and sanatoria have been established at CJolville, Wash. ;
Fort Lapwai, Idaho ; Chemawa, Oreg, ; Phoenix and Fort Apache,
Ariz. ; and Laguna, N. Mex. The total number of patients admitted
for treatment was 117. Of this number 87 showed marked improve-
ment, some of them being completely recovered. Nineteen were
not improved, and 14 died. The sanatoria are being enlarged, and
new ones built just as rapidly as conditions will permit.
Systematic efforts are being made to educate the Indians in the
schools and on the reservations as to the best methods of treating
and preventing the spread of tuberculosis, trachoma, and other infec-
tious and contagious diseases. A manual on tuberculosis, its cause,
prevention, and treatment has been published by the medical super-
visor and distributed throughout the service. A series of illustrated
lectures for a traveling health exhibit are being prepared. A special
physician and photographer are in the field securing photographs

BBPOET OP THE COMMISSIONER OP INDIAN AFPAIBS. 11
from which these stereopticon slides and moving pictures can be
made. This exhibit will be sent to the different schools and reser-
vations. One of the most important results of this educational work
will be that it will instruct the employees at the schools and agencies
of the Indian Service as to the methods of preventing disease, and in
this way unite the entire service in the health campaign.
Increased attention is being given to sanitary inspection. It is
planned, wherever possible, to have a house-to-house inspection by
a physician of all Indian homes on a reservation. This will make it
possible not only to accurately learn the extent of disease and
provide for proper treatment, but it will also make it possible for
instruction to be given the Indians as to how they may improve the
sanitary conditions of their homes, and thereby prevent disease in
future. A beginning in this work was made last year on the White
Earth Reservation, where the need was pressing. Two special phy-
sicians were authorized to carry on the work. More than 200 homes
were visited and 1,266 persons examined. Of this number 690 had
trachoma and 164 tuberculosis in its various forms. Only 25 per
cent of the homes visited were considered sanitary. This work will
be vigorously followed up during the present year until the whole
reservation is covered. Arrangements have been made with the
Bureau of Animal Industry to make an inspection and test for
tuberculosis of all the dairy herds in tiie service. The sanitary
inspection of the equipment and methods for the production and han-
dling of the milk supply is included. This work is now in progress.
The medical supervisor is having the schools in the service sys-
tematically inspected with special attention to ventilation, disinfec-
tion, and personal hygiene. He has recommended, where prac-
ticable, the construction of screened porches for sleeping quarters for
pupils whose physical condition is not up to the standard. All
pupils presented for admission to a boarding school are given a
thorough physical examination. If a child is found to be affected
with any disease that would probably be made worse by attending
school or that would endanger the health of the other pupils he is
not admitted. Three of the reservations where the greater number
of day schools are located, namely, Cheyenne River, Pine Bidge, and
Bosebud, have a day-school physician, who makes r^ular visits to
each of the day schools under his supervision to look after the
health of the pupils and to see that proper hygienic and sanitary
conditions are maintained in the schools.
CANTON ASYLUM.
Belief is now in sight for the overcrowded conditions at the Canton
Asylum. There are 102 insane Indians in the United States. Sixty
of these are in the Asylum for Insane Indians at Canton, 24 are
being cared for in state asylums, and 18 are receiving no treatment at
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
12 BEPOET OF THE COMMISSIONSB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS.
alL An appropriation of $25,000 made at the last session of Congress
will permit of an addition which will provide room for all those in
need of immediate care and treatment, including the transfer of
those from the state institutions where formal requests have been
made. The office will also be able to provide wards for the special
treatment of cases of acute insanity and quarters for patients suffer-
ing from tuberculosis.
SUPPRESSION OF UQUOR TRAFFIC.
An appropriation of $60,000 was available for the suppression of
the liquor traffic among the Indians during the fiscal year. The
original appropriation of $50,000 was increased by an additional
$10,000 for the fiscal year 1911, which was made immediately avail-
able. As a result of this increased appropriation unusually extensive
operations were conducted covering practically every State of the
Union in which Indians resided. During the year 1,657 new cases
were placed on the dockets, 1,657 arrests were made, 747 indictments
secured, and 1,055 convictfons obtained. Cases against 280 persons
were dismissed and 23 persons were acquitted.
Special attention has been given to the sale of liquor to Indians
in Minnesota. In August the superintendent of the White Earth
Reservation served formal notice on all the saloon keepers in the
villages of the White Earth Reservation to close their places within
thirty days. After the thirty days had expired. Chief Special Officer
Johnson and his deputies closed the saloons in Mahnomen, Waukan,
and Calloway and destroyed about 1,300 gallons of whisky, for
which he and the nine deputies were imprisoned by the local authori-
ties, but were released on a writ of habeas corpus by the United
States court.
On September 17 the chief special officer sent out a circular calling
attention to article 7 of the treaty with the Chippewa Indians of
February 22, 1855, saying that thirty days after date the provisions
of that section would be enforced within that part of C|iss County
lying above township 138. This closed about 25 saloons. On No-
vember 25, 1909, and January 15 and April 8, 1910, more circulars
were issued extending the closed territory, to which the provisions of
the treaty of February 22, 1855, and October 2, 1863, would apply.
The following counties or parts of counties in Minnesota were
affected: Norman, Mahnomen, Clearwater, Beltrami, Itasca, Crow
Wing, Cass, Wadena, Ottertail, Clay, Becker, Hubbard, Polk, and
Red Lake.
About 100 saloons have been closed in this section, many gallons of
whisky destroyed, and many convictions secured. This vigorous
action has had great deterrent effect.

BEPOBT OF THE C0MMIS8I0NSB OF nn)IAN AFFAIRS. 13
The campaign has been markedly successful in arousing interest in
the Gbvemment's efforts to protect its wards tram the introduction
and sale of liquor. The interest was manifested in many com-
mendatory letters from local persons and others interested in the wel-
fare of the Indians. On the other hand, vigorous opposition has
been encountered from special interests and others who feel that the
Federal Gk>yemment should not interfere in such matters. This
opposition has crystallized into appeals to the President and other
prominent officers of the Gbvemment.
One of the most hopeful features of this work is the increasing co*
operation of the state officials in protecting the Indians from the
influence of liquor. In some States the officials have employed men to
discover those selling liquor to Indians. In others they have agreed
not to license any additional saloons, and in some States the county
officials have passed ordinances prohibiting the sale of liquor to
Indians.
The superintendents of the various reservations and schools are
realizing the importance of this work and many cases have been se-
cured by them independent of the operations of the chief special
officer. The superintendents in each State have been given copies of
the state laws on the sale of liquor to the Indians in order that they
may more intelligently work on local cases.
It is gratifying to find in a few cases that the Indians themselves
have circulated petitions addressed to the home city or town councils
asking that saloon licenses be revoked and the places closed.
An act was passed by Congress during the year, amending the act
of May 29, 1908, for the sale and disposition of a part of the Standing
Bock and Cheyenne Kiver reservations and provided that for a
period of twenty-five years the lands allotted, retained and reserved,
as well as the surplus lands sold, etc., shall be subject to all the
laws of the United States prohibiting the introduction of intoxicants
into the Indian country.
SCHOOIiS.
An improvement of signal importance has been made in the
administration of the schools of the service by providing for an
adequate system of supervision. The whole territory has been
divided into six supervisory districts with a supervisor in charge of
each. The districts are as follows: First district, New Mexico, Colo-
rado, Utah, and Wyoming; second district, Arizona, California, and
Nevada; third district, Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota; fourth
district, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana; fifth district,
North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other Eastern
States in which Indian schools are located; sixth district, Kansas
and Oklahoma.

A chief supervisor of sdiools has been appointed to have general
direction of all the supervisors. The work of these supervisors is not
to be inspection, they are to devote their .energies to constructive
work. By positive suggestions based upon a sympathetic under-
standing of each teacher^s problems, they should inspire the entire
school service to a new standard of efficiency. I also look for impor-
tant results in the way of bringing better order out of the present
unorganized condition of the school system.
A comprehensive survey of the condition of the schools throughout
the service was made last year. Out of a school population of about
40,000 (this does not include the T'ive Civilized Tribes), there are in
school 29,185, leaving out of school 10,815. Including public schools
within resLch. of Indian diildren, there are accommodations for 6,844
being unused, thus leaving 4,471 for whom there would appear to
be no school accommodations. The chief supervisor of schools is
of the opinion, however, that with the exception of the Navajos and
Apaches, all other Indian children can be well cared for in schools
already in existence. With the exception of these tribes there will
probably be no further need of new boarding schools.
A change was made during the past year in the basis of support
of the nonreservation boarding schools which will do away with
some serious evils of long standing. Hitherto the appropriation for
the support of nonreservation schools has been based upon the
number enrolled in the school. A per capita allowance of $167 was
granted each school for every pupil regularly enrolled. This com-
pelled the superintendents to keep up their attendance or face a
deficiency. Every child represented so much money for the main-
tenance of the school, and in many cases little regard was had for
the wdfare of the child. Many superintendents sent out agents into
the different Indian reservations to canvass for pupils for their
school. The activities of these agents upon reservations were often
very pernicious. Congress in the Indian appropriation act of this
year provides that all moneys appropriated for school purposes
among the lAdians shall be expended without restriction as to a
per capita expenditure for the annual support and education of
pupils. This will make it possible for the superintendents of the
nonreservation schools to devote all their energies to the education
of their pupils. The support of each school will be in accordance
with the efficiency and earnestness with which it does its work.
An event that will have important influence upon the work of the
schools was the conference of superintendents held in Washington
in December, 1909. In order that the field employees might have an
opportunity not only to discuss questi(ms with each other, but also
to become acquainted with the office force, I called about 85 reserva-
tion and nonreservation superintendents to meet in my office for a
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBPOBT OF THB CQMMISSIOKER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. 15
conference. The conference was in session four days, and the report
of its proceedings constitutes a contribution of great value to the
general subject of Indian education, and more especially with regard
to the problems of the nonreservation schools.
Progress is being made in the important work of more closely con-
necting the Indian schools with the public schools. The association
of Indian children with white children in the public schools, wherever
practicable, will be a definite means of promoting the assimilation of
the Indians into American life. During the last year about 3,000
Indian pupils were enrolled in the public schools, a remarkable
increase over previous years, most noted in California and Oklahoma.
The office is willing to pay a per capita tuition equal to the amount
apportioned by the State or county per pupil for all Indian pupils
enrolled in the public schools whose parents are not taxpayers.
Superintendents have readily seen the advantage to be gained by
such an arrangement.
There has been a marked example of cooperation in school matters
among the whites and Indians at Fort Lapwai, Idaho. An indus-
trial high-school plant is maintained there by the State of Idaho and
the Indian Office jointly. At the close of its first year there was an
attendance of more than 225 pupils, of whom over one-half were
' Indians. This school has the cooperation and support of the best
people in the community and the state school authorities. The State
pays part of the expense and the Government bears the expense of the
Indians-, each race being afforded equal opportunities as to instruc-
tion. It is found that the association of the two races in the same
schools is overcoming, in a great degree, the local prejudice of the
whites against the Indian.
As the districts in which Indian reservations are situated become
more thickly settled the, distribution of public schools is going to be
much more extensive, and the opportunities for the Indians to attend
public schools will be greatly increased. This will make necessary
various readjustments in the Indian school policy.
We have begun to prepare for these readjustments. During the
last year we adopted the state or local courses of study for the
Indian schools. In the manual for Indian schools recently issued
the reasons for this action are given as follows:
In order to give deflnitenese and true direction to the poUcy of Indian educa-
tion it seems highly desirable as a rule to make the course of study for each
Indian school conform to the course of study adopted by the State or county
in which it is situated. This will not only make it possible to increase the
general ^Elciency of Indian schools, but it wUl show the Indian children that
their schools are in aU essential points the same as those for white children.
They are already comparing their schools with those maintained by the States
and it ought not to be true in any community that they suffer by this com-
parison.

This plan of making the courses of study In Indian schools confonn to those
In the States in which the schools are located will place the teachers in the
Indian schools in closer touch with the teachers of the larger system of schools
for white childr^i, and will provide opportunities for the former to receive
inspiration and help from the teachers of non-Indian schools. It will make the
two school systems so nearly alike that Indian pupils may be easily transferred
to white schools as has already been done in a large number of instances; it
will also put the various Indian schools, particularly the day schools* in condi-
tion for future absorption into the state school systems, because of following
the same course of study and to a considerable extent the same series of
text-books.
We are planning to do more in the way of following up pupils
after they leave the schools, in order that they may be helped and
safe-guarded during the critical years in whidh they start to make
their own way in the world. The transition to the reservation is
many times rather violent for the pupil who has been carefully
sheltered in the nonreservation boarding school from the tempta-
tions of the world. Sympathetic guidance for the boys and girls
at this critical time is greatly needed. Mention has already been
made in this report of the way in which the cooperation of some
of the railroads with the employment bureau may help in this work.
I am trying, however, to work out a plan whereby the responsibility
of following up the students when they leave school will rest with
the superintendents of the schools. The essential features of the
plan are that the pupil, when he leaves the reservation, shall carry
a letter from the superintendent to the superintendent of the non-
reservation school, acquainting the latter with the essential facts in
the life of the pupil, and indicating the conditions on the reser-
vation to which he will return. The nonreservation superintendent
will then have some guidance in providing for that pupil the kind
of training that will best fit him for the conditions prevailing at
home. When a pupil leaves school h© will carry a letter to the super-
intendent of the reservation to which he returns, with directions that
it be presented immediately upon his arri^l. This will give the
home superintendent a splendid opportunity to gather from the
pupil an idea of his plans and prospects and to give the pupil whole-
some advice. It will open the way for the superintendent to keep a
fatherly eye on the boy until he gets well on his feet
With a view to improving the instruction along industrial lines
the chief supervisor of schools has prepared a series of bulletins for
the teachers of the service, which will be issued during the coming
year. They are as follows: (1) Farm and home mechanics; some
things that every boy should know how to do, and hence should learn
to do in school ; (2) some things that girls ought to know how to do,
and hence should learn how to do when in school; (3) outline lessons
in housekeeping, including cooking, laundering, dairying, and nurs-

BSPOBT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIB& 17
ing; (4) synopsis of the course in sewing; (5) social plays, games,
marches, old-folk dances, and rhythmic movements for use in Indian
schools.
These bulletins will be distributed only to teachers in the Indian
schools. As it is thought that there may be a public demand for
them, arrangements have been made for their sale by the superin-
tendent of documents.
ITie reorganization of the tribal schools among the Five Civilized
Tribes is ilow well under way. For many years there have been in
existence about 86 tribal boarding academies among these Indians,
originally established and conducted by the tribal authorities and
maintained from the tribal funds. Pursuant to the act of April 26,
1906 (84 Stat., 187-140), these academies were taken charge of by
the department and have been operated under contracts made with
the superintendents of the respective institutions. Contracts were
made also with various private and denominational schools, and
public day schools were conducted under a dual system of control by
which the department paid the salaries of the teacher for a part of
the school year, the state or district authorities maintaining the
school for the balance of the year. This system of conducting the
various schools among the Five Civilized Tribes has proved unsatis-
factory. During the early part of the year 1910 the department
and the Indian Office determined to discontinue the old system, and
in the future these schools will be operated directly under the super-
vision of the Indian Office and in substantially the same manner as
all other Indian schools in the service. The tribal schools have in
the past contributed materially to the advancement of the Five
Civilized Tribes and will remain the chief reliance of those Indians,
now numbering 86,000, whose lands are still restricted and who are
not citizens of the State, with the privilege of attending the state
schools.
The nomadic habits of the Navajo Indians make educational
facilities for these people at the present time largely a question of
boarding schools. Superintendents of the various Navajo reserva-
tions, without exception, report very few available day school sites.
This arises from the fact that the principal industry among the
Navajos is sheep raising. The range of the desert is such that in
order to gain subsistence for their sheep a large grazing territory
must be covered during the course of the year. Until such time as
water can be developed for irrigation and families located in com-
munities the matter of day schools in this part of the country is
considered by Navajo superintendents as impracticable. This makes
the educational question among the Navajos dep<ind largely upon
irrigatioiu
Digitized by VjQOQ IC
18 BEPOBT 07 THE OOMMI8SIOKEB GW INDIAN APFAIB8.
In order to fumiah educational facilities for a number of Navajo
children in any school it will probably be necessary to build a few
more boarding-school plants, with a capacity of from 150 to 200
pupils. A careful study of this situation is now being made.
During the past year nonreservation schools at Fort Shaw, Mont.,
Chamberlain, S. Dak., Fort Lewis, Colo., and Morris, Minn., were
discontinued. One new boarding-school plant at Chin Lee, N. Mex.,
was completed. Three day schools were discontinued during the
year and 28 new day schools opened, giving a total increase of 26
day schools during the past year.
Some of the more important changes during the year were as
follows:
The Rincon day school in California was discontinued, and the
Lidian children who formerly attended the school were placed in tiie
public schools in that community.
A superintendency was established last year at Upperlake, CaL
It will include Ukiah, Potter .Valley, and the Indians in and about
these points.
A superintendency has been established at Roseburg, Oreg., to
afford better protection to a large number of Indians not under the
jurisdiction of the various superintendents in Oregon.
The location of the agency headquarters for the Coeur d'Alene
Reservation in Idaho will be moved from Tekoa, Wash., to the
reservation proper. A new site has been reserved for agency pur-
poses on the reservation and arrangements have been made to trans-
fer the headquarters as soon as new buildings can be constructed.
The San Xavier Mission day school was transferred to the Gov-
ernment during the year. The buildings were leased by the Govern-
ment and the employees — three teachers and one housekeeper — ^listed
on the civil service roll March 1, 1910.
The department changed the name jot the Puyallup School to
Cushman School at the request of the Tacoma Commercial Club and
Senator Jones, of Washington, in honor of the late Francis W.
Cushman, former Representative from Washington.
The Salt River Reservation has been separated from Pima Agency
and placed imder the jurisdiction of the Camp McDowell superin-
tendent. The property and employees of the Salt River and Lehi
day schools have been transferred to Camp McDowell. One large
new day-school plant is contemplated at Salt River to accommodate
the Camp McDowell Indians who took allotments at Salt River. The
Red Moon boarding school at Hammon, Okla., has been discontinued
and a day school established in its stead. It is purposed to transport
pupils to and from the school daily if it is found that this is necessary
and practicable.
Authority has been obtained to lease with the option of purchasing
at $10,000, at any time within the next five years, 62 acres of land and

landed improyements known as the Berger property, at San Xavier,
Ariz. This will supply quarters for the agency employees with facili-
ties for instructing the agency boys in farming, care of stock, etc.
The Arapaho Boarding School was sold during the year, in accord-
ance with the act of May 29, 1908 (84 Stat., 444), and the amendment
thereto of January 31, 1910, which provided for the sale of the school
and the land, comprising about one section, in which the school build-
ings are situated. This sale has been made for the sum of $73,800,
of which $25,000 has been pai^ in cash. Two schools have hitherto
been conducted for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians near Dar-
lington, Okla. ; the Arapaho Boarding School, originally established
in 1872, which has just been sold, and the Cheyenne Boarding School,
establi^ed in 1880. The latter is a small plant quite insufficient to
accommodate all the pupils formerly provided for at both places.
The proceeds of the sale of the Arapaho school, however, are to be
used for the enlargement and improvement of the Cheyenne Con-
solidated School. The work of building up a complete plant suffi-
cient to provide for all the Indian children who look to this institu-
tion for their education has been commenced and will be pushed to
completion as fast as funds for the purpose become available.
CONSTRUCTION.
This section has prepared the plans and supervised the construc-
tion of a great variety of buildings during the year. Particular at-
tention has been given to the problem of introducing a uniform type
of building for the service, which will, at the same time, be easily
adapted to meet the varying needs of different localities. The pre-
vailing type of building in the future will be a substantial one-story
structure with good light and ventilation, characterized by an absence
of plumbing in the basement, and with toilets and baths installed in a
conveniently located anneic
A special feature of the work of this section has been the prepara-
tion for the service of a series of plans, specifications, and forms of
contract suitable for the use of Indians who wish to erect simple
dwellings, bams, etc These plans will be a great help to the super-
intendents on many reservations who are striving to teach the Indians
to use their surplus funds for the erection of buildings and the mak-
ing of similar permanent improvements upon their property. A
good variety of plans is presented, and they are sufficiently elemen-
tary for the Indians to obtain an instructive lesson in all the busi-
ness connected with building operations.
PURCHASE SECTION.
Before the preparation of the usual proposals for supplies, con-
tractors and other persons interested in bidding on Indian supplies
were invited to submit suggestions for an improvement of the methods
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
20 B£POBT OF THS COMMISSIONEB OF INDIAN AFFATRft.
of purchasmg and of making specifications. Where practicable and
for the best interests of the service their suggestions for changes in
specifications were adopted, in order that the terms used might more
closely conform to trade terms, and that the requirements of the
service might be made more clear to bidders.
A change in date for the annual estimate from January 1 to Novem-
ber 1, which was made last year, has been a decided improvement.
Preparations for the annual estimate and the contract lettings are
now made sufficiently early in the year to allow the manufacture of
articles and the delivery of supplies before the opening of the schools
in the fall.
There has been considerable complaint from some dealers that
the proposals for furnishing goods and supplies by the requirement
of delivery in New York, Chicago, St Louis, Omaha, or San Fran-
cisco precluded them from successful competition with other bidders.
To remedy any seeming discrimination the proposals were changed
so as to permit bidders to designate in their bid delivery at any
other point than those named by them, the Government reserving
the right to- call for the delivery of such quantities at any of the
points named by the bidder in case more than one point was speci-
fied in the bid. This change has in no way worked to the detriment
of the Government, and seems to be satisfactory to the dealers.
SUPPLIES.
An important change in the method of buying coal was instituted
during the year. Formerly bids for furnishing coal omitted all
special conditions as to heat units, ash, etc., but this year the speci-
fications required bidders to state clearly the commercial names of
the coal offered, the location of the mine or mines, and to guarantee
the per cent of " ash " and " dry coal " and " British thermal units "
as received. As a result of this change only 43 bids were received
this year, as against 154 bids received the year before, and a num-
ber of the 43 bids received failed to comply with the terms of the
specifications, necessitating their rejection. Wherever it was foimd
impracticable to make awards by reason of the failure of the dealers
to submit bids or comply with the terms of the specifications, fuel
will be furnished under local contracts according to the old method.
Although the practical value of this new system has been thor-
oughly demonstrated in other branches of the Government and in
large corporations and municipalities, its introduction into the In-
dian Service is experimental. The theory is correct, and if properly
employed can be made to work in the service. While the first cost
per ton may exceed that under the old system, yet its absolute fair-
ness to the seller and the buyer, in securing the best results from a
given expenditure of money, makes it worthy of careful trial. To dp

this it will be necessary to determine what fuels are best adapted to
the plant equipment of each school, and also to educate the coal deal-
ers themselves as to the quality of the coal which they have to offer.
The technologic branch of the United States Geological Survey
has had large experience in the testing of coal for its heat values, and
has extended hearty cooperation to the Indian Office in the prelimi-
nary changes incident to the new system. The Bureau of Mines,
^hich has taken over the work of the technologic branch, will make
all necessary analyses and tests required for thoroughly determining
the practicability of the plan.
IRRIGATION
There are millions of acres of irrigable lands in Indian reserva-
tions. Thus far, about 160,000 acres have been irrigated; of this
number 118,640 acres have been irrigated by Indians and 42,080 by
white lessees and purchasers.
The act of June 25, 1910, has bearings of great consequence upon
the irrigation of Indian lands. This act safeguards the water inter-
ests of Indians on unallotted lands that are opened before an irriga-
tion project can be constructed, and it also makes reservoir and water-
power sites on lands already allotted fully available for irrigation
purposes.
The act provides that if any irrigation project prior to the open-
ing of any Indian reservation containing power for reservoir sites,
be authorized, the Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion,
reserve such sites pending further legislation by Congress for their
disposition. The act also provides for the cancellation of Indian
allotments valuable for reservoir or water-power sites, the Indian
allottee, of course, being protected by the requirement that he shall
receive a proper payment for his improvements and lieu allotment
of land of equal value within the irrigated area created by the
reservoir.
The total appropriations for irrigation purposes for the past year
amounted to $875,730, of which $325,000 was by act of March 3, 1909.
made immediately available.
Work on the various reservations has been carried on as fast as
funds available and the legal difficulties would permit, as is shown
in the following summary of the work :
ABIZONA.
GUa River Reservation. — ^The hydro-electric pumping stations are
in the course of construction. The initial plant is now in successful
operation and giving most satisfactory results. Other stations will
be completed in the near future. This work is being constructed by

the Reclamation Service. The cost of this project was $123,075.71
for the year.
Navajo Reservation. — At Wheatfields Superintendent of Irrigation
Robinson completed work on a small storage reservoir. The smn of
$534 was expended on this project during the year.
At Tuba the sum of $6,969.35 was expended in the construction of
a loose rock diversion dam, a concrete head gate, and about 1,800
feet of new canal. The new work diverts water to the agency farm
and to the lands farmed by the Navajos, who have placed 150 acres
under cultivation since construction started.
Four 12-inch wells have been driven to bed rock at Leupp for the
benefit of the school and for .determining the feasibility of obtaining
water for irrigation. The total cost was $3,904.66.
CALIFbBNIA (MISSION INDIANS).
During the year work was prosecuted at Campo, Pechanga,
Morongo, San Manuel, Soboba, and Cabazon reservations; also in
sec. 30, T. 5 S., R. 7 E., San Bernardino meridian, the total expendi-
ture being $25,547.99, of which amount the sum of $6,421.21 was paid
for Indian labor.
COLORADO.
Southern TJte (aZZ(?^^«(i).— Surveys have been made for continuing
construction work, and some little construction has been done during
the year. Expenditures for the surveys and construction amount to
$1,780.95.
IDAHO.
Fort Ball project— K total of $197,583.88 was expended on the
construction of the various features of this project, which are as
follows : Extension and enlargement of the upper canal, laterals and
minor concrete structures, reinforced concrete siphon, concrete head
gates, and the Blackfoot dam. The amount paid for Indian labor
during the year was $9,316.08.
MONTANA.
Crow Reservation. — ^The sum of $51,638.85 was expended on
this project during the year, $15,745.11 of which was paid for main-
tenance. The amount paid for Indian labor and teams was $27,480.13.
The chief new work performed was the extension of the agency
canal and the construction of laterals under the Two Leggins and
Big Horn canals. The irrigable land now under the various canals
is estimated at 69,340 acres, of which 27,417 acres are irrigated. A
large percentage of the land irrigated is for the purpose of native
hay only.

BBPOBT OF THE COMMISSIONEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 23
Fort Belknap Reservation. — ^The work on this reservation during
the year was the enlargement, extension, improvements and main-
tenance of the Milk River Canal System. The total cost for the year
was $25,432.65, of which Indians received for labor and teams
$17,323.22. The nmnber of acres irrigated on the project is estimated
at 16,000.
Tongue River project. — ^The work on this project was concentrated
on the completion of the first 7 miles of the main canal, the lateral
system, and structures under it. The amount expended during the
year was $30,217.23, of which $8,011.72 was paid for Indian labor
and teams. The cost of this project has been high owing to its
isolated location and character of labor, unfavorable topographic
conditions, and the fact that the canal and all structures are con-
structed with a capacity sufficient to irrigate the entire contemplated
project The number of irrigable acres under the canal is 896. Thirty-
nine Cheyenne Indians have been given 20-acre tentative allotments.
This is the first experience of Cheyennes in farming, and they have
done remarkably well, raising com, potatoes, beets, cabbage, squash.
and turnips. Tlie project can ultimately irrigate 6,000 acres of land
Blackfeet project. — ^This project is being constructed by the Recla-
mation Service. Expenditures for the fiscal year 1910 amount to
$123,212.02.
Flathead project. — On this project $174,318.53 was expended by
the Reclamation Service during the year.
Fort Peck. — ^This project is also being constructed by the Reclama-
tion Service. The expenditures for the year were $36,235.25.
NEVADA.
Walker River project. — During the year the work consisted mainly
in the extension of the main canal No. 2, and the construction of the
requisite lateral system. This system as constructed will irrigate an
area of 4,199 acres. The cost of the work during the year was
$15,663.27, of which sum the Indians received $8,918.34.
Fort McDermitt Reservation. — Some minor work was performed
at this point in the enlargement and the extension of two canals con-
structed some years ago. The total cost for the year was $1,218.95,
which was chiefly paid to the Indians.
NEW MEXICO.
JicarUla and Apache reservations. — Survey^^ were made and plans
prepared for the construction of ditches and a siphon line. Six
hundred and ninety-two dollars and twenty cents was expended on
the surveys and some little construction.
Navajo Reservation. — ^A small project at a point known as Seven
Lakes was practically completed at a cost of $312.36.

San Juan project. — On the ccxistniction of the Hogback Canal
$20424.10 was expended, which, whoi completed, will irrigate ap-
proximately 8,900 acres.
Zwni Reservation. — ^During the year the smn of $45,094.51 was ex-
pended for maintenance, construction, and repairs to the damaged
dam, of which $17,999.22 was paid for Indian labor and teams.
UTAH.
Uintah project. — ^The cost of the Uintah project for the year was
$143,991.86, out of which $16,349.57 was paid for Indian labor and
teams. It is estimated that 86,000 acres can be irrigated by the
project, as constructed. Approximately 11,000 acres of the Indian
lands are now being irrigated.
WASHINOTON.
Yakima Reservation {irrigation). — The sum of $22,853.18 is the
aggregate of the distributed costs on this reservation for the year, of
which $6,691.71 was paid to the Indians for labor and teams. The
total area of irrigated lands is 37,488 acres.
Yakima Reservation {drainage). — Several thousands of acres of
land are being ruined by the rise of the water plane, due to the irri-
gation of the lands above, and a drainage project is being inaugu-
rated for the protection of this land. During the year $1,425.87 was
expended on surveys for the various drains.
WYOimra.
Wind River Reservation. — ^The chief work on this reservation has
been the enlargement and extension of the old canal, and the construc-
tion of 75 concrete and timber structures at a total cost of $82,520.76,
of which the Indians were paid $35,401.33 for labor and teams. It is
estimated that 48,699 acres are irrigated by this system.
MISCELLANEOTTS.
During the past year investigations and reports were made on the
following projects: Sherman Institute, Capitan Grande, Mesa
Grande, San Pasqual Valley, Pala, La JoUa, Campo, and Morongo
reservations, in California ; Gila Bend, Colorado Eiver, and Navajo
reservations, in Arizona ; Zuni and San Juan, in New Mexico ; South-
em Ute, in Colorado; Pine Ridge, S. Dak.; and Pyramid Lake,
Walker River, and Moapa, in Nevada.
FORE8TRT.
The timber holdings of the Indians are of great value, having
been estimated at thirty-six and one-half billion feet (board meas-
ure), with a value of $73,000,000. Approximately five and one-half
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
BBPOBT OF THB COMMISSIOKEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 25
billion feet of the timber, valued at $12,000,000, are on allotted lands,
and thirty-one billion feet, valued at $61,000,000, on unallotted lands.
The service means to protect and develop these holdings by modem
methods and in line with the best thought and experience in forestry,
and at the same time so to instruct the Indians in the practical use
of their timbered lands that they may receive from them the greatest
benefit possible. Under the plan of organization, a forestry section
has been established in the Indian Office for th6 purpose of segregat-
ing all timber matters in one unit.
The plan of field organization includes a forester having a prac-
tical and technical knowledge of the subject, responsible to the Com-
missioner of Indian Affairs for all timber matters, and a sufficient
force of trained and experienced assistants to insure a management
of the forests which shall be sound in theory, and economically profit-
able.
At the present time the timber on all reservations is under the
jurisdiction of the superintendents, who manage the forest on their
respective reservations with the advice of special forestry experts.
A plan has been instituted for determining the amount of timber
on each reservation. Statistics are being gathered not only relative
to the amount and value of the timber, but studies are being made of
the nature of the timber and the conditions prevailing on the several
reservations, with a view to furnishing reports which will form a
basis for the intelligent control and development of each forest
Much attention is being given to planning adequate protection for
this wealth of timber. Patrol districts have been arranged for
forest guards, and during the dry period of the past year 109 forest
guards were employed on 42 reservations in 16 different States.
Telephone lines have been constructed on a number of reservations
with convenient stations within the several patrol districts, so that
the superintendent can receive prompt notification of fires. The
total amount expended in the erection of telephone lines, cabins, and
corrals is approximately $40,000. A system pf fire reports has been
instituted, by which the superintendent may advise the office im-
mediately of the estimated amount of damage of every fire and the
cost of extinguishing it. Indians are employed as forest guards
wherever such employment is practicable, and the regular Indian
police force is utilized for forest protection.
The forestry work of the office will be materially helped by the
legislation of the past year. The act of June 25, 1910 (86 Stat.,
855), so amended the penal laws of the United States that it became
a serious offense to unlawfully cut or wantonly injure timber on
Indian reservations, as well as to set a fire on Indian reservation
forests without exercising due care to extinguish the same. This act
also authorizes the Secretary of the Interior under such regulations
Digitized by VjOGQ IC
26 BEPOBT OF THE COMMIS8IONEB OF INDIAN AFFAlBfl.
as he may prescribe to sell the mature living timber, as well as dead
and down timber, on the unallotted lands of any Indian reservation,
except those within the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and upon
allotments of Ijidians held under trust or other patents containing
restrictions upon alienation. This general provision, however, will
not supersede antecedent special acts in conflict therewith. Hereto-
fore the oflSce has had general authority to sell for the Indians dead
and down timber only, except where timber was cut from Indian
allotments for the purpose of clearing the land for agricultural use.
Under the new law the forest work on Indian reservations can
ultimately be made self-supporting and ample funds obtained to
develop the forests to their greatest productivity.
The principal logging operations upon Indian reservations during
the past year were as follows:
Bad River Reservation, — ^Ten new contracts were entered into with
the J. S. Steams Lumber Company, authorized contractors, by allot-
tees of this reservation; 62,407,735 feet of timber were cut from
allotted lands, and 23,520,735 feet from unallotted lands, a total of
85,928,470 feet, valued at $607,066.52.
Lac Courte Oreille Reservation, — Thirty-two contracts were ap-
proved with Signor, Crisler & C!o., the authorized contractors, by id-
lottees of this reservation; 7,331,875 feet of timber were cut during the
year, valued at $22,484.57. The following is a statement of the funds
derived from the sale of timber, on June 30, 1910 :
Balance due from contractor, 1909 $3, 163. 20
Accrued from sale of timber, 1910 22, 484. 67
Total 26, 647. 77
Deposited In bank to credit of Individual Indians 20, 974. 73
Balance due from contractor, June 80, 1910 4, 733. 04
Fond du Lac Reservation. — Martin Brothers, the official con-
tractors on the Fond du Lac Reservation, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Interior, transferred their contracts to William
O'Brien. One hundred and eighty-four contracts were made with
the Indians of this reservation during the year. There were
9,063,640 feet of timber cut and removed, valued at $92,649.85.
Leech Lake Reservation. — One new contract for sale of timber was
made during the year, 21 contracts were completed. Collections
were made during the year for 5 timber trespasses. There is now
pending a settlement with the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie Railroad Company for timber cut on their right-of-way
through 17 Indian allotments.
There were 2,298,460 feet of timber, 121 cords of mixed wood, 152
cords of Jack pine, 1,277 cedar poles cut during the year. The simi
of $12,203.74 was collected and deposited to the credit of the indi-
vidual Indians. The total amount of proceeds from sale of timber cm

BEPOBT OF THE COMMISSIONEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 27
deposit to the credit of individual Indians on June 30, 1910, was
$82,124.20.
Ceded CJUfpewa Indian lands. — ^During the year there were cut
from the ceded Chippewa lands in Minnesota 87,522,240 feet of tim-
ber, 821f cords of wood, and 1,561 posts and poles from which the
sum of $524,414 was received. The total amount of timber cut from
these lands to July 1, 1910, was 822,722,613 feet, 446J cords of wood,
and 1,561 posts and poles valued at $5,312,334.65. The total expense
of operation to July 1, 1910, including salaries paid, was $224,915.56,
leaving a profit of $5,087,419.69.
Menominee. — During the period November 1, 1909, to June 30,
1910, 17,786,308 feet of lumber, 621,050 lath, and 442,250 shingles
were sawed at the mill on this reservation. There were shipped
and used in construction work 12,068,512 feet of lumber, 1,580,900
lath, and 1,798,850 shingles, and at the close of the fiscal year there
were on hand 22,178,966 feet of lumber, 795,150 lath, and 574,750
shingles. From the sale of lumber, lath, shingles, and wood $144,-
845.16 was realized, and $6,782.70 from the sale of logs.
The cost of the operations from November 1, 1909, to the close of
the fiscal year was $286,004.90; of this amoimt $44,569.88 was earned
by Indians.
POPUIiATION.
The Government no longer looks upon its duty to the Indians as
merely involving an honest accounting for its trusteeship of Indian
lands and funds. It considers the trusteeship of this property as the
means of bringing the Indian to a position of self-reliance and inde-
pendence where he may be able to accept the opportunities and
responsibilities of American citizenship.
In all questions relating to the management of Indian properties
the problem of the Indian Office under the direction of the Depart-
ment is to find that method or combination of methods which is not
only transparently just and honorable, but which is at the same time
educative and capable of inspiring the Indian to greater personal
effort. Important progress is being made in this direction. A case
in point is the commutation of annuities. The perpetual annuities
provided for in the treaties of various groups of Indians have been a
great bar to the Indians' progress. These annuities have tended to
keep the Indian in a condition of dependence, as they assured him of
an income without labor or effort.
During the past year Congress by the act of April 4, 1910 (36 Stat.,
269), commuted the annuities of the Sac and Fox Indians of Okla-
homa and Iowa, and the Pottawatomies of Kansas and Wisconsin.
An appropriation of $200,758 was made for this purpose, and provision
was made authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw this

•28 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OP INDIAN AFFAIRS.
money from the Treasury for payment to the Indians or to be ex-
pended for their benefit in such manner as he may deem proper.
Agreements had previously been made with these Indians by special
agents of the office, under authority of the act of Congress approved
April 30, 1908. .There are now five tribes receiving cash annuities
under treaty stipulations, for which no principal fund has ever been
appropriated and deposited in the Treasury. The amounts to be
appropriated by Congress to provide for the commutation of the
perpetual annuities of these tribes are as follows : Oneidas, Wiscon-
sin, $20,000; Pawnees, Oklahoma, $600,0Q0; Choctaws, $192,000;
Senecas of New York, $120,000; Six Nations of New York, New
York branch, $70,000. Agreements for the commutation of these
annuities have already been made with the Oneidas and Pawnees.
An attempt was made during the past year to make a payment to
the Seneca Indians of New York, in accordance with a provision in
the Indian appropriation act approved March 3, 1909 (36 Stat., 785),
in which the Secretary of the Treasury was directed to place upon
the books of the Treasury to the credit of the Seneca Indians of
New York the sum of $118,050, to bear interest at the rate of 5 per
cent. This amount represents the value of certain stocks held in trust
for the Indians and taken by the- United States and canceled under
authority of the act of June 27, 1846 (9 Stat., 35). Instructions
were issued for the preparation of a roll for the payment, but owing
to a protest by a faction of the tribe work on the roll was suspended.
Further action in the distribution of the fund will not be taken by
the office until it can definitely ascertain the views of the Indians
on the subject. The matter is now in the hands of a departmental
inspector for adjustment.
liAND.
The essential feature of the Government's great educational pro-
gram for the Indians is the abolition of the old tribal relations and
the treatment of every Indian as an individual. The basis of this
individualization is the breaking up of tribal lands into allotments
to the individuals of the tribe. This step is fundamental to the pres-
ent Indian policy of the Government. Until their lands are allotted,
the Government is merely marking time in dealing with any group
of Indians.
An improvement of great importance has been made during thiB
past year in the allotment work. I refer to the appointment of a
supervisor of allotting agents. The most important feature of his
work will be the introduction of a uniform system of allotment work
on all reservations, subject only to such modifications as may be
caused by local conditions. He will be of great help in solving spe-
cial difficulties and complications that arise in the various districts.

This superyision of the work in the field will not only make for
greater administrative efficiency, but the improvements introduced
will also reduce the cost of the work.
The status of the work in field may be briefly summed up as fol-
lows:
Mogui^ Arts.— The act of March 1, 1907 (34 Stat, 1021), provides
for allotment in such areas as the Secretary of the Interior might
determine. On February 26, 1909, the department authorized allot-
ments of 40 acres of agricultural and 320 acres of grazing land to
each Indian on this reservation. Special Allotting Agent Matthew
M. Murphy has, thus far, made tentative allotments to 2,630 Indians,
covering 893,957 acres, at a cost of $29,072.01, the approximate cost
per allotment being $11.05. It is estimated that there are 1,600 In-
dians yet to be allotted.
Navajo extension^ Arizona and New Mexico. — Special Allotting
Agent Joseph Q. Kent has been engaged during the past year in
making allotments within that part of the extension to the Navajo
Reservation created by executive orders of November 9, 1907, and
Jahuary 28, 1908, lying within New Mexico. Mr. Kent practically
completed the allotment work within that part of the extension in
New Mexico in May, 1910, and as soon as the allotments made by him
to these Indians are approved, the surplus unallotted lands will be
restored to the public domain as required by the act of May 29, 1908
(35 Stat, 457). Allotments within that part of the extension in
Arizona have not been completed owing to the fact that all of the
lands lying therein have not been surveyed by the General Land
Office. It is expected that this work and the allotment work will be
completed during the present fiscal year.
Round Valley J Cdl, — ^During the past year Special Allotting Agent
Horace J. Johnson completed the work of allotting the lands re-
served for tribal purposes for the Round Valley Indians, under the
provisions of the act of October 1, 1890 (26 Stat., 658). Allotments
of approximately 50 acres each were made to 614 Indians, covering in
the aggregate some 36,692.23 acres.
White Earthy Minn. — On December 20, 1909, a supplemental sched-
ule of original allotments to 214 Indians on this reservation were
approved by the department, and on the same date a schedule of 271
additional allotments were approved. The original allotments com-
prise 21,301.82 acres, and the additional allotments cover 16,812.84
acres. The original allotments were made under the act of January
14, 1889 (25 Stat., 642) ; the additional allotments being made under
the provisions of the act of April 28, 1904 (33 Stat., 539). It is be-
lieved that the allotment work on this reservation will be completed
daring the present fiscal year, and when finished there will be but

little, if any, surplus land within the reservation other tiian that
claimed by the State as swamp land.
Blackfeet, Mont.—Th^ act of March 1, 1907 (34 Stat, 1035), au-
thorizes allotments of 40 acres of irrigable land and 280 acres of
grazing land, or, at the option of the allottee, 320 acres of grazing
land to each Indian. Special Allotting Agent Charles E. Roblin has
been at work on this reservation during the past year and has com-
pleted allotments covering 505,539.16 acres to approximately 1,300
Indians. Owing to the latitude of this reservation, it is impossible
to do any field work during the winter months. To hasten the com-
pletion of the allotment work, Mr. Thralls W. Wheat, formerly sur-
veyor under Special Allotting Agent Roblin, was appointed a special
allotting agent to assist in the prosecution of the work during the
sununer season when field work is possible. It is believed that the
work connected with allotments to these Indians will be completed
before winter.
Fort Peck^ Mont, — On September 26, 1909, Special Allotting Agent
Fred C. Campbell took up the allotment work to Indians on the Fort
Peck Reservation under the provisions of the act of May 30, 1908 (36
Stat., 558). This act authorizes allotments of 320 acres of grazing
land, and in addition thereto, not to exceed 40 acres of irrigable land
and not less than 2i nor more than 20 acres of timber land to each
Indian; provision being made also for the disposal of the surplus
lands after allotments have been completed. Up to July 1, 1910, Mr.
Campbell had made allotments to approximately 1,000 Indians. As
there are in the neighborhood of 2,000 Indians on this reservation
entitled to allotments, it is not believed that the allotment work will
be completed prior to the closing of the summer season of 1911.
Carson Sink^ Nev. — ^During the past year allotments of 10 acres of
irrigable land were approved to some 322 Indians within the Truckee-
Carson irrigation project in Nevada. There remain about 1,500
acres under this project within the seven and one-quarter sections
reserved for allotment purposes which it is expected will be allotted
to the remaining Indians of the Paiute tribe during the present fiscal
year.
Jicarilla, N. Mex. — The allotments made to the Indians on this
reservation under the provisions of the act of March 1, 1907 (34
Stat, 1413), were approved by the department on August 28,^1909,
the allotments being to some 797 Indians, covering an area of 354,294
acres.
Fort Berthold^ N. Dak. — Former Special Allotting Agent John
P. Young, who was engaged in making allotments to Indians on this
reservation under the provisions of the act of March 1, 1907 (34
Stat., 1042), was relieved from duty on November 1, 1909, and the
surveyor, Mr. Theodore N. Engdahl, was directed to revise and
Digitized by VjOOQ IC

check the schedule of allotments made by the former alloting agent.
Prior to the time of being relieved from duty allotments were made
to some 296 Indians, covering an area of 20,240 acres. There re-
main about 60 Indians entitled to allotments under the act of
March 1, 1907, who have not as yet had lands assigned to tl^em.
The act of June 1, 1910 (36 Stat, 455) authorizes an additional
allotment of 160 acres of agricultural or 320 acres of grazing land
to each Indian on the Fort Berthold Reservation; the act provides
also for the disposal of the surplus lands within that part of the
reservation lying north and east of the Missouri River. It is the
intention of the office to have the superintendent of the Fort Berthold
Indian school, under authority found in section 9 of the act of June
26, 1910 (36 Stat., 858), to complete the allotment work on this
reservation under the act of June 1, 1910.
Standing Rock^ N. Dak. — Former Special Allotting Agent Carl
Gunderson, now supervisor of allotting agents, during the early fall
of the past year completed the allotment work on this reservation to
all unallotted Indians then living. The act of May 29, 1908 (35 Stat,
444, 451), authorizes allotments to children bom to members of any
of the tribes on the various reservations into which the former Great
Sioux Reservation was divided by the act of March 2, 1889 (25
Stat, 888), so long as the tribes living thereon remain possessed of
any unallotted tribal lands. It is the intention of the office to have
the superintendent, under the authority of section 9 of the act of
June 25, 1910 (36 Stat, 858), make allotments from the surplus un-
allotted lands of the reservation to children bom to members of
the Standing Rock tribe. There is no authority for the disposal
of the surplus lands within this reservation as diminished by the act
of May 29, 1908 (35 Stat, 460) , the lands within that part of the
reservation covered by the act last mentioned having been opened to
homestead settlement.
Cheyerme River^ S. Dak. — It is expected that Special Allotting
Agent John D, Deets, who has been engaged in making allotments
to Indians on the Cheyenne River Reservation during the past few
years, will have completed this work by August 1, 1910, or shortly
thereafter. There is no authority for the disposal of the surplus
lands within the diminished reservation. (See remarks under Stand-
ing Rock Reservation.)
Pine Ridge^ S. Dak. — ^Under the provisions of the acts of March
2, 1889 (25 Stat, 888), and March 1, 1907 (34 Stat, 1048), allot-
ments to 3,569 Indians on the Pine Ridge Reservation have been
approved previously. During the past fiscal year Special Allotting
Agent Charles H. Bates has completed allotments in the field to 891
Indians in addition to those heretofore approved. As there are in
the neighborhood of 6,000 Indians on this reservation entitled to
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
82 REPORT OF THB 0OHMI88I0NRR OF UrDIAN AFFAIRg.
allotments, it will take at least two years, if not longer, to complete
the work. The act of May 27, 1910 (36 Stat., 440), authorizes the
completion of the allotments and disposal of die surplus unallotted
lands within that part of this reservation lying in Bennett County,
S. Dak. In a recent repcnrt the special agent advised the office that
the allotment work within Bennett County will be completed by
October 1, but owing to the number of Indians allotted and those
yet desiring to take allotments within this county, it is not believed
that there will be any great quantity of desirable land left for home-
stead settlement There is no authority, other than that found in
the act of May 27, 1910, supra, for the disposal of the surplus lands
within this reservation.
Roaehvd^ S. Dak. — It is estimated that the allotment work within
this reservation will be completed by November 1, 1910, there re-
maining approximately 860 Indians yet to be allotted. This reserva-
tion has been diminished previously by various acts of Ccmgress,
and the act of May 30, 1910 (36 Stat., 448), authorizes the disposal
of a part of this reservation lying within Mellette and Washabaugh
counties. As the surplus lands, after allotments have be^i com-
pleted, must be classified and appraised, it is not believed that any
steps looking to the disposal of the surplus lands can be taken prior
to the calendar year 1911.
ColmOe, FtwA.— The act of March 22, 1906 (34 Stat, 80), author-
ized allotments of 80 acres each to the Indians on this reserva-
tion. Section 39 of the act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat, 863), amends
the act of March 22, 1906, supra, so as to authorize allotments to
these Indians under the general allotment laws as amended by sec-
tion 17 of the act of June 25, 1910. This will enable the c^ce to give
these Indians allotments of 40 acres of irrigable land, or 80 acres of
nonirrigable agricultural land, or 160 acres of nonirrigable grazing
land, in the option of the allottee. As the allotment work has just
begun, and as there are approximately 2,000 Indians to be allotted,
it is believed it will take at least two years to complete the allotment
work there.
Quiniavlt^ Wash. — ^The allotment work on this reservation has
been very difficult owing to the heavy growth of timber and under-
brush. It has practically been completed, howev^, during the past
year by Special Allotting Agent Finch R. Archer, a recent report
from this officer indicating that the field work was completed,
and the only work yet to be done was the proper scheduling of the
allotments for submission to the office. There is no authority under *
existing law for the disposal of the surplus lands within this reser-
vation.
Yakima^ TToirA.— The act of December 21, 1904 (33 Stat, 595),
authorized allotments to the Indians then living on 'this reservation
and the disposal of the surplus unallotted lands. Allotments under
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
BBPOBT OF THE COMMISSIONEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 88
this act have been completed previously, and during the past year a
commission has been engaged in the classification and appraisement
of the surplus lands. The act of May 6, 1910 (36 Stat, 848) , author-
izes allotments to children on this reservation bom since the previous
allotment work was completed. Special Allotting Agent Matthew F.
Nourse began work on this reservation under the act last mentioned
on June 23, 1910, and it is estimated that there are about 400 Indians
entitled to allotoients. It is not believed that this work can be
completed in time to enable the necessary steps to be taken to dispose
of the surplus lands prior to the next calendar year. A recent report
from the chairman of the appraising commission indicates that prac-
tically all of the valuable land within the reservation will have been
exhausted after the allotments have been completed.
Nonreaervation. — Special Allotting Agents William Williams,
George A. Keepers, William M. Peterson, and Ralph Aspaas have
been engaged in making allotments to Indians on the public domain
in Arizona and New Mexico, under the provisions of the fourth
section of the general allotment act of February 8, 1887 (24 Stat.,
888), as amended by the act of February 28, 1891 (26 Stat, 794)^
Mr. Aspaas has made tentative allotments to some 515 Indians of
the Papago tribe in Pima and Penault counties, Ariz. Mr. Wil-
liams made tentative allotments of 15 acres each to 333 Indians under
the jurisdiction of the Fort Mojave Indian School, Arizona. The
allotments were made originally in this area, owing to the fact that
there is a prospect of furnishing water to the Indians with which
to irrigate their land. Mr. Keepers has made tentative allotments
to 705 Indians on the public domain in Arizona, south of the Moqui
Reservation. Former Special Allotting Agent William M. Peter-
son completed allotments to some 363 Indians in the vicinity of
Houck, Ariz., south of the extension to the reservation, by executive
orders of November 9, 1907, and January 28, 1908.
Nanreservation^ Turtle Mountain. — During the past year allot-
ments or homesteads to members of the Turtle Mountain band of
Chippewa Indians on the public domain imder the provisions of the
act of April 21, 1904 (33 Stat., 189, 194), were approved to 1,177
members of this tribe, covering an area of 178,448.28 acres. These
applications were filed with the local land offices at Minot, Great
Falls, Glasgow, Williston, Rapid City, Bismarck, Miles City, Lew-
iston, and Devils Lake. Special Allotting Agent John F. Armstrong
has been engaged, since the summer of 1909, in completing and per-
fecting applications by other members of this band for allotments
, on the public domain, principally in Valley County, Mont., under
the jurisdiction of the local land office at Glasgow. It is estimated
that there are about 1,200 other members of this band yet entitled to
allotments or homesteads on the public domain.

84 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.
LEASBS OF TBIBAIi LAND.
The rapid increase in the value of the grazing lands of the Indians
on account of the reduction in area of the public domain by settlers
has caused a remarkable increase in the rate paid for grazing privi-
leges on many of the Indian reservations. On practically all of the
reservations the rate paid for grazing privileges was increased any-
where from 25 to 100 per. cent. The new method of letting grazing
privileges on tribal lands described in detail in last year's report
has worked splendidly. In another place in this report I refer to
the marked success of the new method on the Crow Reservation.
Under the authority of the Department of the Interior permits
have been granted to a number of persons to prospect for minerals
on lands in Utah, on the San Juan Reserve set aside for the Kaibab
and Piute Indians, with the understanding that if the prospectors
find valuable minerals in paying quantities the lands, which are
unsurveyed, should be restored tq the public domain, and could then
be entered under the United States mineral laws.
The work of locating mineral fields on the Shoshone Reservation
has advanced rapidly. Several wells have been drilled which have
struck oil in paying quantities, and new coal mines are being opened.
Preparations are being made to build a pipe line to the oil field. This
will cause drilling to be carried on much more extensively, and a
larger income will be derived by the Indians than that received from
grazing privileges.
LEASES OF AIiLOTTED LANDa
Since the last annual report 701 Indians have been permitted to
lease their allotments without departmental supervision. These were
Indians who had been found competent to transact their own busi-
ness affairs. The amended regulations governing the leasing of
allotted lands approved March 16, 1905, were further amended by
the approval on September 16, 1909, February 24, 1910, of drafts
of regulations applicable to the Umatilla Reservation, Oreg., and the
Omaha and Winnebago reservations, Nebr. New regulations govern-
ing the leasing of Osage allotments in Oklahoma were approved
February 7, 1910, and the former regulations revoked.
The act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat, 855), broadens the power of the
Secretary of the Interior with regard to leasing Indian lands for a
period not to exceed five years. The approval of leases with his au-
thority can be conferred upon the superintendent or even upon the
Indian.

Railroad construction across Indian lands has continued especially
active in the Northwest All grants of rights of way to railroad com-
panies across Indian lands, except in Oklahoma, are made under the

BEPOBT OF THE COMMISSIONBB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 35
provisions of the act of March 2, 1899 (30 Stat., 326). The act of
March 2, 1899, was further amended by section 15 of the act of June
25, 1910 (36 Stat., 855), by adding to section 1 a clause requiring each
and every applicant for a right of way under the act to stipulate as a
condition precedent to the grant that it will construct and perma-
nently maintain suitable passenger and freight stations for the con-
venience of each and every town site established by the Government
along the right of way.
The act of March 3, 1909 (35 Stat., 781), authorized the depart-
ment to grant to railroad companies owning or operating lines in
any Indian reservation, lands for reservoirs, material or ballast pits,
or for the planting and growing of trees to protect the lines of rail-
way. No grants have been made under the provisions of this law.
Two applications are now pending before the oflSce.
By the act of May 6, 1910 (36 Stat., 349), the provision of law last
referred to was extended and made applicable to any lands which
have been allotted in severalty to any individual Indian or which
have not been conveyed to the allottee with full power of alienation.
BAILROADS IN OKLAHOMA.
All grants of rights of way and grounds for railway purposes in-
volving Indian lands in Oklahoma are made in accordance with act
of February 28, 1902 (32 Stat., 43). The maps submitted under this
act are not subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior,
but are filed in this office as a part of the permanent records of the
Government
RAILROADS OUTSIDE OF OKLAHOMA.
Following is a summary of railroad rights of way and station
grounds granted, affecting Indian lands outside of Oklahoma, for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1910 :
Arizona Eastern Railroad Company. — On April 7, 1910, the de-
partment approved five maps showing location of 75.81 miles right
of way of the Arizona Eastern Railroad Company across the Navajo
Indian Reservation. This was an amendment of a right of way
along practically the same route which had previously been approved
to the Arizona and Colorado Railroad Company, the former com-
pany having succeeded to the rights and interests of the latter. Dam-
ages for the right of way are in course of adjustment.
Chicago^ Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway. — A schedule show-
ing $3,668.05 damages to tribal lands and $1,210.65 to allotted lands
of the Quinaielt Reservation was approved on December 1, 1909, and
payment of the amounts named was accepted. The rights of way
had previously been granted on November 80, 1908, 4.155 miles, and
on June 7, 1909, 9.433 miles.

Indians. Schedules showing damages of $3,189.29 to tribal lands
and $6,794.10 to allotted lands on the Standing Rock Reservation
were approved February 14, 1910, the money paid, and appropriately

damages as assessed by the superintendent in charge of the reserva-
tion, and three referees were appointed to make a reassessment, as
provided in section 3 of the act of March 2, 1899.
Craig Mountain Lumber Company. — ^The schedule of damages for
right of way across Nez Perce Indian lands was approved on July 9,
1909, and damages accepted for tribal lands, $82.80; allotted lands,

been instructed regarding the assessment of damages.
Great Northern Railway. — ^This company is doing extensive con-
struction work. On September 10, 1909, and March 28, 1910, maps
were approved showing location of 25.46 miles right of way across
the Colville Reservation, 16.03 miles across allotments along the
Okanogan and Columbia rivers, and 35.77 acres station grounds. A
schedule of damages to the allotments along the Okanogan River,
north of the reservation, aggregating $5,027.53, was approved on
April 12, 1910, and the money forwarded to the superintendent to be
paid to the allottees.
Under date of January 14, 1910, authority was granted for the
company to survey and locate a line across the Fort Berthold Reserva-
tion. Maps showing the location of this line are pending before
the office.

0.75 mile across the allotment of a Calispel Indian, along the Pend
d'Oreille River, in Stevens County, Wash., was granted on April
4, 1910, and the superintendent of the OlviUe Agency was designated
to assess the damages.
Inter Calif omia Railway. — ^Under date of February 10, 1910, the
department approved a map showing definite location of right of
way across the Yuma Reservation, Cal., a distance of 3.316 miles.

Lake Creek and Cosur d^Alene Railway. — On October 16, 1909,
maps showing additional right of way of 1.92 miles and station
grounds of 13.5 acres on the Cceur d'Alene Reservation were ap-
proved.
When the schedule of damages was submitted, it was noticed that
part of the right of way and the entire acreage for the station
grounds were located upon lands which had been granted to the State
of Idaho. The damages for this particular land were eliminated and
the schedule approved for $324.90. The company was advised that
it must make its own arrangements with the State regarding the .
right of way and station grounds on the state school lands.
Minneapolis^ St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie. — ^This company ap-
plied for a right of way across Indian allotments and Chippewa
ceded lands within the Minnesota National Forest. A map showing
location of 26 miles right of way was approved on June 10, 1910.
That part of the right of way across the Indian allotments was
granted under the act of March ij, 1899, and the right of way across
the ceded lands was granted under the act of March 3, 1875 (18 Stat.,
482). The damages to the Indian allotments are in course of adjust-
ment.
On February 18, 1910, the company was authorized to survey and

allotments in Modoc CJounty, Cal., amounting to $45, was approved
on September 27, 1909. The right of way had previously been
granted.
North Coast Railroad. — ^Two maps showing right of way across the
Yakima Reservation, Wash., of 24.68 and 12.28 miles, respectively,
were approved on November 10, 1909. Damages are being adjusted.
Northern Pacific Railway, — Under date of May 12, 1909, the de-
partment approved a map showing definite location of 21.116 miles

miles of right of way across the Quinaielt Reservation was approved
on October 25, 1909, and on April 27, 1910, two maps showing loca-
tion of station grounds aggregating 27.39 acres were approved.
Damages have not yet been adjusted.
Oregon Western Railway. — ^Maps showing location of 51.929 miles
right of way and 41.325 acres of station grounds, Klamatii Indian

a map showing location of 4.02 miles of right of way across the Warm
Springs Reservation in Oregon and issued instructions regarding the
assessing of damages.
Southern Pacific Railway. — A schedule showing damages of
$4,816.52 to tribal lands in the Yuma Indian Reservation, Cal., was
approved on May 19, 1910. These damages were for an amended
right of way granted on June 18, 1907. The consideration for the
amended right of way, in addition to the payment of the amoimt
named, included the relinquishment of the original right of way,
which relinquishment is to take effect in sixty days after construction
of the line on the amended location.
Toppenish, Simcoe and Westerfi. — A map showing location of
16.44 miles of right of way across the Yakima Reservation was ap-
proved on October 18, 1909. A schedule showing damages to allot-
ted lands aggregating $12,963 was submitted. For various reasons
five of the allottees declined to assent to the assessment.

amended location of 14.711 miles across the Pjo'amid Lake Indian
Reservation was approved.
On March 81 a map of station grounds of 4.59 acres was approved.
On the same day the department approved a schedule showing addi-

ALIENATION OF ALLOTTED LAND.
Any Indian of 21 years or over who holds an allotment of land
under a trust patent can —
1. Procure a patent in fee under the act of May 8, 1906 (84 Stat,
182), provided it is shown that he is competent to care for his own
affairs.
2. Devise his land by will under the act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat,
856-856), provided the land is not located in Oklahoma.
3. Sell his land under the act of March 1, 1907 (34 Stat., 1015-
1018).
In the issuance of patents in fee the only question involved is the
competency of the allottee, and even then the issuance of the fee
patent is discretionary with the Secretary of the Interior. It must
be clearly shown that the applicant for a fee patent is competent and
that the issuance of the patent will be for his best interests.
Wills made by Indians under the act of June 25, 1910, must be
approved by the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs. The will should conform to the laws of the State
wherein the land devised is situated. The department will not con-
sider a will after the issuance of a fee-simple patent to the devisor.
The will must be drawn by or in the presence of the superintendent
having jurisdiction over the land devised. When not so drawn, the
circumstances must be satisfactorily explained. The section of the
act of Congress approved June 25, 1910, which refers to wills does
not apply to lands located in Oklahoma.

Any Indian to whom a patent has been issued containing restric-
tions against alienation can sell his or her lands under the act of
March 1, 1907 (34 Stat, 1016-1018), as modified by the act of June
26, 1910 (36 SUt, 856-866). The land will be sold to the highest
bidder and a patent in fee will be issued in the name of the pur-
chaser, except in cases where the land is located in the State of
Oklahoma, or where a fee patent with restrictions on alienation had
issued to the original allottee. In these cases a warranty deed,
executed by the allottee and approved by the Secretary of the Inte-
riOT, will be given to the purchaser.
The money derived from the sale of the land will be deposited to
the credit of the allottee, subject to check, but authorily for the
exi)enditure of the money must first be approved by the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. If the Indian is shown to be fairly competent
to care for his affairs, a considerable portion of the money will be
turned over to him. If good use is made of the privilege, additional
sums will be given. In all cases sufficient funds will be given the
Indian allottee to meet his absolute needs.
ALIENATION OF INHEBITED LAND.
When any Indian to whom an allotment of land has been made,
or may hereafter be made, dies before the expiration of the trust
period and before the issuance of a fee patent, without having made
a will disposing of his allotment, the heirs can —
1. Procure a patent in fee, if competent to care for their own
affairs.
2. Sell the land under the supervision of the department
3. If some of the heirs are competent and others not competent,
the land may be partitioned by the Secretary of the Interior, pro-
vided it is shown that the lands are capable of partition to the ad-
vantage of the heirs. When partitioned, a patent in fee can issue
for lands set aside to heirs who are competent, and the lands set
aside to heirs who are not competent can be sold imder the super-
vision of the department.
4. In case the land is sold under the supervision of the depart-
ment the proceeds derived from the sale will be deposited to the
credit of the heirs, and in case some of said heirs are competent
their shares of the proceeds of sale will be paid to them«
The act of Congress approved June 26, 1910 (36 Stat., 866-856),
provides that the Secretary of the Interior, upon notice and hearing^
under such rules as he may prescribe, shall ascertain the legal heirs
of deceased allottees and his decision thereon shall be iindl and
conclusive.
When a petition for a patent in fee or a petition for the sale of
inherited Indian land is received, the superintendent or other officer
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOBT OF THB COMMISSIOKEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 41
designated by the Secretary of the Interior shall post notices in
conspicuous places on the reservation, to the effect that on a certain
date and place named he will take testimony to be submitted to
the Secretary of the Interior for the purpose of determining the
legal heirs of the deceased allottee. This notice shall be posted for
a period of thirty days.
Before the time of hearing it shall be the duty of the superin-
tendent or other officer designated by the Secretary of the Interior
to carefully examine the allotment, census, annuity rolls, and other
records on file at the agency and make notations therefrom as to
the relatives of the decedent for use at the hearing.
All persons known to be entitled to participation in the estate,
and all persons known by the superintendent who claim to be enti-
tled to participation, must be notified of the time and place when
and where the hearing is to be held.
The superintendent is directed to secure the attendance of at least
two disinterested persons who are acquainted with and have direct
knowledge of the family history of the deceased, to give testimony
at the hearing, or he may procure their affidavits, and in case the
affiants are not present at ihe hearing their affidavits must be read
and made a part of the record. In case affidavits ate submitted and
any of the parties claiming an interest desire it, the affiants should
be called for the purpose of cross-examination.
At the hearing the heirs, or those claiming as such, should be re-
quired to fully set forth their claims. All the testimony taken must
be reduced to writing and subscribed and sworn to before the officer
conducting the proceeding.
All the testimony taken, a copy of the posted notices to heirs, and
a copy of the notice sent to persons to appear at the hearing must
accompany the papers when the petition for a patent in fee or the
papers relating to the sale of land are submitted for consideration.
CONTBACTS WITH INDIANS FOB LAND HELD IN TBT7ST.
Investigations made by the Indian Office show that on many reser-
vations certain persons have procured Indians to sign a contract for
the sale of Indian land held under a trust patent. While this con-
tract is clearly void, in most instances it has been filed of record and
was a cloud upon the title. The act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat,
855-856), provides as follows:
Ssa5. That it shall be unlawful for any person to induce any Indian to
execute any contract, deed, mortgage, or other instrument purporting to convey
any land or any interest therein held by the United States in trust for such
Indian, or to offer any such contract, deed, mortgage, or other instrumoit for
record in the office of any recorder of deeds. Any person violating this pro-
vision shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars for the
first offense, and if convicted for a second offense may l>e punished by a fine

not exceeding five hondred dollars or imprisonment not exceeding one year, er
by both snch fine and imprisonm^it, in the discretion of tlie court: Provided^
ThJBLt this section shall not apply to any lease or other contract authorized by
law to be made.
INDIVIDUAIi INDIAN MONEYS.
The method of handling individual Indian moneys by depositing
them in national banks under a proper surety bond, subject to the
check of the Indian depositor when approved by the superintendent
in charge of the reservation, has been continued throughout the year.
The educational value to the Indian of the training in handling
money is kept constantly in mind by the office in managing these
individual funds. An important forward step in training the Indian
for self-support was taken last year. On October 29, 1909, instruc-
tions were issued to the officers in the field to recommend in their
discretion the allowance of individual Indian "privileges" in the
unrestricted use of a limited amount of their land proceeds. The
object of these " privileges " is to widen the experience of those who
are already started in the way of self-support, although still under
supervision. The amounts allowed by the office under the recom-
mendation of the, superintendent in which he shows the Indian's com-
petency in each case, varies from $1 to $500, according to the ability,
opportunities, and resources of the applicant. Under this regulation
the first allowance, if expended wisely by the Indiaijs, may be fol-
lowed by a second, larger in amount. If the Indian has not shown
good judgment in the handling of his money, a smaller amount is
tried the second time. These carefully guarded tests are calculated to
awaken a sense of responsibility in the care of funds and at the same
time avoid the disaster of a total loss. At first, requests for these
" privileges " were extravagant, and the office was obliged to disallow
them in whole or in part. The effect of this policy is now being
manifested, however, in the increasing number of applications for
smaller allowances without restrictions, showing the Indian's awak-
ened sense of caution in money matters and his realization of the
advantage of always retaining a small balance in the bank for a
possible emergency.
Another forward step of very great importance has been the abso-
lute abolishment of the " credit system." Under the old arrangement
of indiscriminate allowances to all Indians having income from their
lands it was the practice of licensed traders and other dealers to
encourage the Indians to purchase on credit anything and everything
invented or used by civilized man, thus obligating far ahead the funds
they could hope to receive. In spite of stringent regulations this
worked great hardship upon the Indians, so that it became necessary
to definitely stamp it out, so far as the jurisdiction of the office
Digitized by VjQOQ IC
B£POBT OF THB OOMMISSIOKEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 48
extended. Accordingly, under the date of December 17, 1909, the
department issued an order calling the attention to section 561 of the
Kegulations of the Indian Office, effective April 1, 1904, in which
persons doing business wiUi Indians were warned that when credit
was extended to them the creditor must take the risk and that no
assistance whatever would be given by the superintendent of this
office in the collection of alleged claims against Indians. Attention
was invited to the step taken by this office on April 80, 1909, when
notice was given to all interested that credit accounts against Indians
subsequent to July 1 following would not be settled from funds in
its custody imless authority for the purchases had previously been
granted through the agent. This latest order laid upon the office the
additional restraint that hereafter no assistance, direct or indirect,
should be extended to creditors of Indians in the collection of claims.
Henceforth the settlement of debts of this nature from funds in
the custody of this office lies entirely with the Indian debtor. The
office merely acts as custodian of the funds for the Indian, who may
ask permission to apply the funds for the liquidation of a just debt.
If the Indian is sufficiently competent, the fimds will be turned over
to him on his written request, accompanied by the favorable recom-
mendation of the superintendent, in an amount sufficient to cancel
his obligation. Basing its action on this order of the department,
the office called upon superintendents and agents on February 16,
1910, to proceed at once to collect and transmit the claims of all
traders and others against every single Indian having land funds to
his credit. The object of these instructions was to make a final
dean-up of all claims recently contracted or of long standing against
Indians for whose funds the office might, in a measure, be held
responsible. Due notice has been given that all claims contracted
subsequent to the date of the departmental order referred to will not
be allowed unless previously authorized. Many of the claims filed
with the superintendent are now in the office, and final action is being
expedited in every way. When these are disposed of the administra-
tion of Indian-land money will be considerably simplified and the
financial resources of the Indians held in readiness for application to
present necessities and future needs, instead of being obligated in
advance to meet extravagant bills.
A circular issued April 2, 1910, exemplifies the policy of the depart-
ment as carried out by the office in regard- to the application of money
derived from the sale of lands. Under its provisions much of the
responsibility for the proper handling of individual Indian funds is
placed in the hands of the officer immediately in charge. This is
manifestly an advantage, as the man on the ground is best acquainted
with the conditions and best able to judge where the Indian's perma-
nent advantage lies. This circular provides for the expenditure of

INSPECTION.
The inspecting and investigating service of the oflSce, with the
assistance of the inspectors of the Department of the Interior, covered
during the year the entire field of Indian operations, with the excep-
tion of 1 Indian reservation, 2 boarding schools, and 3 day schools.
Special investigations of conditions were made on 14 reservations.
There were employed during the year 10 supervisors and 5 special
agents, from whom 275 reports were received ; 274 of these required
and have received administrative action.
The inspecting force of the office was deprived of the services of
7 of its men during the year for a period aggregating eleven hundred
and fifteen days, during which time they were employed as acting
superintendents in charge of reservations or schools, and as members
of commissions.
THE KICKAPOO SITUATION IN OKLAHOMA.
The clearing up of the difficulties of the Kickapoo Indians of Okla-
homa has been greatly hindered by legal delays of one kind and an-
other. The Department of Justice, by means of civil suits and crimi-
nal actions, is endeavoring to recover for these Indians the lands
which have been illegally and fraudulently purchased from them, and
to punish those guilty of fraud. These lands were originally sold as
a result of the act of June 21, 1906 (34 Stat, 825), which removed
all restrictions from the alienation by the Kickapoo Indians of their
title to their allotments in Oklahoma. In the opinion of the Depart-
ment of Justice and of the Indian Service, this act gave authority for
the alienation of the equitable titles only and did not authorize the
alienation of the legal title to'these lands which remained as thereto-
fore in the United States. The Indians, however, immediately began
to sell their lands for little or nothing and to give possession to the
purchasers of lands, some of which were of great value as town lots.
In some instances where the purchasers were miable to procure bona
fide signatures from the Indians, they are alleged to have manufac-
tured the signatures to deeds of sale to themselves.
The suits for the recovery of allotments where illegal and fraudu-
lent deeds were procured are still pending in the circuit court of the
United States for the western district of Oklahoma. The defendants
demurred in these actions. They were argued, submitted on briefs,
and taken under advisement by the district judge about a year ago.
Becently the cases were reargued and submitted. A decision is ex-
pected soon. Two allotments have been recovered by the Government
intervening in the State district court for Maverick County, Tex.
No other cases have reached final judgment
Criminal cases have been in the hands of the Department of Jus-
tice for a little over a year and they have secured indictments in the

county of Maverick, Tex., in 134 of the cases. The question of paying
the expenses and fees of witnesses living in Oklahoma and Mexico
for bringing them to Maverick County, Tex., has retarded the prog-
ress of these suits. Congress provided for tkese expei^ses in March
and August, 1909. The greatest trouble, however, has been in secur-
ing the extradition of the defendants living in the State of Okla-
hixna, as the governor of Oklahoma has refused the request of the
governor of Texas to send these defendants to Texas for triaL
Other resources have recently availed in bringing these defendants
within the jurisdiction of the criminal courts, and satisfactory results
are confidently expected in the near future.
OSAGES.
The settlement of the affairs of the Osages is practically completed.
This settlement is authorized by the act of June 28, 1906 (34 Stat.,
639). The act provided for the division of the lands and moneys
of the Osage Indians to be made on the basis of a roll of membership
approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Under the provisions of
the act each member of the tribe was permitted to take three selec-
tions of 160 acres of land each, the selections for minors to be made
by parents or the superintendent in charge of the Osage Agency.
The roll was approved April 30, 1908; it contained the names of
2,230 persons. In accordance with the act 1,465,350.50 acres have
been allotted to the Indians on the roll ; 5,178.53 acres have been re-
served for church, town sites, and railroad properties; and there are
now approximately 404,924 acres remaining unallotted.
The Osage trust fund on June 30, 1910, amounted to $8,400,006.98.
The school fimd amoimted to $119,911.53. In addition to this these
Indians received as royalties from the leasing of their oil and gas
lands $240,641.29, making a grand total of $8,760,599.80. This rep-
resents approximately the wealth of the Osages in money.
These funds have been segregated and placed to the credit of the
individual members in accordance with the provisions of the act
already mentioned. The share of each member amounts to $3,928.50.
Under another provision of the Osage act of 1906 the Secretary of
the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, at the request and upon
the petition of any adult member of the tribe, to issue to such mem-
ber a certificate of competency which authorizes him to sell and convey
any of the lands deeded to him under the act, except his homestead,
which must remain inalienable and nontaxable for a period of twenty-
five years, or during the lifetime of the homestead allottee, if, upon
investigation, the Secretary shall find such member fully competent
and capable of transacting his own business and caring for his own
individual affairs.

Under this section the Secretary has approved the appUcations of
876 allottees up to Augast 1, 1910. This releases frc»n deparbnental
control practically 150,000 acres, or about 400 acres to each allottee.
By the tenps of the act of 1906 all the funds, the lands, except as
above noted, and minerals belonging to the Osage Indians shall be
held in trust by the United States for twenty-five years from the Ist
day of January, 1907. At the expiration of such period the lands,
minerals, and moneys held in trust are to become the absolute prop-
erty of individual members of the Osage tribe according to the roll
approved by the Secretary, and the act provides that deeds for the
lands shall then be issued to the members, or to their heirs, and the
moneys shall be distributed to said members or their heirs as is pro-
vided in the act, and said members are to have full control of all
lands, moneys, and mineral interests now belonging to the tribe.
THB CONSOIilDATION OP THB OMAHA AND WINNEBAOO
AGBNCIBS.
The Omaha and Winnebago agencies were consolidated in the
spring of 1910 and one superintendent placed in charge of both.
These reservations are situated in northeastern Nebraska and have
an area of about 250,000 acres. They were first consolidated in 1878,
and the agencies were administered together until 1903, when they
were again placed under separate superintendents. Under the
present consolidation the business of the agencies is kept separate
and conducted in practically the same manner as before. A chief
clerk at the Winnebago Agency and another at the Omaha Agency
take the place of the former superintendents. This arrangement
makes it possible for the superintendent of the consolidated agencies
to give all his time to constructive work on the two reservations.
Two expert farmers have been placed on each reservation, and an
agricultural fair is to be established to further promote interest in
agriculture.
The trust period of the Omahas expired during the past year. It
was extended for ten years further so that the office might have op-
portunity to determine the competency of the allottees to manage
their own affairs.
A competency commission was created to do this work, and it re-
ported March 11, 1910. The commission divided the Omahas into
three classes: (1) Composed of those fully competent to receive pat-
ents in fee for their land; (2) those partially competent and capable
of making business transactions in connection with their allotted
holdings, but not sufficiently competent to receive patents in fee; (8)
those who were wholly incompetent and should remain under the
supervision and jurisdiction of the Government for a further period
of tutelage.

The progress made by these Indians during the year has amply
shown that the consolidation of the two agencies was wise. The in-
creased administrative efficiency resulting from it should make possi-
ble even greater development in the coining year.
The administrative changes made on these reservations last spring,
while promoting agriculture among the Indians and leading to
greater general efficiency, have at the same time resulted in a net re-
duction in the cost of administration.
CROW RESERVATION — MARBaBD SUCCESS OF NEW
METHODS OF IjEASING TRIBAIi IjANDS.
The new method of leasing tribal lands whereby leases are granted
under the sealed-bid plan and the property of the Indians more
adequately protected met with its most conspicuous success on the
Grow Reservation, in Montana. The grazing lands of this reservation
are much sought by stock owners, as they are among the best grazing
lands in the West. The bidding for grazing privileges on the lands
was therefore spirited, and the leases brought thousands of dollars
more than ever before.
During the years 1908-9 five pastures on the Crow Reservation
were let for $33,001.27, while the same pastures, under the new sys-
tem, brought this year $140,250, or more than four times as much as
the pastures brought the year before.
FIVE CIYIIiIZED TRIBES.
The question of opening the rolls of the Five CivUized Tribes came
up before Congress last year, but no legislation was enacted and the
citizenship rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes still remain closed as
of March 4, 1907. Hearings were held before both Senate and House
Committees on Indian Affairs looking to the reopening of the citi-
zenship rolls. The reason for this proposal was that there might be
added to the rolls the names of 52 persons whose cases were passed
upon favorably by the Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes,
but the records thereof did not reach the department until after
March 4, 1907, when the rolls were closed, and also that there might
be a review of about 2,100 cases decided between February 19 and
March 4, 1907, following the opinion of the Attorney-General of
February 19, 1907 (26 Ops. Attorney-General, 127), wherein he
held different views from those entertained by the Department of
the Interior and upon which decisions had been rendered in many
cases. It was also planned that the opening of the rolls should
include an investigation of the proposed transfer of the names of cer-
tain Choctaws and Chickasaws from the freedmen roll to the roll of
citizens by blood because there was an alleged preponderance of
Indian blood.

It is the belief of almost everyone interested in the welfare of the
Indians that any reopening of the rolls would prove most unfor-
tunate.
The rolls can not be considered as finally settled, however, until
decisions are made in two important cases now bef^e the courts.
The Muskrat case, which is now pending before the Supreme CJourt,
brings in question the enrollment of 5,590 enrolled Cherokees to whom
tentative allotments have already been made. The Moses Whitmire
case, now pending in the Court of Claims, will affect the right to en-
rollment of about 1,500 rejected freedmen claimants to citizenship
in the Cherokee Nation, and should the Court of Claims decide in
their favor the names of those persons will have to be transferred to
the final approved roll of Cherokee citizens.
The equalization of the Creek allotments is a problem for Congress
yet to solve, as no legislation on the subject was enacted at the last
session, although bills upon the subject were introduced in both
House and Senate. The question involved is whether the United
States is liable for the deficit in lands and funds of the Creek Nation
caused by the allotment at the tribe's request of land to its after-bom
children, thereby leaving insufficient lands and funds to equalize the
allotment of adult Creeks in accordance with existing law. The
question is primarily one for the courts to decide and will probably
be settled by a reference to the Court of Claims.
The most serious problem which confronts the administration of
the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes is the final disposition of the
segregated coal lands belonging to the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations, which can neither be leased nor sold und^r existing law.
Section 61 of the Choctaw-Chickasaw agreement approved July 1,
1902 (32 Stat., 641), provided that:
No lease of any coal or any asphalt lands shaU be made after the final rati-
fication of this agreement (September 25, 1902).
Thereafter, Congress, by section 13 of the act of April 26, 1906
(34 Stat., 137), provided:
That all coal and asphalt lands, whether leased or unleased, shaU be reserred
from sale under this act untU the existing leases for coal and asphalt lands
shall have expired or until such time as may be otherwise provided by law.
Thus, the segregated coal lands stand in statu quo awaiting further
legislation by Congress toward any further disposition of such lands.
The area of the segregated coal lands is 445,000 acres, of which
100,000 acres are under leases bearing date between July 11, 1899, and
September 16, 1902, and running for a term of thirty years from
date thereof.
A difference of opinion exists as to the extent and true value of
the coal deposits, which have been examined by Joseph A. Taff, an
expert from the Geological Survey, who made a surface examination
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBPOBT OF THE OOMMISSIONEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS. 51
of outcroppings, and by the supervisor of mines, William Cameron,
whose latest estimate, made from the drilling of 37 test holes, pur-
suant to the provisions of the act of June 21, 1906 (34 Stat., 346), in
his report of November 6, 1909, is: Workable coal area on both
unleased and leased, segregated lands 281,656 acres, valued at
$12,238,189, not including the surface, which the Commissioner to
the Five Civilized Tribes values at $6,676,780, thus making the total
estimated value of the surface of the land and coal deposits there-
under $18,913,969, or in roimd numbers nearly $19,000,000, which
differs widely from the estimate placed upon the coal lands by
Joseph A. Taff, the geological expert, who went as high as
$100,000,000.
The large area of timber lands in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations presents another difficulty in the way of winding up the
affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes. This land was segregated by
departmental letter of December 8, 1906, modified January 12, 1907,
in which the Secretary of the Interior directed the Commissioner to
the Five Civilized Tribes to withhold from further allotment an
area of about 2,200,000 acres of land, of which 840,000 acres had
already been allotted to citizens of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations, leaving approximately 1,370,000 acres unallottted and esti-
mated to be worth $1,559,600, and of which the Secretary sought to
induce Congress to create a national forest.
Congress has not yet confirmed his action by taking any steps
looking toward the creation of a National forest. The Indians to
whom have been allotted 840,000 acres within that area are author-
ized to dispose of the timber on their lands, which is scattered
through this tract. Consequently extensive depredations have been
and are continually being committed on this allotted land which
experience has demonstrated it is important to prevent, although
constant surveillance is maintained at considerable expense.
During the past year, as a result of the investigations of timber
depredations, 60 persons were indicted by federal grand juries
for the unlawful cutting of timber on these tribal lands. Fifteen
were convicted and settlements have been made through the United
States attorneys' offices, resulting in the recovery to the tribes of
about $10,000 for timber illegally taken, and the cases dismissed.
THE SAC AND FOX INDIANS IN IOWA.
The question of the settlement of the affairs of the Sac and Fox
Indians in Iowa came up during the past year. A bill (H. K.
28963) was introduced in Congress which provided for the allot-v
ment of the lands of these Indians and for the disposition of their
tribal funds. The department doubted whether legislation directing
the division of the lands among the Indians would be wise. It sug-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
52 BEPOBT OF THB G0MMI88I0NEB OF INDIAN AFFAIBS.
gested that legislative action be delayed until the office could make
further investigation of existing conditions.
The Sac and Fox of the Mississippi tribe of Indians in Iowa
numbers 362 persons. The status of these Indians is peculiar in that
they own their lands. They are the survivors and progeny of
that part of the tribe which refused to move to the Indian Territory
from Kansas, and in 1857 returned to its original home in Iowa.
With their own money they purchased about 80 acres of land. The
deed to this land was made in the name of the governor of Iowa as
trustee in order that they might more effectually protect their hold-
ings. Other purchases of land were subsequently made by th^n
with their own funds and the title taken either by the governor of
Iowa or the Indian agent of the United States as trustee. They
now own about 3,000 acres, which is held by them in common.
In 1896 the State of Iowa, by act of the legislature, ceded to the
United States jurisdiction over these, Indians and their lands. ^ By
the act of June 10, 1896 (29 Stat, 331), Congress accepted the juris-
diction, and the legal title and trusteeship of the lands was trans-
ferred from the governor of the State and United States Indian
agent to the Secretary of the Interior.
The Iowa branch of the Sac and Fox of the Mississippi tribe
has a proportionate interest in the $1,000,000 capitalized by the act
of March 3, 1909 (35 Stat., 781) . This branch of the tribe is entitled
also to a proportionate share in the $20,000 capitalized by the Indian
appropriation act approved April 4, 1910. This sum is the commuta-
tion of the perpetual annuity of the Sac and Fox of the Mississippi
tribe under the treaty of November 3, 1804 (7 Stat, 84). In addi-
tion there remains in the Treasury to the credit of this branch of
the tribe a balance of $9,603.93 from the fund known as the '^ Sac
and Fox of the Mississippi in Iowa fund," arising under the provi-
sion of the act of June 10, 1896, already mentioned.
The first step toward settling the affairs of these Indians should
unquestionably be the allotment of their lands. But there are serious
difficulties in the way. Although the legal title of the lands is in the
Secretary of the Interior as trustee, the lands were bought by the
Indians with their own funds and belong to them. For that reason
I do not believe it would be right to make any change in the present
status of the lands without first gaining the consent of the Indians.
Their attitude upon the question of allotment has been one of per-
sistent opposition, and at the present time there is no likelihood of
obtaining their consent to the breaking up of tribal ownership.
Their tract of land is not large, and if prorated among the members
of the tribe would give to each man only about 10 acres. Such a
small holding would not be adequate for the support of these igno-
rant and nonprogressive Indians.

NORTHERN CHETENNES.
A good start has been made in cattle raising among the Northern
Cheyenne Indians upon the Tongue River Reservation, Mont. This
reservation is an ideal grazing range of some 460,000 acres. Several
years ago 2,000 cows were purchased for breeding purposes and upon
this purchase the cattle industry of the Indians has been based.
The cattle are owned by 442 individual Indians, each individual
owner having a separate brand. The aggregate stock owned by all
the Indians amounts to 6,000 head.
Several Indians own as many as 50 head of cattle, many of them
but 1 or 2 head and no Indian owns over 100 head. The herds are
slowly increasing. This fact lends much encouragement to the ad-
ministration, as in the past the Northern Cheyennes have slaughtered
many cattle, thus checking their increase. The future outlook for
the growth of these herds is very encouraging.
The marketable steers and such cows as are fit for market are
gathered annually and shipped to Chicago. Individual returns are
made by the commission merchants handling the shipments and
payments are made in full to the individual Indians interested.
The Cheyenne beef has been able to conmiand the best prices and
it appears to be desirable that this means of disposing of the increase
be continued.
From this good beginning great progress is looked for in the com-
ingyear.
THE WHITE EARTH SITUATION.
A situation of extreme seriousness was discovered at the White
Earth Reservation in Minnesota during the year. It is the old story
of the robbery of Indian lands and the dirty work that goes with it
The fraud began in connection with the sale of the lands of the
mixed-blood adults on the reservation. This sale was authorized by
act of Congress June 21, 1906 (84 Stat., 825-863), which removed all
restrictions against the sale, encumbrance, or taxation of allotments
within the White Earth Reservation held by adult mixed-blood In-
dians. The act also declared that the trust deeds executed by the
department for such allotments passed the title in fee simple.
The allottees began to sell their lands as soon as the act was passed.
The cupidity of the white purchasers led to flagrant violations of
the law. They purchased lands of Indians who were unquestipnably
full-bloods and plainly not competent to sell their lands under the
law. Trickery and fraud of all kinds was resorted to, and finally
about 96 per cent of the allotments, or the timber on the allotments,
of White Earth allottees had been disposed of under the pretended
authority of the law mentioned. Millions of dollars were involved
in these illegal sales.

An investigation by representatives of the department was made
early in the present fiscal year, and as a result thoroughg<Hiig meas-
ures have been set on foot to get back the stolen lands as soon as
possible. An employee of the office has been specially assigned to
the preparation of the legal cases that will be necessary, and special
United States attorneys have been assigned by the Department of
Justice to recover the lands and value of the timber purchased from
full-blood Indians, full-blood minors, and mixed-blood minors.
This work is being pushed with all possible energy, although prog-
ress is necessarily somewhat slow on account of the many legal diffi-
culties in the way.
THE APACHES AT FORT SILIi.
An eflfort was made at the last session of Congress to procure legis-
lation for allotment of land to the Apaches on the Fort Sill Military
Reservation. Two bills were introduced for this purpose — S. 6152
and H: R. 25297. Both bills failed of enactment, and an effort (H. J.
Res. 196) to provide for the removal of this band of Indians to
any Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona or New Meidoo also failed
of enactment.
This band of Apaches was removed to the Fort Sill Military Res-
ervation, Okla., in 1894 on account of their outrages upon the settlers
in Arizona and New Mexico. They have been imder military sur-
veillance since that time. A number of them have become fairly
successful farmers and stock raisers. On the whole, they have made
considerable progress. They have all become attached to their lands.
It is the opinion of this office that such as wish should be permitted
permanently to remain on and have allotted to them these lands upon
which they now have their homes.
PAYMENT TO OTTAWA AND CHIPPEWA INDIANS OP
MICHIGAN.
Payment to the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan is now
under way. This payment is being made as the result of a decision
of the United States Court of Claims of March 4, 1907, which
awarded these Indians the sum of $62,496.40, with interest from
March 9, 1885, a total of $181,188.94.
This claim of the Indians had its origin in article 4 of the treaty
of March 28, 1836 (7 Stat, 491), which provided, inter alia, that the
Government for a period of twenty years thereafter should invest the
sum of $1,000 in stock, to be held in the Treasury for the benefit of
the tribe.
By the treaty of July 31, 1886 (11 Stat., 621), the tribe seaned
to release the United States from all liability imder its prior treaty.

BEPOBT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF IKDI/IN AFFAIBS. 55
In 1886 the stocks and bonds purchased under the treaty of 1836 were
sold and the proceeds converted to the use of the United States,
The tribe still maintained that it did not surrender the securities men-
tioned, and was authorized by the act of March 3, 1905 (33 Stat.,
181) , to take its cause to the United States Court of Claims.
The sum of $9,786.69, which represented certain moneys that had
been erroneously covered into the funds of the Treasury, is included
in this payment
The roll of the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan entitled
to participate in these funds was made in accordance with the act of
April 30, 1908 (85 Stat, 70). It contains the names of 5,442 members
of the tribe living March 4, 1907, and also the names of 202 children
born after that date and prior to August 1, 1908, the date of complet-
ing the roll in the field.
The sum of $105,758.69 is being disbursed to the 5,442 members of
the tribe, a per cr.pita payment of $19.43. The $9,786.69 to be paid to
the 5,442 members of the tribe plus the 202 children bom after the
date of the judgment will be divided equally, making a second per
capita payment of $1.74. The total per capita to be paid to the adult
members of the tribe is $21.16. The children born subsequent to the
date of the award will receive per capita $1.74.
The Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan represented by
the treaty of .July 31, 1855, as entitled to share in the award and other
funds mentioned were made up of five bands — Sault Ste. Marie,
Mackinac, Little Traverse, Grand Traverse, and Grand Kiver. The
Chippewas known as Black River, Swan Creek, and Saginaw bands
were not parties to the award and are not entitled to share in the
payments now being made.

United States of crimes committed by Indians against Indians on Indian
reservationa
U. S. V. Sutton (215 U. S., 291).
Congress has power to prohibit the introduction of liquor into the Indian
country. The limits of an Indian reservation are not changed by allotments

The year ended June 80. 1910, is notable in the history of the work
of dosinff the affairs of tne Five Civilized Tribes in that, with the
close of tne year, there has been brought to practical completion the
most important feature of this great work, namely, the allotment
of lands. The unexpected difficulties encountered in connection
167
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
168 FIVE CJYUAZED TRIBES.
with the allotment in severalty of the lands of the Five Tribes
delayed the completion of this work far beyond the expectaticn
of those concemecL During the last year the allottees were afforded
every possible opportunity to voluntaiily select their allotments, and
after every effort to secure this result had been exhausted, in order
to complete the work, arbitrary allotments were made to all citizens
whose selections were incomplete. This action was taken after final
notice was given that all tne applications would have to be filed
within a specified time. In the Seminole Nation, as heretofore re-
ported, the allotment work was completed several years ago, the one
thing yet undone in connecticMi with the allotment of Semmole lands
being the recording and delivery of patents, all of which have been
prepared and are at the department In the Choctaw, Chickasaw,
Creek, and Cherokee nations practically all patents have been pre-
pared and delivery effected except in cases where allottees have re-
fused to accept them or the office has been unable to locate them for
the purpose of making delivery. Final allotments have not been
made and certificates of selection or deeds have not been issued
to 6,605 minor Cherokees enrolled under the act of April 26, 1906,
because there is now pending in the Supreme Court of the United
States a suit involving the legality of their enrollment.
On January 10, 1910, was begun the payment of $492,811.34 to
71,862 members ox the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Cherokee nations
having due them not to exceed $50 on their allotments, as provided
in the act of March 3, 1909. To June 30, 1910, the sum of $211,913.60
had been paid to 27,881 citizens.
Conditions affecting the allottees of the Five Civilized Tribes have
undergone no material change during the past year, no new legisla-
tion having been enacted. Throu^ the United States superin-
tendent, in charge of the Union Agency, and the district agency force,
and under the laws governing such matters the affairs of the re-
stricted class of Indians haveljeen carefully watched and their in-
terests protected so far as i)08sible. In assessing taxes for the years
1908 and 1909 county officials in eastern Oklahoma have shown a
di^osition to ignore the statutes applying to the alienability of
land, and many tracts of restricted land were asse^ed and adver-
tised for sale for the nonpayment of taxes. Injunctions restraining
these sales were secured from the United States court, and efforts are
being made to prevent a recurrence of this condition.
UNALLOTTED LANB.
The unallotted land of the Five Civilized Tribes, not including
452,222.46 coal and asphalt segregations in the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations and 1,373,324.62 acres for the proposed forest reserve
in the Choctaw Nation, amounts to 1,815,189.22 acres, distributed as

Preparations have been made for the early sale and disposition of
these remaining surplus unallotted lands. Relations governing
the manner of sale of said lands, beginning in December, 1910, are
under coasideration by the department. Preparatory to the disposi-
tion of these lands lists thereof have been prepared in which they are
described in tracts not exceeding 160 acres in extent, together with
maps showing the location and area of the unallotted lands in each
county, so that any particular tract of land offered for sale may be
readily identified by the prospective purchaser.
ENBOLLMENT.
In the last annual report reference was made to a field investiga-
tion which was under way to determine the date of death of a num-
ber of enrolled citizens on whose behalf no application had been made
to select allotments or who, from information already secured, ap-
peared to have died prior to the date upon which they must have
peen living to be entitled to allotments. As a result of this investipt-
tion it was found that in the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Cherokee
nations there were about 250 cases of persons who had died prior to

CHICKASAW NATION.
During the year 167 allotments, embracing 21,606.76 acres, were
made to Choctaw and Chickasaw citizens and freedmen in the Chicka-
saw Nation. Allotment certificates and patents covering the lands
thus allotted have been prepared in all cases where the contest period
has expired.

Attention is invited to the discrepancies in the area of allotted and
unallotted land in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nati<His as shown by a
ocxnparison between this and the last report of this office. This is
accounted for by the fact that these amounts have been carried from
year to year without being carefully checked until recently and that
no account has been kept of the allotments relinquished from time to
time which in the aggregate amount to a large area.
As heretofore, a prominent feature of the work of the office has
been the preparaticm of certified copies of the records which are sold
under the provisicMis of section 8 of the act of April 26, 1906, and
furnishing, for the use of the various district agents in connection
with this work, copies of the records as to enrollment and allotment
The records of this office have been chewed as^ainst the leases and
applications for the removal of restrictions med with the Indian
ajgency. During the past year the work of securing information rela-
tive to the 257 persons whose names appear on the approved roll for
the Choctaw and Chickasaw naticxis, but for whom no allotments
had been selected, was completed. From this investigation it de-
veloped that of this number 146 died prior to September 25, 1902, or
were duplicate enrollments. Seven such persons could not be located
nor can any information relative to them oe secured up to the present
time. The remaining cases were found to be properly enrolled and
allotments have been made to them. In making nnal dispositicxi of
those cases where the parties were found to have died prior to Sep-
tember 25^ 1902, great difficulty has been encountered in ascertaining
the heirs m order that proper service of notice of the proposed action
of the department might be served. This has operated to materially
delay the completion of this particular work.
The work now before the office in connection with the Choctaw and
Chickasaw tribes relative to the allotment of land is the prepara-
tion and delivery of certificates and patents to the lands recently
allotted.
There are also in the files of the office about 3,000 Choctaw and
Chickasaw certificates which have been returned and about 3,000
patents which have been returned and are now in the hands of the
various district agents for delivery.
For the equalization of allotments of the members of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw tribes there is to be prepared a supplemental roll
aggregating 362 names not included on me roll under which pay-
ment has begun by reason of allotment contests and various other
complications. A work of considerable magnitude is that of receiv-
ing applications from Choctaw and Chickasaw freedmen to exercise
the right given them by the act of April 26, 1906, to purchase at its
appraised value land sufficient with tnat already allotted to make 40
acres.
There are also pending a number of Mississippi Choctaw cases
which involve the right of 26 persons to final patents to land allotted
to them, such right being dependent on compliance with the require-
ments relating to residence prescribed by sections 42 and 44 of the act
of Congress approved July 1, 1902 (32 Stat, 641). Little difficulty
is anticipated m the disposition of these cases. There are many other
small items of detail work to be accomplished too numerous to enu-
merate, which collectively will require a great deal of time and labor.

CBJSBK NATION.
Complete allotments of 160 acres, or as near that number of acres
as may be, have been made to all Creek citizens and freedmen. There
are, however, pending 13 tentative applications to select land allotted
to persons whose names have been stricken from the rolls and to whom
deeds have been issued and delivered. These applications are await-
ingthe result of suits that have been brought to cancel such deeds.

in the Creek iNation at the close of the fiscal year ended June 80,
1910:

During the year 30 allotments, embracing 3,166.80 acres, were made
to citizens and freedmen of the Creek Nation. The 13 tentative allot-
ments still pending embrace 1,644.11 acres of land, which makes the
total area or unallotted land amount to 63,610.83 acres.
There have been prepared during the year 49 allotment certificates
and 129 deeds covering lands allotted to citizens and freedmen. All
of these certificates where the contest period has expired have been
mailed to the allottees, and all of the deeds have been executed by the
principal chief of the Creek Nation and forwarded to the Secretary
of the Interior for approval.
The work in this nation is practically completed. The unfinished
work consists mainly in the oisposition of the unallotted lands and
the equalization of allotments.
Efforts were made to equalize Creek allotments upon a basis of
$800, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved March 3,
1909, but inasmuch as the Creek national council refused to accept
the conditions named in that act, and as no further action has been
taken, the matter of equalization of Creek allotments has been in-
definitely postponed.
There is considerable amount of detail work yet to be done, such
as the delivery of about 2,000 allotment certificates which have been
returned unclaimed, the adjustment of tentative filings, and the com-
pletion of the new allotment plats.
SEMINOLE NATION.
C(Mnplete allotments have heretofore been made to all citizens and
freedmen entitled to share in the distribution of the lands of the Semi-
nole Nation, as shown from the annual report for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1909.
During the year 8,877 homestead and allotment deeds covering the
allotment selections of Seminole citizens and freedmen were pre-
pared on the new forms drawn up and approved hj the department.

ments. These have been executed by the principal chief of the Semi-
nole Nation and forwarded to the department for approval, where
thOT are now being held at the instance of the Department of Justice.

The above statement shows 179.04 acres more of unallotted land
than is shown in the annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1909. This is accounted for from the fact that two allotments have
been canceled under departmental instructions during the year. In
addition, land reserved from allotment for schools, churches, etc., to
the amount of 662.75 acres has been abandoned for the purpose for
which reserved, making a total of 3,448.43 acres to be disijosed of.
The work incident to allotments in this nation remaining to be
done consists of the delivery of the new deeds to the allottees when
same are approved and returned by the department, the deliveiy of
a considerable number of allotment certificates, which have been
returned to the office for various reasons, and the preparation of
deeds covering lands reserved for churches.
CHEROKEE NATION.
The* matter of the allotment of land occupied a comparatively small
share of the attention of the Cherokee division during the past fiscal
year, as jpractically all the desirable land had already been taken up
and deeds had been issued in practically all cases except where part
of an allotment is involved in contest or similar proceedings and in
the case of minors enrolled under the act of April 26, 1906, whose
rights are still involved in the Muskrat case, now pending on appeal
to the Supreme C!ourt.

In this report the area of the unallotted land is greater and the
number of citizens less than given in the report for last year. The
figures for the unallotted land were heretofore taken from a balance
carried from year to year and never carefully checked ; recently, how-
ever, an accurate computation of the unallotted land has been made
and the figures now given are practically correct. The diflference in
the number of names enrolled is explain^ by the fact that only those
persons entitled to allotment are included in this statement, and dur-
ing the past year there have been brought to light numerous cases of
persons, who, though regularly enrolled, are not entitled to allotment
Dy reason of their having died prior to September 1, 1902. The ex-
cess in the number of deeds delivered over the number prepared is
accounted for by the fact that a large number of deeds sent out by
registered mail are returned by the postmasters unclaimed, and in
many cases delivery is again requested at some other point ,In some
instances deeds are mailM three or four times before being received by
the allottee.
One of the principal items of work accomplished during the past
y^ear was to investigate all cases of persons who had made no applica-
tion to file, as well as numerous cases of apparent duplicate enroll-
ment. This work was done in the field, and was of an extremely ex-
acting nature. As a result, testimony has been secured and reports
made to the department in more than 100 cases where persons, whose
names appear on the approved roll, died prior to September 1, 1902,
or have oeen enrolled and allotted in another tribe or under another
number in the Cherokee Nation. In 90 cases the department has ap-
proved the recommendation of this oflBce that notations be made
on the approved roll opposite the nam^ of such persons that they
are not entitled to share in the distribution of the tribal property of
the Cherokee Nation, and the necessary notations made. Several
similar cases are still pending before the department, which when
finally -acted upon will further reduce the nurnber of persons entitled
to allotment.
Previous reports have set forth the efforts of the oflBce to persuade
Cherokee citizens to select allotments, notices having been sent in
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
178 FIVE CIVILIZED TBIBE8.
both 1908 and 1909 to each allottee whoee selection was incomplete
that he should within a given time make a selection of land or advise
the oflBce of his preference for money in lieu thereof. The desirable
land having been previously allotted, but few selections of land were
made in response to these notices, and it is highly improbable that
more than a very small amount or this land wm ever be voluntarily
allotted. The majority of the persons so notified who have not se-
lected land to complete their allotments have advised the office of their
preference for money. However, it became necessary to finally dose
the office to the allotment of land in order that the work be completed
and the unallotted land sold, and, before this was done, it was thoi^t
advisable to a^ain notify each allottee entitled to take land, who
had not heretofore expressed a preference for money in response to
previous notices. Such notices, explaining the necessity for closing
the allotm^it work and allowing until August 1, 1910, to make any
selections of land, were sent outl)y registered mail on June 26, 1910.
The fact that no decision has been reached in the case involving the
right of minor Cherokees carolled und^r the act of April 26, 1906,
has operated to delay the completion of the work, as, until this case
is decided, no final allotments can be made or deeds issued to the 4,400
citizens or this class to whom tentative allotments have been made.
With respect to citizens enrolled as of September 1, 1902, the work
of allotment is practically complete, as it is not anticipated that
more than a very few selections will be made during the month of
July, and when the office is finally closed to allotments a few weeks'
work on the part of one or two clerks will suffice for the preparation
and issuance of the deeds not yet written and the accomplishment
of whatever else is necessary to close this branch of the work. The
combined tract books and ledgers, which will be left as the perma-
nent record of this work, are written, with the exception oi a few
straggling cases, and need only to be given a final check, which is
already about half finished.
While, as shown, there is little work remaining peritaining to the
allotment of land, this might have been fully completed except as to
those items dependent upon matters outside of the office, had not the
time of the force been largely taken up with work not foreseen or
contemplated. Reference is elsewhere made to the work of checking
the lists of land advertised for sale for taxes, which was a task or
considerable magnitude, as the aggregate number of tracts advertised
was probably in excess of 25,000. In addition to this, during the
summer of 1909, a careful examination of the records pertaining to
the enrollment of Cherokee freedmen was necessary in order to re-
port to the Court of Claims certain information required in connec-
tion with the Moses Whitmire case, and during the year all leases on
file in the Union Agency, several thousand in number, were checked
with the records of this office and new certificates supplied, showing
the enrollment status of the lessor and the nature of the allotment of
the land, whether homestead or surplus. These matters, together
with many others of minor importance, engaged probably hwf the
time of the force of this division during the year.
The principal items of work now in sight to be a(x;omplisheli dur-
ing the ensuing vear are as follows: The completion of the tract
books already referred to. The preparation and issuance of deeds
to the tracts reserved from allotment for churches and cemeteries.

FIVE GIVIUZED TBIBBS. 179
Notations on the proper records of the sale of the unallotted lands
as this shall progress and the preparation and issuance of deeds to
such tracts as are sold. The issuance of deeds and certificates to
minor Cherokees enrolled under the act of April 26^ 1906, when the
case involving their rights is decided, if such decision is in their
fsLYor. In the event oi an adverse decision these selections must be
canceled and the land disposed of in some manner. In the event of
a favorable decision in this case rolls must be prepared from which
to equalize these allotments.
In addition to these principal items there will be a multitude of
smaller matters naturally incident to the closing of a task of so ^reat
magnitude and so many complications. Furthermore, the work of
the preparation of certified copies of records and that of checking
leases and applications for the removal of restrictions with the allot-
ment and enrollment records of this office show no sign of any
material decrease.
EQUALIZATION OF ALLOTKBNTS.
The act of Congress of March 3, 1909 (35 Stat., 782), provided
that allottees of the Cherokee, Choctaw, ana Chickasaw nations hav-
ing remnant allotments due them of not exceeding $50 in value, shall
be paid twice the appraised value thereof in Heu of the amount
necessary to complete meir allotments.
In accordance with this provision of law. pay rolls were prepared
from which to make these payments, and tne pavment to Cnerokees
was be^n on January 10, 1910, and that to the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw citizens on March 15, 1910.
The pay roll of the Cherokees contains the names of 35,013 citizens,
having due them $174,814.34, while on the Choctaw and Chickasaw
pay roll there are names of 36,849 citizens having due them $317,997.
At the close of the fiscal year there had been paid to 16,006 citizens
of the Cherokee Nation on this account $91,819.16 and to 11,875
Choctaws and Chickasaws $120,094.34.
Considerable difficulty is encountered in making this payment for
the reason that the amounts are so small, being in many instances
only a few cents, that persons entitled to such payments are slow
in making applications, and in cases where the allottee is dead, if
no administrator has already been appointed, the amount involved
in this payment is not sufficient to justify the expense of administra-
tion, which requires on the part or the office a determination of the
heirs before the payment can be made.
In the Cherokee Nation payment is made only to citizens enrolled
as of September 1, 1902, on account of the fact that the rights of
minors enrolled under the act of April 26, 1906, are involved m suit.
Of the citizens enrolled as of September 1, 1902, there remain about
900 whose names do not appear on this pay roll for the reason that
they had due them on their allotments more than $50 or their selec-
tions were involved in contest at the time this roll was prepared.
The act of April 26, 1906, provides that allotments on which there
is due more than $50 can be eaualized and the names of all Cherokees
not appearing on the roll already approved have been placed on
another roll £om which a payment will be made imder the provisions
of this act.

roadways to remove the timber and for the maintenance of buildings,
mills, etc., necessary for the labor.
Under the provisions of these sales relative to rights of way for
tramways, railroads, etc, no serious attempts have come to the notice
of the office to build a railroad other than small tramways, except
in one instance, the provision in the contract of such company reading
as follows :
And the party of the, first part, In coDslderatloB of the payments hereinbefore
made, further grants and conveys unto the party of the second part, its suc-
cessors and assigns, the right of way 100 feet in width, for the purpose of con-
structing, maintaining, and operating a railroad and tramway across any por-
tion of the said tract, where the line of the railroad of the party of the second
part shall be surveyed and finally located. Said right of way shall ext^d 50
feet on each side of the center line of said railroad.
This company, under a separate contract, termed a lease, attempts
to secure for a term of twenty years a strip of land on each side of
the center line of the railroad uieretofore acquired for the removal
of timber, and under these two instruments has commenced the con-
struction of a standard guage railroad across the lands of restricted
allottees.
Pretentious as this railroad appears to be from the part so far
constructed, no attempts have been made to acquire the right of way
over the land under the Enid and Anadarko act, nor has any incor-
poration been had under the laws of the State, consequently it will
not be a common carrier when completed and will not be required
to accept a class of freight that it does not desire.
To this date, the removal of timber under these sales has not been
begun for the lack of transportation facilities, and the completion
of this railroad will probably mark the putting into execution of
many of those unconscionable transactions.
On March 14, 1910, the report of this investigation was made to
the department and transmitted for appropriate action to the Depart-
ment of Justice, where the matter is now pending.
TAXATION OP RBSTRICTBD LANDS.
The act of Congress approved May 27, 1908 (35 Stat., 312), pro-
vides that restrictions may be removed upon the alienation of the
land allotted to certain classes of citizens or the Five Civilized Tribes
and that the lands upon which the restrictions are so removed
should be subject to taxation, and the remaining restricted lands
exempt from taxation, until such time as the restrictions should be
removed therefrom.
The same act made an appropriation of $16,000 to enable the Secre-
tary of the Interior to furnish the various counties of the State of
Oklahoma certified copies of such portions of the records of the
office as affect title to lands in the respective counties, in order that
the various counties might be able readily to determine what land
had been allotted and from what allotted land the restrictions had
been removed. In accordance with this provision of law there was
furnished these counties lists of all allotments in the Five Civilized
Tribes, in which lists the land was described and the enrollment
status of each allottee was given. Notwithstanding all of this, in
September, 1909, when the various counties published their lists of
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
FIVE CIVIIJZBD TBIBBS. 183
land advertised for sale for nonpayment of taxes, it was found that
large numbers of tracts of restricted lands were included. When
this fact came to the notice of the office, a careful check was made
of all such advertisements, and application was made to the United
States court for an injunction restraining the officials of the various
counties from selling for nonpayment of taxes any lands in the
restricted class. The same condition arose in May, 1910, only even
more restricted land was advertised for sale for nonpayment oi taxes
for the year 1909 than in the first instance. A check of these adver-
tisements was again made and an injunction again secured restrain-
ing the sale of these restricted lands. Efforts have been made to
prevail upon the countv officials to omit such lands from their tax
usts and thus prevent the recurrence of this condition.
IliLEOAIi CONVEYANCES OP ALLOTTED IiANDS.
No further action has been taken by this office in connection with
the institution of suits to set aside illegal conveyances of allotted lands
prior to the removal of restrictions nirther than to keep a record of
such cases for use should it be determined to file any more such suits,
which is not thought advisable until the courts shall have finally
passed on the cases already submitted. Of the 27,380 suits filed there
were 1,543 dismissed during the past year, which, with the 3,076 dis-
missed prior to July 1, 1909, makes a total of 4^619.
The grounds upon which these cases were dismissed appear in the

« Successor to McAlester Coal Mining Co.
^ Operations of this company carriea on under contract on approved leaaes of Choctaw, Oklahoma and
Gulf Railroad Company.
The coal mined this year amounted to 2,692,291 tons, compared
with 2,728,437 tons mined in 1909, showing a decrease of 86,146 tons.
The decrease in this year's output, compared with the output of
1909, is due to the suspension of work at all coal mines in the Choctaw
Nation, the suspension beg^ning on April 1, 1910, and being due to
the failure of representatives of the operators and representatives
of the miners to agree upon a new scale of wages, the old scale having
expired March 31, 1910.
The suspension still continues. Representatives of the operators
and representatives of the miners have been holding conferences
almost continuously since the suspension began, but so far the con-
troversy has not been adjusted. It is now believed, however, that
an agreement will be reacned not later than the week beginning July
18, 1910.

The royalty includes all amounts paid as advance royaltv and pay-
ments on account of failure to mine the required output oi 3,000 tons
the first year, 4,000 tons the second year, 7,000 tons the third year,
8,000 tons the fourth year, and 15,000 tons the fifth and each succeed-
ing year thereafter. Therefore the amount of royalty as shown in
the statement is not the exact amount which should be paid by com-
puting the royalty at 8 cents per ton on the output.
The suit Drought to collect from John F. McMurray certain
amounts of advance royalty and certain amount on account of failure
to mine the required annual output was heard by the United States
court of the eastern district of Oklahoma, and it was held that the
regulations of the Secretary of the Interior requiring an annual out-
f)ut prescribed under date of April 27, 1900, did not apply to the
eases of McMurray in view of the fact they had been approved prior
to the date of such regulations. On June 25, 1910, an act of Congress

was approved granting to the Savanna Coal Company the right to
add 200 acres of segregated coal land to its coal lease and granting
the Denison Coal Company permission to relinquish 720 acres of land
included in its lease and to add to said lease in lieu thereof 960 acres.
The said relinquishments and additions had not been consummated
at the end of the fiscal year.
The following assignments of coal leases were approved by tiie
Secreta^ of the Interior on the dates stated: McAlester and Gal-
veston Coal and Mining Company, a partnership, to the McAlester
and Calveston Coal Mining Company, a corporation, March 26, 1910;
McAlester Coal Mining (S)mpany to the McAlester Coal and Coke
Company, March 25, 1910.
Oi the nine asphalt companies* the following have carried on no
operation whatever during the year: American Mineral Wax Com-
pany, Elk Asphalt Company, Farmer Asphalt Company, Tar Spring
Asphalt Company.
The records of the coal and asphalt companies are carefully
checked by the mining trustees for the Choctaw and Chickasaw na-
tions, who submit report at the end of each quarter showing the
amount mined by each company and the royalty paid thereon. These
reports are then carefully checked with the tfnited States Indian
superintendent, to whom all payments are made, and where any dis-
crepancies are found the matter is at once taken up with the com-
pany and proper adjustment made.
Mr. William Cameron, supervisor of mines, resigned, effective May
11, 1910, stating that on accoimt of advanced age he was unable to
properly attend to his official duties. It is not considered necessary
to appomt anyone in his place, in view of the fact that the coal oper-
ations are under the supervision of the mining trustees, t^o can
attend to the duties performed by Mr. Cameron, except such as come
within the jurisdiction of the state mine inspector.
Report of the United States Indian superintendent shows that
1,661 mineral leases covering restricted allotments were filed in his
office during the year, making a total of 20,828 of such leases filed
up to June 30, 1910. Onlj 3fi3 leases were pending on June 30, 1910.
Approximately 3,200 oil wells were drilled in the Mid-Continent
field during the fiscal year, of which 1,149 were under leases approved
by the Secretary of the Interior. About 44,221,000 barrels were
marketed during the year, and it is estimated that there were 44,323,-
583 barrels held in storage on June 30, 1910. The following shows
the receipts on account of royalty from oil, gas, and other individual
royalties by fiscal years, together with disbursements :

TOWN SITES.
During the fiscal year 1910 two plats, showing additions to the town
of Wilburton aggregating 9.657 acres, and one plat showing an addi-
tion of 7.5 acres to the town of Hartshome on segre^ted coal land,
were approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Aufliority waa^ also
granted to survey and plat land for town-site purposes at Cottonwood
and Dow on segregated cool land under the provisions of section 7
of the act of May 29, 1908 ^35 Stat., 444:) . The survey at these towns
had been practicaJly completed by June 30, 1910, but the plats had
not been submitted for approval.
Thirty supplemental schedules, showing the disposition of town
lots which were necessary in order to complete the unfinished work
of the town-site commission or correct errors in the original schedules,
were submitted for approval. One himdred and one lists of lots,
covering 588 lots in 100 towns, upon which payments were delinquent,
were prepared, and the department declared the lots and the pay-
ments made thereon forfeited.
During the year 1,967 vacant lots and 2,581 forfeited lots were ad-
vertised and sold at public auction in the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw,
and Chickasaw nations. The amounts realized from such sales ag-
gregated $142,591.25. There still remain to be disposed of about
1,219 vacant town lots and 705 forfeited town lots, in addition to a
number of lots which were originally reserved for the use of coal
companies in their mining operations in various towns within the
segregated coal area in the Choctaw Nation.
A total of 306 towns have been surveyed and platted by the Govern-
ment in the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw nations as

There remain two contest cases involving town lots which have
not been finally disposed of. One is pendmg before the Secretary
of the Interior on appeal ; the other has been neard, but decision not
yet rendered.
DISTRICT AGENTS.
After a trial of two years the usefulness of the district acency
service has been fully demonstrated, and by reason of the large
nimiber of Indians, the extent of country, and complicated concS-
tions existing, their services are indispensable to the protection of
the interests of the restricted citizens oi the Five Civilized Tribes.
The primary object of this service was for the protection of minor
allottees of the Five Civilized Tribes. In the performance of this
duty the district agents met with some embarrassment by the erro-
neous impression, prevalent throughout the country, that, as federal
representatives, they sought to usurp the prerogative of the state
officials. As their true wject became known this feeling has been
overcome, and in 27 counties there is an earnest and conscientious
cooperation between the probate courts and the district agents; in
3 counties it is only partial, while in 10 counties the courts not
only fail to ask assistance of the district agents, but appear to resent
any appearance they make on behalf of minors. It is needless to
state tnat from the class of counties last mentioned comes the great
majority of complaints of mismanagement of estates, charges a^inst
the probate courts, and investigations by the state officials.
The complaints became so numerous and the alleged frauds aj>-
peared so flagrant that it became necessary to employ a special
assistant to the Attorney-General for the Seminole Nation for the
purpose of assisting these allottees.
In addition to probate matters, the duties of district agents in-
clude the adjustment of intruder cases, the handling of mineral,
agricultural, and grazing leases, the rendition of assistance to the
Department of Justice in connection with the investigation and
adjustment of suits to clear titles, the investigation of matters of
minor importance for this office, the investigation of the execution
of deeds by fuU-blood heirs where the allottee died jjrior to May 27,
1908, and the appraisement of land from which restrictions had been
removed by special action of the Secretary of the Interior, together
with the appraisement of land whenever requested by the probate
court in some matter pending before it. An enumeration, without
attempting to show the necessary work to complete each case^ is
^own below:

There are three supervising district agents, one for the office and
two for the field. Tne duties of this branch of the service are so
manifold that no attempt can be made to enumerate them. How-
ever, the field supervisors are principally occupied by legal matters,
and the benefits of their successes in appearing for restricted Indians
who, in remote districts, have been sued under many claims without
any foimdation whatever, have been so far-reaching as to operate
greater than anv other action in reconciling the heretofore disaffected
class to the conditions of the severance of tribal relations.
The reports heretofore made of the successes of this svstem are
reiterated, but the efficiency would be raised to a remarkable extent
by an increase in the force, which would allow more deliberate con-
sideration and closer attention to individual matters.
SCHOOLS.
The annual report of Oscar H. Lipps, supervisor in charge, is
transmitted herewith. Mr. Lipps assumed charge of the schools in
the Five Civilized Tribes on January 10, 1910, relieving John D.
Benedict, superintendent of schools, ifr. Walter Falwell, super-
visor of schools of the Creek and Seminole nations; Mr. Calvin
Ballard, supervisor of schools of the Choctaw Nation; and Mr.
Frederick H. Umholtz, supervisor of schools of the Chickasaw
Nation, were also relieved on the same date.
Mr. Lipps states that it has been decided, in view of the dilapi-
dated condition of many of the school buildings, to abandon part of
the same and repair and properly equip the remaining schools, and
introduce in the course oi study the subjects of agriculture, manual
training, • domestic science, etc. The school work in each nation is
discussra below.
The total cost of maintaining the schools was $412,065.78 during
the fiscal year 1910, as compared with $578,594.03 during the year
1909.
During the year the Cherokee Male Seminary near Tahlequah was
destroyed by fire. From Mr. Lipps's report it appears that one board-
ing school in the Cherokee Nation, three in the Creek Nation, and
three in the Chickasaw Nation were to be abandoned. Arrangements
have also been mi^de by which Indian pupils in the restricted classes,

TRIBAIi REVENUES.
Section 11 of the act of Congress approved April 26, 1906 (84
Stats., 137), provides in part as follows:
That aU revenues of whatever character accmtn^ to the Choctaw, Chickasaw,
Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole tribes, whether before or after dlssolntion of the
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
VIVB CIVILIZED TBIBES. 197
tribal goyemments, shall after the approval hereof be collected by an officer
appointed by the Secretary of the Interior under rules and regulations to be
prescribed by him ; and he shall cause to be paid all lawful claims against said
tribes which may have been contracted after July first, nineteen hundred and
two, or for which warrants have been regularly issued, such payments to be
made from any funds in the United States Treasury belonging to said tribes.
All such claims arising before dissolution of the tribal governments shall be
presented to the Secretary of the Interior within six months after such dissolu-
tion, and he shall make all rules and regulations necessary to carry this pro-
vision into effect, and shall pay all expenses incidoit to the investigation of the
validity of such claims or indebtedness out of the tribal funds.
Under such provision the United States Indiad superintendent was
designated by the Secretwv of the Interior as the officer to receive all
revenues due the tribes. This office has jurisdiction of matters pertain-
ing to tribal land and property and supervises the matter of ccnlecting
revenues therefrom. Moneys receivea from this source are not taken
up and deposited by the superintendent until receipt of report from
this office. As soon as the land is allotted jurisdiction of matters per-
taining thereto passes to the office of the United States Indian superin-
tendent if the land is restricted, and if unrestricted it passes beyond
the jurisdiction of the department entirely, except in an advisory
capacity.
During the year two grazing-fee inspectors have been employed,
together witii such assistants as were needed during a portion of the
year, in collecting grazing fee or rental for the use of unallotted land
in the Five Civilized Tribes, and also the segre^ted coal and asphalt
land in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. The remittances, after
being carefully checked in this office, are transmitted to the United
States Indian superintendent to be deposited to the credit of the
proper tribe or tribes.
There has been but little resistance to the collection of these fees
by the occupants of the land, although it has been necessary in a few
instances to remove persons who refuse to make payment. Remit- .
tances were received from this source from 4,125 persons, aggregating
$100,790.69, distributed as follows :
Cherokee Nation $19. 60
Creek Nation 1, 064. 61
Seminole Nation 98. 70

Under the clause of the Indian appropriation act approved April
30, 1908, providing that the Secretary of the Interior shall take pos-
session ox all tribal buildings on lands belongi^^g to the Five Civilized
Tribes, together with the nimiture therein, and the land appertain-
ing thereto, and appraise and sell the same when in his discretion
it IS advisable to do so. and to lease the same if desirable until they
are disposed of, the following sales and leases were made:

During the year 140 applications were received under section 10 of
the act of May 29, 1908, for not exceeding 2 acres of tribal land for
school sites. Practically all this land had been appraised at the end
of the fiscal year with a view to selling it to the school districts.
All warrants drawn by tribal authorities of the Five Civilized
Tribes for salaries of tribal officers and other expenses of their gov-
ernments are submitted direct to this office for examination and
approval and are not circulated ; after approval they are transmitted
to the United States Indian Superintendent at Union Agency, who
issues his official check in payment thereof.
AlilENATION OF ALIiOTMENTS.
The report of the superintendent shows that 6,732 applications
were filea during the year bv allottees of the Choctaw, Chickasaw,
Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole nations for the removal of restrictions
on land allotted to them ; 2,004 applications, affecting 64,146.96 acres,
were approved conditionally, the land to be advertised and sold under
the direction of the superintendent; 1,331, affecting 76,684.47 acres,

inherited land.
Six hundred and twenty-nine tracts of land, aggregating 53,192.75
acres, were advertised and sold by the superintendent during the year,

change was made in the method of advertising these lands so as to
show the appraisement of the land in the advertisement.
DRUiUNG ON SEGREGATED COAL laAND.
The Indian appropriation act of June 21, 1906 (34 Stat, 195),
contained the following provision:
That the Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to make practical and
exhaustive investigation of the character, extent, and value of the coal deposits
in and under the segregated coal lands in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations,
Indian Territory, and the expense thereof, not exceeding the sum of fifty thou-
sand dollars, shall be paid out of the funds of the Choctaw and Chickasaw na-
tions in the Treasury of the United States: ProiHdedy That any and all infor-
mation obtained under the provisions of this act shall be available at all times
for the use of the Congress and its committees.
Under said act, drilling of test holes on these segregated lands
commenced in the fall of 1908 and was completed m June, 1909.
Thirty-seven holes, ranging in depth from 113 to 1,510 feet, were
drilled, and also considerable information was secured from coal
operators, who had prospected on these lands. The data secured
from these operations, and from coal operators, were carefully studied
by William Cameron, supervisor of mines, and the mining trustees
of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, and report submitted as to
the land which was considered underlain with coal, the thickness of
the veins, etc. These reports are embodied in Senate Document No.
890, Sixty-first Congress, second session.
Mr. Cameron submitted two reports concerning the estimated acre-
age and value of coal deposits, one dated July 31, 1909, and the other
November 5, 1909. These reports show the total workable area of
coal on segregated lands to be 283,649 acres on July 1, 1908, and the
estimated value of deposits alone, not including the surface of the
land, $12,319,039.
The correspondence and data concerning the drilling operations
and the estimated acreage and value of the coal deposits are contained
in Senate Document No. 390, Sixty-first Congress, second session.
Very respectfully,
J. Geo. Weight,
Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes.

REPORT OP THE UNITED STATES INDIAN SUPERIN-
TENDENT AT UNION AGENCY.
Muskogee, Okla., JvHaj £7, 1910.
The annual report of the business transacted at the Union Agency,
Muskogee, Okla., for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, is respect-
fully submitted.
GENERAL STATEMENT.
To the end that the work devolving upon this office may be handled
most expeditiously, the office force is organized along lines which are
best calculated to serve this purposeL The work naturally divides
itself into broad general divisions, which may be classified as t&e
executive force, by whom all matters of policy relating to the manage-
ment of affairs generally are determined; the routine work of 9ie
office, which is under the general supervision of the chief derk and is
apportioned among the various divisions; the field work, consisting
of the district agency service, land appraisers, oil inspectors, and field
clerks employed on special work ; and the financial department, where
all detail matters ox finance are handled. Experience has demon-
strated that the organization alon^ the lines suggested is best adapted
to the character of the work to be done, insuring, as it does, the fullest
consideration of every phase of a subject before action is taken.
By means of a system of individual reports rendered monthly by
all office employees, it is possible at any time to determine with a fair
degree of accuracy the relative value of the services of each employee,
as well as to ascertain his or her qualifications for a particular class of
work. This syst^n has been found to be a great aid in the placing of
employees in positions where the most satisfactory and efficient service
can be rendered.
During the year there have been employed at the agency 134 adult
Indian citizens who have occupied positions both in tne office and in
the field, many of them performing work requiring a high degree of
discretion. Tne total amount paid in salaries to this class of em-
Eloyees during the year amounts to $27,482.28. Considering the num-
er of Indians employed and the character of work performed by
them, it may be said that their employment has proved beyond ques-
tion that they may be depended upon to perform efficient service in
any branch of the work.
CASHIEB'S OFFICE.
All incoming mail is received and opened in the cashier's division
and all money received in such mail is there retained and accounted
for. This system eliminates the possibility of any money being
handled by persons other than bonded employees. Inasmuch as prac-
200
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
pivE crvnJZBD tribes. 201
ti(»IIy all of the funds received by this office come through the mails,
it is apparent that the danger of money going astray or being unac-
counted for is reduced to the minimimi. It is probable that in no
other division is there such a volume of miscellaneous items requiring
immediate attention, and in order that every item may be handled
with the greatest dispatch consistent with accuracy, a thorough, up-
to-date system of bookkeeping is in vogue, all of which is in charge of
competent employees who are under bond and are thoroughly familiar
with the work which they are required to perform.
During the year the total receipts passing through the cashier's
office amounted to $2,562,736.27, representing 44,895 separate rwnit-
tance entries.
Owing to the great volume of detail work occasioned by the receipt
and disbursement of moneys at the Union Agency, commencing with
the new fiscal year the cashier of the agency nas oeen made an officer
bonded to the United States and designated a special disbursing agent
and will hereafter handle the funds in his own name, under the super-
vision of the superintendent, thereby relieving the superintendent of
the burdens of the accounting details. This change will be a decided
improvement in administration.
ACCOXTNTS DIVISION.
The total amount of money passing through the agency for the
vear was $4,746,700.»4, of which $2,562,736.27 was collected and
$2,183,964.67 disbursed.
The accounts division also paid 14,459 royalty vouchers, 4,400 land-
sale vouchers, and 1,907 regular disbursement vouchers, a total of
20,766, as compared with 19,999 last year.

FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES. 207
MAILTNG DIVISION.
During the fiscal year there were received 3,673 departmental and
71,185 miscellaneous letters. In addition to the foregoing there were
received approximately 29,634 vouchers, statements, circulars, and so
forth, which were not numbered as letters, making a grand total of
104,492 pieces of incoming mail.
There were dispatched from this office during the fiscal year 6,393
departmental and 142,079 miscellaneous letters, a total of 149,472
pieces, and there were also sent out approximately 53,534 pieces of
mail, consisting of vouchers, statements, circulars, and so forth, which
were not num^red, and which, added to the regular outgoing letters,
makes a total of 203,006 pieces for the year. The total number or
pieces of mail handled by this office, incoming and outgoing, amounts
to 807,498.
Notwithstanding the great volume of mail as indicated by these
figures, the letters on hand unacted upon at the close of the fiscal year,
as shown by the records of the mailing division, amount to only 1,079,
or 0.0144 per cent of the letters received during the year. From these
figures it is apparent that the work of the office in all departments is
current. The small number of letters remaining on hand are of such
a nature that it is practically impossible to dispose of them imtil some
action is taken either by the department or by persons who are
interested in the subject-matter.
TYPSWBITEB DIVISION.
The practicability of maintaining a separate division for general
stenographic work has been again thoroughly demonstrated during
the past year. The typewriter division is composed of stenographers
and typewriters who are familiar with all branches of the work. A
vast amount of routine work from all branches of the office is turned
into this division, where it is handled promptly and exp^itiously
without interfering with the current work of the division. It is also
a very advantageous plan for the handling of work requiring imme-
diate attention. In such cases the entire force of the division can be
directed to the completion of the particular piece of work, and the
same can be gotten out without appreciable loss of time and without
seriously interfering with the general run of work.
FIELD DIVISION.
The field organization has remained the same as the year previous,
the 40 counties in the Five Civilized Tribes being divided into 15
districts with 1 district agent in charge, giving to each district over
6,000 tribal members, at least 2,000 of whom are Indians still within
the restricted class. The second year of the district agency work
was even more successful than the first, not only in the amount of
money saved allottees, but also in educating and training Indian
citizens by counsel and advice not to enter into inequitable and illegal
transactions concerning their allotted and inherited lands.
At the close of the first year of this work it was, to a certain extent,
congested. During the second year this congestion has been con-
siderably relieved, and while the district agency force is not yet
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
208 FIVE CIYIUZED TBIBES.
adequate to take care of the work, most matters can be ^ven the
required attention within a reasonaole time. This is especially true
as to applications for removal of restrictions and the consequent sale
of lands.
It has been possible during the year to give much attention to pro-
bate matters, thus relieving conditions materially, especially with
reference to the checking and adjusting of guardianship matters of
minor allotteea Such matters were, during the past year, more
closely looked after than heretofore and the district agencj force has
been able to cooperate more closely with the county jjudges and
county and state authorities. In this connection especial mention
should be made of the active and effective cooperation of Miss Kate
Barnard, state commissioner of charities and corrections, in connec-
tion witii guardianship cases of minor Indian orphans who are
inmatiw of Sie various state charitable institutions.
' In connection with the intruder division of this office the district
aeents have investigated and successfully adjusted all intruder cases
where an adjustment was possible.
A considerable increase is shown in the number of oil and gas,
agricultural, and grazing leases filed with the district agents and
submitted for action to mis office after investi^tion, especial atten-
tion having been given to those taken for agricultural and srazinff
purposes. The careful attention given to these matters has been of
material benefit to allottees in many cases, a substantial increase in
the amount of bonus, royalties, or rentals having been secured or
more extensive improvements naving been provided for in agri-
cultural lea^ses.
The district agents continued during the past' year to be of much
assistance to the Department of Justice in connection with investi-
S.ting and adjusting suits to clear title to restricted allotted lands in
e Five Civilized Tribes, pending in the United States circuit court,
and at the request of the Assistant Attorney-General in charse or
such suits the district agents interviewed tiie allottees in a large
number of cases where such suits have been adjusted and wherem
the lands are now unrestricted. Such interviews show that a very
small percentage of the allottees reconveyed the lands in question to
the defendant or to anyone without a reasonable compensation.
Much additional work was placed upon the district agents during
the year in investigating and reporting cases where ^ntees desire
to have deeds executed by full-blood heirs of deceased allottees who
died prior to May 27, 1908, approved by the Secretary of the Interior.
In oraer to make an intelligent report and recommendation in these
matters, it is necessary that the district agents view and appraise the
land and interview the allottees to see whether or not they have re-
ceived an adequate consideration at the time of the sale, and inas-
much as the majority of these transactions are from 2 to 5 years old,
it is not only difficult to locate the heirs but difficult to ascertain
when the same are located whether they actually received a reasonable
consideration for such lands.
During the year the district agents have attended to many miscel-
laneous matters for the office of the Commissioner to the Five Civil-
ized Tribes, thus avoiding the many expensive trips of employees from
the office of the commissioner.

FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES. . 209
There has been no trouble during the year with the " Snake," or
recalcitrant allottees of the Five Civilized Tribes, and this may be
largely attributed to t&e cordial personal relation and dose supervi-
sion of the district agents with these Indians.
The district agents have cooperated with the local state and the
United States Indian school authorities in seeing that, as far as pos-
sible, all Indian children have advantage of the school facilities.
The prospect for the district agency work for the coming year is
very bright, althouj^h hampered by the fact that a large percenta^
of the Indians live &om 60 to 100 miles from the best portion of their
allotted lands. We are planning for the coming year, with the
cooperation of the district agents, the expert farmers who have been
assigned to the Five Civilized Tribes, and the State Board of Agri-
culture, to do a wonderful amount of good to the individual Indians
in teaching them^ and assisting them to plant better and more exten-
sive, as well as intensive crops, and it is believed that the coming
year of the district agency work will result in more good than during
the first and second years, for the reason that these years were, to a
certain extent, devoted to investigating and building up plans and
methods.
The following tabulation discloses to a limited extent the amount
and dharacter of the detail work done by the district agents. The
amount shown as saved for Indians represents only the actual,
tangible money saved. The intan|^ble saving and losses prevented
are much greater, and a conservative estimate of the total saving to
allottees by reason of the district agency work during the year is
$1,000,000.

The^ field divisicm also has general supervision over the land
appraisers, as well as the work performed by field clerks in the
investigation of matters requiring special attention, which can not
be given by the district agents in connection with their regular duties.
The work is so varied in its nature that a tabulated statement can not
be made to convey an adequate idea of its scope or extent. In addi-
tion to this the newly appointed agricultural experts will cooperate
with and be a part oi the regular field force.
During the year the office has had under way the very complicated
matter of making a roll of the heirs of deceased Seminoles. This
work arose in connection with the per capita distribution of the
annual interest on the Seminole fund. In making these payments
it was ascertained that approximately one-fourth of the originally
enrolled Seminoles had died since enrollment. The amounts due the
heirs were so small and the expense of administration so great, ^ar-
ticuluarly where professional administrators would secure appoint-
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
210 FIVB CIVILIZED TBIBEa
ments for the sole purpose of drawing this money, it was believed that
the expense of acuninistration would be entirely out of proportion
with the amount of money involved, and therefore in order to save
this monev to the Indian heirs, this office, by authority of the depart-
ment, undertook the preparation of a roll of the heirs. The work of
securing proofs of heirship through the field force has been exception-
ally slow and tedious, owing to the peculiar customs in the Seminole
Nation with reference to marriage, aescent, and distribution of prop-
erty. When the roll is completed and approved so that payment can
be made direct to the heirs it will result in material benent to these
full-blood Seminoles.
Numerous complaints have been made by Seminole citizens during
the last few months with reference to the fraudulent practice of
alleged land grafters in the Seminole Nation. These complaints
cover a very wide range, including actions in ejectment brought by
persons holding deeds, the validity of which has been attacked in
courts, and ousting Indians from their allotments, and cases of
alleged absolute torg^rj. These alleged fraudulent transactions
seem to be so extensive and were confirmed in such a large measure
by the investigations of the district agents that the necessity of the
employment of a special United States attorney for the purpose of
assisting the allottees in the Seminole Nation was brought to the at-
tention of the department and urgently recommended. The last
session of Congress provided for such employment, and it is under-
stood the Department of Justice has detailed an attorney for the
Seminole Nation whose services will soon commence. It is believed
that this will materially assist in relieving the present unfortunate
conditions in that nation. The restricted lands of full-blood and
other allottees of the Five Civilized Tribes are not subject to taxation.
However, undoubtedly through inadvertence, in a large number of
counties such restricted lands have been assessed for taxation and in
cases where the assessments have been extended upon the tax rolls
the county treasurers have advertised the same for sale for nonpay-
ment of taxes. In such cases it has been necessary, through the dis-
trict agency force, to ascertain what land has been improperly taxed
and in conjunction with the Commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes to have steps taken through the United States court to restrain
the sale of such lands. For the current year effort will be made to
prevent the assessment of restricted lands by early cooperation of the
district agents with the assessing boards.
INTBUDEB DIVISION.
It has been the plan to transfer the field work heretofore handled
by the intruder division to the district agency force as rapidly as
circumstances will permit. This plan has been followed during the
year, so far as possible, with the result that most intruder com-
plaints are finally adjusted by the district agents to the satisfaction
of all complaining parties.
Considerable correspondence is occasioned in connection with com-
plaints of Cherokee freedmen whose rights to allotment are yet unde-
termined and frequent written and personal requests for assistance
are made, which, of course, can not be rendered at this time. It has
also been necessary to make extensive research among the records of

sissippi Choctaw cases which are pending before the Court of Claims.
TOWN-SITE DIVISION.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, there was paid into this
office $87,068.21 in payment on town lots, which is distributed among
the different nations as follows:
Cherokee Nation $12,837.80
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations 67, 386. 07

Total 87, 068. 21
DuringMay and June of the year just closed the Commissioner to
the Five Tribes offered for sale at public auction forfeited and vacant
lots in 179 government town sites in the various nations, all purchasers
of forfeited lots beinfi^ required to pay cash at the time of sale and
Eurchasers of vacant lots being required to pay one-half cash and the
alance in six months. The result of this sale is shown by the fol-

In addition to the regular work of the town-site division, as shown
by the foregoing tabulated statements, many complications have
arisen on account of the sale of lots by the original purchaser before
completing deferred payments, the grantee claiming to have no
knowledge of the delinquency and protesting against the forfeiture
and sale of such lots by the Government and clamiing to be an inno-
cent purchaser for value and without notice of delinquency. Suits
to restrain the sale of forfeited lots or the issuance of patents to
the purchasers thereof have been threatened. The position of the
department in this matter has been that the alleged transfer of title
to lots of this character will not be recognized, therefore no record
of such transfers has been kept in this office. If any attempt were
made to do so the time and labor required would be such as to poet-
pone indefinitely the conclusion of the town-site work. However,
special legislation has been asked to authorize the Secretary of the
Interior to accept payment of full amount of the purchase money
due, including interest to date of settlement, when the same is offered
by such alleged innocent purchaser.
The approval of the sale of vacant lots and the adjustment of the
matter of the sale of forfeited lots will practically dispose of the
payment for lots in the 300 original town sites of the Five Civilized
Tribes, excepting a few towns in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
and tiie additions to town sites established during the fiscal year 1909.
A few new additions to town sites on the segregated coal lands have
been recently authorized by the department and the payments for
these, after the appraisement, will be made in installments as here-
tofore.
BESTBICTION DIVISION.
The work of the restriction division is not confined wholly to
matters relating to removal of restrictions from allotted lands, but
also includes the handling of all cases relating to the sale of inherited
lands by full-blood heirs of deceased allott^s and the approval of
deeds executed by them. The tabulated statements herewith sub-
mitted do not indicate wholly the amount of work performed in con-
nection with matters within the jurisdiction of this division, there
being connected with each case a vast amount of detail which is not
apparent from statistical statements calculated only to show net
results.
On August 17, 1909, the Attorney-General of the United States
tendered an opinion wherein it was held that conveyances executed
by full-blood heirs of deceased allottees who died prior to May 27,
1908, must be approved by the Secretary of the Interior under the
provisions of section 22 of the act of April 26, 1906, or such other
provisions of law as might be applicable to the specific case submitted
lor consideration.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
FIVB CIVIIilZED TRIBES^ 213
The effect of this opmion can only be appreciated when it is under-
stood that prior to the passage of said act for a number of years it
had been the practice in eastern Oklahoma to secure instruments of
this character without submitting the same for approval by the Sec-
retary of the Interior. It was the general opinion among attorneys
that the provisions of the act of May 27, 1908, cured such defects as
might have existed in such instruments. The opinion of the Attorney-
General referred to, therefore, had the effect to make uncertain
a great many titles which had theretofore been considered good.
The duty of the Secretary of the Interior to approve such instru-
ments bein^ clearly defined by said opinion, it became necessary to
make provision for handling this class of work, and being more
nearly related to the work handled by the restriction division, it
naturally fell into that division.
From the inherited-land cases thus far submitted it appears that in
most cases there has been an inadequacy of consideration, same being
determined by the value of the land at the time the sale was made.
Where this condition exists the grantee in the deed is called upon to
pay into this office an amount in addition to that actually paid by him
sufficient to make the total equal the appraised value. As a result of
this system there has been collected tor full-blood heirs $28,653.79.
In addition to this, grantees have been called upon to pay $83,927.09.
upon receipt of which the deeds will be submitted for aepartmental
approval.
Owing to the various laws and treaties and amendments thereto in
force among the Five Civilized Tribes and the frequent changes in
such laws, the approval of deeds of this character gives rise to a
greater variety of legal complications than can be found in any other
brandi of our work. This is especially true with reference to ques-
tions of descent and distribution, concerning which every case presents
a new le^ question which must be determmed before any intelligent
action can be taken. This, in connection with the fact that in the most
ordinary cases an unusual amount of detail must be attended to,
makes necessary a high dejgree of care'in handling this work. Not-
withstanding the many difficult features to be contended with, how-
ever, an examination of the appended tabulation shows that nearly
50 per cent of the cases filed have been finally disposed of. It seems
probable that for a time at least this work will be considerably on the
mcrease.
In the matter of removal of restrictions care is exercised to deter-
mine the qualifications of the allottee, necessity for removal, the dis-
position 01 proceeds in case of sale, and such other features as may
appear to require attention as shown by the circumstances of each
case. Through the district agents and land appraiser every fact
which may have any bearing on the case is ascertamed, so that in all
cases submitted to the department for action every step has been taken
which will enable your office and the department to act intelligently
in the premises. Under the system now in vogue more individual
attention is given to each case than has ever been possible before.
Prompt attention to meritorious cases can now be ^ven while the
naturally improvident Indian can be protected against the conse-
(juences of his own folly. The advantage of this system to the allottee
is obvious.

SALES DIVISION.
As will be shown by the statistics under the head of restrictio^i
division, over 50 per cent of the applications for removal of restric-
tions are approved conditionally, i. e., the land may be sold under the
supervision of the department This action is taken in cases where
allottees can not read or write or have not sufficient business expe-
rience to warrant removing their restrictions absolutely. These sales
are conducted through the district agents and the detail work of
advertising^ direction of appraisers, and the handling of the accounts
after sales is attended to at tiie general office by the sales division.
^ During the year a most important change in the method of adver-
tising land sales has been made, consisting of the publication of the
appraised value of the land as determined lointly bjr expert land
appraisers and the district a^nts. The wisacHn of this change has
been thoroughly demonstrated, it appearing from the records of this
office that under the present public appraisement plan 45 to 50 per
cent of the tracts advertised have been sold, while under the secret
appraisement plan the highest percentage reached was 22. Further-
more, in addition to more land oeing sold, the average price per acre
under the new plan exceeds the average price over the old plan by
approximately $1 per acre.
There has also been a marked increase in the number of inquiries
received from persons interested in the purchase of lands, and it may
be interesting to note that many sales have been made to persons
living as far east as tiie New England States and as far west as the
State of Washington, and some inquiries have been received from
Alaska. It can readily be seen that this plan has proven beneficial
not only to the allottee but to the eastern portion of the State as well.

LEASE DIVISION.
During the fiscal year there were filed 1,563 mineral leases and 98
agricultural leases, a total of 1,661. As compared with the number
of leases filed during the previous year, an increase of 288 is shown.
A vast amount of work has been caused in the lease division as a
result of removal of restrictions by operation of law and the subse-
quent sale of the land by the allottee. This has occasioned an unusual
amount of correspondence in answering letters of inquiry from allot-
tees, purchasers, and the bond companies, all desiring to be advised
as to the status of leases of this character. Verbal inquiries have also
caused a very noticeable increase in the work.
The collection of delinquent royalties and rentals on the leases
which have been canceled by the aepnrtment has also received con-
siderable attention, and as a result it has been possible to close many
old accounts.

The disposition of assignments during the year has been delayed
considerably because the assi^ees have t>een somewhat reluctant to
agree to the approval of their assij^nments subject to departmental
onler of May 14, 1909, which in effect required assignees to consent
to the payment of oil royalties oa the basis of 41 cents per barrel.
This condition will now m all probability be alleviated by reason of
the fact that the department has modified its order referred to, fixing
the price basis for settlement of oil royalties at the general market
price at the time of the disposition of the oil.

ROYALTY DIVISIOK.
It is the function of the royalty division to handle all the indi-
vidual ledgers showing the credit and disbursement of all moneys
accruing as rentals ana royalties on oil, gas, and other individual or
tribal leases. Much work has. been done during the ^ear to systema-
tize the detail incident to the handling of the large variety of the work
which falls to this division. In this respect a more satisfactory con-
dition exists than in previous years. A diversity of methods and
plans for the perfection of the work has been adopted and many
accounts have been closed by reason of the sale of lands^ cancellation
of leases, and removal of unrestricted leases from supervision. There
has been a corresponding increase in accounts due to the development
of new territory and the approval of many new leases. By actual
count and comparison with the annual report for the fiscal year 1909
there is a decrease of 238 accounts.
On June 30, 1910, there were 8,596 open accounts on the books of
this division, of which 5,638 covered leases still under supervision
and 2,655 leases on which restrictions had been removed, the balance
of 308 representing various miscellaneous accounts.
Much attention has been devoted during the year to the separation
in the ledgers of restricted and unrestricted accounts. The vast
Digitized by VjOOQ IC

219
amount of work entailed in this separation can only be appreciated
when it is known that it is necessary to make a thorough examination
of the rolls in each case for the purpose of ascertaining the degree of
blood and designation of homesteaa and surplus lands, the age of the
allottee, and many other items necessary in order to determine the
class in which the particular account mi^ht belong. The completion
of this clasdfication will make it pos^ble to devote more attention
to the handling of accounts of the restricted class.
There has wso been completed during the year an identification-
card system, the purpose .of which is to avoid thepayment of royalties
to persons other than those entitled to them. The difficulty of iden-
tification prior to the installation of this system caused many compli-
cations.
The following is a tabulated statement of the receipts and dis-
bursements of oil, gas, and other individual royalties rrom 1904 to
1910:

The revenues derived from coal and asphalt royalties on the segre-
gated lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations during the year
were considerably in excess of those received during the year 1909,
the royalty on coal amounting to $246,962.64, and that on asphalt
being $3,199.12, making a total of $250,161.76.

OIL-FIELD INSPECTION.
The oil inspector's force has been very active during the present
year. Its duties cover a wide range, involving principafly the testing
of gas wells, investigation of complaints as to offset wells drilled on
adjacent lands, the probable value of land for oil and gas mining
purposes, adequacy of bonus considerations, complaints relative to

the operation of leases, and various other miscellaneous matters^
Special attention is also given to the checking of gaugers, particu-
larly on leases where the lessee is interested in the pipe-Tine company
takm^ the oiL An attempt is made to so distribute the field work
as to make it possible to frequently visit all wells. This has proved
to be a very satisf ac^tory system, insuring as it does the fullest inves-
tigation and at the same tmie affording to the lessees an opportunity
to make inauiries as to the requirements of the department in the
operation ox leases.
The problem of disposing of the output nf hich has herdx)f ore con-
frontea the oil producers m this fiela has been practically solved
during the year oy reason of the fact that the capacity of the small
independent refineries has been substantially increased and new refin-
eries established. There has also been a marked increase in pipe-line
facilities, an 8-inch pipe line from the Glenn Pool to Baton Koi^e,
La., with a canacity of from 10,000 to 12,000 barrels per day having
been completea. Ihiring the year the Gulf Pipe Line Company has
extended its main line from the Glenn Pool to the Cherokee and
Osa^ nations, near Ochelata, Okla. There were also a number of
smaller pipe lines constructed during this period. These added
facilities, together with the car shipments, have changed conditions
to such an extent that practically tne entire production in the Five
Civilized Tribes is beiuj^ taken care of. This is a condition which
has never before existed m the history of the oil business in Oklahoma.
There were drilled in the Mid-Continent field during the fiscal
year approximately 3,200 oil wells. Of this number 1,149 are pro-
ducing wells on departmental oil and gas leases.
The approximate production of oil as marketed during the fiscal
vear in the territory of the Five Civilized Tribes was 44,221,000
barrels, as shown bj reports which are reasonably accurate aad
which are embodied m the following tabulation :

From the foregoing, as nearly as can be ascertained, 28,000,000
barrels of oil were run from land held under departmental leases, on
which royalty was paid amounting to approximately $1,000,000.
Of the oil that has been marketed in the last few years the pipe-
line companies on June 30, 1910, held in storage in the Creek and
Cherokee nations 87,823,583 barrels. In addition there are approxi-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC

mately 6,500,000 barrels still held by producers in storage unsold,
making a total of 44,823,583 barrels in storage on June 30, 1910.
PIPE-LIKE DIVISIOK.
^ During the year, in addition to extensions and laterals to existing
lines ana the construction of pumping stations, there have been com-
pleted and are now in operation two new trunk lines, one for oil and
the pther for natural gas.
Since the approval by the Secretary of the Interior on July 14,
1909, of the method of direct payment to the allottee of damages
occasioned by the installation of pipe lines in cases where such lines
cross restricted lands, payments have been so made in the presence of
a representative of this office after the assessment of damages by
said representative. Aside from assuring to the allottee the receipt
of a fair consideration for damages sustained by him^ this method
has resulted in bringing into closer relationship to this office many
Indians whose confidence is desired.
^ A considerable amount of work has been occasioned in this divi-
sion during the year on account of the extension by the Oklahoma
Pipe Line Company, grantee of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company,
of an 8-inch oil line irom the Glenn Pool to Baton Rouge, La,, which
is now in operation. There have also been a number of smiill lateral
lines as well as a 16-inch gas line conveying gas from the Copan-
Caney gas district to the eastern line of the Cherokee Nation.
Through this and connecting lines gas is conveyed from this field to
the lead and zinc districts of Joplin, Mo.
SUMMARY.
In the handling of the business of this office it is assumed that the
allottee and the public are rightfully entitled to the same degree of
attention as would be bestowed upon them were they dealing with a
private business concern. All matters are therefore^ven as prompt
attention as is consistent with care and accuracy, havmg in mmd the
best interests of the allottee.
The tabulated statements submitted herewith can not be made to
convey an adequate idea of the amount and character of work done
by this office. This is especially true with respect to the good being
accomplished by the district agency and field service among the indi-
vidual allottees, also with reference to the immense volume of finan-
cial detail, the handling of applications for removal of restrictions,
and the suosequent sale of the land.
Particular attention is invited to the status of the removal of re-
striction work under existing law. A total of 140,831.48 acres of
restricted land has been made taxable, the restrictions having been
removed or the land sold through the district agents. All funds
handled by this office which are derived from the sale of restricted
lands and not immediately disbursed to the allottees are deposited
in national banks throughout eastern Oklahoma, it bein^ the purpose,
so far as practicable, to place these funds in local depositories nearest
the homes of allottees, to whom it is disbursed on the recommendation
of the district agents. Such disbursements are made to allottees for
the purpose of improving their remaining lands and to otherwise

Congress approved April 26, 1906. At that time it was not thought
that the schools would be continued more than one or two years, and
it was considered unwise to incur the ex|>ense of reorganizing the
schools and placing them on the same basis as other scnools in the
Indian Service if tney were to be continued for only one or two years.
Even now it is not definitely known how long these boarding schools
will be continued. Strong pressure is being brought to bear to secure
the passage of a law by CSncress with a view of winding up all tribal
affairs, capitalizing the tribal funds, and paying them out to the
members of the tribes per capita. This would mean that there would
be no funds from whicn to support an independent system of schools,
as is now being done. Notwitnstanding the fact that the condition
as to the future of these schools remains unchanged, it has been de-
cided to abolish a number of the boarding schools where the attend-
ance was small and the buildings in dilapidated condition, and to
repair and newly e^uip those to be retained, introducing in the course
of^ study the subjects of agriculture, manual traimng, domestic
science, etc The lack of a settled policy with reference to these
schools resulted in permitting the buildings to fall into a dilapidated
and insanitary condition, the equipment became worn out and imfit
for use, and in many cases the school plants were neglected, and much
criticism was made, both by whites and Indians, of the manner in
which the Government was conducting these schools. The policjr,
therefore, decided upon by the Office of Indian Affairs is to equip
and conduct a few schools properly, rather than to attempt to con-
duct a larger number as they nave been conducted during the past
four years.
The following is a list of the schools that have been abandoned :
BohooU abandoned during fiscal year ended June SO, 1910.
OHEBOKEE NATION.
Cherokee Colored Boarding School, near Tahlequah.
NATION.
Wetumka Boarding School, near Wetumka.
Creek Orphan Home, near Okmulgee.
Pecan Creek Boarding School (colored), near Muskogee.
CHICKASAW NATION*
Chickasaw Orphan Home, near Lebanon.
Harley Academy, near Tishomingo.
Bock Academy, near Wapanucka.
All other schools mentioned in the foregoing list will be continued,
and in those nations where the orphan schools have been discon-
tinued arrangements have been made for ^ving preference in all of
the tribal boarding schools to orphan children. Arrangements have
also been made by which Indian pupils between the ages of 14 and
21 in the restricted class (those whose lands are not yet taxable) may
be enrolled as pupils at Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kans. Many ap-
plications have been received from parents and guardians of minor
children for enrollment as pui)ils in that school. At this time about
60 applications have been received and accepted. It is believed that
at least 100 pupils in the Five Civilized Tribes will take advantage
of this privilege this year.

COEDUCATIOZr OF WHITES AND INDIANS IN THB FTTBIJC AND
STATE SCHOOI1&
It is often remarked that the full-blood Indian will not attend
with any regularity the public schools of the State. It is alleged that
a sensitive nature and retiring ways, together with the local preju-
dice, are the causes for his lack of interest in the public schools. To
some extent this is true, especially in isolated communities, wh^^
the schools are widely scattered, poorly equipped, and where the
white people take little interest in the education and elevation of
their Indian neighbors. But the fuU-blood Indian is more and
more receiving attention from the better class of white citizens who
have taken up their homes among th^n. Only a^ few days ago the
chairman of the state board of agriculture applied for a contract
for 10 full-blood Indian boys from each of the Five Civilized Tribes
for the State Agricultural and Mechanical School, located at Still-
water, Okla. He stated that he had lived among the Indians on the
east side of the State for a number of years, and that he had ob-
served Indian boys possessed a natural aptitude for doing things
with their hands. He appeared to be very much interested in the
uplift of the Indian, and I find that the presidents of the various
state schools throughout eastern Oklahoma are very much interested
in the future -of the Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes. The
state institutions will admit any Indian who is prepared to enter the
schools on the same terms as white pupils are admitted.
As the country is settled up with a good class of white citizens,
through the sale of inherited Indian lands and sale of Indian lands
from which restrictions have been removed, the local prejudice now
maintaining in many of the isolated rural districts will be gradually
overcome. For the present, however, in my opinion, the tribal board-
ing schools are a necessity, especially if their enrollment be confined
largely to the full-blood class. In many of the tribal boarding schools
95 per cent of the pupils enrolled last year were full bloods, and in
none of these schools were the enrollments less than one-half full
blood. Since these schools are maintained from tribal funds it would
seem that the above proportion is a very fair one for the full-blood
Indians. In my opinion, it would be unwise to abolish all of the
tribal schools at one stroke, but the weaker ones and less needed ones
should be eliminated gradually, and for a number of years one or
two good boarding sdiools sliould be maintained in each nation.
Many of the Indians have said to me that while some of the leaders
in the various tribes wish to abolish the boarding schools, still this
was not the wish of the mass; that the full-blood Indians now think
that since the mixed bloods derived nearly all the advantages of these
sdiools in past years the full bloods should now receive their share
of the benefits to be derived from their continuance. The full blood
argues that it is only lately that he is beginning to see the benefits to
be derived from the schools, and that the Government ought to exer-
cise a little more patience with him and to provide a way by which
at least a few of these boarding schools may be continued for a number
of years to come.

BUBAL DAY SCHOOLS.
During the past iSve years Congress has appropriated more than
$1,000^000 for the ^^maintenance, strengthening, and enlarging of
the tnbal schools of the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and
Seminole nations." This money, nowever, has been used to pajr the
salaries of teachers in the rural public schools in the Five Civilized
Tribes. In aiding these rural schools the number of Indian pupils
that were to attend them was never considered. In many of the
public schools thus aided there were no Indian pupils whatever in
attendance. Some cases have come to my notice where a teacher
would be given an appointment to teach a five-months' school at $50
per month, and would employ a substitute at $35 per month to teach
the school. From the reports coming to this office it would be
impossible to detect a matter of this kind, and for this and other
reasons it has been decided that hereafter no teachers in the public
schools of the State will be paid salaries by the Government. Instead,
tuition will be paid to the school district for Indian pupils in the
restricted class, oased on an average daily attendance. This plan so
far meets with the hearty approval of the county superintendents
throughout eastern Oklahoma. They resent somewhat what they
term " federal interference with the public - school system of the
State," and claim^ that our methods tend to the lowering of stand-
ards they are trying to maintain in the schools. In my opinion this
is one reason for the lack of interest on the part of county super-
intendents and school directors in the rural districts in getting the
Indians interested in the schools and encouraging them to attend.
So far this office has received assurances from a great many of the
county superintendents throughout the eastern part of the State and
from school directors in the rural districts that they would be glad
to cooperate with us in every possible way with a view of getting as
many of the full-blood Indian children into the public schools as
possible. I am thoroughly convinced that if the Office of Indian
Affairs, through its supervisor of schools in the Five Civilized Tribes,
shows a willing disposition to meet the state school authorities halt
way on all propositions that have for their object the uplift of the
Indian and getting him interested in himself and in the public schools
of tiie State that the white people will gladly cooperate with this
office in all of its efforts along this line.
I submit herewith statistics showing the enrollment, attendance,
and cost of maintenance of each tribal boarding school under the
sui>ervision of this office, and a table of statistics concerning the dis-
bursement of the money appropriated by Congress and designated
" Indian schools. Five Civilized Tribes, 1910," and used to aid rural
public schools.
Bespectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF ALASKA.
Governor''8 Office.
Juneau^ Alaska^ October i, 1910,
Sib: I have the honor to submit herein my annual rei)ort for the
fiscal year ended June SO, 1910, on the matters specified in section 2
of the Alaska Civil Code governing the conduct of this office.
The administration of the civil government of Alaska in nearly all
of the federal offices has been usually efficient and, as far as tl\e
present laws make possible, generally effective. This has been par-
ticularly true of the courts, the principal officers of which, under our
present scheme of government, exercise a greater variety of functions
than those of district courts in the States. Industrial conditions are
about the same as in 1909, but recent mineral discoveries, the istssured
early establishment of new mining operations, and several other cir-
cmnstances give assurance of a greater productive activity in nearly
all fields of effort within the next few months. The want of cheap
fuel and the delay in opening the Alaska coal fields are the strongest
adverse factors in the present problem of territorial progress.
POPXJIiATION.
Because of the greater facility of travel in many districts in winter
the decennial census enumeration in some parts of Alaska was made
in January instead of in June; in other localities the count was made
in April. The results of the census have not been announced, but
careful estimates of the population prior to the official enumeration
gave no large increase in the number officially counted in 1900. The
census of 1900 gave a white population of 30,507 and a native popu-
lation of 29,636. Many nonresidents are employed in the fishing and
other industries, and the population of the Territory has not kept
pace with industrial and commercial development. It is doubtlessly
true, however, that the number of persons who may be regarded
strictly as i)ermanent residents, and especially of those who have
become genuinely attached to the soil, has increased gradually during
the last decade. The present and prospective conditions, both in
Alaska and the States, are such as to promise a large increase in the
population of this Territory in the next few years.
PROPBRTT AND liOCAIi TAXATION.
There has been no recent general increase in the value of taxable
property in the several incorporated towns. Values in some of the
towns situated in placer mining districts have declined, but the
instances of a falhng off have been exceptional. Three towns-
Cordova, Haines, and Petersburg — ^have been incorporated within
the last year.

COMMERCE.
The shipments of domestic merchandise from the States to Alaska
in the last fiscal year were larger than in any prior year, the increase
being due, in some measure, to activity in railroaa construction in
the Copper River Valley. The commercial movement from Alaska
to the States, including gold and silver of domestic production, was
larger than in any other year except 1909. The decrease, however,
was only $105,920 in total southbound shipments of $30,751,311.
The following tables do not include the com|)aratively small com-
merce between Alaska and foreign countries, except the Yukon gold
and silver shipments which passed through the Territory.

RAIIiROAD CONSTRUCTION.
Only one of the Alaska railroad projects has made any progress in
actual construction during the last year, and the outlook for extensive
railroad building in other parts of the Territorjr, calculated to assist
in developinff the general resources, has not improved since 1909.
The Alaska Central Railway, which last year extended its track to
mile 76, on the projected route from Resurrection Bay to the Mata-
nuska coal fields and to navigable waters somewhere on the Xanana
River, was sold under the order of the district court, and is now incor-
porated as the Alaska Northern Railwav. No new construction work
has been done this year. The company's officers assert that the prin-
cipal factor in preventing a continuation of construction is the unset-
tled state of the coal-land question and the inability of any citizen to
obtain title to or lease these lands.
The construction of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway,
which is building a standard-gavige road through the lower valley or
the Copper into the Chitina region, was continued until December of
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
236 BEPOBT GOVEBNOB OF AT«ARKA,
last year when the weather became severe. About 101 miles of track
were completed, approximately 3,000 men having been employed.
Work was continued last spring, the grade being extended and rails
laid from Tiekel, and a long bridge beinff constructed across the
Copper River between Miles Glacier and Cnilds Glacier. By Sep-
tember 25 trains were in operation from Cordova, the tide-water ter-
minal, to Chitina, a distance of 131 miles; and the construction com-
pany expected to lay 70 miles of additional track on the Qiitina
branch, completing the line to the center of the present developed
copper region. No accepted plan to extend the Copper River road
into the Tanana valley or to any navigable water in the interior has
been definitely announced by the company.
GOVERNMENT AID FOR RAILROADS.
Upon the sound theory that the investment of capital in a frontier
country should be encouraged in proportion to the natural obstades
which are to be encountered, it woula seem that government aid for
railroad construction in Alaska is not only justifiable, but absolutely
necessary to the early development of the Territory's great resources
and to the settlement of the country.
A trunk line of railroad in Alaska should mean a railroad from a
tide- water port to some i>oint on one of the great navigable rivers of
the interior. Within this meaning of the term, no trunk line has
been built, and there is no definite assurance that any will be built in
the near future. Of the two standard-gauge roads which have been
begun, one suspended construction work some time aeo and the other
is not, as far as its present plans are known to the public, destined to
traverse the principal agricultural and placer-mining districts.
It is doubtlessly true that any trunk line of the kind su^ested
would fail to yield even a small return upnon the investment tor the
first few years after its completion. It is just as certain that such a
railroad would repay its investors with annual interest on bonds and
common stock eventually. There is abundant promise of this in the
mineral resources and in the natural richness of the large interior
valleys, which wiU assuredly be cultivated by permanent farm settlers
as soon as the more available northwestern provinces of Canada have
become filled up and transportation facilities and accessibility to
markets are provided in Alaska.
My observation during an extensive journey through the interior
this summer showed that vast areas of the lower-grade gold placer
ground are onlv awaiting cheaper supplies (which would be obtain-
able if railroad transportation were afforded) for their successful
development. It is well demonstrated, also, that many of the present
quartz prospects in the Tanana and Susitna valleys and in the Mount
McKinley aistrict will be operated on a large scale as soon as less
expensive means of transportation are provided. The difference
between profit and loss in many of these fields of effort is the differ-
ence between extremely high freight rates and moderate freight rates.
The general wisdom of government aid for railroads being recog-
nized, as it has been recognized several times in the history of the
United States, there is no doubt that such aid ought to be extended in
Alaska. Assistance should be in thq form of a guarantee of interest
on the bonds of railroads, the construction of which, upon routes
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
EEPOBT OOVEBNOB OF ALASKA. 237
selected by a government board, should be authorized only after com-
petitive bidding by companies or syndicates desiring to build and
operate the roa&. Such a plan as was authorized for railroad build-
ing in the Philippine Islands is applicable to Alaska.
WAGON ROADS AND TRAIIjS.
The construction of wagon roads and trails has projgressed steadily
this year. The benefits derived from these ways or transportation
have become so generally appreciated that the available funds have
been found altogether too smaU to meet the popular demand for more
roads. At the end of the last calendar year roads and trails had
been constructed in Alaska, as follows: Wagon road, 720.39 miles;
winter sled road, two-horse, 472.75 miles; trail, single horse or dog
sled, 551.56 miles; trail, staked with permanent iron stakes, 85 miles;
ti^il, staked with temporary stakes, 670 miles. This work, together
with maintenance from year to year, represents an expenditure of
$1,487,911.24 of special appropriations oy Congress and amounts
received from the Alaska fund; besides probably $75,000 to $100,000
derived from voluntary contributions, and from the local road-tax
law expended upon these routes. The work of maintenance and im-
provement on the established routes has been carried on during the
present season, with such new work as the available funds would
permit.
It is obvious that some of the considerations which I have set
forth in favor of the early building of railroads applies with exactly
the same force, and for similar reasons, in favor or wagon-road con-
struction. The benefits which already have come from the faithful,
able and well-managed work of the board of road commissioners in
Alaska are incalculable. Mining has been carried on in districts
which either could not have been opened at all or would have offered
only a precarious opportunity for the miner, had it not been for the
lower freighting rates on supplies which the new roads and trails
made possible. Definite localities could be named at the present time
where profitable mining operations could be carried on it funds were
available for more extensive road building.
Fortunately the Congress has deemed it wise each year since 1905
to make a moderate appropriation for the work of the road com-
mission, supplementing the moneys regularly derived from the Alaska
fund. It IS earnestly recommended that these appropriations be
continued and, if possible, increased.
MINES AND MINING.
The notable features of recent mineral development have been
ihe extensive prospecting for gold (juartz in the Fairbanks district,
with encouraging results ; the transition from other forms of placer
mining to dredging in the Seward Peninsula; the beginning or large
hydraulic operations in the Bonnifield country; the stampede of
placer miners and prospectors to the Iditarod and the Kuskokwim ;
the enlargement of gold lode mining operations near Juneau; the
settlement of litigation which has prevented extensive operations in
gold quartz in the Bemers Bay neighborhood; increased interest in
gold quartz in the Susitna basin and in the district near Valdez ; and

the preparations for shipping large quantities of high-grade copper
ore from the Chitina region.
The total value of the mineral products of Alaska from 1880 to
1909 was $169,482,625, of which all but about $7,000,000 was mid.
The publications of the United States Geological Survey, which are
intended for general distribution among interested persons, and a
list of which is given in an appendix accompanying this report, con-
tains such valuable detailed mformation in regard to the mineral
resources of Alaska that only a brief summary of conditions is
required herein.
<K>IJ).
The production of gold in 1909 amounted to $20,463,000, which
was larger than in any prior year with the exception of 1906. The
excitement over mineral discoveries in the Iditarod caused many
operators and miners to leave the Fairbanks district, and for that
reason the total production of gold for Alaska may be somewhat
smaller this year than it was in 1909.
The discoveries of gold placer in the Iditarod region have been
somewhat disappointing, when it is considered that several thousand
miners and prospectors have rushed to. that region within the last
year, but the hopeful feature of the situation is that extensive and
diligent prospecting is being carried on, not only on the Iditarod
River, but in the whole surrounding region and in the great basin of
the Kuskokwim.
The interest in gold-quartz prospects in the Fairbanks district,
which became pronounced last year, has increased still more during
the late open season. None of these prospects has yet become devel-
oped to a point entitling it to be called a mine, but in several in-
stances the outlook is highly encouraging. Nearly all the develop-
ment work has been carried on by poor men, having only a small
capital, and it is significant that in several cases the quartz has paid
the expenses of development from the beginning, exceptionally nigh
values in the ore making this possible.
The great enlargement of gold-quartz operations in Silver Bow
Basin, a short distance from Juneau, promises much prosperity for
that region. After being held back by litigation for many years,
gold-guartz mining is about to be begun on a large scale on Berners
Bay, m southeastern Alaska.
Prospects for gold-lode mining in the Susitna Valley, tributary to
Seward, and in the vicinity of Valdez, are excellent, and profitable
developments in high-grade ore have already taken place.
srLVEB.
The production of silver in Alaska is incidental to that of gold.
The output in 1909 was 126,906 fine ounces.
COPPEB.
The continued low-market price of copper prevented several mines
from resuming operations, but the buildmg of the railroad from Cor-
dova to the Chitma region, and its prospective early opening to traf-
fic, will cause a large increase in copper production. The ores of
Digitized by VjOOQ IC

this reffion are of exceptionally high grade. The rapid building of
the rauroad has caused much prospjecting for copper, and there is
some promise of large developments in the Nebesna and White River
regions. The total production of copper in Alaska last year was
4,124,705 pounds.
TIN.
The output of tin in 1909 was small, but prospecting was carried
on, and some development work was done on producing properties.
The greatest activity was in the Seward Peninsula field. Stream tin
-was reported this summer on one of the creeks near Fairbanks.
COAL.
The principal coal fields of the Territory remain inactive because
of the inability of claimants to secure title. A somewhat extended
discussion of tne coal-land situation is presented in another part of
this report
PETBOLEUM.
There has been no production of petroleum in Alaska, but the oil
seepages which occur in several localities, notably on Controller Bay,
encourage the belief tiiat profitable development may take place
eventuafly. Some prospecting has been done in the CiontroUer Bay
district.
GYPSUM.
The gjrpsum deposits in southeastern Alaska were a source of steady
f)roduction during the year. The total shipments of gypsum in the
ast fiscal year were 20,480 tons, valued at $102,400.
MABBLE.
Excellent marble is. found in several localities in the southeastern
district, and some of the quarries were operated during the year. Tho
commercial shipments of marble were valued at $44,995,
OTHEB MINERALS.
Almost every well-known mineral has been found in the Territory,
but there has been little or no commercial production of any except
those mentioned heretofore. Antimony, bismuth, cinnabar, eraphite,
and talc have been found in several localities, while galena has been
discovered in quantities which will at some future time probably b©
mined on a profitable scale.
FISHERIES.
Next to mining, the fishing industry is the most productive industry
in the Territory. In the calendar year 1909 there were employed in
the several branches of the fisheries 12,588 persons, of whom 2,823
were natives. Tlie investment, exclusive of cash capital, amounted
to $9,881,682, and the finished product of the industry was 201,983^38
pounds, having an export value of $11,181,388.

SALMON.
The season just closed will be highly profitable to the caimeiTmeii
owing to tlie advance in value of all grades of canned salmon. The
total pack of the canneries amounted to about 2,375,000 cases of 4
dozen 1-pound cans each. The business of mild-curing king salmon
in southeastern Alaska is increasing rapidly, and the fishermen en-
gaged in this business are receiving remunerative prices for their
catch.
The hatching^ of salmon fry continues under the directicm of the
United States Fish Commissioner and some of the canneries. The
law provides a rebate of a portion of the tax on canned salmon to
the canneries maintaining private hatcheries, but does not provide
for any dieck on statements as to the number of salmon fry released
each year upon which the rebate depends. This defect in the law
should be remedied either by providing that the Bureau of Fisheries,
through its agents, determine the accuracy of the claims of the owners
of tiie private hatcheries as to the number of salmon fry released, or
by repealing this provision of the law, purchasing the private hatch-
eries, and tuminff them over to the bureau to operate. Several new
hatcheries dhiouldbe established by the Government in localities not
covered by the present hatcheries.
HALIBUT.
Owing to the unusually high prices received last winter by the fish-
ermen for their halibut, there will probably be a large increase in the
fishing fleet next winter.
COD.
The fishing stations in southern Alaska, as well as the Puget Sound
and San Francisco fleets, which fish for cod in the waters ox southern
Alaska and in Bering Sea, are meeting with fair success.
HEBBING.
This fish is at present used in the manufacture of oil and fertilizer,
and an old established oil and fertilizer factory at Killisnoo main-
tains a local population of 200 whites and natives. Large quantities
of herring are also prepared as food, and are used as bait in the king-
salmon and halibut fisheries.
WHALEa
A plant for extracting oil and making fertilizer from whales has
been in successful operation at Tyee, Admiralty Island, for the last
two years.
The Alaska fishing industrv, in branches other than that of canned
salmon, which is already higWy developed, should be encouraged by
every means. Especially should the cod and halibut fisheries be fos-
tered, giving remunerative employment to a large number of men who
have little or no capital, but who are fully capable of profitably carry-
ing on these industiies. The United States Fish Commission an-
nounced last spring that the steamer Albatross would sooti begin
the work of making detailed surveys of halibut and cod fishing
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOET GOVEBNOB OP ALASKA. 241
banks on the southern and southeastern coast. The fishennen recog-
nize the value of such surveys, and are keenly desirous that the wo«
be begun as early as practicable.
FORESTS AND TIMBER.
The amount of timber cut from forest reserves in Alaska in the
last fiscal year was 15.471,000 board feet. This probably represents
not more tnan one-halt of the amount cut in all of Alaska, including
cord wood used as fuel. The receipts of the Forest Service in the
Territory were $19,502.02.
As recommended by this oflSce, steps have recently been taken
toward the further adaptation of the Forest Service administration
to local conditions in Alaska. Provision has now been made for
scaling forest-reserve timber at the mill instead of at the place of
cutting, thus obviating delays which, although necessary under the
former system, were extremely vexatious. StiU further reforms are
necessary in order that the interests of forest conservation may not
prevent or hinder perfectly legitimate development. In the south-
eastern district, in the region roughly comprised in the main portion
of the Tongass National Forest, there is an abundance of overripe
timber, some of it of inferior quality, the removal of which would
tend to conserve the forests. Persons who may wish to use this over-
ripe and sometimes inferior timber, either fbr lumber or firewood,
should not be required to pay stumpage on it, but should be encour-
aged to take it away. A reasonable stumpage on cuttings of good
trees is not generally resisted by the people, although the conditions
of industrial development are generally untoward 5 l)ut many of the
rules and requirements of federal forest supervision which rightly
apply in settled countries are out of place in Alaska, and should
be either abolished or modified.
Under present conditions of fuel supply in Alaska, and until the
Territory reaches a more advanced stage of development, the Govern-
ment diould make no charge on the cutting of firewood, provided, of
course, that proper restrictions be placed upon such cutting in respect
to the kind and quality of trees to oe used.
Steps should be taken without delay to restore large portions, if. not
all, or the Chugach National Forest to the public oomain. Manj
thousand acres of this reservation are almost treeless, and the condi-
tions are such as to render any measures for the conservation of water
absurdly unnecessary. Such scattered timber as may be found for
small uses should be freely available to assist in development enter-
prises and to encourage settlers.
AGRICUIiTURB AND STOCK RAISING.
Steady progress has been made at all the agricultural experiment
stations during the last season. There is no longer a doubt in regard
to the agricultural possibilities of Alaska. It has been proved again
and agam that hardy vegetables and the cereals suited to northern
latitudes can be grown in Alaska with excellent success, in fact, al-
most without failure when the right varieties of grain are selected
for culture and seeded and handled in proper manner. It is there-
fore no longer a question as to whether grain or vegetables can be
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
242 BEPOBT GOYEBNOB OF ATiARKA.
grown, but the most important work now consists in testing out and
selecting the varieties best suited for the country and in developing
new varieties which shall be better suited to the climatic conditions
than anything we now have; and this is chiefly the work that has
engaged the attention of the agricultural experiment stations during
the past year.
At the Rampart station the grain crops have matured as usual.
The experimental tests in comparing varieties have yielded the de-
sired information, and a nimiber — ^mat is to say, some dozens — of
new varieties have been developed by cross-fertilizing varieties of
grain, chiefly barley and oats, which possess the qualities it is desired
to perjpetuate. How valuable these crosses will prove to be can be
determined only by observing their behavior during future seasons.
For instance, one of the quauties which all varieties of grain must
have to be grown successfully in the interior of Alaska is early ma-
turity. In other words, they must complete the period of growth
in aBout ninety days. There are now early maturing varieties of
grain, but they are all found to ^ve a small yield, and they are of
slender growth. By cross-fertilizing a vigorous grower of large
yield with an early maturing variety it is hoped to develop new
varieties which will mature early, grow vigorously, and give a good
yield.
At the Sitka station, by similar means, success has been achieved
in developing more than a score of varieties of strawberries which
6eem to be letter adapted to Alaska than any of the known culti-
vated varieties, including those already grown with success in this
Territory,
Several new homesteads were taken up by settlers during the last
year, and there are a considerable number of settlers who have lived
on their homesteads more than five years, but have been unable to
secure title to their lands because tnere was no appropriation of
money by the Congress to pay the expenses of surveymff. These
hardy settlers deserve to be encouraged. It is hoped that the appro-
priation which was made by the second session of the present Con-
gress for land surveys in Alaska will be renewed for the next fiscal
year, so that, after the necessary preliminary work is completed, the
lands of homestead settlers who have lived on their claims five years
or more may be surveyed.
At the Kodiak Experiment Station the herd of Galloway cattle
has done remarkably well. This breed is well adapted to the coun-
try, and they are preeminently the breed of cattle for Alaska, in that
they are hardy, good rustlers, and can run out as long as there is any
feed available, and even then do not require shelter, but can be fed
outdoors like range cattle in the States. Their one deficiency is that
they are poor milkers. An attempt is being made to develop the
milking quality, so as to produce an all-purpose cow. Of course these
cattle must be fed whenever the ground is covered with snow, but
they can be fed wholly on feed produced in the country. Silage is
being made successfully from the native grasses when the weather
is too rainy to cure hay, and the same grasses are converted into hay
when the weather permits.
Cattle of other breeds have done well on Kodiak Island and in
other parts of Alaska for many years, but they are not hardy enough
to be termed strictly range cattle. A ranch maintained by a Seattle

BEPOBT GOVEBKOB OF ATiASKA,

company on Kodiak Island made some shipments of native-grown
beei to Cordova, the new railway terminal, this year. It was supe-
rior to beef brought from the States.
A small flock oi hardy sheep has during the last season been added
to the live stock at the Kodiak Experiment .Station, and sheep breed-
ing will henceforth receive due attention. The surplus stock is sold
at reasonable prices to settlers for breeding purposes, with a view to
stocking the country with desirable classes of live stock.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Steady improvement has been made in the public-school system,
both in the schools provided for white children and for the native
children. White schools, supported by local license moneys and
taxes, are maintained in the incorporated towns, as follows : Chena,
Cordova, Douglas, Eagle, Fairbanks, Haines, Juneau, Ketchikan,
Nome, Pet^rsbur^, Skagway, Valdez, and Wrangell.
Three new white schools have been established in the last year in
settlements other than incorporated towns, and the number of these
so-called " Nelson schools " is now 21. The list of white schools
outside of incorporated towns is given -in the following table :

The people .throughout the Territory continue to manifest the
keenest mterest in the public schools, especially in the manual train-
ing departments, which have been established m many places.
I urgently renew the recommendation of my immediate predecessor
in office that the minimum number of pupils required for the estab-
lishment of a new school under the provisions of the act approved
January 27, 1906, be reduced from 20 to 15.
Improvement has been made in the means and methods of educating
the native inhabitants, a work which is being carried on by four local
superintendents and a corps of teachers under the direction of the
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
244 KEPOBT GOVEBNOB OF ALASKA.
Commissioner of Education at Washington. The conduct of these
schools is to be praised, but it could be improved by removing the
headquarters of administration, as far as these schools are concerned,
from the national capital to Alaska, and I recommend that this
be done.
The number of native schools has been increased since last year
from 69 to 75.
COMPXTLSOBY SCHOOL ATTBNDANCB.
Legislation should be enacted requiring the attendance of native
children at the government schools provided for their training. A
compulsory school attendance law is recommended by every school
superintendent and teacher and by all persons who are acquainted
with the native peoj)le. It is now so well recognized that manual
training and instruction in sanitation and hygiene are so necessary to
the welfare of the natives that a reasonable statutory provision com-
pelling^them to send their children to school is regarded as impera-
tive. There is also some need of such a law applicable to whites.
LABOR.
There has been a moderate demand for laborers in nearly all of the
settled portions of the Territory, and in the Copper River Valley the
demand was extraordinarily large, about 4,000 men being employed
in railroad construction. Lrfibor has been well compensated, and there
has been no strike for any cause. The several officers of the govern-
ment and the local commercial organizations frequently receive in-
quiries as to the opportunities for laborers in Alaska. The answer to
tnese inquiries is that present conditions do not warrant a large influx
of laborers, and that, considering the remoteness of the Territory
from the large centers of employment in the States, no man should
come here without having engaged work in advance.
RELIEF OP DESTITUTION.
In the smaller settlements, where there are no organized charities,
cases are frequentlv presented of extreme destitution among the white
inhabitants, usually arising from physical accidents or illness. I
recommend that the act of Januarv 27, 1905, be so amended as to set
aside 5 per cent of the Alaska fund for the relief of such cases, under
the supervision of the governor.
CARE OF INSANE PERSONS.
The number of Alaska insane persons in the sanitarium at Mount
Tabor, Portland, Oreg., is now 122. This is a decrease of 11 since
one year ago, although prior to that time the number of Alaska insane
had been mcreasing rather steadily. The insane are cared for at
Mount Tabor under a contract made April 28j 1909, at the rate of $330
per annum per capita. In my opinion, this arrangement is much
more satisfactory than the plan proposed of constructing an asylum
in Alaska for the care of insane. Their treatment is much 'more
likely to be successful in a climate milder in winter than the interior
of Alaska, and less cloudy and rainy than the Alaska coast.

Considering the long distances to be covered and the inferior means
of transportation on many routes, the mail service is ^eneraUy ex-
cellent.^ Statements have been received from two of the larger towns
in the interior that the winter mail service, although slow, is more
dependable than the summer service, and an effort has been made to
equalize this condition, which is partly due to irregular steamer sail-
ings and possibly to some mistakes in the dispatch of mails.
1 earnestly reconmiend that a winter mau route from Seward to
the Iditarod region, where great mining activity has begun, be
established this year.
COAIi liANDS.
The ill-advised policy of forbidding aU development of the large
coal resources of Alaska, or of placing such restrictions upon develop-
ment as to make the embarkation of private capital impossible, is
to be deprecated, while the policy of conservation oy proper use is to
be encouraged. This coal is needed for the industries of the Territory
and for the physical comfort of our people, and on no account should
it be withheld from these uses. A sumcient amount of our .coal should
be mined to meet the needs of the present generation. A large part
of the coal used in Alaska is imported from British Columbia, and
is made all the more expensive to the consumer because of the pay-
ment of duty. By reason of conditions in the British Columbia
mines there was an intermittent coal famine in nearly all of the coast
towns last winter, even at Cordova, which is situated within a few
miles of one of the largest Alaska coal fields, and where the price of
soft coal is regularly as high as $18 per ton.
The present impossibility of mining coal, either under title or lease,
is in a measure at least responsible for the suspension of construction
on one of the principal railroads, and has caused a general feeling of
discouragement over the business situation in those parts of Alaska
where development and settlement ought to be going on most rapidly.
There are mining and other projects, potentially very large, scatterra
over a wide area, which can not be undertaken until domestic coal is
on the market, but which, with fuel less costly, would be developed on
a large scale. The Territory has now reached a point in its industrial
progress where further extensive growth is rendered impossible with-
out those strong factors in all such progress — cheap fuel and im-
proved transportation.
In the development of any region the prime necessity of an avail-
able fuel supply at low cost is so universally recognized that an ex-
tended discussion of the subject is unnecessary. The relation of cheap
fuel to railway transportation is, of course, most intimate. Alaska
can not become a largely developed or extensively settled Territory
without railroads, andthe f avorea tide-water terminals of prospective
railroads in Alaska are at points on the coast where the price of im-
ported coal is highest. The building of railroads is positively dis-
coura^d, not only by the want of tonnage coal, but by the high cost
of fuel for the operation of locomotive engines. It is claimed oy the
officers of the Alaska-Northern Railway, the constniction of which
IS now at a standstill, that because of the high price of fuel coal it is
impossible to handle without loss the small local traffic which is offered
eG554'— ilf T 1910— VOL 3 ^17

246 BEPOBT QOVSRNOB OF ALASKA.
on its 75 miles of road already completed. The fuel coal required
to make a round trip, with a light train is 3aid to be about $150.
With coal from the Matanuska fields, situated on the surveyed route
of the road the fuel cost would be about $25. If this reduction in
fuel cost were possible, the railway's managers assert, trains could be
operated for the accommodation of the public and the development
of the surrounding region, yielding a profit to the railway company
over and above the bare cost of operation.
In the public discussions of the last year it has appeared that the
opposition to opening the Alaska coal fields spring chiefly from two
sources — ^those persons who fear a monopoly ana those who would
have this coal held as a reserve suppljr for vie future. The present
coal-land law (act of May 25, 1908) is not a good law, but it cer-
tainly lends no hope to monopolists, but rather is calculated to dis-
courage the embarkation of capital. The public clamor against the
patenting of claims, as far as it affects tnose whidi were entered
honestly, and on account of which the act of May 28, 1908. was
passed, means nothing less than that the Federal Groyemment snould
act in bad faith with these claimants.^ No honest citizen, unless his
views are based on gross misinformation, will advocate the cheating
of any claimant un^r our laws.
The present laws are so unsatisfactory, however, that it is hoped
a leasing system for the development or these coal lands may be
adopted, after the present claims shall have been disposed of on
their merits. It will be found quite feasible, according to the best
authorities, to devise suitable terms for leases, protectmg both the
public and the operators, and insuring intelligent conservation.
The view of the extremist that aU me Ala^ coal should be kept
as a reserve supplv for the future has nothing to commend it, and
deserves to be condemned by every sincere advocate of conservation.
Accepting even the conservative estimate of Mr. Alfred H. Brooks
of the Geological Survey that the marketable Alaska coals of the
Pacific slope amount to fifty or sixty billion tons, and the further
estimate that the present market for these coals, under competitiye
conditions the existence of which can not be doubted, would be about
1,000,000 tons annually, it is obvious that this coal supply would, at
the present rate of consumption, last five or six thousand years. At
the end of that period posterity may be using solar energy or some
means other than coal for light, heat, and power.
In the interest of general conservation oi coal, Alaska coal should
be mined and used. For every 6 tons of eastern coal which is brought
around Cape Horn to the Pacific coast, approximately 1 ton is
burned to make steam for its transportation. To withhold the
Alaska coal, therefore, is not conservation, but waste. Moreover, the
Atlantic seaboard coal should be kept there^ as far as possible, where
it is needed and where it will be needed still more in the future, in
the centers of population. The Pacific coast annually uses, perhaps
1,000,000 tons of manufactured iron, the transportation of which
from the Eastern States consumes a large quantity of coal. This is
not conservation, it is waste. Alaska has an abimdance of coking
coal which, if available, could be used for the manufacture of Pacific
coast iron ores, thus not only avoiding the waste of coal now caused
by the transportation of eastern manufactured iron, but building up
a new industry on the Pacific.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION.
The establishment of light-houses and other aids to navigation is
of the highest importance. Several considerations, besides the pri-
mary one of protecting the lives of those who travel on ocean-going
vessels, emphasize the necessity of more liberal provision for these
safeguards. The maritime commerce of Alaska amounts to approxi-
matdy $50,000,000 per annum, and freight rates on shipments of
merchandise are much higher than wouldl)e the case if the coast line
were adequately lighted. Until the present year Wrangell Strait,
in the southeastern part of the Territory, through which passes
summer and winter, a very large tonnage, was entirely dark; and
Tongass Narrows was nearly so.
Several lights have been installed along these tortuous channels this
year, but others are needed in adjacent waters, and, in fact, through-
out ^e coast line. The hazard to shipping is regarded by the under-
writers as so great that marine-insurance rates are frequently as
high as 15 per cent, and after the wreck of the steamship Yucatan
last winter it was reported that rates on the larger vessels would be
increased to 20 per cent in case they should continue to follow the
inside route to Prince William Sound. High insurance rates make
high freight rates. The installation of proper aids to navigation,
such as are found on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, and even in
Canadian waters immediately adjacent to our own, would be fol-
lowed inevitably by a reduction of insurance rates and, imder a
proper condition of competition in the carrying trade, a reduction of
freight rates. Such a reduction would be or inestimable economic
value to the Territory, reducing the cost of living and making it
possible to engage in such mining and other industries as are feasible
only when cheap supplies are obtainable and generally lower expenses
of operation are to be encountered.
SURVEYS.
llie accurate surveying of the coast line and the charting of
navigable waters by the O^ast and Geodetic Survey is of the utmost
importance to the development of the Territory's commerce. The
extension of this surveving and charting to important parts of the
coast which heretofore have been almost entirely neglected will oper-
ate quite as beneficially as does the installation of light-houses and
other visible aids to navigation.
The United States Geological Survey has continued its excellent
work in Alaska, and tlie vast territory still to be covered in detail
requires that liberal appropriations for the Survey's investigations
in Uiis district be made from year to year.
CHANGES IN MINING LAWS.
In the Territories other than Alaska, and in the several States, the
existence of local legislative bodies has made it possible to enact min-
ing laws supplementary to the general laws of the United States and
suited to local conditions and needs. It is not surprising that in a
TerritoiT as remote as Alaska conditions and needs are found which
render the general federal mining laws, admirable as tliey are, inap-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
248 BEPOBT QOVEBNOB OF ATiASKA,
plicable or inadeouate in several particulars. The power of attorney,
lor instance, is almost generaUy regarded as indispensable; but it is
certain that its unrestricted use in Alaska under the general mining
laws results in grave evils.
According to the present practice the exercise of j>owers of attor-
ney frequently retards mineral development. This is especially true
when claims are staked in association tracts, it frequently being the
case that a single individual holding seven powers of attorney reserves
160 acres of placer ground and hoMs it from year to year merely by
Eerforming $100 worth of assessment work. The ground is often
eld for speculative purposes only, and in case the persons who ^ve
the powers of attorney are nonresidents who have never even visited
Alaska, speculation is almost certain to be the motive for holding the
claim.
These absentees would soon lose their desire to speculate if a law
were enacted requiring tiiat assessment work on an association claim
be performed to the amount of $100 for each individual claim of 20
acres. That there is no sudi law at present is a crying evil, and the
interest of every genuine prospector and bona fide resident in Alaska
demands that tne evil be mitigated.
Also, for tile purpose of reducing the bad effects of absenteeism and
speculation, the time within which assessment work must be done
snould be shortened. At present it is possible for the owner of a
locati<m made in January of any year — ^and the owner may be a non-
resident who has merely given a power of attorney for speculative
purposes — to hold a placer claim almost two years witnout per-
forming or paying for any assessment work whatever.
NATIVE INHABITANTS.
Several factors have operated for the betterment of the native
inhabitant of the Territory. Among these are the reindeer industry,
marked improvement in aims and methods of instruction in the
schools, and the enforcement of the new law further pen^zing the
sale of intoxicating liquors to natives. The distribution of reindeer
among natives properly trained will greatly improve the conditions
of life among the northwestern people, saving them from threatened
early extinction. The natives of the southeast (Indians^ are in many
instances industrious, and almost always law-abiding. Tneir efficiency
in the mines and fisheries is impaired chiefly by the use of liquor;
and the enforcement of the act approved February 6, 1909, maidng
whislry^ " peddling " a felony, resulting in many convictions, has had
a beneficial effect. The economic as well as the moral importance of
breaking up the sale of liquor among the Indians can not be empha-
sized too strongly.
Instruction m the manual arts, which has become a prominent
feature in nearly all of the native schools, is of the utmost importance.
It is well adapted to the needs of the native people, while education
in other subjects, except the elementary branches or scholastic work
is littie suited to their needs, present or prospective. For the present,
at least, teaching in native schools should have for its purpose utility,
and pupils should be taught to be ^ood natives, whose character,
attainments, and environment are dissimilar to those of white people
of liberal education. Care should be exercised also not to impair tiie
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBPOBT QOVBBNOB OP ATiARKA. 249
independence of the Indians and Eskimos ; nor to encourage the belief
that any able-bodied person may secure any good thing wiUiout effort
on his part The best schools, both government and mission, are
those which do not seek the unattainable^ or aim to fit any native
pupil for work not associated with the miproved life of his own
people.
Tne greatest menace to the native people everywhere in Alaska is
the presence of infectious diseases. The employment of physicians
by ue Bureau of Education for the treatment of natives and for
their instruction in hygiene and sanitation has brought valuable
results, in addition to the work accomplished by the school teachers,
and an increase in tiie number of these should be made possible
through liberal appropriations of money for that purpose.
REINDEER,
The develoi)ment of the reindeer industry for the benefit of the
Eskimo inhabitants has been carried forward with marked success.
The importation of these useful animals from Siberia in 1892 was
continued year by year until 1902, when the shipments ceased, the
whole number in Alaska bein^ 4,975, distributed among 9 herds
in the northwestern part of the Territorjr. In 1907 there were 13,839
deer, distributed among 16 herds; and in 1910 the number exceeds
26,000, in 39 herds. An Eskimo becomes the absolute owner of rein-
deer onl^ after he has served an apprenticeship of five years, and
proven his efficiency and fidelity. Aithouch'the reindeer industry in
Alaska is only 18 years old, it is significant that somewhat more
than 50 per cent of the whole number of animals already are owned
by natives. The number of individual native owners now exceeds 260.
Commendable progress has been made in all departments of the
reindeer service during the last three or four years through wise ad-
ministration. In the present year 7 new herds have been estab-
lished in or near native settlements, and it is proposed to establish
6 more herds before the autumn oi 1911. Some of the new herds
promise the most gratifying benefits, since they will relieve some of
the poorer natives, whose former means of livelihood have been im-
paired by the pro2dmity of white settlements, the disappearance of
game, and by other causes. In 1909, the Eskimos of northwestern
Alaska derived an income of $18,212.03 from reindeer products, in
addition to the value of skins used for clothing and meat consumed
for food by the natives themselves. The civilizing eftect of the
reindeer industry upon the Eskimos, who are naturtulv a people of
ready inteUigence and adaptability, has been remarkable.
The number of reindeer m Alaska promises henceforth to increase
with great rapidity. The meat of these animals is a sterling article
of food for both whites and natives ; and many persons entertain the
opinion that the propagation of reindeer and the exportation of rein-
deer meat to the States will eventually become an industry of exten-
sive proportions, whidi will yield a large profit to the owners.
SANITATION AND QUARANTINE.
The existence of infectious diseases, alarming in their nature and
wide prevalence among the native people, calls for vigorous action.
The menace of infection extends to the white inhabitants, for tiiere
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
250 BEPOBT GOVBBNOB OF AT.A8KA.
are Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut villages in the immediate neighborhood
of nearly all the principal towns, and the natives mingle freely among
the whites in public places. The conditions have certainly not im-
j>roved since 1908 whefi, in soutiieastem Alaska, a physiced examina-
ticm being made by one of the school phj^cians of 1,161 natives, 418,
or 36 per cent, were found to be affected with tuberculosis, and 808, or
26 per cent, from venereal diseases. Amonff other diseases prevalent
in southeastern Alaska, as well as in several other parts of we Terri-
tory, are trachoma and conjunctivitis; and in the Alaska P^iinsula
are several cases which, after long and careful examination, are
strongly suspected to be lepro^.
There is no law which requires the natives to observe any of the
ordinarv rules of sanitation, and their unfortunate conditicm is often
traceable directly to the filthy condition of their villages and the
dwellings in which the^ live, i et these people are generally respect-
ful of t£e law, and a smiple set of statutory requirements imposmg a
mild penalty for nonobservance would unquestionably cause a great
improvement in sanitary conditions. The welfare of the white in-
habitants as well as that of the natives demands such a law.
It is greatly to be deplored that there is no legal means in Alaska
of enforcing a quarantine. The prevalence of the infectious diseases
referred to and of dangerous conta^ous diseases such as smallpox
emphasizes the need of a quarantine law.
VITAIi STATISTICS.
It is a serious defect of our code of laws that there is no legal
requirement for the registration of births, marriages, and deaths in
this Territory. Instances have been multiplied in the last few years
illustrating in a striking way the evils which must surely result from
the absence of vital records, until it is impossible to emphasize too
strongly the need of establishing a reliable system of reffistraticm.
It is probable that such a registration in any territory like Alaska can
be accomplished best by requiring reports to be made b^ physicians,
clei^gymen, and mimicipal officers to the court commissioners, whose
duties under the Civil Code alreadv cover a wide field and whose
recording offices are well known to tne people of every precinct
The commissioners might be required!^ to transmit these vital
records to the clerk of the court in the proper judicial divisicm for
safe-keeping, since each of the federal court-houses is provided with
a fireproof vault. The obligations of the marital relation, the admin-
istration of wills and the descent of property, as well as other strong
considerations of morals and equity, require that vital statistics be
recorded; and there have been many distressing consequences of the
present condition, which is either one of loosely kept records or no
records at all.
A somewhat detailed report, with recommendations on this sub-
ject, was made by me to uie United States Census Bureau several
months ago.
TEIjEGRAPH SYSTEM.
The military cable and telegraph system, which now extends to
nearlv every town and mining camp, continues to be of the greatest
benefit to the people. The maintenance of some of the land lines
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBPOBT GOVEBKOB OF ALASKA. 251
entails great hardship among the men of the Signal Corps, and they
are to be commended for their brave efforts which result in keeping
the lines open with remarkably few interruptions.
The ocean cable is becoming badly worn in several places, and its
natural deterioration will make its replacement by another line neces-
sary within the next few years, unless a large improvement in wireless
communication takes place.
FUR-SEAL FISHERIES.
Agents of the Department of Commerce and Labor assumed full
control of the sealing operations on the Pribilof Islands upon the
expiration this year of the lease held by the North American Com-
mercial Company. Measures for improving the administration of
affairs on the islands, particularly in connecticm with the land and
sea patrol, have been made the subject of recommendation in a
separate report to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
REVENUE- CUTTER SERVICE.
The vessels of the Revenue-Cutter Service, with their officers, con-
tinue to perform highly useful and important work on the Alaska
coast. Late in 1909 the Treasury Department granted the request
that a revenue cutter be stationed permanently in southeastern Alaska
waters, with headquarters at Juneau. When available a cutter should
also be stationed, summer and winter, at Seward, so that relief may
be eictended to vessels in distress. A cutter so stationed could have
gCMie to the relief of the wrecked steamer Farallon last winter, when
it was necessary to send a cutter from Puget Sound.
If an international agreement in regard to pelagic sealing makes
it possible to abandon or diminish the patrol on the Pribilof Islands,
the revenue cutters now employed there should be distributed amonff
stations throughout the Alaska coast, where they are greatly needed.
PROTECTION OF GAME.
As required by the act approved May 11, 1908, 1 have made a de-
tailed report of the administration of the Alaska game law for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1910. An appropriation having been made
for the purpose in 1*909, four game wardens were appointed early in
the last fiscal year, and it then became possible to undertake a more
eflfective enforcement of the law. The experience of the last year has
shown that the ^me law, while its general purpose is wise and sev-
eral of its provisions are excellent, requires several important amend-
ments. In some particulars the law not only fails to accomplish the
purpose for which it was framed, but is really unjust to the people.
A notable defect in the law is that no open season for game birds is
provided in the great region north of latitude 62**.
The appropriation for the enforcement of the game law was large
enough to permit the employment of only three wardens regularly.
It is recommended that provision be made for the employment of at
least five wardens.

FUB-BEARINO ANIMAIiS.
With the increase in the number and size of human settlements the
number of fur-bearing animals has decreased, and strict regulations
for their protection at proper seasons and during necessary periods
are required.
Under the provisions of the new fur-seal law. regulations have been
issued by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor for the protection
of fur-bearing animals other than seals. Several of these regulations
are well adapted to the purpose of protection, but certain omers will
require modification in order to suit local natural conditions, and a
separate report has been made on this subject to the proper de-
partment
HISTORICAIi lilBRART AND MUSEUM.
The collection of books, maps, and charts and of mineral and
ethnological specimens comprised in the Alaska Historical Library
and Museum has been graduaUy improved during the jrear. A
notable coUection of baskets and of Eskimo ethnolofficil objects has
been purchased recently. The late additions to the library have been
entirelj^ of books pertaining to Alaska.
Provision will oe made in the new territorial office building for the
better preservation and display of the museum collection, as wdl as
for the contei\ts of the library.
PUBMC BUHiDINGS.
Authorization was given by the Congress at the last session for
the purchase of sites and the construction of two buildings at Juneau,
one for the several government offices, including the post-of&ce and
custom-house, and the other for the residence of the governor. Sites
are about to be acquired for these buildings, and it is hoped tiiat
construction will be begun next spring.
SUMMARY OF LEGISLATION NEEDED.
^ From the foregoing the following summarized statement of legisla-
tion which, in my opinion, is most urgently r^uired for the Ter-
ritory is presented by subiects;
Opening of the coal lands to development.
Grovemment aid for railroad construction.
Continued appropriations for wagon roads and trails.
Aids to navigation.
Changes in mining laws.
Modification of the law relating to salmon hatcheries and
rebates to the cannery men.
Sanitation ana public health.
Begistration of vital statistics.
Compulsory school attendance.
Belief of destitution among white inhabitants.
Amendment of the game law.

CONCIiUSION.
In connection with the recommendations submitted herein in ref-
erence to needed legislation, in some gases re(][uirin^ an appropriation
of money by the Congress, special attention is called to the tact that
several of these matters are such as would unquestionably receive
favorable consideration if there were in Alaska a local legislative
body^ or a territorial treasury through which the moneys collected
witnin the Territo^ could be disbursed. In the absence of such local
means, ad;ion by Congress, even in the minor affairs pertaining to
Alaska, is appropriate and necessary.
In July ana August of the present year the Attomey-G^eral of
the United States and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor traveled
extensively through the Territory. Their visit was extremely gratify-
ing to the people.
Very respectfully, yours, Walter E. Clark,
Oovemar.
The Secretary of the Interior.

United States Customs Sebvice,
Juneau, Alaska, February 1, 1910,
For the first time since 1906 the annual statement issued by this office shows
an increase in AJaslca's commerce compared with the previous year. The total
business for 1909— over $60,000»000— is between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 greater
than during 1907 and 1906 and is within $3,000,000 of that for 1906, which was
the banner year in the history of the district The largest growth in any one
item of the total trade for 1909 is in the receipts of merchandise from tbe
United States, which shows an increase of almost $4,000,000 over the figures
for 1908. Almost half of this increase is In the division known as " Southern
Alaska," and was due to the large shipments of railroad construction material
to Cordova.
The value of domestic merchandise shipped from Alaska to the United States
is over a million dollars greater than for any previous year.

Of the foregoing items, the imports of foreign gold, shipments of same to
the United States, and exports of merchandise to foreign ports represent, for
the greater part, commerce which is only passing through Alaska. The gold
is shipped from Dawson and other ports In the Yukon territory through Aliu^a
to the United States, and the greater part of the merchandise exported from
Alaska to foreign ports Is the growth or 'product of the United States, whereas
the shipments of merchandise to the United States are almost entirely Alaskan

It should be remembered that the exports of domestic gold and silver from
Alaska to the United States Include only regular shipments by freight, express,
and registered mail. No attempt is made to secure statistics of gold carried on
the persons of travelers, and as there Is quite a large amount of gold taken
from the district in this manner the total gold production of Alaska is probably
between one and two million dollars greater than the shipments reported
herein.
Shipments of merchandise from the United States show an increase in every
section except southeastern Alaska as compared with the report for 1908, the
total increase amounting to nearly |4,000,000.

REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA.
Office of the Governor,
PJioenix, Ariz., September IS, 1910.
Sm: I have the honor to submit herewith my amiual report, show-
ing the condition of the affairs of the Territoiy and its progress and
development during the year ended Jime 30, 1910.
The prosperity which was so marked during the year covered in
my last report has continued, and each of our important industries —
farming, stock growing, and mining— have had a satisfactory growth,
which has resulted in a substantial increase in the taxable wealth or
the Territory. The people of the Territory as a whole have reason
to congratulate themselves on the progress made during the year
and the prospect for even greater advances during the coming year.
STATEHOOD.
In my annual report for 1909 1 expressed the hope that an enabling
act admitting the Territory into the union as a State might be passed
by the present Congress. That hope was realized by the passage of
the act of Jime 20, 1910. In accordance with the terms of this act,
on June 28, 1910, I ordered an election of 52 delegates to a consti-
tutional convention to form a constitution for the proposed State of
Arizona, to be held on September 12, 1910. In the proclamation
calling for said election there was specified the apportionment of
delegates to the various coimties of the Territorjr as made by the
governor, chief justice, and secretary of the Territory on June 25,
1910.
The act requires that the convention shall meet on the fourth
Monday after the election of delegates, which will be on the 10th day
of October, 1910. Assuming that the convention will not be in
session longer than thirty days, I estimate that the election on the
adoption or rejection of the constitution which shaU be framed by the
convention mav be held by January 15, 1911, and if the constitu-
tion be adopted, it may be in the hands of the President and of Con-
gress for approval in time for their action thereon before the end of
the present Congress. If this program shall be carried out there
is every reason to expect that tne new state government will be in
operation by the end of the present fiscal year.
We anticipate such benents from admission that the prospect of
any considerable delay or the possibility that the constitution which
may be adopted may not be approved are matters of grave concern
to the people of the Territory.

POPUIiATION.
The census of 1910 shows the population of the Territory to be
204,354. The immigration to the SaJt River VaUey and other agri-
cultural sections of the Territory continues to increase at a satis-
factory rate. The prospect of early statehood has had a perceptible
dOTect m increasing the number of nomestead entries not only in sec-
tions where irrigation is practicali but also in those locilities where it
is possible to prow crops by dry-farming methods. The subdivision
of the lands in the Salt Kiver Valley into small holdings is proceed-
ing at a satisfactorjr rate and the farming population has been added
to considerably during the year.
TERRITORIAL INSTITUTIONS.
Under the general supervision of the board of control the Terri-
tory maintains a prison, an asvlum for the insane, an industrial
school, and a home for aged and infirm pioneers (now under course
of construction), and a university and two normal school^
TBBBXTOBIAIi PBI80N.
Since my last report the new prison at Florence has been com-
?leted and the piisoners have been successfully removed from Yiuna.
'he new prison is admirably adapted for tne safe, sanitary, and
economical keeping of its inmates. It is equippea with its own
electric-light plant, water works, sewer system, laimdry, hospital,
cold-storage and ice plant, and arrangements are now under way
to bring under cultivation almost forty acres of land which will
enable the prison to raise practically everything required in the
nature of vegetables or feed for stock. There are now under construc-
tion two additional buildings similar to the present radial sections
which will provide additional cell room and larger quarters for
laimdry and store room. These building are a part of the original
plan for the prison, but their construction has been withheld until
the present time as they could be more economically built after the
removal of all the prisoners from Yuma to Florence.
The use of prison labor in the construction of the new prison and
the Gila River bridge has proved a successful experiment. Labor
thus furnished, while volimtarv on the part of the prisoners, has in
(he main been satisfactory and there has been little or no trouble in
maintaining discipline and in guarding the prisoners while at work.
For each day's labor credit is given of one aay on each man's term,
and the experiment has illustrated the value of regular employment
in the management of prisoners confined in penal institutions.
In spite of the fact that the Territory practically maintained two
institutions for the first quarter of the past year and that it was
necessary to employ extra guards for the worik in and around the
new prison and on the Gila River bridge the cost of maintenance
shows a decrease from the last report, as will be seen from the f oUow-
ng comparative statement:

During the year a new hospital building at the Asylum for the
insane was completed, furnished, and occupied, relieving to a lai^e
extent the crowded condition of other building. At the present
rate of increase in the population of the institution further aaditions
will soon be necessary, and unless some provision is made in the near
future it will be necessary to again utilize the old basement wards,
which are wholly inadequate.
The institution is equipped with an up-to-date cold-storage and
ice plant installed during tne past year. As in the case of the prison,
much of the work of construction has been done by the inmates of
the institution, who have rendered efficient service of benefit alike
to themselves and the institution, and an extensive garden has been
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
320 ' BSPOBT OF THB OOVEBNOB OF ABIZONA.
brought into cultivation by the inmates under the direction of a
competent gardener, which furnishes the institution with much of
its table suppUes and feed for the stock.
The number of inmates in the institution on Jime 30, 1910, was 376;
of these, 290 were males and 77 females. There were admitted 141
new patients during the year and 3 were retximed from parole and
1 from escape. Thirty-four patients were discharged as cured, 10
were paroled, 41 died, and 5 escaped.
TBBBITOBIAL INDUSTBIAL SCHOOL.
Conditions at the Territorial Industrial School are practically
unchanged since my last report. There kas been but a sUsht increase
in the number of inmates, the record now showing 62 pupOs, of which
58 are boys and 4 girls.
While the equipment of the school is wholly inadequate and its
surroundings not well adapted to its purposes, the progress of the in-
mates during the year has been marked. Particular care is taken to
safeguard the health of the inmates, and the year's record shows but
little sickness. The success of the management in the reformation
and training of the youths committed to it has been highly ^tifying
and warrants the installation of a more complete equipment, mcluding
shops, etc., to afford instruction along practical lines. I do not deem
the present site a proper one and beueyd the institution should be
moyed into a f armmg communitj, where these things could be pro-
yided for and a broader range of mstruction made ayailable.
OAprroL BXJiLDmo and oboitnds.
There is no public building within the Territory to which the people
may point with ^ater pnde than the Capitol Building, yet it is
rapidly becoming madequate. For the j)ast year it has been crowded
to its utmost capacity, eyery room bemg occupied, including many
of the committee rooms of tne lerislatiye haUs. Some steps should
be taken in the yery near future looking to the erection of another
wi^ on the rear of the present building.
With each year the groimds become more extensiye as well as
more attractiye, and siuBcient proyision should be made for their
maintenance and continued improy^ment in the future.
PIONEEBS' HOHB.
Complying with the proyisions of chapter 23 of the session laws
of 1909, the site offered by Hon. Frank M. Murphy, of Prescott, for
the erection of a home for the aged and infirm pioneers was accepted
by the Territory and the erection of a suitable building commenced.
The site is beautifully located in what is known as the Murphy Park,
Prescott, and Ues on the crest of a hill oyerlooking the city or Prescott
and the surrounding country. The building is to be a brick structure
of granite foimdations, with side porches on the first and second
stones, modem in eyery respect, with hard-wood floors throughout,
running water and steam heat in eyery room, an infirmary, lounging
rooms, a Ubrary, cold storage, seryants' quarters, and ample accom-
modations for about forty inmates. The construction and design
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
EBPOBT OF THE GOVEBNOB OF ABIZONA. 321
of the building are such as to admit of extension from time to time
as the population increases, it being possible to enlarge it to twice its
present cax»acity.
W. S. Elliott, of Prescott, is the architect, and Henry Rockmaric,
of Prescott, the contractor. Maj. A. J. Doran, of Prescott, has been
placed in charge of the work as superintendent of the construction,
and upon the completion of the home will have full supervision or
its mamtenance.
The Territory is indebted to the oflBcers and people of the city of
Prescott and the board of supervisors of Yavapai County for the assist-
ance they have rendered to the board of control.
TBBBITOBIAL XTNIVS^BSITY.
In efficiency and in the faciUties afforded for the higher education
of our youths the University of Arizona ranks with the most advanced
educational institutions in the country. It is prepared, in addition
to ttie ordinary academic courses, to furnish those leading to the
degrees in mining engineering, metallurgv, and civil en^eering.
The faculty is composed of teacners of the mghest standing m educa-
tional work. The equipment is of. the best fmd is ample for the
requirements of advanced work in all departments of science. The
student registration for the year was 113 for the college proper. A
class of 10 was graduated, 4 taking the degree of bachelor of science
in mining engineering, 1 bachelor of science in mechanical engineer-
ings bachelor of science, and 2 bachelor of philosophy.
With the extension of the high-school system in the Territory the
university is becoming more and more a recognized part of our
system of public education and a larger percentage of high-school
^*aduates are entering the university than formerly. This justifies
the hope that the attendance of students from the Territory will
soon be commensurate with the cost of its maintenance and the
efforts made heretofore toward the building up of the institution.
NOBMAL SCHOOLS.
The two normal schools maintained by the Territory, one at Tempe
and the other at Flagstaff, show satisfactory increases in attendance
over 1909. At the Tempe Normal School there were enrolled 226
students. In the training-school department there were enrolled 176
pupils, making a total enrollment for the school of 402. The graduat-
ing class numbered 21. The faculty is composed of 20 teachii^
members besides a Ubrarian and secretary. During the year a
building to be used for a gynasium and auditorium was completed.
There are now nine buildings on the campus, and the total valuation
of the buildings, grounds, and other property of the institution is
$346,000. At tne Flagstaff school there was an enrollment of 68
students during the year. The graduating class numbered 8. The
faculty consists of 8 members, 4 men and 4 women. The Flagstaff
normal maintains each year, beginning in July, a summer session, the
cool climate of Flagstaff pemutting school work through the entire
year. The enrollment for the summer session was 48.
A h^ percentage of graduates of both institutions engage in teach-
ing. They have no difficulty in securing positions — in fact, the supply
is not equal to the demand*

PUBmC SCHOOIiS.
The report of the superintendent of public instruction tor the
Territory coTerin^ the nscal year ended June 30, 1910, shows a
satisfactory growUi in all branches of our educational system. The
last school census shows a school population of 38,791, an increase of
2,062 over the previous year. Manual training and domestic schools
have been established in several counties of the Territory, with good
results. During the year the territorial board of education adopted
a new course of study for use in the primary and grammar schools
and also a uniform course of studv for high schools. In this way a
consistent course of study from the primary schools up through all
the grades leading to the Territorial University and to the normal
schools has been established. Much attention has been given by the
territorial board of education to the matter of school hygiene and
sanitation. The board has been working in conjunction ¥nth the
territorial board of health looking to the adoption of rules and regu-
lations governing these matters.
Each year a ioint teachers' institute, under the management of the
territorial teacners] association, is held daring November. At the
last institute held in Phoenix there was an attendance of more than
600 teachers, every section of the Territory being represented.
During the year an educational publicatwn known as the Arizona
Journal of Education was started in the interest of our pubUc schools.
This publication promises to serve a useful purpose in advancing
the standard of teaching and in increasing public interest in our
home educational institutions.

HISTORIAN.
Realizing the importance of collecting and perpetuating existing
data needed for compiling an accurate and comprehensive history erf
Arizona; the legislature created the office of historian, and during the
past year extensive research has been carried on and marked progress
made in the work.
IRRIGATION.
The dam at Roosevelt is to all intents and purposes completed.
Some work at the top and on the approaches remains to be done.
The late winter floods were smaller than usual, so that comparatively
Uttle water was impounded, yet this water has been of such immense
benefit during the year as to prove beyond question the efficiency
of the dam. The impounded water supplementing the normal flow
of the Salt and Verde rivers has enabled the farmers in the Salt River
Valley to grow the largest crops on the largest acreage in the history
of the valley.
The precipitation on the watershed of Salt River tributary to the
dam is usually Ught in the summer, but heavy in the winter season.
If the normal precipitation in the shape of rain and snow should
occur during the next winter, no apprehension need be felt that any
shortage of water should occur in the Salt River Valley for many
years to come, if ever.
The Reclamation Service during the year began the construction
of the siphon under the Colorado Kiver which is needed to canr the
water from the Lag^una.dam on to the Arizona side for use on the lands
below Yuma. Tms work is proceeding somewhat slowly, but it is
hoped that it will be completed early during the year 1911.
Crops generally throughout the Territory have been good, especially
in the irrigated sections. Prices of farm products have been high,
with a tendency to increase rather than decrease, so that farmers
have greatly prospered. Prices for land under ditch with water
rights nave mcreased somewhat, yet, on the whole, everything being
considered, have not been inflated beyond their true value measured
by their earning capacity.
FRUIT GROWING.
The winter of 1909-10 was the coldest for many years. Some dam-
age was done to young citrus trees and to the fruit, but on the
whole the Territory suffered less in this respect than did the citrus-
fruit growing sections of CaUf omia. The experience of the year has
demonstrated that in the Salt River Valley the orange section is much
larger and more extensive than was heretofore uiought to exist
Owmg to the early frost, a smaller crop of oranges and grape fruit
was harvested than in 1909, but the prices received were satisfactoiT.
A large acreage was planted during the spring, and this acreage would
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOBT OF THE QOVEBNOB OF ABIZONA. 325
have been largely increased had it not been for the difficulty m securing
trees for planting. Year by year the mountain valleys and u])lan£
adapted to apples, pears, plumS; and other fruits are being utilized,
so tnat the fruit industry continues to increase in importance and to
be more generally followed as a means of profit throughout the
Territory.
OSTRICH RAISING.
The past year has shown a marked increase in ostrich raising in the
Territorv, tnere being now considerably over 6,000 birds in the Salt
River Valley, constituting more than 80 per cent of all the ostriches
in the United States.
The fact that ostrich raising was begun in the Territory in 1892 by
ihie importation from Califomia of about 20 birds and has in less
than twenty years grown to such vast proportions demonstrates the
adaptability of climatic and feed conditions to this industry. The
record of hatching during the past few. years has equaled any reported
from South Africa and has far surpassed that ox any other ostrich
district.
The profits of the business under such conditions are large. The
birds are plucked every eight months with an average yield from full-
grown birds of 1 pound of featheraper bird to each plucking, a value
m the market of $25 to the bird. The annual cost of running ostriches
in the Salt River Valley is about 110 per bird. The principal food is
alfalfa, and at least 5 grown birds can be supported to the acre of
alfalfa.
This pron!iises to be one of the most important industries in the Salt
River Valley and other localities similarlv situated, and the profits
realized are such as to attract capital to the business.
THE UVE-STOCK INDUSTRY.
The live-stock industry of the Territory has had a satisfactory year,
pi^oularly as regards prices. In some parts of the Territory range
conditions have not been good, owing to the unusual cold of the winter
eolending late into the spring with light rainfall. This condition
was especially hard on those sheep men who brought their flocks from
the northern part of the Territory onto the desert north and east of
Phoenix.
The secretary of the live-stock sanitary board in his report for the
year suggests that losses on cattle ranges for the most part are due
not so much to lack of feed as to a scarcity of drinking places. Cattle
in a period of comparative drought congregate in the vicinitv of
tanks and other watering places, wnich results in an exhaustion or the
feed at such places. In this connection I desire again to call atten-
tion to the pending bill, known as H. R. 12425, introduced by Mr. Cam-
eron, Delegate in Congress from Arizona. This bill is one which is
intended to relieve such a situation as that mentioned above. It has
the approval of the territorial Uve-stock sanitary board and of cattle
men jgenerally throughout the Territory. The bill provides for the
location and entry for well purposes of 40 acres of land not chiefly
veJuable for some other purposes, such lands to be paid for after the
completion of the well at the rate of 11.25 per acre. It is hoped that
Congress will give this measure early and favorable consideration.

826 BEPOBT OF THE GOVEENOB OF AEIZONA*
The live-stock sanitary board in its report Toices what I believe to
be the prevailing sentiment among range stock men of the Territory
in favoring the Teasing of public grazmg lands by the United States
Government under such terms as wiU admit of and encourage the
improvement and conservation of the ran^ by lease holders.
it is gratifying to be able to report that through the concerted
action of tJie Interior Department and the Department of Justice a
satisfactory adjustment and arrangement has been made permitting
the maintenance of the quarantine fence aroimd what is known as
Slaughter's range in Cochise Coimty.
It nas become apparent that some plan for fencing the Roosevelt
reservoir must be adopted to guard against serious loss occasioned
by cattle bo^in^ in the mud flats along the borders of the reservoir.
Joi examination is being made of the subiect by the live-stock sani-
tary board witii a view of ascertaining the location and extent of such
fence and its probable cost.
LIVE STOCK AND SHEEP SANITARY BOARDS.
The Uve-stock sanitary board has jurisdiction to enforce quaran-
tine regulations, rules looking to the protection of the pubhc from
diseased and imwholesome meat products, the protection of the
range interest from theft, and, in general, to exercise supervision
over the range-stock interests of the Territory. The enforcement of
quarantine regulation is imder the management of the territorial
veterinarian.
The sheep sanitary commission of the Territory reports that the
condition oi the sheep on the range as regards scabies infection was
more favorable than ever before. The commission reports that the
moving of flocks from winter to summer ranges in tne spring and
their return to the winter from the summer ranges in the fan is a
great assistance in the eradication of the infection, inasmuch as thb
movement results in a more frequent dipping of the flocks.
During the year the Secretary of Agriculture by order released
from federal quarantine restrictions all of Arizona except Apache and
Navajo coimties in so far as interstate movement of sheep is concerned.
ARIZONA FAIR COMMISSION.
The Territory maintains a fair, which is held at Phoenix in Novem-
ber of each year. The groimds on which the fair is held were
acquired during the year so that the Territory now holds title to the
same. The fair is each year becoming more attractive and enlisting
CTeater interest on the part of the people of the whole Territory.
The exhibits, especially m the line of Uve stock, are remarkable for
their high class, variety, and size.
HORTICULTURAIi COMMISSION.
The importance of the work of the commission to the fruit industry
of the Territorv can scarcely be overestimated. The legislature, in
providing for the commission, appropriated the sum of $3,000 to pay
the expenses of the work of the commission for each of the years
ended Jime 30, 1910, and June 30, 1911. Notwithstanding this smaD

BEPORT 07 THB GOVEBNOB OF A&IZONA. 827
appropriation the report of the commission shows that the benefits
realized from the year's work have been most gratifying in the pro-
tection of orchards ahready planted and in preventing infected trees
from being introduced. ^ far our orchards nave been comparatively
free from destructive pests. Some damage has been done to apple
orchards in sections of the Territory by the wooly aphis. Experi-
mental work has been done bv the entomologist of the commission
to determine the best method of destroying the pest. The results
thus far are promising. The most serious pest so far established in
the Territory is the coddling moth^ which has attached in places to
apj^e and pear orchards.
The citrus orchards have thus far escaped serious infection from
destructive scale. During the year shipments of orange trees from
Florida have been foxmd m some instances to be infected with mealy
bugs. The consignments foimd to be infected were destroyed in
accordance with the provisions of the law. It is to be resetted that
a larger appropriation is not available to the commission, so that
it may carry on its work of investigation and also its experimental
work so as to give the largest measure of protection possible within
the scope of its authority conferred by the act creating tne commission.
AGRICULTURAIi EXPERIMENTAL STATION.
During the year the work of the station has been conducted alon^
established lines of experimentaCion. The offices, laboratory, ana
greenhouses are located in the university buildings at Tucson,
xperiments in cultural work and sheep breeding are conducted upon
the station farm near Phoenix. Date palms imported from the old
world are grown at Tempe on lands containing alkaU, which are thus
especially suited to their growth. At Yuma on the bottom lands
suDJect to overflow from the Colorado River, an intensive garden for
?urposes of demonstration is operated. In cooperation with the
Tnited States Department of Agriculture a large range reserve is
maintained imder fence near Tucson. Experimental dry farms near
Douglas and Snowflake are in operation. The attempt is thus being
made to cover problems in agnculture embracing a variety of soils,
climate, and water supply commensurate with the varied agricultural
resources of the Territory.
The work of the experimental station is made available to the pub-
lic through bulletins issued from time to time for distribution to the
farmers throughout the Territory. Members of the station from time
to time deUver lectures at farmers' institutes on the various subjects
embraced within their work.
Prof. R. H. Forbes, the director of the experimental station within
the Territory, estimates that the potential water supply for purposes
of irrigation, including the ordinary flow of the streams, stoiage, and
subterranean waters available by means of pumping, at approxi-
mately 4,393,000 acre-feet annually, sufficient to V^miit of tne in-
tensive farming of over 1,000,000 ac/'es of land. This estimate does
not include small pump- water supphes supplementing dry farming at
h^her elevations. The disbursements for the fiscal jear ending June
30, 1910, for all purposes from the federal and temtorial appropria-
tions amounted to $35,529.17.

TSRRITORIAIi HIGHWAYS. .
During the year the actual work of the construotion of a system of
territorial hignways was beran and prosecuted with yigor. llie
money raised by the leyy of tne territonal road tax for the year 1909
did not become ayailalne until the end of the calendar year^ and,
hence, little but preliminary work was possible until the beginniiig
of the present calendar year. During the year approximately 700
miles of road were suryeyed under tne direction of the territorial
engineer. These surye^rs followed in general the course of the two
territorial highways wmch were designated by the board of control
last year. Cme of tiiese, beginning at the town of Douglas, runs in a
northwesterly direction through Bisbee, Tucson, Florence, Mesa,
Tempe, and Phoenix, and from thence north oyer the Bradshaw
Mountains into Prescott, and thence runs east, crossing the Verde
Riyer near Camp Verde into the Mogollon Mountains, and thence
runs north through Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. The other higrb-
way, beginning at Yxmia, runs approximately east through Phoenix,
Tempe, Mesa. Globe, and along the Gila Riyer to Clifton and Morenci,
with a brancn of the latter road running south from a point in Gra-
ham County through the Sulphur Springs Valley to Douglas.
It has been the policy of the board of control to begin actual road
work at points where the greatest immediate benefits may be secured.
A contract was let for the construction of about 32 miles of road
between Rooseyelt and Globe. ASout 20 miles of this road was com-
pleted at the end of the calendar year. The cost of this will be
approxiii^ately 12,000 per mile.
A contract was also let for the building of 13 miles of road begin-
ning at Prescott and running south along the west slope of Mount
Umon. Being in a mountain reg:ion, the- cost of this road therefore
is necessarily nigh, being approximately $3,000 per mile.
Both of tnese roads fumisn object lessons of what ma^ be done in
the matter of road making and illustrate the yalue of scientific road
buildinjg under the authority of the Territory and the great benefit
which IS to be deriyed from the completion of the scheme of roads
proposed to be constructed.
The Territory is constructing a bridge across the Gila Riyer near
Florence, the site of the territorial prison. Tliis bridge is of the type
known as the ^der type of T-beam construction of reenforced
concrete. It wiU be 700 feet long, haying 4 main beams or girders
of 14 spans of 50 feet each, resting on concrete piers which, in turn,
are founded on 30-foot piles.
Actual work was begun on the bridge about the 1st of April. It
ha ; progressed sufficiently to indicate that it ydll be completed by
the 1st of Noyember of the present year. The bridge will afford
passage from the Arizona and Eastern Railway across the Gila Riyer
to the prison. The necessity for the constructon of the bridge for
this purpose was so great that the board of control considered it
necessary to push its construction in adyance of the beginning of
actual road building on that part of the north-south highway of whidi
it will be a part.
Plans and specifications haye been made for the building of a bridge
across the Verde Riyer in Yayapai County on the proposed north-
south highway leading from Prescott to the Grand Canyon. This

bridge will have a length of approximately 300 feet and will be built
on lines simUar to the Florence bridge.
Under the law the board of control directed the territorial auditor
to levy a territorial road tax for the year 1910 in accordance with the
foUowmglist:
Apache 10.05
Cochise 25
Coconino 25
Gila , 25
Graham "25
Yavapai 25
Maricopa 25
The plans of the board for the expenditure of the money to be
realized from the foregoing levy call for actual road work in each of
the counties in which any part of the designated highways is situ-
ated. While it will undoubtedly reouire many years to complete
the building of the highways contemplated, yet by the wise selection
of points at which work is to be done and the construction of neces-
sary bridges travel along the course of the proposed highways will
be p>ossible and made comparatively easy long before the actual
completion of the roads.
NATIONAL GUARD.
During the year the regimental organization ot twelve companies
of infantry became compfete, so that now our military organization
consists of twelve companies of infantry and one squadron of cavalry.
The organization consists of 50 officers and 703 men. The regiment
is divided into three battalions of four companies each. During the
year Capt. Edward O. C. Ord, TJ. S. Army, retired, was detailed for
duty to the guard and appointed inspector-general with the rank of
colonel. In August, 1909, a rifle team, representing the national
guard, competed at Camp Perry and won tnirty-first place among
48 teams, landing at the nead of the "C" class. This year a team
competed at Camp Perry and stood in the twenty-third place, thus
having made a very considerable advance in standing in the list of
the competitors.
During September the guard, imder command of Colonel Mc-
Clintock, hela an annual encampment at Camp Sloan, near Prescott,
with good results in the matter of disciplme and experience in
battalion drill and field practice.
On account of the rapid growth of the guard its equipment is
incomplete, the allotment for that purpose falling short of the re-
quirements. Armory accommodations are entire^ inadequate and
tnis should be remedied as soon as possible. On the whole the
Territory has reason to be proud of its national guard.
RAIIiWAY COMMISSION.
Under the law creating the Arizona railway commission its powers
are limited to investigating the modes of operation of all schedules
of rates and charges or all common carriers of freight and passengers
doing business in the Territory, and should the commission discover
that any such tariffs, schedules of rates and charges are discrimina-

tory, excessivey unreasonable^ or in violation of the act to regulate
commerce it is made its duty to seek a correction of the same from
the conunou carriers which may be at fault in the matter^ and,
failing to secure proper adjustments, to bring such matters before
the Interstate Commerce Commission. The commission has no
power to fix rates nor to issue orders in connection therewith. Act-
ing within the circumscribed authority given by the act, the commis-
sion has secured during the year reductions in passenger rates of 1
cent per mile on the Arizona and California, the Bradshaw Mountain,
the Prescott and Eastern, the Santa Fe, Presoott and Phoenix, the
Maricopa and Phoenix, the Phoenix and Eastern, and the New Mexico
and Arizona railroads. It has also secured important reductions in
freight rates to and from Globe, on the Gila Valley, Globe and
Northern Railway. It has also secured reduced local rates running
from 8 per c«nt to 32 per cent in class rates from practically all the
lines in the Territory.
At the suggestion of the commission the Southern Pacific Rail-
way has made a reduction of about 25 per cent in interstate class
rates between El Paso, Tex., and Deming, N. Mex., and all stations
on its lines in Arizona. The El Paso and Southwestern Road has
made a reduction of about 30 per cent in its rates between El Paso
and Arizona stations. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe roads
have given assurances that marked reductions will be made between
Los Angeles and its Arizona stations, and between Albuquerque,
N. Mex., and its Arizona stations. Substantial reductions of com-
modity rates have resulted from the reductions referred to above
between the same points.
The commission has also secured the establishment of uniform
rates on coke from Colorado ovens to points east of Benson on the
Southern Pacific Railroad. It has also secured reductions in rates
on carload lots of material removed from Yuma to Florence for use
on the new territorial penitentiary at that place.
An adjustment was secured by the commission of alleged unfair
discrimination made by the El raso and Southwestern CJompany in
favor of El Paso in the matter of rates on shipments of fruit to jBisbee,
the railway company having agreed to remedy the cause of the
discrimination. Other adiustments were secured on complaints of
various shippers at SaflFord and Florence.
Formal complaints have been instituted against the WeUs, Fai^
Company to secure a reduction of express rates from eastern and
western points to Phoenix for race horses participating in the exhi-
bitions at the annual fair; also, to obtain a reduction in express
rates, so as to make such rates throughout the Territory conform
to those to and from Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa as estaolished on
the order made by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A complaint has been prepared for presentation before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to secure a reduction of rates on flour
and meal from Santa Fe stations in Colorado to Clifton.
On June 6, 1910, the Interstate Commerce Coxmnission rendered a
favorable decision in the case of the Maricopa County Commercial
Qub against the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway Company
et id., affecting class rates from points in eastern defined territories
to Phoenix. The decision will become effective on December 1,
1910. By its terms it applies only to Phoenix, yet the principle
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBPOBT OF THE QOVBBNOB OF ABIZOKJL 881
decided will apply to all i)oint8 in the Territory, bo that it is the
expectation of tne commission that the railways affected will adjust
class rat^ from Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City to all shipping
Joints within tiie Territory so as to conform to the ruling of the
Qterstate Commerce Commission.
In connection with the work of the railway commission it may be
of interest to note that the total railroad mileage within the Territory
is 2,041.02 miles. There were constructed in the Territory during
the year 215.153 miles, not including spurs, switches, and private
lines.
MINING.
The output of the mines of the Territory for the year 1909, as shown
by the verified statements filed with the territorial auditor, exceeded
somewhat that of the year 1908. This output was as follows:
Copper pounds.. 297,702,940
Gold ounces.. 132,278.849
Silver do.... 2,347,709.316
Lead pounds.. 2,153,102
Zinc do 6,053,145
The gross value of this product was $42,946,745.19. It will thus
be seen that Arizona still leads all the States and Territories in the
production of copper.
The principal copper-producing mines for the year were the same
as those for 1908, and but Uttle change occurred in the relative output
of each. A great deal of exploration work was done during the year
at Miami, near Globe, and an enormous tonnage of low-^rade ores
of commercial value has been exposed in this field. The Miami
Copper Company has completed tne first two units of its mill of
1,000 tons each and is at work on the third. At Ray the work of
ex})loring the ore bodies by means of chiun drills has proceeded with
satisfactory results. At Kelvin a 5,000-ton concentrator was begun
and is bein^ rapidly constructed. It is expected that this plant will
be in operation early in the year 1911. At owansea, in Yuma Coimty,
the Clara Consolidated Mining Company has completed its smelter
and is about ready to begin producing. At Humboldt, in Yavapai
Coimty, after a closing down of more than two years, smelting opera-
tions have been resumed. At Tombstone the work of unwatering
the flooded workings has been successfully prosecuted. In Mohave
County the Gold Koads mine and the Tom Reed mine have com-
pleted their milling plants and have greatly increased their produc-
tion. Both properties promise to be among the great gold mines
of the country.
Although the year has been one of comparatively little activity
in the matter of prospecting, and in the search for new ore bodies,
satisfactory resultis have, for the most part, followed such work as
has been done. While prospecting for copper will be inactive proba-
bly imtil stimulated by a nigher price for copper, there is every
indication of a renewed activity infold mining. There has recently
been opened up near Bowie, in ODchise County, marble quarries
said to be the equal of any in the world in the extent of the aeposits
and quaUty of the marble. Some shipment of this marble has been
begun and the industry promises to t>e an important one.

VITAIi STATISTICS*
Redstration of vital statistics, under an act passed by the twenty-
fifth legislature^ was begun on July 1; 1909, and has been carried
on successfully in almost every county in the Territory, resulting
in a registration of nearly 90 i>er cent of the deaths and a somewhat
lower per cent of the births in the Territory.
Research has been made into various causes of diseases and epi-
demics with a view of improving sanitary conditions and the public
health, and a comprehensive system of reports compiled by the
board of health has been inaugurated which will add much to the
efficiency of the system.
The statistics at hiuid show the total nimiber of births during
the past fiscal year to be 3,068, while the total number of deaths
during the same period was 3,049, as shown by the following tables:

of the various funds amounted to $507,721.97, an increase over the
previous year of $145,277.74.
The total revenues for the year were $1,121,381.48, an increase of
$205,891.28 over the previous year.
The actual revenue received from taxes and other sources, the items
of which were considered in estimating required revenue to cover
appropriations authorized by law, was made up as follows:

The increase in revenue was lai^ely due to a substantial advance in
the assessed valuation of the taxable property of the Territory, added
to which were increases derived from special sources and not taken into
account in making estimates of required revenue, as follows:
Revenue /rom epecial $ouree$.
Agricultural college fund provided by United States Government $40,000.00
Insurance taxes and fees received from territorial secretaiy 36, 496. 19
License and inspection fees received from live-stock sanitary board and

TE&BITOBIAL DEBT.
During the past year the territorial bonded mdebtedness was reduced
$43,000. Of this amount $41,000 was paid by the Territory and
$2,000 by the city of Tombstone. The bonds retired were a part of
the 6 per cent territorial funding bonds maturing in the year 1913.
There is still outstanding of this issue $10,000, but provision will be
xnade in the tax levy for a further retirement of $5,000 of these bonds
during the current fiscal year.
In 1909 the tax levy provided for the retirement of $13,000 of these
bonds, but the revenue received from the levy made permitted a re-
tirement of $15,000. In addition to this amount, by applying the
surplus funds in the territorial bond-interest fund, the territorial
treasurer was able to provide for the retirement early in January. 1910,
of $26,000 of these bonds. This expenditure of $26,000 from the ter-
ritorial bond-interest fund could in no manner create a deficit throu^li
the subseauent payment of territorial interest obligations, and t&e
Territory tnus effected a saving in interest of $3,210 by the transaction.
The city of Tombstone purchased $2,000 of funding bonds and
sent them to the territorial treasurer for cancellation and credit on its
territorial funded indebtedness.
All coimties and cities have paid the interest accruinjg on their
funded debt during the year as fast as it became due, and m addition
Pima County paid its second installment of $17,505.15 past due
bond interest.
In addition to the bonds redeemed during the year there has accu-
mulated $18,970.99 for the redemption of bonds as shown by the
following statements:

The Becretaiy of tiie Ttnitoi^, in hk report to this offioe^ etata
that there are at present 112 insurance companies authorifled to
transact business in the Territory, of which there are 67 fire insurance
companies, 22 life insurance companies, 1& miscellaneous insurance
companies, and 7 imdenmting agencies. This shows a gain of 6
companies duiing the fiscal year, of which there were 4 fire, 1 life,
and 1 underwriting companies.
The premium receipts collected by the yarious companies doing
bumness in die Territory during the year ended December 31, 1909,
aggregated SI, 701, 872 .07, a gam of $160,050.35 over the previofia
year.
In compliance with the insurance laws of the Territoiy, a tax of 2
per cent was levied on this amount by the secretary. This tax
amoimted to $34,037.32, which was $3^00.98 in excess of the amount
collected during the previous year. This amount was covered into
the territorial treasury and placed to the credit of the school fund«
In addition to the insurance companies, there are 13 suretv and
Ixmding companies entered in the Territory. The law requires that aU
companies or this nature must file with the governor quarterly finan-
cial statements showing their assets and liabilities. On account of
the imsatisfactory showing of its statement, the license of the Globe
Surety and Bonding Company was revoked in Mav, 1910, but aU
other statements disclose a satisfactory financial standiog and
profitable business.
INCORPORATIONS.
For the year ended June 30, 1910, the fees received by the Territoiy
through tlie office of the territorial auditor from organisers of corpora-
tions amoimted to $42,772.30, as against $41,307.90 for the previous

TAXATION.
The assessed valuation of taxable property of the Territory for the
Tear 1910 shows an increase over the previous year of $3,442,163.79.
This ver^ satisfactory condition made it possible for the board of
equaUzation to lower the tax rate from 80 to 70 cents on each SlOO
of assessed values.

While there has been but a comparatively small increase in the
assessed valuation of mining property, due principally to the uncer-
tainty of the metal market, all other classes or property show a
marked increase, and especially irrigable land and real estate.
Of the increase of $3,442,162.79 for the whole Territory, the
assessed valuation of property in Maricopa County shows the greatest
eain, being $1,769,226.33, due to the additional acreage of land
brought into ctdtivation, as weU as to a substantial increase in value
of all classes of property.
The rate of taxation in the several counties for local purposes —
county government, county improvements, schools and roads, and
interest on that portion of the public debt which is of local origin —
continues in most cases to decrease, the increase in the rate, wherever
an increase is shown, being due in part to the levy for the building of a
system of territorial highways and to various public improvements.
The following is a comparative statement of the rates or taxation in
the several counties during the past five years:

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Under the terms of the enabling act no session of the legislature
of the Tenitorv may be held during the year 1911. Should there be
delay in the admission of the Territory extending beyond the end ojf
the present fiscal year remedial legislation by Congress will be neces-
sary, inasmuch as the appropriations made by the last legislature for
the maintenance of the institutions of the Territory and me payment
of salaries, contingent and other expenses, will lapse on June 30,
1911. I recommend, therefore, that Congress be requested, at the
coming session, to make provision for this contingency dy autnoriziiig
the levy of taxes for the payment of the expenses of tne territoii^
government for the fiscal years ending 1912 and 1913, and authoriz-
ing and directing such appropriations to be made as may be needed
for that purpose.
Accompanying this report I have the honor to submit for the files
of your office copies of the reports of the various territorial officials
and boards which have been made to me covering the last fiscal year.

REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII
ExEOunTE Chambeb,
Honolulu, Hawaii, September i, 1910.
Snt: I haye the honor to submit the followmg report for the fiscal
year ended June 30^ 1910:
OENERAIi CONDITIONS.
It is ten years since the establishment of territorial goyemment and
twelve years since annexation. During the first few years the sense
of greater stability in government and tariff conditions, accompanied
by an adequate supply of labor and good prices, produced something
of a boom. Then, in consequence of overinvestment, followed by low
prices, there were several years of dull times. Duringthe last few
years, however, progress has been steady and rapid. The Territory
and its people have more than caught up fijiancially, crops have
increasea in size and variety, and pnces have been good. General
prosperity prevails.
During tne first five years, owing to a plague epidemic and the
transfer of customs receipts to the National Government, the Terri-
tory not only expimged a surplus of about $700,000, but acciunulated
a deficit of about the same amoimt, while during the last five years it
has expunged that deficit and accumulated a surplus of an equal
amount. Current receipts for the last year were $3,641,245.35, an
increase of $589,718.54 over the amoimt of the previous year. Dis-
bursements, including payments to counties, were $3,264,364.20, an
increase of $329,380.10. ^e receipts exceeded the disbursements by
S260,338.04. The net current cash balance at the close of the year,
after deducting all outstanding warrants, was $698,970.96. Bonds
bearing 4 per cent interest were paid to the amount of $80,000 and
public-improvement 3i per cent bonds issued to the amount of
$200,000. The bonded debt is now $4,079,000, or 2.71 per cent of the
assessed value of property.
Imports and exports for the year aggregated $71,624,659, an
increase of $9,678,175; the imports were $25,138,247, an increase of
$3,713,267, and the exports $46,486,412, an mcrease of $5,964,908.
The imports and exports for the first year of territorial TOvemment
were $30,880,478. The trade is chiefly with the mainrand of the
United States, in the imports from which there has been a steady
increase during the last six years from $11,703,519 to $20,531,913.
The inward tonnage was 1,308,801, an increase of 149,683, and the
outward tonnage nearly as much. The customs receipts, which go
into the Federal Treasury, were $1,575,319.15, an increase of
$178,939.25. The receipts during the ten years aggregated
849

850 BEPOBT OP THE GOVEBNOB OP HAWAII.
$13,258,699.52. The federal intemal-revenue receipts w&t
$209,132.51, an increase of $130,024.52, of which $124,201.18 was
the corporation tax. During the ten years the receipts were
$744,919.48. During the year the federal customs, internal revenue,
and postal receipts aggregated $1,957,700.78. The assessed value oi
Property was $150,268,467, an increase of $11,357,647 for the year, or
29,095,539 for the ten years of territorial government, or $94,014,025
for tiie twelve years since annexation. Bank deposits amounted to
$13,324,305.54 at the close of the year, an increase of $3,666,486.33.
At the end of the first year of territorial government they a^re^ated
$4,662,131.17. The capitalization of the corporations which nave
capital stock was $152,035,525, an increase of $15,777,400 for the year.
Of the 731 existing domestic corporations, 220 were incorporated
before annexation and 511 since, the capital stock of those of the for-
mer which have capital stock being $72,559,375 and of the latter
$79,476,150.
Besides the general ten-year census there were made the five-year
labor investigation required hj law, and also at the same time and
under the same direction a miUtarv census of the Territory and a
social census of the city of Honolulu. The results of these are not
yet available^ excepting the figures for the entire population, as follows:
The population or the Terntory is 191,909, an mcrease of 37,908,
or 24.62 per cent for the ten years. The population by races is as
follows: Hawaiians, 26,099, a decrease of 3,688; Part-Hawaiians,
12,485, an increase of 4,637 (of these 8,773 are Caucasian-Hawaiian
and 3,712 Asiatic-Hawaiian); Chinese, 21,698, a decrease of 4,064;
Japanese, 79,663, an increase of 18,548 ; Portuguese, 22,294, an increase
of 6,619: Spanish, 1,962, and Porto Ricans, 4,828 (both new); blacks
and mulattoes, 687; other Caucasians, 14,684, an increase of 4,107;
all others, 8,196. an increase of 4,959 flargely Koreans and Filipinos).
The nonoriental population has increased somewhat more than Uie
oriental, both absolutelv and in percentage. The population of the
city of Honolulu is probably upward of 60,000, an increase of more
than 25 per cent. During the last year settlers and tourists from the
mainland have come in mcreased numbers, and 1,790 Russian and
868 Portuguese immigrants were introduced by the board of immigra-
tion and 2,651 Filipinos by the sugar planters. Early in the year the
Territory was visited by a subcommittee, including the chairman, of
the federal iomiigration commission. A special tax of 2 per cent on
incomes in excess of $4,000 has been imposed, of which three-fourths
was allotted for immigration. Tins tax yielded $382,894.95.
The other fourth of this fund was allotted to conservation purposes
and has been appUed not only to meet all the exi)enditures or the ter-
ritorial bureau of agriculture and forestry, with its three divisions of
forestry, animal industry, and entomologv, and in aid of the federal
experiment station and other lines of work, but also, to the extent of
more than $36,000 during the year, to the inauguration and conduct
of topographic and hjrdrographic surveys of me Territory. These
surveys are carried on in cooperation with the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, whose chief hydrographer, chief topographer, and expert
in underground waters visited the Territory and laid out the work
early in the year. A large amount of practical scientific work is being
done along many lines.
During the first five years of territorial government the Federal
Government did Httle in the Territory outside of its routine work,
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OP HAWAH. 851
but during the last five years it has made up in liberal appropria-
tions for harbors, lijght-houses, pubUc buildings, and mUitary and
naval defenses. Aside from liberal appropriations and authoriza-
tions made for these purposes during the last year, Confess passed
a comprehensive act amending the organic act of the Territory in
many miportant respects. This act was the result of severd years
of study by the territorial executive and others and was recommended
by the territorial legislature at a special session called for the pur-
pose. The most important amendments relate to the land laws, the
principal object being to faciUtate homesteadin^ and at the same
time prevent homestead lands from bein^ taken in the fii3t instance
or afterwards transferred for purposes of speculation or investment.
Among other things the act forbids the alienation of such land, even
after a patent is obtained, to an^ alien, or to any corporation, or to
any person who already has sumcient land for a homestead. These
amendments mark the oe^inning of a new era in pubUc land matters
in Hawaii, and have resulted a&eady in great activity in such mat-
ters. The increased attention ^ven by Congress in recent years is
due largely to visits of many of its members to this Territory. Dur-
ing the last year, as well as two years previously, a large number of
these c^e as guests of the Territory.
The public nealth has in general been ^ood during the year.
Amon^ other things^ a comprehensive and vigorous antituberculosis
campaign has been instituted b^ the territorial government in con-
junction with private organizations and county governments, and
the new poUcy in regard to the treatment of leprosy has been put
into execution with satisfactory results.
The school enrollment is 25,537, an increase of 648. The College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arte has made rapid progress, and
among other things has obtained all the land for its site, valued at
more than $100,000. Provision has been made, through legislative
action and by arrangements with other libraries and a private donor
and otherwise, for a site, a $100,000 building, 20,000 volumes, and an
annual income of more than $15,000,> toward the establishment and
maintenance of a territorial Ubrary.
Territorial public improvements during the year have been chiefly
in wharves* and waterworks. Among other things, a $300,000 reser-
voir, with a capacity of 700,000,000 gallons, was completed for the
Honolulu waterworks, and a 22-inile j)ipe line, costing $100,000, was
laid for an agricultural district on the island of Maui. Among quasi-
public improvements the most important were the construction of a
cement-lined irrigation ditch nearly 25 miles long, with a capacity
of 100,000,000 gallons daily, at a cost of $800,000, in the district of
Hamakua, on the island of Hawaii, and the partial construction of a
railroad to run from Hilo through the district of North Hilo into the
district of Hamakua, a distance of about 40 miles, and to cost about
$2^00^000.
During the year special attention has been given to increasing the
eflBciency and economy of the government through reorganization,
the bringing of work in all the departments up to date, and other-
wise. Commissions have been appointed to investigate and report
on the subjects of school funds, pnvate wharves and landings, truck
Sardening and marketing, financial aid to homesteaders, stamp
uties and Ucenses^ and pure milk.

NEEDED liEOISIiATTON.
So much of the legislation recommended in my last report
enacted by ConCTess at the last session that very little need be rec-
ommended for the next session.
Chie of the urgent needs for some years past has been an increase
in the f aciUties for passenger travel between Hawdi and the main-
land through the suspension of the coastwise navigation laws for a
limited penod so far as they relate to such travel, or in some other
way.
Appropriations are desired for continuing the work upon Honolulu,
WlOf ana Kahului harbors, for beginning work upon some harbor on
the island of Eauai, and for the fuready authorized pubUc buildings
at Honolulu and Hilo.
The creation of a national park to include the active volcano
Eilauea and neighboring extinct craters and other objects of interest,
is recommended.
A light-house depot is greatly needed.
A fish hatchery and a soil survey also are needed.
SPECIAIi SESSION OF XjEGISIiATURB.
Early in November, 1909, a special session of the legislature, five
days in length, was held to consider a form of bill presented to it
containing many and important proposed amendments to the or-
ganic act. The bill, with a few minor changes, was recommended
unanimousljr by the legislature for enactment by Confess, two
members beii^ absent at the time from each branch of me l^isla-
ture. This bm, further changed slightly by Congress, became law
on May 27, 1910. For its provisions see the next neaaing.
AMENDMENTS OP ORGANIC ACT.
The provisions of the act aj)proved May 27, 1910, to amend the
organic act of the Territory will be referred to more fully in other
parts of this report under the respective appropriate headings. In
general, the act provides for increases in the salaries of a number of
executive and judicial officers and members of the l^islature; it
settles doubts as to the applicability of various federal laws to Hawaii
by providing that such laws, which purport to relate to all Territories,
shall not apply to this Territory, the provisions of its organic act
being deemed sufficient; it settles doubts also as to the powers of tlie
legislature with reference to appropriations, and also as to the va-
lidity of numerous naturalizations made by the circuit courts; it im-
proves in several respects the law relating to disqualifications of
judges; it authorizes the restoration to the Territory of land set aside
out no longer needed for federal purposes, and provides for the
transfer from the Federal Government to the territorial government
of the title to property used or required bj the latter for public Pur-
Eoses; it authorizes longer terms for pubhc bonds; it makes applica-
le to Hawaii all general federal appropriations, the Comptroller of
the Treasury having held previously that some of them, especially
several relating to tne scientific bureaus of the Government, did not
apply

As its principal feature, however, the act makes many long-desired
and mucn-neeoed changes in the land laws: it simplifies the admin is*
tration of those laws and settles a number of important questions as
to their meaning; it pr9vides for giving to persons residing on pubUc
lands, under certain conditions, preferepce rights to obtam titles to
their homes; it provides for settling the title or many churches to lots
lonj^ used as church sites; it places proper limitations on the power of
selling, leasing, and exchanging public lands for other than homestead
purposes. The most important changes in the land laws, however,
consist in the provisions intended for the furtherance of homestead ing.
These require homesteads to be disposed of by drawings instead of at
auction or by standing in line, ana permit the time Umit for compli-
ance with homestead conditions to be extended in proper cases; they
confine the right to acquire homesteads to persons who are citizens
and who have not already sufficient land for a homestead ; and they
prevent diens, corporations, and large landholders from obtaining
control of hereafter-homesteaded lands at any jtime, whether before or
after they have been patented.
EliECTTON ON PROHIBITION.
An effort was made at the last session of Congress to enact a pro-
hibition law for Hawaii, but in consequence of opposition from the
Territory there was substituted for the bill a joint resolution providing
for a referendum to the voters of the Territory upon the question
whether the territorial legislature should enact a prohibitory law at
its next session. This resolution was approved April 26, 1910, and
the election was held July 26, 1910.
Of the 13,274 registered voters, 9,773 participated in the election,
and of these 2,262 voted affirmatively and 7,611 negatively. While
the vote was influenced by many considerations, not the least was the
fact that the Territory has an exceptionally good high-license law.
Its most important feature is the large powers conferred upon the
boards of license commissioners, of which there is one for each county,
composed of five members appointed by the governor with the con-
sent of the senate. These boards are clothed with authority not only
to determine the number of licenses and the persons to whom and
localities for which they may be granted, but also to see that the
licensees live up to the requirements of the law and such conditions
as the commissioners impose.
In general, there was a steady increase in the number of liquor
licenses from 1898, the year of annexation, until 1903; then a slight
decrease until the act of 1905, imder which there was a very large
increase, which fell off slightly until the present act of 1907, which
has resulted in a large decrease.

REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OP HAWAII.
CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS.
The Territory was divided into four counties and county govern-
ments were established on July 1, 1905. There is a small fifth county,
comprising the leper settlement, which, however, is under the board
of health and is a countv in little more than name. The four principal
counties were named for the four principal islands, namely, Oanu,
Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai, which with their respective adjacent
smaller islands constitute the counties. On January 1, 1909, the
county of Oahu was converted into the city and county of Honohilu.
County functions were confined mainly to roads, police, and fire
departments imtil a year ago, when there were added tne construction
and maintenance of district court-houses, jails, schoolhouses, hospitals
and, except in Honolulu, water and sewer works, payment of salaries
and expenses of district courts, and certain health functions.
Until a year ago practically all county revenues were derived from
certain taxes and Ucense fees collected and paid over by the Territory,
but, beginning a year ago, the counties now have the coUection of
license tees otner than hquor license fees, fines and costs of district
courts, and water and sewer rates except in Honolulu, while the Ter-
ritory continues to pay to them one-haft of the poll, school, property,
and general income taxes, and keeps on special deposit for their use
the road taxes.
The total income of the counties, except certain small collections
made by them before the last fiscal vear, has been as follows: 1906,
$1,103,569.58; 1907, $951,582.22; 1908, $1,091,328.83; 1909, $1,189,-
452.86; 1910, $1,394,693.29. For purposes of comparison the amount
for 1906 should be somewhat smaller, both because certain taxes for
more than one year were collected in that year and because the
amounts paid to the counties were determined somewhat arbitrarily
for that, tne first, year of county government.
In the following table the taxes collected by the Territory and
turned over to the counties are the amounts payable to the counties
for the year as shown by the territorial auditor's books, whether
entirely drawn or received by the counties during the year or not,
whUe the amounts collected by the counties are those actually received
during the year as shown by the county books.

FINANCES.
BONDED DEBT.
The bonded debt of the Territory at the begmning of the fiscal year
was $3,959,000, which was increased during the year by an issue of
S200,000 of 3i per cent bonds and decreased by the payment of
S80,000 of the 1903 issue of 4 per cent bonds, leaving a total bonded
indebtedness of $4,079,000 at the close of the year, as follows:
Bonded indebtedness of Territory,
May 1, 1903, 5-16 year 4 per cent bonds $236, OCfO
October 1, 1903, 6-16 year 4i per cent bonds 1, 000, 000
January 2, 1906, 6-16 year 4J per cent bonds 1, 000, 000
October 4, 1906, 6-16 year 4 per cent bonds 600, 000
January 2, 1906, 6-16 year 3} per cent bonds 750, 000
October 1, 1907, 5-15 year 3i per cent bonds 294, 000
October 1, 1909, 5-16 year 3} per cent bonds 200, 000
Total 4,079,000
This is 2.71 per cent of the assessed value of property in the Terri-
tory. These are all public-improvement bonds, except the firet issue,
which was for the payment of claims for propertv destroyed in the
suppression of a plague epidemic, and except tne $600^000 issue,
which was a refund of pubUc-improvement bonds. The issue made
in the last fiscal year was one-half for Honolulu harbor and wharf
improvements, and one-half for a 22-mile pipe line and water works
for the benefit of homesteaders on the island of Maui. There are no
city or county bonds.
Hitherto bonds have been required by the organic act to be redeem-
able in not more than five and payable in not more than fifteen years;
but hereafter, under a recent amendment by Congress, bonds may
be made redeemable and payable in any number of years not exceeding
thirty.
Each sale of territorial bonds has been made on a better basis than
the previous one. In 1903 the 4^ per cent bonds sold at so slight a
Eremium that the percentage basis was 4.50; in 1905 the 4 J per cent
onds sold at 100.1, a percentage basis of 4.20; in 1905 the 4 per cent
bonds sold at 101.375, a percentage basis of 3.70; in 1906 the 3^ per
cent bonds sold at 98.125, a percentage basis of 3.57; in 1907 the 3^
per cent bonds sold at 98.15, a percentage basis of 3.57; and in 1909
the 3i per cent bonds sold at 98.25, a percentage basis of 3.56.
At the beginnii^ of the fiscal year, the cash balance in the sinking-
fund account was $29,532.-66, to which was added during the year
from land sales, public lands department, $40,462.45; from land sales,
public works department, $1,104; from revenues, Honolulu water
works^ $13,437.77; from revenues, Honolulu aewer works, $4,989.93;
from mterest on bank deposits, $215.73; and from general revenues
as provided by the sinking-fund act, $15,236.57, making a total of
$104,979.11, or which $80,000 was paid for redempti<j;i of 4 per cent
bonds, as above stated, leaving a balance of $24,979.11 at tne close
of the year.
In the loan-fund account the cash balance at the beginning of the
year was $85,474.30, to which was added during the year $196,500.
making a total of $281,974.30, from which warrants have been paid

to the amount of $191,309.95, leavih^ at the close of the year a cash

to the amount of $2,460.61.
BBCBIPTS AND BZPENDITX7BBS.
The receipts for the jear were $3,641,245.35, an increase of
$589,718.54 over the amount, $3,051,526.81, for the previous year.
The expenditures were $3,264,364.20, an increase of $329^380.10 over
the amount, $2,934,084.10, for the previous year. The receipts
exceeded the expenditures by $260,338.44, as compared with an
excess of $116,542.71 in receipts over expenditures for the previous
year, and an excess of $147,630.54 in expenditures over receipts for
the vear before that.
The receipts were increased mainly bv an additional and special
income tax miposed for immigration and conservation purposes and
by a lai^e increase in inheritance taxes as well as . in a lesser degree,
by an increase in general taxes and in proceeds or sales and leases of
public lands. These increases were offset, however^ to a considerable
extent by the transfer of the collection of fees for hcenses other than
liquor licenses, fines and costs of magistrates' courts, and certain
water and sewer rates and other revenues to the counties. The
^penditures were increased mainly by the expenditures for immigra-
tion and hy a large increase in payments to counties. There was an
aggregate mcrease of $646,014.33 in receipts from taxes of all kinds,
but owing to the transfer of certain collections as above stated to the
coimties there was a diminution of $56,295.79 in receipts of revenues
of all other kinds.

TAXATION.
The taxes collected during the year amounted to $2,736,650.04,
an increase of $646,014.33 over the amount, $2,080,635.71, for the
previous year.^
There were increases in all classes of taxes except insurance. The
largest increase was in inheritance taxes, which amounted to
$150,153.11 as compared with $17,011.88 for the previous year. In
the table below the greatest apparent increase was in the income tax,
but the amount for 1910 includes a special income tax imposed for
the first time a vear ago, a small portion of which was paid before
the close of the fiscal year 1909; so that for purposes of comparison
of the income taxes for the years 1909 and 1910, the amounts should
be $389,500.94 and $435,994.55, for the general income tax, and
$4,324.29 and $377,694.27 for the special income tax for those years,
respectively, instead of $393,825.23 and $813,678.67 for both taxes
combined. For purposes of comparison, also, the total amount of
taxes for 1906 should be about $665,000 less because in that year
certain taxes were collected for a year and a half.
The assessed value of real and personal property increased from
$138,910,820 to $150,268,467, or nearly 9 per cent. The assessed
value of property of corporations, firms, etc., was $110,302,867; of
Anglo-Saxons, $19,542,375 (these being also the principal owners
through corporations, etc.); of Hawaiians, $12,400,068; of Chinese,
$3,298,632; of Latins, $2,804,313; of Japanese, $1,920,212. Assess-
ments of real property were much greater than of personal property
for Anglo-Saxons. Hawaiians, and Latins, and much less for Orientals,
both Chinese and Japanese. Of the general income tax (exemption
$1,5000, 83 per cent was paid by 297 corporations, etc., and 17 per
cent by 2,022 persons, and of the special income tax (exemption
$4,000), 92i per cent was paid by 277 corporations, etc., and 7\ per
cent by 239 persons. The cost of collecting taxes was 2.56 per cent
of the amount collected, the lowest percentage thus far.

BEPOBT OF THE QOVSBNOB OF HAWAII.
TONNAOB.
The steady increase in the tonnage of vessels entered and cleared
continues. During the last year, the tonnage entered amounted
to 1,308,801; an increase of 149,683, and the tonnage cleared amounted
to 1,292,875, an increase of 133,126, which is exclusive of vessds
engaged in interisl'and traffic and vessels in the miUtary and naval
services.
Notwithstanding the increase of tonnage durii^ the preceding
nine vears, the number of vessels decreased from 705 to 391, owing
mainly to the substitution of steamships for sailing vessels; but
during the last year the number increased to 437, the largest increase
having been in American vessels, the number of which increased
from 284 to 312.
For many years past, even before annexation, commerce with
Hawaii has been mainly in American vessels. Durii^ the last year
about 96 per cent of the freight was carried in American bottoms.
The above figures as well as the following tables do not include
interisland traffic, which b very large and all in American vessels,
or army transports or naval vessels, of which many call at Hawaiian
ports.

BBVENI7B OTTTTEB.
During most of the year the United States revenue cutter TheHs
has been stationed at Honolulu, partly for the purpose of protecting
the bird reserve, created by executive order on February 3, 1909,
comprising many small islands extending over a thousand miles to
the northwest. On one of the cruises of the cutter a number of
Japanese poachers were captured.
TRANSPORTATION FACIIJTIES.
OBNBBAL.
Scarcely any question is of neater importance to the industrial
development of Hawaii than tnat of transportation facilities, both
by sea and by land. During the last year there has beAn further
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
868 BEPOBT OF THE OOVSBNOB OP HAWAII.
improvement in such facilities. Between Hawaii and the mainland
one large steamer, desired for perishable goods as well as for pas-
seneers and general freight, ancf said to be the lareest vessel built in
the United States during the year, has been added by one company,
and a smaller passenger and rreignt steamer has been replaced hj a
lai^er one by another company. Tourist travel and traffic in perish-
able goods, however, keeps pace with the increasing acconiinoda-
tions^ and there is still a marked shortage in the required facilities.
Considerable has been accomplished in railroad construction. Tl^
Federal Government has done much work upon the harbors at
Honolulu and Hilo, islands of Oahu and Hawaii, respectively, and
there are good prospects for an early beginning of ^ork on the har-
bor of Kahului, island of Maui, and at a later date on one of the
harbors of the island of Kauai. Negotiations are in progress for the
construction of a wharf that can accommodate the largest steamers
umier the lee of the partially constructed breakwater at Hilo. A
whe rf for interisland steamers has been constructed at Kahului and
plans made for the construction of a wharf for the lai^est steameis
at that port as soon as the harbor has been further improved. These
wharves will obviate the necessity of lightering at those ports.
Additional steamers have been equipped with long-distance wireless
apparatus, thus assuring greater safety and at the same time addnig
greatly to the convenience of handling vessels at the various ports.
VESSELS.
Transportation facilities by sea may be classified as follows:
(1) Interisland traffic, (2) traffic between the Territory and the
mainland and Mexico, and (3) trans-Pacific traffic, matong Hawaii
a point of call.
INTERISLAND TRAFFIC.
This continues to be conducted almost exclusively bv the Inter-
island Steam Navigation Company, whose fleet consists of 16 steamers
of from 192 to 940 tons net renter each and an affgre^ate net tonna^
of 6^318. These steamers visit regularly^ nearly dl ports in the
Territory and give excellent service. During the year they carried
62,236 passengers and approximately 414,003 tons of freight, an in-
crease of 6,871 passengers and 45,907 tons of freight over the amounts
of the preceding year.
The company has imder consideration plans for the construction
of an additional large steamer to meet the growing traffic. Honolulu
is the home port for most of these steamers, the distances from which
to other ports range up to 250 miles. Fares range up to S13 per
passenger, according to distance.
TRAFFIO BETWEEN HAWAH, THE MAINLAND, AND MBXICK).
Five steamship companies are engaged in this traffic. The
American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, with headquarters in New
York, has withdrawn from direct service between the Territory and
San Francisco, that traffic being met more fully now by the Matson
Navigation Company. The former company continues to handle
most of the traffic between the Territory and the Atlantic coast, by
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
EEPOBT OP THE GOVERNOR OP HAWAU. 369
way of the Tehuantepec National Railway through Mexico. No
steamers have been dispatched during the year by this company by
way of the Strait of Magellan. This line connects at Puerto Mexico
on the Atlantic side with eight steamship lines plying regularly
between that port and the principal European and oouth American
ports and with five steamship lines on the racific side, thus affording
excellent facilities for through traffic between the Territory imd
foreign ports. This company has two services: (a) A triangular
12-day service between Hawaii; Salina Cruz, San Francisco, and
Puget Sound, with six large steamers, each of 12,500 tons dead-
weight capacity. From six to eight smaller steamers operate between
Puerto Mexico, Philadelphia, and New York on a^ ^ay schedule.
These, in connection with the steamers on the Pacific side, provide
an ideal service. The line .carries, besides minor products, about
260,000 tons of sugar a year to Philadelphia and New York and large
quantities^ of merchandise in return. (6) A Pacific coast triweeldy
service with four steamers between Salina Cruz and Pacific coast
ports as far north as Seattle and Tacoma, making connections with
the triangular service above described.
The Matson Navigation Company's rapidly growing fleet of
steamers, now six in number, is doing much to improve transporta-
tion facilities between Hawaii and the Pacific coast. Two freight
steamers of 3,500 to 4,000 tons nm between island ports, San Fran-
cisco, and Puget Sound on a 42-day schedule; two freight steamers of
6,000 tons, with limited accommodations for passengers, nm between
island ports and San Francisco on a 28-day schedule; one steamer of
about 4,000 tons, with limited passenger accommodations, runs
between Hilo and San Francisco on a 25-dav schedule. The sixth
steamer, the WiThelmina, which was added dfuring the year, with a
freight-carrying capacity of 7,000 tons and accommodations for 150
first-class passengers and 200 steerage passengers, runs between San
Francisco, Honoliilu, and Hilo on a 28-day schedule. Several of these
steamers are equipped for handling fresh fruit and ice-house goods.
Fares on these steamers range from $65 upward one way and from
$110 upward for a roimd trip. A new steamer, the Honolulany will
be added during the present year, to be operated by this company,
but constructeaby tne American-Hawaiian Company.
The Oceanic Steamship Company operates one steamer between
Honolulu and San Francisco on a 3-week schedule, with accommo-
dations for 140 cabin passengers and 75 steerage passengers. TMs
larce steamer replaced a smaller one during the year.
The Union Steamship Company operates nine tank steamers and
barges between California and Hawaii for the transportation of
crude oil.
The Associated Oil Company operates two steamers, two sailing
vessels, and one barge in the crude-oil traffic.
A few American sailing vessels continue to carry sugar aroimd
Cape Horn.
THKOUGH SERVIOE.
Besides the United States army transports, which call regularly at
Honolulu on their voyages between San Francisco and the Fliilippine
Islands, there are three regular through steamship lines. The Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Company has gone out of existence;
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
370 REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAH.
one of its two steamers was taken over by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and the other is employed between oriental ports. During
the year the steamer Clevdana, of the Hambui^-Amencan Steanoship
Company, called at Honolulu on each of its two round-the-worla
excursions.
The Pacific Mail Steamship) Company is the only through line
engaged in passenger and freight traffic between Uftwaii and San
Francisco. This company operates six steamers, one of whichy how-
ever, is under foreign register. The fare on the foinr larger steam^s
is $75, round trip $135, and on the remaining American steamer $65,
rotmd trip $110, between Honolulu and San Francisco. Tbese
steamers have large passenger acconmiodations. but they are often
practically filled before the steamers arrive at Honolulu on the east-
ward trips. The company plans to construct two additional lai^
passenger steamers, each with accommodations for from 400 to 500
first-classpassengers, of the type of the North Oerman Lloyd steamer
Georae WaahingUm. It will require, however, two years or so to
build these.
The Toyo EJsen Eaisha continues to operate three steamers between
the Cbrient and San Fnmcisco, two of wnich are very large and supe-
rior in everjr way. This company operates also three steamers on a
South American line.
The Canadian-Australian Steamship Company operates four
steamers between Vancouver and Australia, one reachmg Honolulu
each way monthly. The fare to Vancouver and also to San Fran-
cisco by steamer and rail is $75, or, with stop-over privileges, $80.
A large new steamer, the Zdandia, has recently been added to replace
one of the older vessels.
The Balfour line, a British company, has announced that it will
commence a regular steamship service in October between European
and Pacific coast ports by way of Honolulu.
A few sailing vessels continue to bring general merchandise from
Europe, coal from Australia, and nitrates from South American
ports. These are mostly foreign vessels. A few small American
sailing vessels are eng^ed in carrying lumber, railroad ties, and
other freight between Hawaii and the Pacific coast. In general,
the steamsnip has displaced the sailing vessel.
STEAK BAILBOADS.
Island of Oahu. — ^The most extensive railroad in the Territory is
that of the Oahu Railway and Land Company, on the island of Oahu.
It has 98.47 miles of mam line and branches and extensive terminal
facilities, with wharves and warehouses at Honolulu. It runs from
Honolulu along the shore around Pearl Harbor to Eoihuku, a dis-
tance of about 72 miles, and has a branch line about 12 miles long
to the pineapple district on the tableland between the two ranges
of mountains. This branch was extended 2.04 miles during the last
irear in order to reach an additional tract of 6,000 acres of pineapple
and. This branch has two subbranches, one on one side through
pineapple lands and the other on the other side to the United States
cavalry post. During the year the road carried 617,719 passengers,
an increase of 123,232 over the number for the previous year, and
531,751 tons of freight, an increase of 115,691. The road connects
with over 100 miles of plantation railways along its line.

EEPOBT OF THE GOVEBNOB OF HAWAU. 371
The Koolau Railway, 11 miles in length, is practically an extension
of the above railway, although under a different company.
Island of Hcmxm. — ^The principal railroad on this island, and the
only standard-gauge railroad in the Territory, is that of the Hilo
Railroad Company, with 46.25 miles of main une and branches. It
runs from Hilo in a southerly direction 9 miles to the Olaa sugar mill,
where it branches, one branch running to the 22-mile station on the
Volcano road ana the other into the district of Puna. Four and
one-half miles of a branch in Puna to a sawmill were rebuilt during
the year. The main Puna line is being extended several miles from
Kapoho to Malama, in order to connect with another sawmill. The
road carried during the year 77,074 passengers, an increase of 1,750
over the number for the previous year, and 189,796 tons of freight, an
increase of 71,145.
This road was constructed into an undeveloped country, and an
extension greatly needed for many years is now about to be con-
structed in a northerly, or opposite, direction from Hilo through one
of the largest cultivated regions in the Territorv. Construction is
well along on the first section, 14 miles in length, and financial ar-
rangements have recentl}^ been made for continuing construction 24
miles farther. Construction through this region is difficult and very
expensive on account of the large number of gulches and canyons.
The bridges are being made of concrete as far as practicable, but
there will be a niunber of high steel bridges.
Althoi^h this railway has a pier wharr 800 feet long and 100 feet
wide at HSIo, it is necessary to lighter freight to the larger vessels ; but,
now that the breakwater has been constructed for a considerable
distance, the company proposes soon to erect a wharf near the land
end of tne breakwater at which the largest steamers may dock.
The Hawaii Railroad Company has 20 miles of track, running from
theport of Mahukona through the district of North Kohala.
The Kona Railroad Company has 10 miles of track in the district of
Kona.
Congress has recently ratified a franchise granted by the last terri-
torial legislature for a new railroad through the district of Eona and
the adjoming district of Eau.
Island of Maui. — No extensive changes have been made in the line
of the Eanului Railroad Coxnpany, 15.6 miles in length, which runs
from the port of Eahului to Wailuku in one direction and to Paia in
the other, thus connecting east and west Maui. This road connects
with more than 100 miles of plantation railroads. The company has
recently constructed a new wnarf for interisland steamers at Eahului :
and, now that Congress has provided for the further development or
this harbor, already partially developed by this company, the com-
pany proposes to construct a wharf for the accommodation of vessels
of all sizes and thus make lightering unnecessary.
Island of Kauai. — The Eauai Railway Company operates 8 miles
of track from Port Allen (Hanapepe Bay) through the McBryde
sugar plantation to the village of Eoioa in one direction and about a
mile of track in the other direction, the latter connecting with' the
tracks of another sugar plantation. During the year an extension
was made to a lime quarry at Eoloa, where lime will be manufac-
tured for the use of tne plantations on that side of the island. A
short branch inland to a nomestead district was completed. About
3) miles of extension were constructed during the year.

POPUIiATION. IMMIGRATION, AND IiABOR.
In addition to the general census there were made at the same
time and under the same general direction the investigation of labor
conditions required by the organic act to be made every five years,
and also a military census of the Territory and a social census of the
city of Honolulu. The results of these are not yet available, except
the general enumeration by races, which is shown by the following

The census this year was taken in much greater detail as to nationr
aUties than was that of ten years ago, when the classification was such
as not onlv to be somewhat obscure in itself, but also to make com-
parisons difficult. The foregoing is about as close a comparison as
can be made under the circumstances. The Part-Hawaiians for 1910
include 8,773 Gaucasian-Hawaiians aud 3,712 Asiatic-Hawaiians, the
former being much more than double the latter; the increase in Part-
Hawaiians IS much greater than the decrease in pure Hawaiians.
The Spanish and Porto Ricans are new elements in the population.
The percentage increase in Portuguese has been large as has also that
in otner Caucasians, comprising mainly Americans^ British, and Ger-
mans. While the lai^est single absolute increase is in Japanese, the
total increase in Orientals is less both absolutely and in percentage
than in non-Orientals. The number under "All others" is made up
chiefly of Koreans and Filipinos, and includes also 687 blacks and
mulattoes. The net increase in the entire population is 37,908 or
24.62 per cent. The population of the city of Honolulu is probably
upward of 50,000, as compared with 39,300 ten years ago. Reported
births in the Territory during the year numbered 4,302 and deaths
2,912.
While departures of Japanese considerably exceed arrivals, Japa-
nese births are numerous. During the last ten years the number of
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
tJEPOKt Of tHfe dOVSbKOft 09 fiAWAll.
m
Japanese pupils in the schools has increased from 1,352 to 7.078.
Very few j apanese bom in the Territory, however, have reached the
voting age; more Chinese have reached this age. Both Japanese and
Chinese are desirous of establishing their Hawaiian birth. For some
years past the secretary of the Territory has issued Hawaiian birth
certificates under territorial laws after careful investigation of the
facts. During the last year there were issued 1,098 for Chinese and
3,475 for Japanese, a total of 4,573 of all ages, but mostly minors.
Among the Japanese these are mostly males; among the Chinese the
larger number is of females; The Portuguese are increasing rapidly,
and many have reached the voting age.
The following table prepared as accurately as possible from all
available data, both official and unofficial, snows the arrivals and
departures of Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans, by adult males, adult
females^ and children, during the ten years from the establishment of
territorial government on June 14, 1900, to the end of the last fiscal
J ear, Jime 30, 1910. During a portion of this period, however, the
apanese children are included m the figures tor adult males and
adult females, thus making the figures for the children lower and
those for the males and females coi1*espondingly higher than thev
ought to be for the period. These show an excess of 2,235 in arrivals
over departures of Japanese, and since the census shows a total
increase of 18,548 in Japanese apparently there has been an increase
of 16,313 through excess of births over deaths in the Territory. In
the case of the Chinese there was an excess of 10,338 in departures
over arrivals, and since the census shows a net decrease of 4,064
the total decrease has apparently been offset to the extent of 5,274
through excess of births over deaths in the Territory. There was
an excess of 5,321 in arrivals over departures of Koreans, but as the
census does not enumerate the Koreans separately it does not appear
what the excess has been of births over deaths in the Territory.
The excess of births oyer deaths among the Japanese and Chinese is
based on the assumption that the census was equally accurate in
1900 and 1910. The birth and death rates of Orientals in Hawaii,
especially Japanese, is affected abnormally by the disproportionate
number of males (which tends to a lower percentage birth rate), by
the disproportionate number of adults of both sexes in the prime of
life (which tends to lower the death rate and increase the birth rate)
and by the remarkably large percentage of married females (which,
of course, tends to increase the birth rate).

A year ago a special income tax was imposed of 2 per cent upon
ncomes over $4,000, three-fourths of which was to be used for immi-
gration purposes. The chief object was to encourage immigration
other than oriental.
By means of this fund in December, 1909, the territorial board of
immigration introduced 868 Portuguese, comprising 337 men, 221
women, and 310 children, from Madeira and the Azores at a cost of
about $80,000. Recent investigations show that these people are
faring well and are satisfied with their new conditions.
The number of immigrants available from Madeira and the Azores
having been found insufficient at that time, owing to the prevailing
prosperity there and the inducements offered by Brazil, attention
was turned to Russians in Siberia and Manchuria, manv of whom, it
was understood, had been assisted to those countries m)m tht? Ural
region in European Russia, but had not found conditions there satis-
factory. Accordingly 255 Russians, comprising 109 men, 67 women,
and 79 children, were introduced in October, 1909. These proved so
satisfactory and the need of additional laborers was so great that
1,535 more, namely, 815 men, 333 women, and 387 children, were
introduced in February, March, April, and May, 1910. Of these 17
have been returned. Several of these lots declmed at first to accept
employment, claiming that conditions had been misrepresented.
Diphtheria, Drought with them, broke out and they were quarantined
several weeks. Investigations showed that no material misrepresen-
tations had been made and that their claims were the result of insti-
gation by agitators. Most of them finally went to work, some on the
plantations, some in the lumber miUs, some on railroads, and others
m various other lines. The total cost of bringing the 1,790 Russians
was $130,021.52, besides quarantine expenses at Honolulu, amount-
ing to $17,735.79. A number of these Russians have gone to the
Pacific coast, a few of whom have returned, finding conoitions there
no more favorable than here. One of the difficulties in the way of
retaining laborers in Hawaii consists in the inducements offered in
various lines on the Pacific coast during certain seasons lasting only
a few months. The laborers then find themselves in straitened cir-
cumstances and complain to charitable oi]ganizations and thereby
tend to produce prejudice against immigration to Hawaii and condi-
tions in Hawaii. Ihe Russians are probably the best immigrants
ever brought to Hawaii and rank higher than most of the immigrants
from Europe to the eastern States. As it turned out, probably
greater care should have been taken to avoid obtaining those who

were not agriculturists, and it would have been better to have
introduced them more gradually.
Action has been taken since the close of the fiscal year to obtain
additional Portug^uese from Madeira, the Azores, and Portugal, the
immigration of tms race having proved successful, although the num-
ber desirous of emigrating to mese islands is limited.
An important step has now been taken bv the employment by the
board of immigration of Victor S. Clark, of the federal bureau of labor,
to take chaise of the work of the board, with a view to putting that
work on a more permanent and scientific basis.
The strike on tne island of Oahu, involving 7,000 Japanese laborers,
which began before the close of the preceding fiscal year, ended early
during the last fiscal year. Several Japanese, who were mainly
responsible for this strike but who were not laborers themselves,
were convicted of conspiracy and imprisoned but have since been
pardoned, and now the relations between the Japanese laborers gen-
erally and their employers are very satisfactory.
PUBLIC LANDS.
AHBHDMBNTS OF LAND LAWS.
The laws relating to public lands in Hawaii were amended in many
important respects by an act of Congress approved May 27, 1910.
These amendments are the result of careful study extending over the
preceding two years, and were unanimously recommended to Congress
oy the territonal legislature at a special session caUed for the purpose
last November. Tney mark the beginning of a new era in public
land matters in Hawaii. The principal changes will be set forth in
connection with their respective subjects below.
ADMINISTBATION.
The amendments provide for the consoUdation of the administration
of public lands under one department, namely, that of pubUc lands,
sucii administration having previously been vested in part in the de-
partments of public wor& and public instruction. They provide
also that lands required for forestrv or other pubUc purposes shall be
set aside, or transferred to other departments, for such purposes by
direction of the governor, and similarly transferred back to the de-
partment of public lands when necessary for purposes of sales or
other dispositions, thus rendering definite the status of all lands, the
status 01 some of which was previously uncertain by reason of the
indefiniteness of the descriptions of the classes of lands under the
respective departments. The amendments also authorize the land
commissioner to prescribe forms of oaths and to perform aU other
necessary acts and, with the approval of the governor and a land
board created by the amendments and appointed by the governor
with the consent of the senate, to make necessary and proper rules
and regulations.
Some of the beneficial results expected from consolidation have
been realized during the year through the appointment, sanctioned
by the last legislature, of the same person as head of the aepartments
of public lands, public works and survey. This has resulted in a bet-
ter coordination of the work of these departments and consequent

greater eflSciency and economy. A successful effort, facilitated by
such coordination, was made to close up by the end of the year prac-
tically aU unfinished business. This was desirable in itself and par-
ticularly at this time in order to be prepared for the ^eat increase
in work which the amendments will necessitate. Since tne enactm^it
of the amendments there have been prepared a compilation of the
land laws as changed, a pamphlet of information, and numerous new
forms.
HOMBSTEADINO.
The most important amendments relate to this subject. The chief
difficulty hitherto has resulted from the temptation to take up land
ostensibly for homesteading, but really for speculation or investment.
The amendments aim to prevent this by imposing additional restric-
tions both as to who may take homesteads and as to their powers of
idienation whether before or after a patent is obtained. Tne taUng'
of a homestead is forbidden to a person who or whose husband or wife
shall previously have taken one or shall then own other land in the
Territory the combined area of which and the land in question exceeds
80 acres, or who is an alien unless he has declared his mtention to be-
come a citizen, in which case he must complete his citizenship within
five years. In other words, the amendments prevent repeating, Uiey
prevent the land from going to persons who already have sumcient
tor a homestead, and they prevent it from going to aliens. After a
homestead has been taken, neither the land nor any interest therein
or control thereof can, except in certain cases, at any time, whether
before or after a patent is ootained, be in any way transferred to or
held bv or for the benefit of any alien, or any corporation, or any per-
son who owns or controls directly or indirectly other land the com-
bined area of which and the lana in ciuestion exceeds 80 acres. On
the other hand the amendments permit the times for compliance with
homestead conditions to be extended in proper cases, and also require
that homesteads shall be offered by drawing or dlotment, and not,
as hitherto, by sale at auction or by standing in line. The amend-
ments also require the commissioner of pubUc lands to cause home-
steads to be surveyed and opened in the various parts of the Territory,
and particularly, subject to certain qualifications, requires him to open
sufficient land m any particular district when requested by 25 or more
persons; at the same time they provide the necessary funds for sur-
veying and opening lands for homestead purposes on a more extensive
scale by makmg available for this purpose the proceeds derived from
sales and leases of pubUc lands.
Already numerous applications for opening lands have been re-
ceived. ix)ts previously surveyed have in many cases been resur-
veyed, and subdivided when too large, and new lots also have been
surveyed, with the result that already a drawing has been advertised
for 1,026 lots, distributed over the nve principS islands, containing
in the aggregate 29,989.05 acres and appraised at $141,230.34. The
appraisements are generally made at a third or less of the actual value
in view of the requirements of residence and cultivation. The area
varies, according to the location and character of the land, from a
fraction of an acre to 80 acres per lot. Applicants are given the choice
not only of lots in the order of their assignment, but also of the four
methods by which a lot may be homesteaded. These are the home-

dence, and cultivation. The sales for homestead purposes during the

LEASES AND LICENSES.
The amendments place a check upon the leasing of lands by pro-
viding that no lease of agricultural land exceeding 40 acres in area,
or of pastoral or waste land exceeding 200 acres in area, shall be
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
382 KEPOKT OF THE GOVERNOR OP HAWAIL
made without the approval of two-thirds of the land board,
of agricultural land may be made for not exceeding fifteen years and
of pastoral land for not exceeding twenty-one years, and every such
lease contains a provision that the whole or any part of the land may
be withdrawn at any time for homestead or other public purposes.
Many of the lands are valuable and yield large rentals, but tne {>olicy
of leasing them until they are requu:ed for nomestead or other pur-
poses is justified by even more important considerations than that
of revenue. It encourages industries, aids in the development of
the Territory, and by enabling those who have sufficient capital to
improve the lands oy reducing them to cultivation, constructing
irrigation works, and otherwise prepares them for homesteading or
further leasing at increased rentals.
During the year 51 general leases were made for terms of from one
and a hdf to twenty-one vears, with an aggr^ate area of 9,809 acres
and an aggregate annual rental of $15,530, as compared with the
same number of leases covering 18,178.57 acres at rentals a^regat-
ing $11,779.50 for the previous year. One water license, covering
the land of Honomanu, in the district of Koolau, on the island of Mam,
was made for a term of ten years, at a rental of $22,500 a year. Two
timber licenses were issued, one covering 450 acres, at $6 per acre, and
the other 12,000 acres, at $5 per acre, payable in installments, on the
land of Kaohe, in the district of Pima, on the island of Hawaii. A
right of way for a ditch over certain public lands in HamiJcua,
Hawaii, was granted to an irrigation company in return for 500,000
gallons of water daily for public uses and settlement purposes.
The rentals from all general leases and water and timber licenses
under the public lands department amoimted to $230,964.31, an
increase of $58,259.53 over the amount for the preceding year. The
increase for the preceding year was $61,748.25 over the amount for
the year before that.
Under the public works department the rentals amounted to
$27,011, an increase of $2,599.20, and under the public instruction
department the rentals amounted to $96.
EXCHANGES.
The amendments limit the power to exchange public lands for
other lands by providing that no exchange shall be made by which
the Territory shall convey lands exceeding 40 acres in area or $5,000
in value, or without the approval of two-thirds of the land board, or
except to acquire lands directly for public uses. The amendments
also settle the status of land acquired by exchange by providing that
it shall have the same status as if it had previously been public land.
It has been felt for some time that the acqiusition of lands by
exchange was not satisfactory in all respects, and accordinglv the
last legislature provided that, instead of acquiring such lands by
exchange, they might be acquired by selling the lanas proposed to be
fiven in exchange and using the proceeds for the purchase of the lands
esired. This method has proved very satisfactory during the last
year. A number of pieces have been sold for this piupose, and few
direct exchanges have been made. Such sales were made of 44 pieces,
aggregating 703.51 acres, upon which $23,140.63 has been paid,
several of the lots having been sold on installments. Similar sales
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOET OF THE GOVERNOB OF HAWAH. 383
were made of 24 pieces, aggregating 8.80 acres, for $39,609, by the
public works department.
Of the total of $62,749.63 thus realized, $48,624.60 was expended
in the purchase of 10 pieces agCTegating about 36 acres. Of this,
$36,053.50 was for two pieces of land for the college of agriculture,
$9,450 for two school sites, and lesser amounts for one reservoir site
and five pieces for roads.
Five small pieces, aggregating 15.65 acres, were conveyed in
exchange for five other pieces, aggregating about 17 acres, desired
chiefly 3for road purposes. One piece of 81 .5 acres of pastoral land was
exchanged for a large nimiber of pieces of agricultural land required
for the use of the boys' reformatory school. One piece, containing
66.67 acres, mainly of agricultural land, was conveyed for home-
stead purposes in exchange for certain pieces of land desired for
school ana other purposes. Two tracts, aggregating 50.10 acres, of
a^cultural and waste Jand, were conveyed m return for several
pieces reouired for a park, stables, and school site at Wailuku on the
island of Maui.
Two large exchanges were made. In one case the conveyances
were made merely to complete an exchange arranged for the year
before, by which 1,358.75 acres of land, about two- thirds of which
was suitable for sugar cane, but for which the government had no
water for necessary irrigation, were conveyed for 1,777 acres of land
with ample rainfall and suitable for homestead purposes, and 1,000,000
gallons of water daily for domestic purposes, at Kalaheo, on the
island of Kauai. In the other case tne Territory conveyed 1,290.2
acres — a little more than half of which has been in cane and which
requires irrigation — ^for a number of pieces containing in the aggre-
gate nearly 3,000 acres, mainly homesteading land, at Kapaa, on the
island of Kauai, and a tract of land in Honolulu required for the
college of agriculture. This exchange seemed desirable, not only in
order to acquire a large area of land suitable for homesteading, but
also in order to consolidate a number of public lands which were
sandwiched in with private lands, and in order to facilitate the
development and use of water on tnese lands.
Under the public works department, 18 pieces^ aggregating about
38 acres, were exchanged for 17 pieces aggregatmg about the same
area, of which one piece was for school and. 16 pieces were for road
piuposes.
SALES.
The amendments place further limitations upon the power of sale
by providing that no land shall be sold for other than homestead
purposes, except for residence purposes, in lots not exceeding 3 acres
m axea, and necessary areas for railwav, irrigation, factory, mercan-
tile, hotel, church, private school, and. various otner purposes, and
that in such cases the sales shall not be made without the approval of
the land board. They also permit a preference right to purchase at
an appraised value to be given in certain cases to a person who has
improved any parcel of land and resided thereon continuously since
the passage of the organic act, and also permit conveyances to be
made to church or religious organizations of lands continuously
occupied by them as church sites for not less than five years previously
to the passage of the amendments.

Besides the lands disposed of as homesteads and by way of exchange
and for the purchase of other lands in lieu of exchange, as above set
forth, there were sales of 54 pieces, aggregating 437.15 acres, at prices
aggregating $8,457.40 The majority of these were small pieces (A
taro land of about an acre each, to be used in connection with resi-
dence lots, a few were residence lots and a few were cemetery, schooL
and church sites. Sales of all kinds imder this department amoimted
to $71,876.18, as compared with $48,807.84 for the preceding year.
There were also sales under the public works department to the
amount of $40,713, as compared with $5,603 for the preceding year.
Under the public works department, besides the sales and exchanges
above referred to, five pieces were sold for an aggregate of $1,104.
Fifteen patents were issued on land commission awards, 14 on
exchanges, and 144 in other cases in the pubUc lands department, and
7 on exchanges and 26 in other cases in the public works department.
OOMMX7TATIONS.
In pursuance of an act of the last legislature, steps have been taken
for settling the so-called ^'conmiutations," that is, obligations to pay
to the government one-third or one-quarter of the unimproved value
of certain lands as they were at the time when land-commission awards
were issued for them about sixty years ago. This has involved a vast
amount of research work in order to ascertain in what cases commu-
tation was due, make the appraisements of the former values of the
lands, obtain the necessary descriptions and present ownershi]>s, and '
so forth. Notice to the holders of the lands has been advertised in
compUance with the law, and steps will now be taken for the enforce-
ment of the liens created bv the statute in cases in which commuta-
tions are not paid voluntarily. The notice covered 270 cases, in which
the commutations aggregated $11,243.87. Since then 74 cases have
been settled. There remain now 196 cases in which the commutar
tions aggregate $7,601.92.
TBANSFBBS FOB PXJBLIO PT7BPOSES.
The amendments to the organic act provide that public land, after
it has been taken over for the purposes of the Federal Government by
direction of the President or the governor, may be restored to its
previous status by direction of the President; also, that the title of
any public land in the possession and use of the Territory or required
by it for public purposes may be transferred to it by direction of the
President, and tnat the title to any propertv so transferred maj be
further transferred to any city, county, or other poUtical subdivision
of the Territory by direction of the governor when authorized bv the
legislature. It wul be remembered that the title to the public lands
b in the United States, but their management and disposal in the
territorial government.
As to transfers between the various departments of the territorial
government, which the amendments require shall hereafter in all
cases be made hy order of the governor, an abandoned school lot in
Honolulu, containing 8,190 square feet, was transferred from the
department of public instruction to that of public works for use by
the Honolulu fire department, and two forest reserves, aj
872 acres, were created and thereby transferred to the
agriculture and forestry.

KILATTBA NATIONAL PABK.
Kilauea, said to be the largest active volcano in the world, is situ-
ated at an elevation of 4,000 feet on the belt road around the largest
island, Hawaii. It is on the slope of Mauna Loa, which also nas
a crater^ occasionally active, at its summit, nearly 14,000 feet high.
Near Kilauea there are a number of deep, picturesque pit craters;
also sulphur banks, lava tree molds, forests of tree ferns, and other
objects of interest. On its rim there is a hotel, from wnich to the
lake of lava, a distance of 7 miles by a scenic route, the Territory
has recently constructed an automobile road. Preliminary steps
have been taken for the establishment and maintenance or a vol-
cano and earthquake observatory there. This volcano is one of
Hawaii's chief attractions for tourists.
The creation of a national park, to include Kilauea and some of
the surrounding country, has teen discussed more or less for several
years. There seems to be a general agreement in the Territory
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
886 BEPOBT OF /THE GOVEBNOB OF HAWAIL
that that should be done. The park might well include also the
summit crater of Mauna Loa and a strip for a roadway between
the two craters.
The summit crater and part of Kilauea are on public lands, and
negotiations have been begun to ascertain what arrangements can
be made for the acquisition of necessary adjoining pnvate lands.
A survey has been ordered for the purpose of definitely locating the
several pit craters and other objects and determining the best bounds
for the proposed park.
An act of Confess is desired for the creation of the park.
SURVEY.
A successful effort has been made to complete all pending work
by the end of the fiscal year, and especially in the preparation of
surveys and descriptions for patents and homestead agreements
required to enable the land department to bring its work up to date.
The impetus given to homesteadine by the recent amendments made
by Coi^ess to the Hawaiian land laws will necessitate a large in-
crease m the work of this department, and at the same time the
necessary funds have been provided by making available for the
survey and opening of land for homestead purposes the proceeds of
sales and leases of public lands. Owing to the contour and charac-
ter of the land, each homestead lot must be carefully surveyed, the
area and shape of each varying according to the circumstances; at
the same time^ roads must be laid out with proper grades; often,
also, the land is covered with dense vegetation, making access diflB-
cult. Thus the work of surveying is very large in comparison with
the surveyed areas, but with past work brought up to date and with
ample means the department expects to do a large amount of sur-
veying during the coming year in order to meet the mcreased demand
for homesteads. For topographic and hydrographic surveys, see
heading ''Public works."
OFFICE WOBK.
Fourteen sets of maps of 50 homestead tracts have been prepared
for distribution among the land agents for exhibition to persons on
the different islands desiring homesteads. There have been fur-
nished descriptions of surveys with sketch plans attached of 519 lots
in 36 homestead tracts, 117 descriptions and plans of miscellaneous
surveys, 52 tracings, 1,837 blueprints, and 293 published maps.
Eleven land surveys and plans have been examined and reported
upon for the court of land registration. A Ust of impatented land
commission awards, which are subject to government commutation,
has been compiled and the commutation appraised. A map of the
district of South Kona, Hawaii, showing awarded and patented lands
and the status of unsettled boimdaries, has been completed. The
time service has been continued, chronometers rated, and an auto-
matic tide gauge kept. Descriptions of surveys and plans for land
exchanges, irrigation schemes, and railroad rignts of way have been
examined and reported on, and information of various kinds has
been furnished to the United States engineers. United States Geo-
logical Survey, and others.

FIELD WOBK.
The following is a brief description of most of the field work:
Island of Havxdi, — Hilo district: The land of Eihalani was par-
tiaUj subdivided into homestead lots.
E!ohala district: The Puuepa-Kokoiki and Ahualoa-Haena lands
were partially subdiyided for nomestead purposes.
North Kona district: The boimdaries of the land of Kau, extending
from the sea to an elevation of 3,000 feet and inclosing an area ol
1,516 acres, were examined preparatory to a decree by the boundary
commissioner.
Kau district: A detailed survey and title study were made of the
Kamaoa lands, containing 3,000 acres, and a portion was subdivided
into 88 homestead lots, aggregating 1,620.5 acres.
A detailed survey of Waiohinu village was made, establishing all
original titles, and remnants were laid out into 42 house lots of
about an acre each, and a tract of 60 acres, suitable for the cultivation
of taro, was subdivided into 50 lots.
Two lots in the Kiolokaa-Keaa tract were subdivided into 8 lots
aggregating 333.8 acres.
A lot containing 31 acres of the Kaimamano tract was laid out for
coimty purposes, and reservoir sites and lots used for laborers'
quarters were surveyed.
Island of Maui. — Portions of the Lahainalima school lands aggre-
gating 101.75 acres, to be cultivated in sugar cane, were sunreyea.
Remnants in Honuaula, aggregating 2,970 acres, were surveyed;
also two school lots containing 4 acres. Remnants in PolipoU and
Blapoino, containing 34.78 and 15.32 acres, respectively, ana a right
of way containing 0.92 acres for a ditch through the land of Kou were
surveyed; also a lot for a coimty park, containing 6.65 acres, and a
lot for coimtv stables, containing 1.56 acres, in Wailuku, and the
landing at Makena, containing 0.19 acres. The lands of Waiohuli
and Keokea, containing 16,000 acres, were classified into forest,
^ricultural, and grazing lands. Portions of Alae 3 and 4 and
loTealahou, containing 404' acres, were resubdivided.
Island of Oahu, — About 50 surveys were made, mostly in the city
of Honolulu and vicinity, for puolic-road improvements, sales of
house lots and remnants, and the adjustment of boundaries.
Island of Kauai, — The surface-water survey of the Kapaa, Anahola,
and Kamalomalo lands was completed, and various surveys made of
reservoirs and reservoir sites, ditches, etc.; also a detailed topo-
gaphic survey was made of the forest portions of Anahola and
amalomalo. A number of homestead lots in the Anahola Valley
were laid out. Portions of Piwai and Omao are being surveyed for
homesteads.
IRRIGATION AND RECLAMATION.
The importance of irrigation, the extent, character, and ownership
of irrigation works, the kmds of crops irrigated, and the laws relating
to waters in this Territory were set forth in my last report.
During the last year the chief feature of a general nature was the
institution of a topographic and hydrographic survey of the islands
in cooperation with tne United States Geological Survey, made pos-

388 BBPOBT OF THE GOVBENOB OP HAWAII.
sible by the special conservation fund created by the last legislature,
and now to be facilitated by the action of Co^ress in authorizing an
allotment of federal funds for this purpose. In connection with this
an exhaustive study of the artesian wells of the Territory has been
made. These subjects are referred to more fully under the heading
"PubUc works."
In public waterworks the principal features were the completion of
a $300,000 reservoir for the Honolulu waterworks and the construc-
tion of a SlOOyOOO pipe line intended chiefly for domestic and live-
stock purposes in an agricultural district on the island of MauL
Tliese also are referred to more fully under the same heading.
The principal water Ucense issued was one for the surplus water of
a remote canyon on the island of Maui for an annual fee of $22,500
for a period of ten years, subject to the right of the Territory to take
the water for reclamation or other public purposes at any tmie after
two years.
The principal achievement through private enterprise was the
construction of the lower Hamakua ditch in the district of Hamakua
on the island of Hawaii. The Kohala Mountain is the largest single
water source on that large island. Two companies, the control of
which is now in a third coinpany, have licenses to take water from
this mountain, one from the Temtory on one side, the other from the
trustees of the Bishop estate on the other side. These are practically
the only irrigation companies of considerable size in the Territory, the
stockholders in which are not interested also directly or indirectly m
the use of the water. They had previously constructed a large irri-
gation ditch on the Kohala side and a smaller ditch, partly for irri-
gation and partly for fluming, known as the "Upper Hamakua
ditch,'* on ths other side. Dunng the last year not only were 5 miles
of an upper ditch, three-fifths of which is tunnel, and a 50,000,000-
^allon reservoir constructed on the Kohala side, but a ditch 24| miles
m length, of which 56,932 feet are tunnel, 57,934 feet open ditch, and
6,739 feet flume, was constructed for the lower lands on the Hamakua
side. This takes water from an elevation jDf 1,037 feet in the prin-
cipal branch of the Waipio Valley and from several smaller branches
lower down, brings it out of the valley at an elevation of 985 feet, and
conducts it through several sugar plantations. One of the tunnek is
the longest in the Territory, namely, 3,312 feet in length. The t\m-
nels are 6i feet wide at the bottom and the open ditch and flumes 7
feet; the sides of aU are 5 feet, and the crown of the tunnels is 7 feet
high. The ditch is lined with cement. Its capacity is 100,000,000
gfidlons daily and its cost was about $800,000.
Several other large irrigation projects are contemplated by differ-
ent companies.
INDUSTRIES.
There has been Uttle change of note during the year in the status
of the various industries — agricultural, Uve stock, fishing, and manu-
facturing— as set iforth in my last report. Progress has been gen-
eral, duo largely to the appUcation of scientific methods. The prin-
cipal industnes are naturally agricultural; manufacturing is chiefly
incidental, though important. The lines of progress in several of
these are set forth to some extent under the heading ''Federal experi-
ment station;" see also ** Bureau of agriculture and forestry."

Sugar continues king. The output for the last crop year, ending
September 30, 1909, exceeded that of any preceding year, aggregating
535,156 short tons, an increase of 14,033 tons. Tae exports for the
fiscal year 1910 were valued at $42,626,474, as compared with
$37,632,758 for the preceding jear. This industry began in 1835.
It was given its first marked mipetus by the reciprocity treaty of
1876, when the crop was about 13,000 tons, and its second by annexa-
tion in 1898, when the crop was about 229,000 tons. The crop of
1901, the firat year after the establishment or territorial government,
amoimted to 360,000 tons, while, as already stated, tnat of 1909
amounted to 535,156 tons. The crop for the season now closing is
618,127 tons, a decrease of 17,029 tons. Experiments in sugar beets
have recentlybeen made on the island of Lanai with some prospects
of success. Hitherto production has been confined to cane sugar.
During the year the planters brought in 2,651 Filipinos, consisting
of 2,441 men, 179 women, and 31 chiWren, as laborers. The percent-
age of non-Asiatic laborers continues to increase. In 1899 it was 12
per cent; in 1908. 19 per cent; on March 31, 1910, it had increased
to 24 per cent. On that date the laborers aggregated 44 J048, as fol-
lows: Americans, 614; Russians, 103; Spanish, 579; Portuguese,
3,752; Hawaiiansj 1,139; Porto Ricans, 1,941; Filipinos, 2,096; Jap-
anese, 28,832; Chmese, 2,861; Koreans, 1,787; others, 344.

The rice crop, which is the second in value, is consumed mostly in
the Territory. This, more than any other crop, would be the main-
stay in case of a siege. It is raised chiefly oy Chinese in terraces
flooded with water on the low lands, which are leased at rentals of
from $10 to $50 per acre per annum. There is probably Uttle addi-
tional available land^ for tnis crop, but much room for improvement
in methods of cultivation. These improvements are now being
made, chiefly as a result of the work of the federal experiment sta-
tion. The present jield is about 2\ tons per acre per annum (2 crops).
The milling of rice involves several processes and yields various by-
products, such as broken grain, bran, middlings, and hulls.
Coffee cultivation began as early as 1817 and has since had its ups
and downs. The better prices realized of late years have given it
somewhat of a stimulus. The crop this year promises to be 2,000
tons. The price is from 11 to 13 cents a pound. A large part of this
product is consumed in the Territory. There are probably not more
than 10,000 acres cultivated.
The pineapple industry has made the greatest progress among the
newer mdustries, the output having increased from 1,200 cases of
two dozen cans each in 1900 to 510,000 cases in 1909. It is put up
in sliced, crushed, and grated forms. There are now invested in the
industry more than $2,000,000, and about 6,000 acres are under

cultivation. During the last year there has been exported an unu-
sually large amount of the fresh fruit, about 1^600 tons, but practical^
without profit owing to imperfect marketmg arrangements. The
most marKed feature in this industry during the year was the organi-
zation of a company to put up in attractive bottles the pure juice in
mudi the same manner as grape juice.
The first extensive tapping of rubber trees for purposes other than
experimentation is expected to take place this year.
The tobacco and cotton industries are the newest among agricul-
tural industries that promise to have a large growth. The tobacco
industry is the more advanced of the two. There are now four plan-
tations on tiie island of Hawaii, two in the district of Kona, one in
Hamakua, and one in Hilo. One of these companies, the Kona
Tobacco Company (Limited), raised a crop of 35,000 pounds in 1909,
and 350 bales were shipped during the last fiscal year. This company
expects to harvest about 450 acres during this year, of which 80 per
cent will be Sumatra and the remainder Cuban leaf. About SIOO^OOO
has been invested in this industry. The compani^ purchase crojs
from small planters for curing purposes besides raising crops of tiieir
own. In the district of Kona the crop is raised between 500 feet and
2,500 feet elevation. There are about 30,000 acres suitable, at rentals
ranging from S3.50 to tS per acre, there being very Uttle land available
for purchase. The yield runs from 700 to 1,400 pounds per acre, and
under favorable conditions two crops may be raised in a year. The
quaUty is good.
The principal varieties of cotton are the Sea Island, Caravonica,
and Egyptian. The production is heavy and the quality superior.
This i^ustry is referred to more fully under the heading ''FedaFal
experiment station."
BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY.
OBNEEAI^
This bureau, being the main channel through which the territorial
S government operates in the conservation of natural resources, is the
ai^est single Deneficiary of the one-quarter of the proceeds of the
special income-tax fund created a year ago devoted to the conserva-
tion of natural resources, the other three-quarters of which are
devoted to immigration. Of the one-quarter, there has been allotted
to this bureau $3,500 a month besides amounts aggregating S23,500
for replanting portions of two tracts of land set aside as forest reserves.
There were actually expended from the conservation Quarter of this
fimd during the fiscal year $42,852.81 for the general work of this
bureau, $26,977.75 toward a topographic and $9,611.35 toward a
hydrographic survey under the department of public works, $5,899.89
in aid of the federal experiment station, $936.94 toward fencing and
planting a forest reserve, and $185.95 toward establishing a dairy,
poultry, and swine experiment station under the college of agriculture
FOBESTBY.
During the year two forest reserves, aggregating 872 acres, were
created. There are now 22 reserves, aggregating 546,636 acres, <rf
which 368,062, or 66 per cent, is public land. Lessees of public lands

adjoining reserves are usually required to construct and maintain the
necessary fences for forest protection. In one instance recently,
where there was no adjoining public land, the Territory and adjoining
owners cooperated in providSi the necessary fences. Private owners
are usually willing to fence off the portions of their lands included
within reserves.
Fencing is generally sufficient to bring about the restoration of
destroyed forests, but where planting is required, whether on or off
reserves, the functions of the oureau have hitherto consisted mainly
in the giving of advice^ the conduct and maintenance of experimental
plantations, and the distribution of seeds and seedling trees. During
the last year, however, certain advance steps were taken in two
instances. In one, the Territory planted a small reserve on the
island of Oahu at the water sources of a homestead tract. In the
other, a number of sugar plantations in the Kohala district on the
island of Hawaii imited in contributing $24,280 for the purchase of
certain land required to complete an important reserve, and the
Territory allotted J20,000 for planting portions of this reserve. A
ranch, bordering one part of the reserve, has undertaken to expend
$5,000 in planting trees in consideration of the Territory expending
an equal amount, part of the $20,000, on that part of the reserve.
During the year a bulletin of instructions was published in English
and Hawaiian in regard to planting and caring for trees. About
185,000 trees were distributed, of which about 59,000 were sold, the
remainder being distributed free — ^mostly in small lots to schools, the
armv, the navy, improvement clubs, and homesteaders. The second
Fridav of November in each year is set apart as Arbor Day; on the
last Arbor Day over 62,500 trejes were distributed, mainly to the
schools. The bureau has established two permanent substations of
distribution, one at Hilo on the island of Hawaii, and one at Kalaheo
on the island of Kauai; it established six other points of distribution
temporarily for Arbor Day purposes. Many private nurseries are
maintained, and over 500,000 trees were planted by plantations and
ranches during the year.
Experimental stations are conducted at various high altitudes for
coniferous and other trees, a portion of the expense of which is con-
tributed by the United States Forest Service, which also contributed
during the year to a special investigation of the Eucalyptus tree in this
Territory, detailing a service man for nearly half a year for this
puroose.
Much has been accomplished during the year in the collection of
an herbarium. Two timber licenses were issued by the department
of public lands. See heading *Tublic lands."
ANIMAL INDTJSTBY.
The organization and eauipment of this division of the bureau, as
Slanned several years ago, has practically been brought to completion
uring the year, so tliat now probably no State or Territory is better
Srotected than Hawaii from the introduction or spread of animal
iseases. All the larger islands now have veterinarians in the service
of this division, but paid in general by the stock raisers on the several
islands, who cooperate cordially with the bureau. A new animal
quarantine station, isolated, conveniently located, extensive, well
equipped, and arranged to meet all of the varying needs, has been
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
392 BEPOBT OF THB GOVERNOB OF HAWAII.
constructed at Honolulu. The rules and regulations of the divisbn
have been revised and a new edition published.
In general the health pf animals throughout the Territorv has been
good. Glanders continues to appear occasionally, but under present
methods probably it will be eradicated at an early date. Tubercu-
losis is now commanding chief attention. Tests show that one-tiiird
of the cattle which furnish milk for Honolulu and vicinitv are affected
with this disease. An effort is being made to remedy this condition,
and owners as a rule appear willing to make the necessarv sacrifice.
Considerable has been done in this direction on the other islands, par-
ticularly Kauai and Maui.
During the year there were imported through the ports of Honolulu
and Hilo 687 horses, 661 mules, 196 cattle, 194 sheep, 1,075 swine,
73 dogs, and 356 crates of poultry. Among these there were a number
of first-class stallions, bulls, and Merino ranas for breeding purposes.
The importations of mules have fallen off, owing to hign prices.
Mutton is still imported from Australia notwithstanding the proeress
that has been made in sheep raising. For the first tune in a long
period the Territory is practically supplying its own pork. Poultiy
and dairy products, however, are still imported in large quantities.
BNTOMOLO0Y.
The work of this division is largely that of inspection of imported
plants and fruits. During the year 191,942 parcels were inspected,
of which 1,415 were fumigated, 517 were destroyed, and 343 were
returned. Ninety-two species of insects were thus prevented from
entering the Territory. The following importations mdicate several
lines in which the Territory should more fully supply itself: 31,056
boxes of apples and 25,438 of oranges; 53,711 sacks of potatoes uid
11,857 of ©mons.
The equipment of this division was extended during the year by
the addition of a laboratory and fumitoriums at the docks in Hono-
lulu. The work of rearing and distributing beneficial insects has
been continued. In its several lines of work this division cooperates
with the corresponding divisions of the experiment stations of Uhb
sugar planters' association and the Federal Government.
FEDERAL EXPERIMENT STATION.
This station is cooperating commendably with the government and
people of the Territory. Its work is expanding and yielding increased
resmts with each succeeding year. During the last year a better
office building was erected with funds provided by the Territory; t^
old office building will be kept for chemical and pathological labora-
tories. Ten acres of new land at the station were clear^ and most
of it planted, chiefly in cotton, bananas, and papayas. Cooperative
experiments aie conducted at various places throughout the Territory.
The problem of establishing demonstration farms, especially in home-
steaa centers, has been given special attention durmg the year; the
best method for the present seems to be to subsidize the most suc-
cessful homesteader in ditferent homestead communities for the pur-
pose of enabling him to carry out the desired tests. In this way also
it will be possible to select a man of the same nationaUty as the
majority or the homesteaders in each locaUty.

In the cooperative experiments attention has been given chiefly to
legumes, cotton, and small cereals with satisfactory results.
The economy of increasing the area of forage crops seems to be
demonstrated. The cultivation of com is increasing in popularity.
This crop can be grown under a great variety of conditions, profitable
yields having been obtained as an intercrop in orchard plants where
the rainfall was over 200 inches a year; it nas yielded from 35 to 40
bushels per acre on dry ran^e lands. Pigeon peas and Jack beans
have given good results both as cover crops and as forage plants.
The conviction that a rational system of rotation is necessary is rap-
idly growing. Sugar cane, which has been the main crop, requires
less rotation than most other crops, but witJi the introduction and
increase of other crops the need of rotation is more apparent.
The experiments m cotton have resulted in the pfanting of about
500 acres, with larger plantings in prospect. Experiments in many
places demonstrate that it is not suitable for all locaUties. The low-
ering, calm, hot areas produce a rapid growth and heavy yield. In
one locfdity an acre or sea-island cotton planted in coral limestone
yielded an average of 700 bolls per plant within six months. The
heavy yield under such conditions requires the selection of a plant of
erect growth to prevent the breaking of the branches by the weight
of the cotton, oince cotton is a perennial in Hawaii, the plant must
be pinched or pruned back to prevent it from becoming too large.
The plant may be propagated oy cuttings, which, however, is not
feasible for commercial purposes except to obtain pure strains where
several varieties are grown in close proximity. By budding a field
may be worked over so as to become of an excellent and uniform
strain. Phosphates have been found particularly beneficial in
increasing the yield; in one case the yield was increased threefold by
this means.
The station has continued its work on rice. About 150 varieties
have been introduced from Japan, four of whichappear particularly
valuable. Owing to the preference of the Japanese for Japanese rice
and the consequent large importation of rice from Japan, it b desir-
able to propagate satisfactory Japanese varieties locally. It has been
found also that fertilizers should be applied to the fields before plant-
ing, and that nitrogen should be supplied in the form of ammonia
ana not in the form of nitrate, the latter being in some cases actually
harmful, while the yields may be doubled by means of the former.
The study of pineapples has continued, especially in view of their
comparative inadaptaoility to manganese soils. The best results
from fertilizers were obtained by using superphosphate combined with
ammonia sulphate and sulphate of potasn. The sugar content b not
increased after the fruit b cut as it is if left to ripen on the plant, thus
showing the desirabiUty of allowing a partial ripening m order to
secure a better flavor in the fresh fruit. It has oeen fi)und to be a
simple matter to ferment the pineapple juice into alcohol and vinegar,
about 8 per cent of alcohol being obtamed by fermentation. With
the use of cultures an excellent quality of vinegar may be made. It
b important that profitable by-products should be produced^ as
about 6,000 tons of juice are going to waste in the process of canning.
The avocado pear may be produced through cutting, budding, and
inarching, thus making it possible to produce in commercial quanti-
ties uniform fruit of good quality. Tests are also being made for the
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
394 REPOBT OP THE govehnor of hawail
production of extra late and extra early varieties. About 35 varieties
of mangoes are bein^ tested for quality on the station grounds. Both
inarching and budding give good results. The experimentation with
papaya trees has continued with satisfactory results. The object is
to obtain varieties which wiU come true to seed and produce fertile
plants and at the same time yield fruit of good quality and appearance
and that will bear shipping well.
Continued experiments on the rubber plantations show the impor-
tance of clean cultivation, this reducing the period from planting to
tapping about two years. The destruction of weeds by spraying with
chemicals has proved economical.
Experiments have shown that sweet potatoes can be raised profit-
ably lor the off season in California.
FUBMC WORKS.
GENEBAL.
The last year has been one largely of readjustment. There were
transferred from the territorial government to the counties the con-
struction and maintenance of schoolhouses, magistrates' court-houses,
jidls, and (except in Honolulu) water and sewer works, in addition
to streets, parks, and fire depa^ments previously transferred. The
Honolulu water and sewer works were put on an independent basis,
their revenues to constitute a special lund to be expended by the
superintendent of public works, with the approval of tne governor, in
the maintenance and improvement of the works and the payment of
principal and interest of so much of the bonded indebtedness as was
mcuned for these works. The departments of public works, land,
and survey were consolidated so far as that coulo be done by the ap-
pointment of the same person as head of each, with a view to greater
efiSciency and economv. In general these changes have operated well.
During the year the department has had the supervision of 16
contracts uncompleted at the befflnning of the year, a^regating
$114,109.79, upon which $108,662.79 was expended, and 30 new con-
tracts, aggregating $178,581.98, upon which $136,614.94 was ex-
pended. The largest expenditures were for waterworks and harbor
improvements. Of these contracts 35 were completed, with an
expenditure of $207,399.67, and 11 remained uncompleted, with an
expenditure of $37,868.06. Of the total amount, $245,267.73, ex-
E ended on these contracts, $10,419.40 was from land sales for
omestead roads, $74,489.57 from current revenues, and $160,358.76
from loan funds. The amount expended from loan funds for ptiUic
works, whether or not under contracts, was $191,699.82.
Since April 1, 1900, $3,536,572.77 has been expended as follows on
public improvements out of loan funds, besides much out of current
receipts:

BEPORT OF THE GOVERNOE OF HAWAII. ^95
The department of public works covers a wide range of subjects, of
which the following were among the more important during the last
year:
WHABVES AND HABBOB8.
This subject is considered also under the heading *' Harbors and
light-houses." Among other things a large two-storv shed, with
offices for various purposes, on the Alakea street wharf at Honolulu
was completed, and is now used by the trans-Pacific steamers. Plans
have been prepared for the construction of another long wharf on
the opoosite side of one of the slips from this wharf.
On the island of Maui two licenses were issued for the construction
of wharves at the principal port, Kahului, one for interisland steam-
ers and one for larger steamers. The smaller of these wharves
has been constructed and is now in use. In connection with thfese
licenses arrangements were made to secure the necessary rights of
way and other rights to make the water front fully available for public
use, the land at this port having been in private ownership. This
was necessary, not only for public convenience, but to warrant further
imnrovement of the harbor by conOTCssional appropriations.
On the island of Hawaii a new wharf was constructed at Honuapo,
the chief port on the southeasterly side of the island, on an exposed
coast of lava rock. It was made with soUd 5-inch steel piling sunk
into holes drilled into the rock bottom, which at the end of the wharf
was 24 feet deep. Since the close of the vear a license has been issued
for the construction of a wharf at Hilo oi sufficient size for all vessels.
A commission appointed for the purpose has made a thorough
investigation of the wharves and landings privately owned or oper-
ated in the Territory and has recently filed its report, which will be
laid before the next legislature.
HONOLULU WATEB AND SEWEB WOBKS.
As already stated, these works outside of Honolulu have been
transferred to the counties, and those in Honolulu have been put on
an independent basis.
A reservoir with a capacity of about 700,000,000 gallons was com-
pleted, at an elevation of about 1,000 feet in Nuuanu Valley back of
Honolulu, at a cost of about $300,000. The dam is 70 feet high,
2,497 feet long on the crest, 336 feet wide at tlie bottom, and contains
an aggregate of 279,340 cubic yards of earth and rock, besides con-
crete and riprap. A^s a result mainly of the construction of this res-
ervoir, the city this year for the first time in many years has not been
limited in its use of water for irrigation purposes.
Besides increasing the supply available in dry seasons, much has
been done through mstallation of meters, and in other ways for the
prevention of waste. The consumption of the city averaged about
12,000,000 gallons daily, a decrease of about 1,000,000 gallons from
that of the previous year, notwithstanding an increase in the number
of consumers. The rate averages about 7^ cents a thousand gallons,
although it is not estimated on that basis.
Two artesian wells were sunk, a high lift pump was installed, and
the construction of a concrete reservoir of 750,000 gallons capacity
was begun.

There are 75.76 miles of pipe line in the Honolulu system, of which
2.59 miles were added dunng the year. In the sewer system there
are 42.92 miles of pipe, of which 2,608 feet were added dunng the year.
The number of gallons of sewage pumped daily has increased from
about three and one-half miUion gallons in 1903 to more than seven
million in 1910.
Special attention has been given to the collection of back rates as
part of a general plan to bring the work of all departments up to date.
The receipts were $184,277.14, of which $127,736.03 was expended
for maintenance and improvements, $37,951.72 in interest on bonds,
and $18,427.70 for redemption of bonds, a total of $184,115.45.
XTTLA PIPB LINS.
This has been nearly completed and wiU cost about $100,000. It
will be 22 miles in length, beginning at an elevation of 4,500 feet and
ending at an elevation of 1,900 feet. The first 4 miles will be of
12-incn wooden stave pipe to a pK)int at which it is planned to con-
struct a reservoir in the near future, and from that point the metal
pipe will begin with a diamet^ of 6 inches and end witn one of an inch
and a half. This pipe line is expected to supply water, chiefly for
domestic and Uve stock uses of homesteaders, over a large area. It
was difficult to construct owing to the roughness of the country.
TOPOOBAPHIO AND HYDBOOBAPHIO STTBTT^YS.
These surveys were begun by the Territory in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey, the former fumishmg the funds and
the latter the men. Earlv in the year Mr. M. O. Leighton, chief
hydrographer, Mr. W. C. Mendenhall, in charge of underground water
investigations, and Mr. R. D. Marshall, chief topographer, made gen-
eral studies of the principal islands and outlined the proposed work.
The work of the hydrogjraphic survey has consisted chiefly in the col-
lection of data, acquisition of the necessary instruments, and the
estabUshment and maintenance of stream gauges and rain and evapo-
ration stations, principally on the island of Kayai, but to some extent
on the islands or Oahu and Maui.
In connection with this, full data have been collected and a careful
study made of the artesian wells, especially on the island of Oahu,
which depends very largelv upon tms source for its water supply.
The first of these wells was bored in 1879. During the next ten years
100 were bored, and during the last twenty years 330 have been tiored,
making a total of 430, a few of which are dead, while the others deUver
from 10,000 to 3,000,000 gallons daily. They are suppUed chiefly by
the heavy rainfall upon a comparatively small area along the hiah^
portions of the Kooiau range of mountains, a large portion of which
rainfall, however, flows quickly down the steep snort slopes into
the sea. There are various basins in which the water rises to different
levels, the highest level being about 42 feet. With the increase of
wells the tendency naturally is toward a decrease in the height of the
flow. It is important to have full and accurate information in order
that the necessary action may be taken by legislation or otherwise to
prevent excessive use or waste.
Tlie island of Kauai was selected for the first work in both the hy-

and large areas of arable public land. The topographic field work on
this island will soon be completed, and it is hoped tnat the maps will
be completed a few months later. The scale will be 2 inches to a mile
and the contour intervals will be 10 feet on the lower areas and 50 feet
in the mountainous area. These surveys cost during the fiscal year
$36,589.10, a much larger sum than was anticipated, but it included
much for equipment and preliminary work which will not have to be
repeated, and now arrangements have been made under authority
of a recent act of Congress for allotments toward this work out of
appropriations for the United States Geological Survey.
SCHOOLS.
All public schools are under a territorial department of public in-
struction consisting of a superintendent and six commissioners
appointed by the governor from the four principal islands. The
functions of the local or county governments in regard to schools is
confined to the construction of school buildings and maintenance
of buildings and grounds, and these functions were transferred to the
counties only a year ago. Private schools are required to obtain
permits from the department and are to a limited extent subiect to
its supervision. PubUc school sessions are from 9 to 2 o'cIock, five
days a week, three terms a year, covering ten months.
until a year ago there were several traveling normal inspectors,
but all but one of these were cut out by the last legislature. To make
up the deficiency the department appointed a supervising principd
for a number of the lower-grade schools. It is planned for the com-
ing year to divide the Territory into districts, each containing one
higher-grade school and a number of lower-grade schools, and to have
the principal of the higher-grade school act as a supervising principal
of tne other schools in his district.
A summer school for teachers has been held since the close of the
fiscal year with regular instruction and special lectures.
The maintenance of the pubUc schools has been so expensive that
it has been impossible to secure adequate funds for some years past
to keep pace with the increasing school population, but during the
last year a special commission appointed for the purpose has made a
careful study of the matter and will soon present its report. During
the ten years of territorial government about three-quarters 6f a
million dollars have been expended for new pubUc school buildings,
and the average annual cost of maintenance of the public school
system, exclusive of new buildings, has been nearly $400,000. The
cost of maintenance per pupil has varied from about $20 to about
$30 per annum. Nevertheless, the percentage of children of school
age who are enrolled is higher than it is in many other places and the
percentage of actual attendance is remarkably large.
A nunaber of the private schools are of large size, well endowed,
and well equipped, some of them having been founded from a half to
three-quarters of a century ago.
The enrollment in all schools is 25,537, an increase of 648 for
the year; in public schools, 19,909, an increase of 402; in private
schools, 5,628, an increase of 246. The teachers number 486 in the
public schools, a decrease of 7; and 266 in private schools, a de-
crease of 3. The number of puoUc schools is 152, a decrease of 1;
of private schools 55, a decrease of 1. During the ten years of terri-

tonal government the number of pupils in both pubUc and private
schools has increased from 15,537 to 25,537, or just 10,000. TTie
largest increase during the last year in all schools, 663, is in Japane^^
pupils. This has been so for some years past. The pupils of this
race have increased during the last ten years from 1,352 to 7,078.
They now comprise 27.72 per cent of the pupils; the Portuguese fol-
low with 18.25 per cent; then come the Hawaiians with 17.15, part
Hawaiians with 15.05 per cent, the Chinese with 11.18 per cent, and
all others with 10.65 per cent.
Industrial training forms an important part of the instruction
in the pubUc schools. This embraces agriculture, woodwork,
printing, and domestic science. Agricultural work includes the
maintenance of flower and vegetable gardens and tree planting, es-
pecially on arbor day, besides keeping the school grounds in order
Pupils to the number of 9,309, in 125 schools, have been engaged in
systematic gardening. Two of the schools, including a reformatory
school, have raised sugar cane on a commercial basis, the next crop
at one of these schools oeine expected to yield over $5,000. Twenty-
one schools are equipped for carpenter work, and 7,575 pupils en-
gaged in that work during the year. Seven schools are equipped for
prmting and do regular printing on school work, publishing a young
people's paper and many other things. Domestic science includes
cooking, sewing, lace making, and weaving. Twelve schools have
cooking departments. In sewing, 8,500 pupils have been engaged;
nearly all tne public schools teach plain sewing to both boys and
girls of the primary grades, while the higher forms of work, such as
cutting and fitting of garments, are taught only to the girls of the
higher grades. Twenty-one schools give instruction in lace making.
Five-hundred and seventeen pupils have done weaving with graas,
bamboo, and hala leaves.

OOLLEaS OF AamCXJLTITBB AND MEOHANIO ABTS.
This college has made rapid pro<^ress during the little more than
two years of its existence, it is still in its temporary quarters, where
it 19 housed in three buildings. During the last year much has bc^en
accomplished as follows:
Two additional tracts of land <rf 23.01 and 16.90 acres, respectively,
were acquired by purchase for the permanent site. One tract of
15.87 acres had been purchased previously, and the Territory owned
another tract of 30.60 acres at the outset. The total area as origi-
nally planned, comprising 86.38 acres, valued at over $100,000, has
now been secured in one block. It is favorably located in the suburbs
of Honolulu and is bounded on one side by a stream which will prove
valuable for various purposes.
The engineering laboratory was completed and equipped with
machinery and tools for wood and metal technology and the testing
of construction materials.
An observatory was constructed and a telescope and other ihstru-
ments mounted on a hill about 2 miles distant from the site of the
college.
A department of dairy, poultry, and swine husbandry was estab-
lished and work was begun on the necessary buildings.

BSPOBT OF THE GOVERNOB OF HAWAII. 401
Sixty-four students attended the college during the year, of whom
13 were in re^ar courses leading to degrees, as compared with 5 dur-
injg the previous year, and 51 were in snecial courses, as compared
with 31 during the previous year. Movable schools were conducted
at Hilo and Wailuku on the islands of Hawaii and Maui, and a plan
has been prepared for correspondence study during the coming year.
UBRART OP HAWAn.
Arrangements were completed during the year for the establish-
ment and maintenance of a territori^ Ubrary. A site has been
selected upon land already belonging to the Territory in what might
be called the civic center of Honolulu, and Mr. Andrew Carnegie has
undertaken to ^ve $100,000 for the building. The legislature has
provided for maintenance to the amount of $10,000 a year. Agree-
ments have been made by which the library of tne Honolulu Library
and Reading Rooms Association, containing 17,000 volumes, and the
valuable Ubrary of the Hawaiian Historical Society, containing about
1,700 volumes and 2,700 pamphlets, will be incorporated in the
Library of Hawaii, and by whichj also, the income of the Honolulu
Library and Reading Rooms Association, which will probably amount
to from $5,000 to $7,000 a year, will be applied toward the main-
tenance of the new library, thus assuring the ubrary of a total income
of upward of $15,000 a year.
THE COURTS.
TBBBITOBIAL OOT7BT8.
These courts are up to date in their work. Congress has recently
amended the organic act so as to carry out the three recommenda-
tions made in my last report in regard to the courts. The salaries
of the supreme and circuit court judges have been increased; to the
causes or disqualification of judges enumerated in the organic act
there was adaed that of having been of counsel, and the territorial
l^islature was authorized to add other causes; the naturalizations
made by the circuit courts before their jurisdiction to naturalize was
made clear by the act of 1907 were confirmed.
The statistics given below are for the nine complete calendar years
under territorial government, omitting the last half of 1900 and the
first half of 1910. The number of criminal cases (9,462) in all courts
in 1909 was larger by 1,238 than the number in 1908, and the number
of convictions was larger by 1,180, the percentage of convictions
being 79 as compared with 76 for the preceding year and an average
of 72 for the nine years. The number of civil cases in all courts
was 2,634, a decrease of 36 from the number in the preceding year
and of 174 from the average for the nine years.
8UPBBME 0OT7BT.
Mr. Justice John T. De Bolt was appointed to succeed Mr. Justice
Arthur A. Wilder, resigned. In this court the number of cases (91)
in 1909 was less by 2 than in 1908 and less than in any preceding
year under territorial government, the average for the mne years
having been 117 per year.

Judge Henry E. Cooper was appointed first judge of the first circuit
court to succeed Judge John T. De Bolt, promoted to the supreme
court. In the five circuits (seven judges) the number of civil eases
(826) in 1909 was less by 185 than in 1908 and less by 150 than the
average for the nine years. The criminal cases (408) were greater
by 77 than in 1908 and less by 67 than the average for the nine years.
Tne percentage of convictions in criminal cases was 41 as compared
with 56 for tne preceding year and an average of 48 for the nine
years. Divorce cases were numerous, as was the case during the
preceding two years, the numbers having been 304 in 1907, 296 in
1908, and 257 in 1909 as compared with an average of 165 for the nine
years, the numbers having varied from 71 to 128 during the first
six years.

In the 29 district courts the number of civil cases (1,718) in 1909
was larger bv 151 than in 1908, while the number of criminal cases
(8,766) was larger by 1,161. The percentage of convictions was 80
as compared with 77 for the preceding year, and an average of 74

BEPOBT OF THB GOVEENOB OF HAWAII.
JTTTBNILE OOTJBT8.
During the last seven years each succeeding legislature has enacted
more advanced laws in regard to delincjuent and dependent juveniles.
At present jurisdiction over juveniles is confined chiefly to the circuit
courts and ia exercised principally by the first circuit court, one of
whose judges is assigned for tms work; the jurisdiction extends
to both delinquents and dependents under 18 years of age; the pro-
ceedings are noncriminal in character; the evidence taken in such
cases can not be used against the children in other proceedings;
the juveniles are kept separate from older offenders; parents are
held to greater responsibility; parents or children are siunmoned as a
rule without arrest, and provision is made as far as practicable for
investigation before summons; children may be enlarged on pro-
bation or committed to an industrial school; dependents may be
committed to suitable persons or private institutions.
In the principal juvenile coiut, that at Honolulu, the number of
cases during the last fiscal year was 329, which is far larger than for
any previous year. These included 291 boys and 38 girfa, of whom
190 were Hawaiians, 84 Portuguese, 18 Chmese, 2 Japanese, and 35
others. Of these, 165 served a period of probation and were dis-
charged; 68 were committed to industrial schools; 60 were repri-
manded and discharged; 24 were surrendered by the probation
officers; in 3 cases sentences were suspended; 4 cases were referred
to the district ma^trate; and 5 cases remained pending. Twenty-
nine dependent children came before the court, of whom 16 were
boys and 13 girls. There were 23 Hawaiians, 2 JPortuguese, 2 Span-
ish, and 2 others. Of these, 19 were conmiitted to private homes
and 10 to institutions.

LAND BEaiSTBATION COTJBT.
The jurisdiction of this court is exercised by one of the jud^
of the first circuit court, who is assigned for the purpose. Dunng
the last fiscal year 22 applications were filed, and 13 decrees were
issued covering an area oi 63,316 acres, the assessed value of which
was $560,660.
From the date of the organization of the court, October 13, 1903,
to June 30, 1910, 185 appRcations were filed, of which 19 were still

pending; the aggregate area of the lands whose titles have been
registered is 72,357.586 acres; their assessed value is $1,729,722.
Fees have been collected to the amount of $4,292.49; and the amount
collected for the assurance firnd is $1,170.29.
FEDERAL COT7BT.
This is a United States district coiuii, with the jurisdiction also of a
United States circuit coiut, and has two district judges, an addi-
tional judge having been provided for by Congress a year ago, at
which time also the salaries of the judges were mcreased. Recently
Confess has raised the salaries of the United States district attorney
and United States marshal.
The civil cases brought in this court during the last fiscal year
numbered 25, consisting of 3 admiralty, 14 bankruptcy, 3 United
States civil, one other civil, and 4 habeas corpus cases, as compared
with 33 for the previous year, consisting of 3 admiralty, 21 bank-
ruptcy, 5 United States civil, 2 other civil, and 2 habeas corpus cases.
The criminal cases brought during the last fiscal jear numbered
111, accounted for as follows: Convictions, 42; acquittals, 13; nolle
prossed, 13; pending, 43; as compared with 114 durmgthe preceding
year, accoimted for as follows: Convictions. 29; acquittals, 6; nolle,
prossed, 20; pending, 59. The cases were oi great variety.
At the close of the fiscal year there were pending in this court 110
cases, namely, 7 admiridty, 40 banlcruptcy^ 8 Umted States civil, 3
other civil, 1 habeas corpus, and 61 criminal. There are pending
also 3 cases on appeal from this court, namely, 1 admiralty and 2
criminal.
ATTORNEY-GENERAIi'S DEPARTMENT.
The work of this departmerft has been mainly advisory and the
preparation of legal documents. Since the organization of county
governments several years ago the criminal work has been gradually
turned over to the county attorneys until now very little remains.
The department still attends to the civil work of the Territory.
There is now only one case pending in the Supreme Court of the
United States. In the supreme court of the Territory the depart-
ment app>eared in 16 cases during the year, of which 15 have peen
decided, in 12 of which the Territory's contentions were sustained.
In' the circuit courts the department appeared in 166 cases; in the
district courts, in more than 300 cases. In the United States dis-
trict court it appeared in 3 cases. Special effort has been made dur-
ing the year to orin^ government collections up to date and settle.
auestions in which the Territory wes interested, as, for instance, by
iie collection of back rents, taxes, water and sewer rates, and tlie
settlement of numerous cases of disputed land titles.
TERRITORIAIi PRISON.
A jear ago the jails were transferred to the counties, leaving to the
Territory only Oanu Prison, which is the territorial penitentiary for
felons. The high sheriff of the Territory is its warden.
At this prison there were received during the year 141 felons and
discharged 100,. leaving at the close of thiB year 212 as compared

with 171 at the close of the previous year. Besides these, 5 misde-
meanant were received, of whom 4 were discharged, leaving 1 at
tike close of the year; and 250 committed persons were received, of
whom all but 12 were discharged, leaving at the close of the year a
total of 225 felons, misdemeanants, and committed persons. Of
these, 66 were Japanese males and 2 Japanese females, 39 Hawaiian
males and 1 Hawaiian female, 37 Chinese males, 19 Korean males
and I Korean female, and 60 males of other nationalities: 185 vrere
territorial prisoners and 40 were federal. The total number varied
from 185 to 270 during the year and averaged 215. Two were
executed, 1 died, 6 were pardoned, and 2 were paroled.
The cost of maintenance, including support of prisoners and pay
of guards, was $39,284.04. or 49.8 cents per prisoner per dav, an
increase or 3.8 cents over tne cost for the previous year, which, now-
ever, was 1.3 cents less than the cost for the year before that. The
receipts for support of United States prisoners amounted to $8,1 56,
whicn was greater by $2,920.50 than for the preceding year.
The prisoners peitormed work as follows: 20,653 days on roads,
bridges, and parks; 14,392 days as male servants and manufacturers
at the prison; 2,156 days as poUce station servants; 1^225 days as
female manufacturers of hats and clothing at the prison; besides
7,877 days on the construction of a scenic road at the volcano.
PUBLIC HEAIiTH.
GBNE&AL.
At the beginning of the fiscal year there were transferred from the
Territory to the counties the inspection of fish, meat, and cattle in
cooperation with the territorial Dureau of agriculture and forestij;
dairies in cooperation with the federal and territorial food commis-
sioner and analyst; buildings, plumbing, house sewers, the licensing
of restaurants and laundries su Dject to tne approval of the territoHu
board of health as to suitability of locality, and the maintenance of
hospitals. The Territory, through its 24 physicians in the several
districts and its appropriations for medical services and supplies,
continues to provide the necessary dispensary and home treatment
for the indigent sick. A fine children's hospital was completed and
opened during the year in Honolulu. This was constructed and
endowed through pnvate contributions and is governed by a board
of trustees. A number of general hospitals are governed similarly.
Special attention has been given durmg the year to the territorial
department of public health with a view to better organization and
the enlargement and increased effectiveness of its work. The activi-
ties of tiie board are indicated in kind and extent by the foUowing
appropriations for the present biennial fiscal period: Treatmentol
indigent sick, $37,360; quarantine, fumigation, disinfection, sup-
!)ression of contagious diseases and samtation, $71,230; tubercu-
osis, $18,000; treatment of incurables, $15,000; pure food, $3,000;
vaccination suppUes, $2,750; insane asylum, $76,560; care, treat-
ment, and segregation of lepers, $456,975; office expenses, $28,360;
making a total of $709,235.
A marked result of tne work of the board during the year has been
the effective interest awakened throughout the Territory for better
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOET OF THE GOVEBNOB OF HAWAII. 407
sanitation and the prevention of contagious and infectious diseases.
This has led to mucn cooperation in service and pecuniary assistance.
For the mosquito campaign $1^000 a month is contributed through
the Shippers Wharf Committee of Honolulu and $750 a month
through a similar committee at Hilo; many individuals and cor-
porations are contributing in other ways; a number of sugar plantar
lions have devoted large sums of money and done much work for
the better sanitation of laborers' quarters.
SANITATION.
This wo]*k has been reorganized and greatly extended throughout
the Territory and especiaSy in Honolulu, where there are eight
inspectors for sanitation, fuim^ation, and disinfection, wd eleven
mosquito inspectors who inciaentally do much sanitation work.
For this work the city has been districted and maps have been pre-
pared showing every house, stream, rice or taro patch, pool, etc.,
and names or owners and occupants; during the year the sani-
tarv inspectors made 198,295 inspections, and among other things
looked after the installation of sanitary fixtures in 3,761 cases,
abolished fixtures in 3,770 cases, and abated 19,187 nuisances; the
mosquito inspectors have made 88,189 iospections since February,
when they began work. Particular attention has been given also
to sanitation in the districts of Puna, Hilo, Hamakua, and North and
South Eohala, on the island of Hawaii.
VITAL STATISTICS.
General health conditions have been good, although there was a
smaU epidemic of enteric fever in Eona on the island of Hawaii and
an epidemic of diphtheria among Bussian immigrants, a number of
sporadic cases of plague on the island of Hawaii, and a marked
increase in the number of deaths in Honolulu from pneumonia,
namely, 137 as compared with 71 during the previous year. The
number of deaths from pneumonia for the entire Territory was 306
and from tuberculosis 325, while from plague there were 12 deaths
out of 14 cases. Pneumonia has not been a common disease in the
Territory, and its large increase during the year ia under sjpecial
investigation. Of the plague cases three were found among the
Russian immigrants, who became infected before arrival, and the
remainder were in tne districts of Puna, Hilo, and Hamakua on the
island of Hawaii.
The total number of deaths from all causes, including 173 from
accidents, homicide, suicide, and legal executions, numbered 2,912^
an increase of 61 over the number tor the previous year, making a
death rate of 14.42 per 1,000, estimating the population at 190,000 and
excluding the 173 deaths above mentionea. The births numbered
4,302, a decrease of 600, making the rate 22.6 per 1^000. Notwith-
standing the increase in deaths and decrease in births, the latter
exceeded the former by 47 per cent. There were 1,959 marriages,
an increase of 311.

TUBBBCULOSIS.
Organized antituberculosis work was instituted during the rear.
This work is conducted not alone by the board of health, but also by or
in cooperation with the several county governments ana manr private
organizations and individuals. It has naturally been carried farthest
in Honolulu where the need is greatest and where a number of organi-
zations of various kinds and individuals have combined to conduct
a campaign against this disease through a social settlement organi-
zation known as the '*Palama Settlement." A day camp, pure-milk
depots, and other institutions are maintained, and district nurses are
employed. The Territory subsidizes a hospital devoted largely to
consumptives. It also maintains a system of inspection for the dis-
covery and treatment of cases and for disinfection^ and keeps full
records of patients and the places where they have hved. The cam-
Eaign is making progress on the other islands. The county of Maui
as established a sanatorium in a peculiarly suitable locality and has
already completed four of its buildings. The Territory assists this
financially^ and contributions have been received for it from private
sources.
IiBPBOSY.
The new hospital and laboratory buildings at the Ealihi receiving
station in the suburbs of Honolulu have nearly been completed.
The erection of these was in pursuance of the new poUcy inaugurated
a year ago in regard to the treatment of this subject. This poUcy is
yielding satisfactory results. Persons are more willing to present
themselves for examination, so much so that during the last year 60
lepers were received as compared with 11 for the preceding year.
At the close of the year there were under segregation 652 lepers,
including 7 who were transferred to the United States Leprosy Inves-
tigation Station, as coxnpared with 742 at the close of the preceding
year, a decrease of 90. Of these, 621 are at the settlement on Molokai
and 31 at the Kalihi receiving station. Ninety-three died during
the year and 67 were discharged as cured. There were also 35 officials
and assistants, 54 helpers, and 17 children at the settlement, and 4
officials and assistants at the receiving station. At the home, in
Honolulu, for nonleprous girls of leprous parents there were 42 chil-
dren and 5 officials and at a similar nome tor boys there were 29 boys
and 5 officials; during the year 10 girls and 15 boys were discharged.
UNITED STATES LEPROSY INVESTIGATION.
This has been conducted chiefly in cooperation with the territorial
board of health at the latter's leprosy hospital and receiving station
at Kalihi in the suburbs of Honolulu, where a laboratory nas be^i
provided for the purpose by the board of health and a dispensary is
maintained for experimental treatment of patients provided by the
board. During the year the large station at Kalawao, one c^ the
two villa^ at the leper settlement on the island of Molokai, was
completed and a part of the laboratory force transferred to it. At
that station a laboratory is maintained, and also a hospital for treat-
ment of patients provicfod hy the territorial board of health.
During the vear four bulletins were published — on a statistical study
of leprosy in Hawaii, the use of nastin in the treatment of the disease,
the use of acetone as a palliative remedy in nasal lesions, and on nasal

secretions as a means of early dia^osis; data also were prepared for
the report of the United States Public Health and Marme-Hospital
Service presented at the international congress on leprosy held in
Norway.
Studies have been made on the subject of the transmission of the
disease, demonstrating that the mosqmto plays no part in this matter,
but that, under certam conditions, the house fly and certain other
flies can and do convey the bacillus in large numbers. It appears
also that the liability of children of lepers to contract the disease
varies directly with the length of time that thev are allowed to
remain with their parents; in other words^ that tne diset^se is con-
tracted only by exposure and that heredity is not a factor in its
spread: also that in practice it is more effective to secure the sub-
stantial segregation of a large percentage of lepers than the absolute
segregation of a smaller number. In this connection nearly -all recent
articles, numbering several hundred, upon the subject of transmission
have been reviewed in original or abstract and histories of local cases
have been collected.
Studies in treatment show that of the remedies experimented with
two are of value, namely, chaulmoogra oil and a vaccine prepared
from the cultivation of six varieties of bacteria of the same natural
group as the bacillus of leprosy. The success of the latter seems
to indicate that if a vaccine could be prepared from the bacillus of
leprosy it would be of great value. Until recently it has been found

UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH AND MARINE-
HOSPITAL SBRYICE.
The operations of this service cover quarantine, plague-preventive
measures, marine-hospital work, immigration inspection, and leprosy
investigation, the last being conducted independently of the others.
Besides the first-class quarantine and disinfecting station at Hono-
lulu, which has a wharf that can accommodate the largest vessels and
quarantine accommodations for 675 passengers and tent platforms
for 1,280 additional persons, there are substations at 7 suoports of
entry. The station at Honolulu is greatly in need of a new water
and a new sewerage system, which will probably be provided in the
near future. During the past year much has been accompUshed in
grading, planting, installing an electric-Ught plant, constructing a
road to Quarantine Island, and in other wajrs.
The work of this service in this Territory is of the highest impor*
tance in view of the position of Hawaii at the intersection of trans-
Pacific steamship lines. Hawaii serves as a buffer for the Pacific
coast against diseases from the Orient.^ In respect to these diseases,
conditions have changed considerably in the last year or two. owing
to the substitution, in large measure, of Filipino for oriental immi-
gration. The Filipinos are afiUcted to a larger extent with skin and
venereal diseases, and the darkness of their skins makes more difficult
the detection of certain diseases in their earUer stages. Care must
be taken also to prevent the introduction of amcpbic dvsentery,
which prevails in tne Phihppines. The danger of Hawaii becoming

a new center of yellow fever and of malaria by the introduction of
infected mosquitoes from Mexican and Central American ports also
presents a senous problem, especially now that steamers are coming
directly from those ports and will probably come in greater numbers
in the future. The yellow-fever mosc|[uito is here, but has never
become infected. The malarial mos(}uito has not been introduced.
The work of the service in these islands has increased in several
directions. During the last year it has included, among other things,
the inspection of 592 vessels and disinfection of 65, of which 10 were
actudly infected or had recently been infected; inspection of 75,735
passengers and 63,842 members of crews and 5,2(M immigrants, of
which 105 were rejected. During the year no outgoing quaruitine
has been established for Honolulu, but one was established for neariy
two months for Hilo on account of a few cases of plague at that port
and in a neighboring district.
The service has continued to cooperate with the territorial board
of health in the suppression and prevention of plague, and especially
in the destruction and examination of rats. During the year 32,116
rats and mongoose were received at the laboratory of the service,
and of these over three-fourths were examined bacteriologically.
At the request of the territorial government a large number of
Russian immigrants were quarantined at the station tor more than
a month, chiefly because of diphtheria. This was practically a
matter of necessity because of the facilities of tiie station for handling
large numbers, and at the same time was a great saving in expense.
NATIONAL GUARD OF HAWAH.
There are nine companies of infantrv, one hospital company, and
a band. No new companies were added during the year. Consid-
erable was done, however, -toward increasing wie .emciency of tiie
force. A grading of nonconmiissioned officers was made by an
inspectiog officer detailed for the purpose by the commanding officer
of Fort iSiafter. A school for officers in map reading was held pre-
Saratorv to an encampment of the officers for instruction by officers
etailea by the War Department. Instruction has been given to
the companies by a noncommissioned officer detailed by ^e War
Department.
A military hospital was maintained for a month on the United
States quarantine island, to guard and care for over 800 Russian
immigrants, who were in quarantine for diphtheria.
In the national match at Camp Perry. Ohio, in August, 1909, the
team from the national guard of this Territory won twenty-fourth
place with a score of 3^520, among 48 competing teams. This is an
advance from twenty-sixth place among 50 teams in 1908, and thirty-
fourth place among 48 teams in 1907. Since the close of the fiscal
year the team has participated in another national match, in which
it won twenty-second place with a score of 2,945, the score of the
winning team being 3,186. A smaller team won sixth place in the
National Rifle Association match.
The greatest need of the territorial national guard is an armory
at Honolulu. This probably can not be obtained until the restoration
by the Federal Government to the territorial government of the
so-called "barracks lot,*' which was taken over for military pur-
poses by the Federal Government soon after annexation. It is hoped
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
BEPOBT OF THE GOVEBNOB OP HAWAH. 411
that this will be restored during the present yeax, in which case an
adequate appropriation for an armory may be expected from the
territorial legislature.
A military census of the Territory was taken at the same time as
the general census by the Federal Census Bureau at the request of the
governor. This is intended to show the a^e, race, previous military
or naval experience, etc., of all males of military age. The tabulation
of the returns is not yet completed.
UNITED STATES MILITARY AND NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Good progress was made during the year in the construction of
military defenses on the island of Oahu. A mortar battery was com-
pleted and two companies of coast artillery arrived early m the fiscal
{rear to take charge of it. Other batteries, including several for
arge disappearing rifles, are approaching completion and the arma-
ments of some of them have teen mounted. The first two search-
lights have arrived and have been mounted. A military survey of
the island by the officers and soldiers of an engineer company is nearly
finished, oince the close of the fiscal year this Territory has been
made a military district under the department of California.
At Pearl Harbor the widening, deepening, and straightening of the
long entrance channel has proceeded rapiflv, and Congress has pro-
vided for the continuation of the work. Of the amount, $3,296,000.
required, $2,500,000 has been appropriated. More than one-third or
the dredging has been completed and the channel will probably be
open for navigation by the end of 1911. Much work has been done
also toward the construction of the dry dock, an increase in the size
of which as originally planned was recently authorized by Congress.
The contract cost of the dock is $2,304,000, of which $1,500,000 has
been appropriated.
Besides tne army engineers and coast artillery above mentioned,
detachments of cavaliy, infantry, and marines are stationed at
various posts.
Army transports call regularly on their voyages to and from the
Philippines, and not only many American naval vessels, but also
British, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Japanese
naval vessels have called at Honolulu during the year.
UNITED STATES INTERNAL- REVENUE SERVICE.
The receipts for the year were $209J^32.61, an increase of $130,024.52
over those of the previous year. The large increase is due to the
federal corporation tax, which amounted to $124,201.18. Exclusive
of this tax the increase was $5,823.34.
The entire amount received during the ten complete fiscal years
since the organization of territorial government is $737,465.18, and
the disbursements, including salaries and incidental expenses, have
been $115,783.41, leaving net collections of $621,681.77. During the
half montn between the organization of territorial government and
the beginning of the first complete fiscal year the collections amounted
to $7,454.30.
The production of wine has doubled diuing the last two years.
The witndrawal of spirits from bcmd, tax paid, for locitl consuinption^
has materially increased during the same time.

There are 155 rainfall and 52 temperatm^ stations from whidi the
data are published monthly, 6 of the former and 1 of the latter
having been established, and 2 of the former and 1 of the latter having
been discontinued, during the year. The ocean meteorological wore
has been extended. Thermometers and barometers are compu^.
Daily, • weekly, and monthly reports are issued. The recoros are
frequently consulted by plantation interests, hydrographic engineers,
lawers, physicians, and others.
The only consiaerable loss due to weather conditions was in
Waipio Valley on the island of Hawaii, where rice fields were damaged
by flood waters due to a so-called cloud-burst.

Digitized by VjOOQ IC
REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO.
ExEounvB Office,
Santa Fe, N. Mex., Septemher 16, 1910.
Sm: I have the honor to submit herewith mjr annual report on
conditions in the Territory of New Mexico dining the fiscal yeai
ended June 30, 1910.
Conditions as a whole in the Territory have been about the same
as diuring the previous year.
No new railways were constructed in the Territory during the past
twelve months.
The work of building dams for the impounding of flood waters and
irrigation canals for carrying the waters so impounded on lands to be
cultivated has been actively prosecuted in several parts of the Ter-
ritory. Irr^ation systems are rapidly bein^ extended, enlarged, and
improved, and much water is bein^ pumpea from wells near Deming
and Portales which is used for urination purposes. At Portales
about 70 wells are being pumped with power supplied by electricity
generated by a central plant. The attempt is also being made to
supply water to the rich Estancia Valley from wells, the power with
which the pumps are to be operated to be suppUed bjr a central
electrical station. This last project has not as yet sufficiently de-
veloped to determine whether or not it will be a success.
The project for the construction of the Elephant Butte dam, which
is to be built by the National Government m the lower Rio Grande
Valley, has made substantial progress dining the last year, not in
actual work on the dam, but in the preparatory work. The owners
of certain lands which will be submerged by the waters impounded
by the dam declined to accept the oner made by the Government
for it, and resort had to be had to the courts, when the necessary
land was condemned and about $200,000 was paid into court to meet
the award made by the appraisers. The necessary work preliminary
to the building of the dam is now being actively prosecuted, and it is
expected that everything will be in readiness to oegin the construc-
tion of the dam across the Rio Grande during the early part of the
year 1911, when no water is flowing in the river. When completed,
this project will greatly increase the population of the Territory.
Large irrigation works are now under construction in Colfax, San
Miguel, San Juan, and Guadalupe counties, while smaller enterprises
are being undertaken in nearly every county in the Territory.
During the year only about 20^000 acres have been set aside under
the so-called Carey Act. Individuals and corporations have made
appHcations for lands under this act, but as yet these appHcations have
not been granted by the Carey Act land board.

420 EBPOBT OP GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO.
Business in general in the Territoiy during the last year has been
rather dull. During Jvdy, August, and September of last year
business was exceedmgly good, but in common with most of the
coimtry after that time it quieted down and probably will not resimie
its activity until business conditions change in the coimtry at lar^.
No banks or large mercantile establishments have failed since Uie
last report of the governor was made. No banks have discontinued
business during the year, while on the other hand 6 banks have been
established. Three small territorial banks are in process of liquida-
tion.
Operations in all of the coal camps have been actively pushed dur-
ing the year. New Mexico has the largest coal measures of any State
or Territory in the Union, and our prcKluction will be expanded to an
almost imhmited extent as markets are found for the product.
The lumber business in the Territory has been prosperous during
the last twelve months. There is a general demand for railroad ties,
and the prices have gone up considerably.
The good-roads conmiission, consisting of the governor, the terri-
torial engineer (the active member), and the commissioner of public
lands, has done excellent work since the last report of the TOvemor
was made to your office. Several of the counties in the Territoiy
have appropriated considerable sums of money to be spent under thi
supervision of the good-roads commission in improving their high-
ways, and numerous other counties have expressed the desire to do
so. The most important work of road building done \mder our super-
vision during the year is the Picacho Hill road from Roswell in Chaves
County to Lmcoln, the county seat of Lincoln County; the La Bajada
Hill road between Santa Fe and Albuquerque; and the road between
Silver City in Grant Countv and the great mining camps in the
Mogollon Moimtains. The nrst two of these enterprises have be«a
finished and are monuments to the ability of the engineers who laid
them out and supervised the work. The Silver City-Mogollon road
it is estimated wdl be completed about June 1, 1911.
Since the creation of tne good-roads commission in 1909 it has
examined over 1,000 miles of road and has actually surveyed and
platted over 500 miles additional. All of the w;ork done imder the
supervision of this commission is of a substantial character. It is
our intention within a very few days to again begin work upon that
Eart of the scenic highway between Santa Fe and Las Vegas, and
eep at it until it is completed. Thia will make one of tne most
beautiful roads in the country and is bound to bring many automobile
tourists into the Territory, as the scenery is imsurpassed and there
are many historic points ol interest in both Las Vegas and Santa Fe
counties. It is intended to build this road, which is known as the
'Tamino Real,'' from the territorial line near Raton to El Paso. It
will be some years before the entire road is completed, but it will be
done.
I am pleased to say that the normal school situated at El Rito. in
Rio Arriba County, is doing good work. An institution such as tnis.
located in the midst of a county the population of which is composea
lai]gely of Spanish-Americans, was greatly needed, as it teaches the
children English and will graduate many who will be qualified to
instruct the young in our sparsely settlea rural commumties, where
teachers are most needed.

BEPOBT OF GOVEBKOB OF NEW MEXICO. 421
During the year our schools have improved greatly and will, I
think, continue to improve for many years to come, as the board of
education is constantly raising the standard required of teachers
before they are licensed to follow their profession.
We have been unfortunate in having during the year two fires
which destroyed Lea Hall, used by the New Mexico Military Insti-
tute at Roswell, and Hadley Hall, located on the campus of the Uni-
versity of New Mexico at Albuquerque. The fire at the military
institute occurred early in September, 1909, and destroyed Lea Hall,
the original building of the school. This building was formerly usea
as a dormitory, but at the time of the fire was used for class rooms
and a library. Immediately on its destruction the people of Roswell
indorsed notes for the sum of about $40,000 to raise the necessaiy
funds and erect a new building for the use of the school. This build-
ing has now been completed, is a substantial structure, and reflects
credit not only on the school but on the citizens of the entire Ter-
ritory. When the legislature meets no doubt an effort will be made
to have- the Territory pay for this building, and in my opinion it
should do so, for it would be wrong to compel private citizens to pay
for a building which is used for educational purposes by the entire
Territory.
Hadley Hall of the University of New Mexico was burned late in
May, 1910, just after the commencement exercises of that institution
haa been held. The loss of this building was a serious one, as much
of the apparatus and scientific instruments belonging to the univer-
sity were ruined. Steps have been taken by the regents of the
university to replace tnis building, and doubtless the work of the
institution will not be seriously interfered with during the coming
school year.
POPUIiATION.
The census of 1910 shows that the population of the Territory is
327,396, an increase during the last decade of over 67 per cent. This
is probably as large a percentage of increase as will be shown by any
of the States and is a oright augury of what New Mexico will be in
the future.
The land offices show that 520,145 acres have been proved up and
1,800,686 acres entered from June 30, 1909, to June 30, 1910. The
E^pulation now coming into the Territory is of an excellent class,
any settlers who came without means and entered lands have sold
their relinquishments to persons who have ample funds with which
to improve the lands and place them in a proper state of cultivation.
So-called dry fanning is being thoroughly tested in the Territory, and
in the northern parts where the heat is not too great and other con-
ditions are favorable bids fair to prove a success.
There is a great demand for irrigated lands at constantly advancing
prices, and this demand seems bound to continue so long as products
of the farm command anything like their present prices.
A new land office has Seen located at Fort Sumner, authorized at
the last session of Congress, but it will not be opened for business
till October 1 of the present year.

STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.
On June 20, 1910, the President approved an act of Congress
Eroiriding for the admission of New Mexico to the Union. An election
as been called for September 6, at which delegates will be chosen to
the constitutional convention, to assemble October 3. It is confi-
dently expected that this convention will frame a proper constitu-
tion^ which will not only be adopted by the people but which will
receive the ready approval of the President and ConOTess, thus
extending to this Temtory the privileges and benefits of mil citizen-
ship in tne sisterhood of States. New Mexico's struggle for state-
hood has been a long one. During the period of waiting our people
have had opportunity to imderstand the advantages of the state over
the territorial form of government and have welcomed the passage
of the enabling act with gratitude. Fully aUve to the responsibilities
involved, they are approaching the task of forming and adopting a
constitution with thoughtfumess and care. A&eady the near
approach of statehood has had a perceptible influence upon industiy
and general business conditions, and we look forward, with every
reason, to a period of great industrial development and prosperity
following the completion of the state government.
IMMIGRATION.
The iminigration movement to New Mexico which set in during
1906 continues with Uttle abatement as r^ards the dry-farming dis-
tricts and is increasing rapidly to the irrigated districts and to the
towns.
Two successive unfavorable years in the dry-farming districts of
central, eastern, and southeastern New Mexico have resulted in a
sharp falling off in the rate of immigration to these districts and some
loss of population. The movement to the dry-farming sections of
northern and northeastern counties, however, has continued prac-
tically as heavy as during the previous three years, while the immi-
gration to our irrigated custricts has increased so rapidly as to more
than counterbalance the decline in those diT-farming sections where
conditions have been unfavorable. Heretofore the acreage available
in our irrigated districts has been limited, but with the opening of new
irrigation projects, a number of which have been completed during the
past two years, there has been a marked activity in the side of irri-
gated land and a consequent increase in population in these districts of
a most desirable class. The greater portion of it has come from the
Central and Eastern States, altnou^h a considerable number of farmers
and investors have come from the irrigated regions north and west of
New Mexico, while there has been some iminigration to the Las Cruces
and Pecos Valley dbtricts from the Southern States. These people,
for the most part, are actual farmers who have taken up their homes
on the land, resulting in an important increase in the irrigated acreage
imder actual cultivation. Himdreds of acres of j^oung orchards are
being planted. The total value of the fruit crop in New Mexico for
the present year is estimated at $800,000, as against approximately
$200,000 in 1900, and with the acreage of young orchards now being
cultivated the annual production may be expected to reach $2,000,000
within the next five to six years.
Unfavorable conditions m a large portion of the dry-f amodng area
checked the immigration to these districts, and from approximately

15,000 homestead entries in 1907-^ there were only approximately
9,000 entries in 1908-9. Up to this time a severe drought has pre-
vailed this season over the central, eastern, and southeastern coim-
ties; yet in spite of this there has been a total of 9,775 original entries
during the fiscal year ended Jime 30, 1910. A considerable floating
or speculative population settled in the eastern and southeastern
counties during the homestead rush which set in during 1905-6, and
many of these people have taken leaves of absence from their home-
steads or have dennitely abandoned them during the present year.
The movement was to have been expected, for in spite of all warnings
many of these settlers took up homesteads in distncts where the rain-
fall was known to be insufficient. A majority of the people who have
gone out came to the country without the means to tide them over an
unfavorable year and without any adequate knowledge of the prin-
ciples of dry farming. This outgoing movement, however, has oeen
more than counterbalanced hj the immigration to the proven dry-
farming districts and to the irrigated districts.
A most encouraging feature in considering the homestead land
movement is the number of entries upon which final or commutation
proof has been made during the present fisctd year. The mmiber of
these is 3,224, covering an area of 520,145.16 acres, greater in number
and acreage than during any similar period since the beginning of the
homestead movement to this Territory.
The following table shows the number of each class of land entry
and the acreage under each in the five New Mexico land offices for

36^000,000 acres of public land. Much of this land is mountainous,
is classed as mineral land, is within national forests, or is suitable
only for grazing, yet the most conservative estimates indicate &at
from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 acres are adapted to some form of
farming.

Tptal, 9fl lands open to entry in New Kezico on July 1, lOlD, 36*454.002 acres.
One of the surest indications of increasing interest in New Mexico
lands and resources is found in the rapid increase in the business of
the bureau of immigration, an office maintained by the Territory to
supply information to prospective home seekers and investors.
The number of personal inquiries for information received by this
bureau during the past year shows an increase of more than 200 per
cent over the previous year, and this without any systematic adver-
tising or exploitation of any kind.
The activity in land entries h^ made necessary the creation by
Congjress of a sixth land district, to be known as the Fort Sumner
district, with hea4.quarter9 at Fort Simmer, Guadalupe County.
This office will open for business on October 1, 1910. It is probable,
however, that one of the existing land offices, that at Tucumcari, will
be closed within the next few jrears, a greater portion of the available
agricultural land in that district having been oied upon. The public
domain of New Mexico has been soing at the average rate of 2,50)9,000
acres tor the past five years, anxi as shown by the figures of the past
year tl:^re has been little falling off in this average.
TEJlRITOBIAJi FINANCEjS.
The fii^LUcial records for the year ended June 30, 1910, show the
Territory, the several coimties, and the territorial institutions to
have been successful and prosperous, and their financial administra-
tion satisfactory in every way.
All appropriations have bieen paid promptly.
During the past vear the territonal rate of taxation has been
materially reduced, naving been lowered to 11 mills from 14.45 the
year previous — nearly a 24 per cent reduction. In this connection
attentioiji is called to the fact that property returns for taxation are
made on a basis not exceedi^g 20 per cent of actual value. Were
the returns made on a basis of full valuation the rate would amoimt
to only 0.22 of 1 per cent.
All territorial institutions, penal, educational, charitable, and
others, have lived within their Incomes as fix^d by legislative acts.
No deficiencies h^ve occurred in any of the departments.
The te^ritori^ bonded debt has been decrei^d, interest payments
promptly met, and the credit of the Territory generally im^royed.
^onds issued by the Territory, counties, and ihimicipali|;ies, bearing
low rates of interest, whan offei^ed for sale l^^ve been eagerly 90U^nt
by the bond buyer.

426 REPOBT OF GOVEBNOB OF NEW MEXICO.
On June 1, 1909, there were outstanding bonds of the Territory
to the amount of $1,104,500. During the year ended June 1, 1910,
$88,000 provisional indebtedness bonds, $10,000 current expenses,
and $5,000 certificates of indebtedness nave oeen paid and retired,
leaving a total bonded indebtedness June 1, 1910, of $1,001,500.
The Territory has no debts or obligations of a floating character
and is strictly on a cash basis.
Substantial cash balances adequate for all purposes have been
maintained, such cash balances bem^ kept on deposit with approved
banks, named as depositories of public funds, and amply protected
by good and suflSicient bonds, paying interest on daily oalances at
the rate of 3 per cent per annimi.
The receipts and disbursements by the territorial treasurer for the
year mentioned were as foUows:
Balance on hand June 1, 1909 $527,198.16
Receipts for the year 1, 032, 914. 63

TERRITORIAIj INSTITCmONS.
Reviewing the financial transactions of the board of regents of the
several territorial institutions, and taking into consideration their
present financial condition, the conclusion is reached that the funds
of the Territorv expended in the maintenance of these institutions
have been used economicallv and in the interest of the taxpayer.
The several institutions nave been able during the year ended
June 30, 1910, to live within the appropriations made for their support,
supplementea b;^ their incomes from lands granted by Congress, and
the earnings derived in course of operation.
Two of our largest educational institutions^ the New Mexico Military
Institute and the University of New Mexico, have suflfered heavy
fiiiancial loss through destruction of buildings by fire. Both insti-
tutions were partiaBy protected by insurance, but to replace th^e
buildings additional appropriations will have to be provided by the
next legislative assemoly. The property holdings of the Territory,
both for institutional and other purposes, have l^n increasing from
year to year, and an inventory taken under date of June 30, 1910,
shows that these holdings, based on conservative valuations, aggregate
$1^37,065.17.
The accumulation of this lai^e amount of property has been
through purchase with fimds derived from taxation.
The Territory has other property holdings in lands, held in trust for
the benefit of the various territorial institutions and for other purpoees.
These lands were granted to the Territory by Congress and amounted
to 6,589,206 acres. Of this acreage there nas been selected by the
eommissioner of public lands 5,583,626 acres, which selections have
been approved by the Secretary of the Interior and title vested in the
Territory. Of these lands 71,080.95 acres have been sold at an aver-
age price of $3.22 per acre, leaving 5,512,545.06 acres valued at the
lowest price at which they can be disposed of, $3 per aero. These
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBPOBT OF GOVEBNOR OF NEW MEXICO, 427
lands represent a valuation of $16,537,635.18. The revenue from
these lands for the benefit of the institutions and other purposes for
which granted amounts to over $100,000 per annum. Last year
actual receipts from this source reached $109,396.92.
The receipts and disbursements for all territorial institutions for
the year were as follows :

COUNTY FINANCES.
A year ago the traveling auditor reported :
Financial conditions in the counties are in every way satisfactory. Systematic
accounting is thoroughly established and the county treasurers make prompt monthly
eetUements with the Territory for all territorial taxes collected durine the month; as
r loo with the treasurers of municipalities and city school boards, and the rural schools,
. . which these officials are ex officio treasurers and collectors. All moneys in the hands
of county treasurers are deposited with approved county depositories and protected
by boncte with ample sureties given by ooth treasurers and depositories. Semi-
annually audits of the books of the coimt}^ treasurers are made by the traveling auditor,
and it is a matter of gratification that during the past six years the taxpayer lu^ lost no
money by reason of the acts of careless, incompetent, or dishonest omcials.
A review of the year's business in the several counties of the Terri-
tory shows a satisfactory condition to have been maintained though-
cut the year ended June 30, 1910.
Comparison of the two years indicates that the counties generally
are in better financial condition now than a year ago. This is largely
due to the steadily growing wealth of the several counties, a better
showing being made as to the percentage of collection of taxes and
other moneys, the requirement by the traveling auditor of monthly
instead of quarterfy settlements, and the more rigid requirements
exacted by that official from county treasurers.
On July 1, 1909, there were aggregate balances in the hands of
county treasurers to the credit of vanous county and school district
funds amounting to $1,032,009.39. During the year following there
was collected and received by these officials from all sources the sum
of $3,482,783.07, and for the same period of time there was disbursed
by these officials for all purposes a total of $3,091,375.21, leaving bal-
ances July 1, 1910, aggregating the sum of $1,423,417.25.
COUNTY BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
During the year ended Jime 30, 1910, the several counties have
materiauy increased their outstanding bonded indebtedness. This
is also true with respect to school districts. Practically all of such
new issues made during the past year were for improvement pur-
poses. In only a few instances and for small amounts have bonds
been issued for the purpose of refunding floating indebtedness.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
428 REPOBT OF GOVEBNOB OF IflEW MEXICO.
A number of counties and also a few school districts have taken
advantage of the maturing^of the optional period and have refunded
at lowerrates of interest. The average rate paid by counties and school
districts on outstanding bonded indebtedness is 6.2 per cent. The
larger issues of cpunty Donds when refunded, as a rule, are refunded
into 5 per cents, and at that rate bring a substantial premium, the
smaller issues being sold at par.
The credit of all counties is now much better than in the past. The
aggregate county bonded indebtedness amounts to $3,360,260, wliich
includes $902,000 Santa Fe County Railroad debt and about $58,000
Grant County railroad debt, provision for the payment of which is
made in the enabling act, and which if deductea would leave the net
n*egate bonded indebtedness of the counties $2,800,260.
The aggregate bonded indebtedness of school districts is $663,450.
ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY FOR TAXATION.
The total assessed valuation of all property in the Territory subject
to tax for the year 1909 was $59,464,311.42, an increase over the year
1908 of $6,938,016.41.
As property is only returned for taxation on a basis of one^fif th of
actual value, the estimated value of the property of the Territory sub-
ject to taxation is in round numbers $297,300,000.
The figures for the 1910 assessment are not yet available, but by
reason of decrease in stock interests, on account of the curtcdling of
the range by the influx of settlers throughout the Territory, it is prob-
able the assessment for the present year will be slightly decreased.
TAX LEVIES.
The levy for all territorial purposes for the present year has been
fixed at 11 mills, while the average levy for all county purposes
for the year is 21.44 milk, making a total of 32.44 mills for the sup-
port of territorial and county governments. This does not include
special levies for the support of municipalities, city schools, and
the rural school districts, which are local.
As a whole, tax levies have been reduced. This was brought
about by the large reduction in the territorial levy, sinoe in the
counties, for county purposes only, the average shows a slight increase
BANKING INTERESTS.
On June 30, 1910, the banking interests of the Territory were
represented by 81 institutions, 41 national and 40 territorial banks,
with a total capitalization of $3,302,650, and total resoiux^es and
liabilities of $25,339,893.
During the year 6 new banking institutions have been established
and are m operation under the territorial banking act.
No failures have occurred in the ranks of either the national or
territorial banks. At this time there are 3 small territorial insti-
tutions that under the direction of the bank examiner are in pro-
cess of voluntary Uquidation.

BUILDINa AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.
There are at this time 14 building and loan associations operating
in the Territory, which, with the exception of 2, are purely local in
character. These institutions are prosperous and are economically
managed, to the general benefit or the stockholders and patrons.
Thev have combined resources and liabilities of $1,259,584.57.
These institutions, the same as the territorial banks, are subject
to examination by the traveling auditor, this Territory not hftving
a separate banking department.
CORPORATIONS.
Some 250 corporations were either organized in New Mexico or
admitted to do business in the Territory from other States and
Territories during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910.
The total authorized capital stock represented by these corpora-
tions is $142,000,000. There has been a substantial gain in the
fees derived from corporation filings and turned into thS territorial
treasury during the same period.
As indicated by the classified list below, the largest percentage
of the corporations formed in or entering the Territory dining the
fiscal year 1910 come under the head of mining, milling, and smelt-
ing companies. Mercantile and manufacturing companies come
second in the list and irrigation and improvement companies are
third. These figures show a constant increase in the progress and
development of the resources of the Territory. Large amounts of
outside capital continue to come into the Temtoir.
A number of strong mining companies have Been organized for
operation in the Silver City district; several strong banking insti-
tutions have been incorporated during the year. Important manu*
facturing industries have been established, and the development of
oil in the Territory is progressing, with very favorable outlook.
Several railroaas have been oi^anized during the past year, the
most notable of which is the Arizona EastemKailroad (Company,
which is a merger of Arizona and New Mexico lines, representing
1,875 miles of road. This merger has a strong capitalization, and
will come into New Mexico at a point on the San Francisco River
in the western part of the Territory and run northeast to Farming-
ton, N. Mex., thus giving the western part of New Mexico a railroad
which is much needed and will aid greatly in the development of
mining and other industries in that section. This road will have
250 miles of branch lines and 450 miles of main line within this
TerritoiT.
Detailed statistics relating to corporations, number of filings
made, amount of fees paid, etc., are given in the tables following,
representing data compiled from the years 1909 and 1910.

INSURANCE,
For the year ended June 30, 1910, the receipts and expenditures of
the department were as follows :
Receipts from all sources |38, 057. 38
Office expenaes $5, 619. 65
Fire departmenta 12, 750. 00
New Mexico Firemen's Association 2, 000. 00
20,369.66
Surplus 17,687.73
During the past fiscal year 3 life, 5 miscellaneous^ and 1 fire
insurance companies were admitted, and 1 fire and 2 life insurance
companies have ceased transacting business.
The certificate of authority of 1 insurance company was revoked
on November 12, 1909, for the violation of a ruling against the sale
of special contracts, which ruling waa accepted over the signatures
and seal of the officers of the company, and for methods or dealing
with the department which were far from being businesslike ana
honorable.
A life insurance company, on the legal reserve basis, is being formed
at Roswell, N. Mex., under the name of the New Mexico National
life Insurance Company. It is proposed to have a paid-up cash
capital and surplus of $200,000 each.
Numerous so-called ''interinsurance" concerns persist in soliciting
business in this Territory in direct violation of law. The depart-
ment is endeavoring to warn our citizens against them and these
efforts are bearing fniit.
There are now operating in the Territory the following:
Life insurance companies 29
Fire insurance companies 35
Miscellaneous companies 21
Fraternal beneficiary societies 24

EDUCATION.
Educational advancemttit in New Mexico has been very Ratifying
during the past year. The marked improyement in county super-
vision is at the foundation of much that has made for this advance-
ment. In the great majority of counties the rural schools have been
really supervised and inspected as never before and more general
interest has prevailed, better school buildings have been constructed,
more sanitary conditions obtained, school attendance has been
larger, and longer terms of school have been held.
CBKSUS.
The census of August, 1909, reported 95,101 (93,894 in 1908) per-
sons of school age (5 to 21 years). The public school enrollment,
June, 1910, was 56,162 (47,989 in June, 1909). This indicates that
60 per cent of the scholastics (5 to 21 years) were enrolled in the
public schools. Fully 5,000 persons listed on the school census
were enrolled in private and sectarian schools. This advances our
per cent of census enrolled to nearly 65 per cent. For the United
States, as a whole, the per cent of census enrolled is about 70 per
cent, but in the great majority of States the school census does not
cover so wide a range of ages as it does in this Territory.
OOKPTJLSOBY EDUOATION.
Efforts to enforce the compulsory school law have brought results.
The average attendance durmg the past year was 37,056, as com-
pared with 29,547 for the year previous, or 66 per cent of the enroll-
ment for i909 and 1910, against 61 per cent for 1908-9. In this con-
nection we must take into consideration the fact that there is a lai^
amount of moving about in the Territory and that many families
come to our Territory for the winter months only.
TBAOHBBS.
In all schools 1,462 teachers were employed dunng the past year
(1,220 in 1908-9), 505 men and 957 women. In town, village, and
city schools and in many rural schools the teachers in charge are
strong* in preparation and successful experience, coming from the
various States of the Union with licenses secured on graduation
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOBT OF GOVEBNOB OP NEW MEXICO. 433
from accepted educational institutions or secured on state exami-
nations. The real problem in New Mexico, as it is in evefy State,
lies in the rural schools. To improve teachers in these schools the
Territory requires institute attendance of at least ten days each
summer and pays $15 to each teacher holding a third-grade license
who attends the institute for four weeks. During the past summer
1,276 teachers enrolled in our county institutes (1,109 m 1909), 691
attending for four weeks (353 in 1909), 165 attending for eight
weeks— 15 in Mora County, 50 in the New Mexico Normal Univer-
sity, 100 in the New Mexico Normal School. Teachers in city
schools, where the superintendent gives at least half of his time
to the actual supervision of the grade work are exempt from insti-
tute attendance. We challenge any State to show a better record
of institute attendance, and attendance at institute is indicative of
professional spirit — a desire on the part of our teachers to improve
their scholarship and give more efficient service.
PBOPBItTY AND BXPENDITDltES.
The value of public-schcwl property is fully $1,000,000; the bonded
indebtedness, $600,000. The expenditure for the support of our pub-
lic schools during the past vear was $791,000, or a per capita expend-
iture of $14 on the basis of enrollment.
DBPABTMENT OF BDXTCATION.
The territorial department has issued recently, among other
documents, a guide book for school directors, outlining their pow-
ers, duties, privileges, prohibitions, and citing the law in each case.
Outlines of procedure are included, touching the most important
items, and blank forms are shown covering public-school notices,
blank contracts, etc. This manual has done much to systematize the
management of the local schools and has secured action on matters
that make for efficiency.
Since the certification of teachers was placecj with the territorial
department of education in 1907, 3,500 county licenses have been
issued. In addition^ the territorial board of education has granted
240professional certificates, 90 of which are life licenses.
The county superintendents' visiting record issued by the depart-
ment has served to call the attention of all county superintenuents
to the items that should be noted while visiting schools. This means
that details have been attended to and more real improvement is
the result.
One year ago the department issued the first common-school
course of study for New Mexico. Last June eighth-grade exami-
nations based on this course of study were held in the various coun-
ties. The general interest in examinations is positive proof that the
manual is serving to standardize our common-school work and to
give the children a more balanced school training.

made in regular college work^ and at the present time the university
consists of the following umts: College of letters and arts, college
of science and engineering, school of education, conmiercial schod,
and preparatory school. Seven buildings of varying size and style
surround the campus. The enrollment for the vear 1909-10 was

NEW MEXICO MILTTABY INSTITTTTE, BOSWELL.
The New Mexico Military Institute was established in 1895 and
opened to students September 1, 1898. It began its history with
but one building, a four-storjr brick, which was destroyed by fire
at the opening of the last session. The institute now owns 9 large
buildings, 2 of which — Hagerman Barracks and Lea Hall — are
specially lai^e and handsome. Lea Hall was erected at a cost of
more than $60,000 to take the place of the building burned last fall.
The buildings and grounds are valued at $250,000.
The institute is recognized as a "distinguished institution" by the
United States War Department. This places it among the first 10
military schools of the United States. One of its honor graduates is
commissioned as second lieutenant in the United States Army each
year and many of its ^aduates are holding conmiissions as officers in
the Philippine Constabulary and other branches of the Government's
military service.
For several years the institute has been forced to reject many
applicants on account of limited quarters. Last year 172 cadets
were admitted, which was the full capacity of the barracks. ^ Day
students are not admitted, all students being required to live in
barracks and remain imder garrison duty at aU times. The faculty
is composed of 14 men, all of whom are college bred and specially
trained for the particular work assigned.
SCHOOL OF MINES, SOCOBItO.
The School of Mines was established in 1889. The total enroll-
ment of students during the last year was 52; the faculty consisting
of 7 members. The graduates of this school have a wide and remu-
nerative field to enter and there is a constant and growing demand for
the services of mining engineers in New Mexico amd Arizona, as well
as in the sister Republic of Mexico. The school is ideally located in
a mining district, where the students may acquire practical as well
as theoretical knowledge of mining. The value of buildings and
improvements in $82,000.
SPANISH-AMEBICAN NORMAL SCHOOL, EL BITO.
This school was established in March, 1909. The object is to
educate the Spanish-American young men and women of the Terri-
tory as teachers. Under the direction of Mrs. Geoi^e Dixon the
institution has proved a most valuable addition to the educational
institutions of tne Territory and is supplying the long-felt want in
the country districts. During the last year the enrollment was 50.
The faculty has been increased and the year's work will begin Sep-
tember 6. The buildings and real estate are valued at $26,177.
COLLEGE OF AGBiaULTTTBE AND MECHANIC ABTS, MESILLA
PABK.
This institution was established in 1889. The faculty is composed
of 38 members. Two hundred and seventy-one students were in
attendance last year. The institution is supported jointly by the
United States and by New Mexico, the grounds and buildings oeing

the property of the latter. There are 11 principal (buildmgS; 3 of
whicn were constructed during 1908 at a cost of $55,000. The
institution oilers college courses in agriculture, and various branches
of en^eerinj;, household economics, commerce; and general science.
A senes of mdustrial courses of hiffh-school grade were recently
added. These courses include agriculture^ mechanics; business, and
domestic science. There is also a preparatory course of high-school
^ade and courses in stenography. The buildingS; grounds, and
improvements are valued at $240;542.
TERRITORIAL LANDS.
The leasing of public lands, conducted through the office of the
commissioner of pubUc lands, shows a gratifying growth, during the
past fiscal jear, tne number of leases in force on June 30, 1910, being
5,115, an mcrease of 111 over the number in force June 30, 1909,
while the acreage leased on June 30, 1910, was 2,089,394.09, an

FARMING.
IBBIOATBD FABMINO.
A^culture has long since taken its place as the leading industrr
of ^^ew Mexico and is growing more rapidly in importance with each
year. From less than 400,000 acres in cultivation in 1900 we now
have close to 1,000,000 acres actuaUy producing, and, with a number
of new irrigation projects proposed and under way and the rapid exten-
sion of the dry-f armmg area, this will undoubtedly be doubled sev^^
times over during the next decade. The activity of private capital
in the development of our irritable lands is most Ratifying and will
result, we confidently expect, m placing New Mexico near the top of
the roll of irrigated States during the next few years, both in acreage
and production.
In 1900 our most careful estimates indicated a total irritable area
of not to exceed 1,000,000 acres. However, the thorough mvestiga-
tions which have been carried out during the past four years by Sie
engineering department show conclusive^ that we have no less than
3,000,000 acres which may be reclaimed by practicable diversion,
storage, and pumping projects.
The rapid and substantial development of our irrigated districts is
due to the considerable number of practical farmers and fruit grow-
ers who are locating there. Under the United States Reclamation
Service project at Carlsbad, Eddy County, the year has been a very
favorable one. An auction sale of surplus lanas under this project
will be held August 24, 1910, to dispose of all holdings in excess of
160 acres, but fiom the present movement there will be practically
no surplus lands remainmg at that time. Farmers of this district
have had an exceptionally prosperous year, and it is now estimated
that several of them will actually pay the full purchase price of their
lands from this year's crop. The production of alfalfa seed has devel-
oped into an important and very profitable industry in this district
during the year.
Immigration into the artesian belt surrounding^ Roswell, Artesia,
and smaller towns shows a steady increase. Wmle land prices are
advancing, there appears to be a steady demand, and the class of
population coming m is composed of substantial farmers. The
speculative element is rapidly disappearing from this district. A
number of large tracts of land adjacent to Roswell have recently been
sold and are now being cut up into small tracts. The sale of these
lands will result in bringing many new farmers to the district during
the coming year.
There has been an important land movement in the Mesilla Valley,
surrounding and south of Las Cruces. This includes both lands
already under irrigation and those which will come under irrigation
under the completed Elephant Butte project, on which construction
is now under way. Lanas in this district are also advancing in price;
the season has been favorable and production of all classes of crops
excellent.
Activity in Coif ax County irrigated lands has been considerable.
Five new projects are now delivering water in this county, and the
companies owning the land are enjoying a rapid sale to a most desir-
able class of purchasers, chiefly actual farmers. There is still a con-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BEPOBT OF QOVEBNOB OF NEW MEXICO. 439
siderable area in this county which will be reclaimed by private
capital, plans for the most important projects having been completed.
It is now .assured that an important irrigation project will be con-
structed at Las Vegas, which will deUver water to 18,000 acres in
1912. This will mean an important immigration movement to this
district, in addition to the heavy movement to the dry-farming lands
east of Las Vegas, which has continued during the past year.
San Juan County continues to attract the attention of high-class
farmers and fruit growers. Lands in this county are selling rapidly,
and the new irrigation projects now under way will add a very large
acreage, which will be available within the next twelve or fifteen
months. One of the first important projects under our new district
irmation law is under way in this county.
The Deming district in Luna County has shown remarkable activity.
Demonstration of the feasibility of pumping for irrigation has given
great impetus to land sales; new people have come in rapidly; acreage
under cultivation has been extended, and the district is very pros-
perous.
At Portales, in Roosevelt County, an important central pumping
plant has been completed, furnishing power to pump water for 10,000
acres of fine land. This project was not completed in time for this
season's crop, but will be m active operation during the next season.
One of the most important developments of the ^ear in irrigation
has been the opening of the new Fort Sumner district in Guadalupe
County, where 16^000 acres are already reclaimed by direct diversion
from the Pecos River, and where a very large additional acreage will
be brought under irrijgation when water rights have been adjusted.
Practiciuly within a single year this district has advanced from open
range to one containing some of the most highly cultivated and most
profitable farms in New Mexico. Land prices have advanced from
|50 to as high as $200 an acre in case of producing lands. The dis-
trict is being settled by actual farmers, most of whom have suflBcient
capital for the proper and profitable development of their land.
Pumping for irrigation is now being investigated in the Estancia
VaUey, heretofore a dry-farming district. Test wells show a con-
siderable volume of water, and it is hoped to reclaim some 20,000
acres by means of a central power plant.
An important private irrigation project is under way at Chama in
Rio Arriba County, where private capital is developing a portion of
the great Tierra Amarilla land grant, while another private corpora-
tion has imdertaken the construction of irrigation works near Red
River in Taos County for the reclamation of 35,000 acres of territorial
land. There are many small private irrigation enterprises which
might be enumerated and which in the aggregate have placed an
extensive area under cultivation.
DBY FABMINO.
The great increase in final and commuted homestead entries during
the past year indicates that a very considerable part of the recent
settlement within our dry-farming districts is permanent, substantial,
and successful. Although dry farming is still experimental in many
districts, and although it has been the poUcy of the territorial govern-
ment not to encourage immigration into those districts whicn have
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
440 BEPOBT OF QOVEBNOB OF KEW MEXICO.
not been thoroughly tested, the immigrants have come Yohintaiihr,
and in many districts, particidarly those in the higher altitudes, the
fanners have become very prosperous. Successive droughts in the
eastern and southeastern counties have discouraged many of the diy
farmers in those sections; yet many have remained with their home-
steads, and not a few have secured fair crops in spite of a rainf idl
which for two years has been far below the average.
The lack of knowledge of a majority of these people of the essential
principles of dry farming, their ignorance of local conditions, of
drougnt resistant crops, proper planting time, etc., have worked
seriously against their success. Moreover, many of them have come
into the country wholly without means, and dry farming, save in the
higher altitudes of New Mexico, is not a "poor man's industry," for
the farmer in the region of uncertain rainfall should have sufficient
capital to see him through one and even two unfavorable seasons with-
out a crop. The need of education in dry farming is inq>erative, and
during the year the railroads enterin? New Mexico, appreciating this
need,have taken steps to meet it. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad is the pioneer in this movement, having placed in the
field an agricultural demonstrator and assistants whose duty it is to
instruct the people in the principles of dry farming, proper crop,
time of plantmg, etc. The £l Paso and Southwestern Bauroad also
has an agricultural expert in the field, as has the Southern Pacific
system. The St. Louis, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Baiboad has
established a demonstration farm ftlong its lines. This educational
' work is already having an important euect upon production.
IRRIGATION.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, our irrigation depart-
ment received 158 appUcations to appropriate water coverinff 617,816
acres of land. Construction has begun under 20 of these applications,
work under 6 more has been one-fif tn completed, and 9 of the projects
have been completed.
On the whole, progress in irrigation has been entirely satisfactory
in spite of the severe slump in irrigation bonds precipitated bv im
failure of a large Chicago bonding house, which made a specialty of
this class of securities. NotwitliStandiii^ the difficulty of floating
irrigation securities, a number of our projects have l)een financed
and construction has proceeded.
There has been a tendency to grasp public waters of the Territory
in many instances by those desirous not to develop the lands, but to
speculate in water rights, and to check this and also to curb an over-
exaggeration of the water supply the irrigation engineer, with the
approval of the board of water commissioners, has jxxwie a rule requir-
ing a sufficient bond, in proportion to the volume of water asked for.
to be executed in favor of the Territory, and which must be fumishea
by aU applicants to appropriate water as a guaranty that the appU-
cant win complete the project as proposed.. This requirement is
working admirably. Since its inauguration $34,000 in such bonds
have b^n filed with the engineer.
There have been 13 appeals from the decisions of the territorial
engineer to the board of water commissioners, 6 of which were affiimed,
1 reversed, and 6 pending.

CABEY ACT.
The legislature of 1909 accepted the provisions of the Carey Act,
and already we have two projects on which segregation has been
asked for — one for the Lake Charette Irrigation Companyof Springer,
Colfax County, for 10jX)00 acres, and one for the Oasis JDevelopment
Company of Artesia, Eddy County, for 10,000 acres. In addition to
the above several more projects are now preparing to make applica-
tions for segregation, and the prospects are favorable for the construc-
tion of severafCarey Act projects in the near future.
DISTBIOT IBBIOATION PBOJECTS.
Several important irrigation projects are proposed under the dis-
trict irrigation law enacted by the legislative assembly in 1909.
Two irrigation districts have been organized, and construction work
now under way will be completed during the year 1911. These
projects are the Orchard Irrigation District at Aztec, San Juan
t/ounty, 12,000 acres, and the Las Vegas project, 18,000 acres, within
the Las Vegas land grant, near Las Vegas.

STBEAM OAOINO.
The water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey
at Denver, Colo., has advised the irrigation engineer that New Mexico
is doing more in the Une of collecting accurate, official stream-flow
records than any State on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains.
The department has already installed 20 staff gf^es and 9 Friez
automatic registers, where daily records are made of the flow of the
water in 29 of the principal streams of the Territory. Three more
automatic gages have been shipped for installation. The collection
of this record in behalf of irrigation development is invaluable. The
Santa Fe Railroad, seeing the value of this work^ has contributed
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
442 REPORT OF GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO.
$1,000 to the fund of the Territory for this purpose. Private parties
have contributed as high as $500. The collecting of records by
automatic gages is by the most approved scientific method. The
United States Geological Survey cooperates in the work to the extent
of an appropriation of $2,500 annually.

ABTESIAN WELLS.
There are now more than 700 artesian wells flowing in Chaves and
Eddy counties, irrigating approximately 30,000 acres, planted chiefly
in iwPalfa and orchards. Tne flow of these wells shows little diminu-
tion, although the use of water has doubled within three years past.
GOOD ROADS.
The construction of territorial roads under the direction of the good-
foads conmiission created by the last legislature has proceeded rapidly.
Over 1,000 miles of road have been inspected, 500 miles surveyed, uid
ever 100 miles constructed. The principal work done is as follows:

It has been the policy of the commission to construct the most
difficult sections first; affording a demonstration of what can be done.
The interest taken bv the people in this work is very ^ratifying.
With the cooperation or the people and the counties along the various
roads and by the use of convict labor we have been able to do a ^eat
deal more than we could have done otherwise. The people nave
contributed in places more money than we had allotted from the
general territorial funds.
FOREST RESERVES.
There are now approximately 11,000,000 acres within national
forests in New Mexico. There have been a number of changes in
boimdaries of the reserves during the year, considerable areas having
been restored to the public domain and other areas taken into the
forests. Administration of the reserves in tins territoryis through the
district forester, with headquarters in Albuquerque. The placing of
this administrative officer m the field has resulted in a much more
satisfactory administration of the forests.
CATTIiE.
During the year ended June 30, 1910, shipment of cattle has been
heavy, 299,255 cattle and 10,988 horses having been inspected.
Also 66,776 hides are reported for that period.
PBIOBS.
Prices are exceedingly good and show quite mi improvement over
last year. Yearlings Drought $18 to $21, as against $12 to $17 in
1909. Two-year-olds sold at $25 to $28 against $20 to $26 in 1909,
while 3-year-olds and up brought from $35 to $38 as against $26 to
$36 at this time last year. Cows brought $19 in the southern and
$25 in the northern portion of the Territory.
It has been exceedingly dry in the southern sections for the past
two years, making shipping or handling of cattle ver^ difficult, and
losses have been sustained in these districts. Grass is reported in
good condition in the northern and middle sections.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
444 REPORT OF QOVRRNOR OF KSW MEXICO.
The general health conditions are excellent. Reports of losses from
black leg become more and more infrequent, as necessary precaution
of vaccinating calves is now pretty generally understood.
Range-inspection work was a^ain taken up in cooperation with
the United States Bureau of Ammal Industry the past spring and
inspection and dipping in the infected and quarantined districts have
been carried on as rapidly as possible. The work is being somewhat
delayed in the Pecos Valley on account of the lack of rain.
It is beUeved that we have practically stamped out the threatened
epidemic of glanders on account of which a quarantine was placed
on Quay and Roosevelt counties in December, 1908. Immediately
upon report of a suspicious case it is placed in special quarantine and
tested.
Thirty horses were condemned and killed in this district and the
owners reimbursed for the same under the law. No new cases having
been found among the animals held as suspicious upon a retest, it was
deemed advisable to lift the quarantine, and the restrictions have been
removed*.
About December 1, 1909, the work of testing dairy cattle for
tuberculosis in cities and towns of 500 or more inhabitimts was
commenced. This was carried cm under the direct supervision of the
United States Bureau of Animal Industry, Doctor Melvin, Chief of
the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, furnishing aU tuber-
culin and the veterinarians necessary for the work.
Seventy-three animals, cows and bulls, were found infected, con-
demned, and killed and the owners reimbursed according to law.
About 5.000 animals were tested.
One tnousand eight hundred and thirty-one certificates of brands
recorded have been issued during the year ended June 30, 1910.
SHEEP.
Cooperation between the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture and the New Mexico sheep sanitary board for the
Eurpose of eradicating scabies from among the sheep in the Territory
as been carried out for a number of years and was continued during
the past year. Ordera were issued July 1, 1909, requiring all sheep
to be presented at dipping plants for dipping in accordance witn
iristructions of inspectors and the cleaning and disinfecting of all
infected corrals, wnich orders were strictly enforced. The TBureau
of Aidmal Industry had a large force of mspectors in the field to
supervise the dippm^ of all sheep, while the mspectors of the sheep
sanitary board saw that ail sheep were brought in to dipping planta
During the early part of last winter a reinspection was made imd
all sheep foimd infected were again required to be dipped under
supervision. This spring all sheep were again reinspected and those
found infected either dipped under supervision or placed in quaran-
tine.
At the request of the sheep sanitary board, the Bureau of Animal
Industry has again agreed to cooperate with the board on a similar
plan during the present year, and a general order requiring all sheep
to be dipped under supervision of bureau inspectors was issued
June 15*

The drought in the spring of 1909 was very severe, losses were
high, and the per cent of lambs raised comparatively small. The
lambing this spring, 1910, was much better than for 1909, although
drought conditions prevail, and in some sections practically no
lambs have been raised. The per cent of lambs raised probably
will be near 60.
Lambs sold last fall for from 4 to 6 cents per pound, netting the
grower gross from $1.75 to $4 per head — better prices prevwling
than during the previous year. During the year ended June 30^
1910, 719,444 head of sheep were shipped out of this Territory, about
the same number as were shipped out during the previous year, the
niimber shipped out during these years bemg much less than in
former years. This decrease is owing to drought conditions which
have prevailed, and to the heavy innux of home seekers who have
taken up large areas of lands for farms which were formerly devoted
to grazing sheep. The number brought in during the same period
amounted to 29,983. There were probably 3,500,000 head of sheep
on the range this springy prior to lambing.
The woolclip shorn this spring amounts to about 18,000,000 pounds,
f practically nonb of which has been sold, the prices offered being
rom 5 to 7 cents per pound less than wool sold lor during 1909.
PUBmC BUIIiDINGS.
New Mexico has a well-constructed capitol building and an execu-
tive residence recently completed. An annex to the capitol is now
nearing completion, and these buildings will cost, all told, $255,356,
this cost representing buildings, furnishings, and lands. The buildings
are of excellent construction and their cost is very low. In addition
to these and its institutional buildings the Territory owns 6 handsome
national-guard armories, at Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Las Cruces, Roswell,
Silver City, and Albuquerque^ representing a total cost of $101,476.
The total cost value of Duildings, real estate, equipment, etc., of
the various territorial institutions of all classes, exclusive of the
capitol buildings, is $1,837,065.17. This totd does not include
lands granted by Congress for the support of educational and other
institutions.
NEW MEXICO PENITENTIARY, SANTA FB.
The conduct of the New Mexico penitentiary at Santa Fe has been
satisfactory. During the year ended June 30, 1910, a substantial
new guardhouse has been completed, a south wing, containing a new
cell house, has been practically completed, and the institution is in
excellent physical condition.
During the year several gan^ of convicts have been employed in
road construction, under direction of the territorial good-roads com-
mission, and the work done by these convicts has been excellent.
It has been found that small gangs of convicts can be worked suc-
cessfully on the roads, and whOe there have been seventeen escapes
from the road gangs, owing to the difficulty of guarding, eight of
these prisoners nave been recaptured. Prisoners sent out on road
work are carefully selected ana added precautions are being taken
to prevent escapes.

The physical condition of the prisoners confined in the prison has
been excellent, there having been few patients in the hospital and
these chiefly accident cases. One deatn occurred during the ^p-ear
from disease contracted before the prisoner entered the penitentiary
and one prisoner was killed by the overturning of a loaded wagon
while at work on the Silver City-MogoUon road.

NEW MEXICO ASTIiUM FOR THE INSANE, liAS VEGAS.
On June 30, 1910, the New Mexico Asylum for the Insane at Las
Vegas was caring for 262 patients — 159 men and 103 women — an
increase of 30 patients over the number being cared for on June 30,
1909. In order to care for this increase the board of directors have
completed a two-story brick building, with* basement, known as
"Armex No. 2." The building is substantially constructed and is
practically fireproof. It cost completed $16,548.25 and was paid for
with funds saved from the maintenance fund. It has capacity for
70 patients and has relieved the crowded condition of the institution,
which is now in satisfactory physical condition. The asylum now
has capacity for 325 patients. An extension to the dining room will
be built at once, the building to be of fireproof construction, with
second story, which wUl be used as an auditorium and amusement
hall for the patients, where entertainments may be held and reUgious*
services conducted. Important improvements have been made in
the way of fire protection during the year. The institution owns 355
acres of fine land immediately adjoining the buildings, 200 acres of
which are in profitable cultivation.
The receipts fox the fiscal year amounted to $69,328.41. The
expenditures were $69,169.86. In the disbursements are included
the sum of $16,548.25 paid for the extension to Annex No. 2, and the
sum of $3,507.27, paid on account of the extension to the dining room
now in course of construction.
NEW MEXICO REFORM SCHOOL, SPRINGER.
This institution, established bv act of the last legislative assembly,
was opened October 1, 1909. The first year of its operation has been
successful thus far; there being 29 juvenile prisoners on June 30, 1910.
The institution is well equipped, with sufficient building for present
needs and ample grounds surrounding. A farm is maintained which
is worked by the prisoners, thus givmg them healthy employment.
A thoroughly efficient superintendent, of wide expenence in reform
school work, has been placed in charge and he is bringing to the
institution tne most approved methods lor juvenile correction.

The industrial department is receiving special attention, the boys
being taught printing, shoemaking, wood turning, carpentering, etc.,
and the gurls general nousekeeping, plain and fancy sewing, etc. The
most approY^ methods are employed in teaching, the oral method
being used as far as possible, rractically every deaf and dumb
child in the Territory has been received into this institution.
NEW MEXICO INSTITUTE FOR THE BUND, AlaAMO-
GORBO.
This institution, like the institute for the deaf and dumb, is young,
but is doing excellent work. Twenty-six pupils are in attendance
and every effort is being made to bring to tne school every Uind
child in the Territory. The faculty now consists of the superin-
tendent, matron, both of whom are practical teachers of the olind,
and three instructors, including an mstructor in music. The very
best methods are in use in conducting the institution. The pupib
are encouraged in out-door exercises and athletics, and the track
team, composed of blind boys, won honors in a recent scholastic
athletic contest among institutes for the blind. The institution has
an excellent building and its equipment is complete.
MINERS' HOSPITAIj. RATON.
This institution, estabUshed by le^lative act in 1903, is for the
care of injured miners. It is mamtained chiefly by territorial
appropriation, supplemented by revenue from pay patients. The
hospital is under the direction of a capable surgeon, the superin*
tendent, and a corps of efficient nurses. During the year an addition
has been constructed at a cost of $12,000, ^ving an additional 20
rooms. The condition of the institution is satisfactory.
THE NATIONAL GUARB.
The National Guard now consists of one regiment of infantry (11
companies and a band) and a battery of light artillery, with a total
strength of 864 enlisted men and 54 officers. This does not include
officers on the unassigned Ust. During the past year two companies
of infantry and a light battery have been organized and mustered
into the service, and the signal detachment at Roswell has been
mustered out. The War Department has treated the guard very
liberally by furnishing 348 sets of infantry equipment, complete,
valued at $24,000, and eouipment for the light battery valued at
approximately $75,000. Neither of these were charged against our
allotment. Our allotment, from which equipment is purchased, has
heretofore been so small that it would have been a number of years
before the National Guard could have been increased to its present
strength, had the War Department not given us this equipment.
During the next year it is hoped that the regiment or imantiy may
be completed by the organization of one more company. It is also
intended to increase the strength of each company by 10 men.

Five companieB of infantry and band were in camp of instruction
at Las Ve^as from July 15 to July 30. The rifle range at Las V^as^
which is alBO used for camp purposes, is an ideal camp site.
The Territory was represented at the national matches at Camp
Perry, Ohio, by a rifle team. The scores made showed a great
improvement in marksmanship over the preceding year.
On May 13, in answer to urgent telegrams, stating that the Taos
Indians had gone on the warpath and requesting military assistance
at once, a detachment of 50 enlisted men and 5 officers from Com-
panies E and F, First Infantry, was directed to proceed to Taos under
command of the adjutant-general. The troops left Santa Fe at
12.30 .a. m. on May 14. Fortunately the trouble was not as serious
as had been reported and the troops, after going no farther than
Cieneguilla, returned to Santa Fe on the morning of May 16. The
promptness with which this movement was effected and the spirit
shown by the officers and men on that occasion speaks well for the
National Guard. The experience gained by the men on this trip
was alone well worth the money expended.
The New Mexico Military Institute at Roswell was inspected by the
adjutant-general on May 24, as required by law, and found to be up to
its usud mgh standard. This institution has again been placed in the
distinguished class by the War Department. 'Riis alone is a sufficient
testimonial to the excellent work which is being done.
During the next winter a regular school system for the theoretical
instruction of officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard will
be established.
MINING.
Important development in metal mining has occurred during the
past year. In the mining districts of Grant County corporations
backed by ample capital have expended laree sums in development of
the great copper deposits of this region and the ore already blocked
out and the equipment now being installed for mining it assures that
this will soon take its place as one of the great copper-producing dis-
tricts of the country. There has been, a£o, important development
in the lead and zinc mines of Socorro County, while some revival is
indicated in the older mining districts of Lincoln County.
COAL MININO AND BESOUBCES.
The coal-mining industry in New Mexico has been very prosperous
during the past iScal year, the production having been greater than
in any preceding jear, with greater increase than heretofore shown.
The gross production was 3,293,486.41 tons ; amount used in operating
the mines 38,553 tons; approximate amount of unwashed slack and
coal sent to coke ovens, 802,676 tons; net tonnage of coal shipped to
market, 2,433,733.98 tons; estimated value of net product at the
mines, $3,503,904.91.
These figures show an increase of gross production of 612,396.59
tons; increase of gross production over preceding fiscal year 18.42
per cent. The increase of net product of coal shipped to market was
486,668.55 tons, or 24.99 per cent over the preceding fiscal year.
Increase in value in net tonnage of coal shipped to market $744,478.66.
In addition to the coal shipped 397,102.10 tons of coke were ^pped^

the Talue of which was $1,189,965.62, or a total value of coke and
coal shipped amounting to $4,693,870.53, an increase in value over
the preceding fiscal year of $776,768.59, or an increase in value
of coal-mine products of 19.79 per cent. * Two thousand four hundred
and sixty-four men and 39 boys were employed under ground, and
340 men and 18 boys outside at the mines; total number of men and
boys employed immediately at the mines 2,861.
While a greater tonnage of coal was mined than in any preceding
year, and iQso a much peater tonna^ per man employed, the per-
cental of fatalities fell from 0.556 m the preceding nscal year to
0.489 m the year last past.
The most pleasant relations were maintained between the mine
operators and employees; and there was no indication of strikes or
labor troubles durmg the year.
FISH ANB GAME.
The game and hunting Ucense law passed by the legislature of 1909
has b^en in very eflFective operation. The license fees, while moderate,
have been rigidly required; an eflFective system of deputy wardens
has been established throughout the Territory and all protected
game is carefully watched. Under the system organized by the terri-
torial game warden there are now 149 hcense couectors, 160 general
deputies charged with the enfgrcement of the law, and a chief deputy,
who is in charge of the central ofl&ce at Santa Fe. Forest officers
and Indian school-teachers are among the most capable of the deputy
wardens, there bein^ 40 of the former and 16 of the latter now serving.
The revenue from licenses not only maintains the system, but during
the past year has left a substantial balance as shown by the following
statement:
From sale of liceDBee and pennits $9,596.95
From fines for violationa of the laws 180. 00
Total 9,776.95
From which there has been expended:
Salary of chief deputy 1, 125. 00
Contingent expenses of office, and of warden on field duty 1, 448. 24
Expenses of deputies on field duty 1, 315. 38
Total 3,888.62
Leaving a balance in the game-protection fund July 1, 1910, of 5, 888. 33
The people throughout the Territory, as they become better
acquainted with the law and its intent are carefully observing it.
There is an increasing rush each summer for our trout streams, both
by residents and nonresidents. The result of several seasons with
very heavy catch has become apparent in several more accessible
streams, therefore propagation has become necessary. A hatchery
IB badly needed.
Hon. G. M. Bowers, Commissioner of the Bureau of Fisheries,
Washington, D. C, is rendering the people of New Mexico valuable
assistance by furnishing fish fry for stocking, no£ only the pubUc
streams, but also private lakes and reservou*s, but owing to the
increasing demand throughout the entire country it is impossible to
Digitized by VjOOQIC
BSPOBT OF GOYEBNOB OF NEW MEXICO. 461
secure anything like a sufficient number to keep our streams properly
stocked.
New Mexico is an ideal game country. Its numerous mountain
ranges heavily timbered and watered by many mountain streams
cover a very considerable portion of the total area. The large forest
reserves are constantly and carefully guarded by forest officers, who^
while protecting the game as well as the forests, are engaged in killing
oflF predatory animals, thereby rendering valuable assistance to the
warden.
The mountain districts are well stocked with deer, ^ouse, and wild
turkey. Prairie chickens and bob white quails are rigidly protected
until 1915 and are rapidly increasing in number. There are a few
ptarmigan and wild pigeons in the Taos Mountain range. A band of
mountain sheep in the Guadalupe Mountains near the Texas and
New Mexico line, which under the present protection are Increasing,
are frequently seen.
HUAIiTH.
Health conditions in New Mexico during the past year have been
^ood. There have been no serious epidemics and all of our cities and
mcorporated towns are now adopting very rigid sanitary and quar-
antine regulations so that danger of disease isbein^ constantly mini-
mized. The territorial board of health is a thoroughly efficient body,
and its work is doing much to promote the public welfare. New
Mexico's magnificent climate is attracting more and more people each
year, who are drawn here by reason of the reUfif to be had from pul-
monary tuberculosis and all diseases of the throat and lungs. The
United States Army Sanitarium at Fort Bayard, Grant County, and
the Marine-Hospitd Service Sanitarium at Fort Stanton have done
much to demonstrate tliat tuberculosis may be cured by careful living,
under the beneficent influence of this chmate. New sanataria for
treatment and care of tubercular patients are being established
throughout the Territory and all of the larger towns are now well
prepared to care for the increasing army of health seekers.
During the past year 110 physicians were licensed to practice in
New Mexico.
MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO AND SCHOOL OF AMERICAN
ARCHEOLOGY.
The territorial legislature of 1909 established the Museum of New
Mexico and located it in the city of Santa Fe. This institution is
under the control and management of a board of regents consisting
of six members, appointed by the governor. The old building known
as the "governors palace" at Santa Fe is the home of this museum,
and the regents have given the use of the building to the School oi
American Arch»olo^, whose headquarters have been established at
Santa Fe. The legislature appropriated $3,000 for the purpose of
installing a heating plant in tne governor's palace and renovating it
in general, and an annual appropriation of $5,000 was made, to be
used for the care and improvement of the building, grounds, and
museum, for equipment, for excavation and research work and the
preservation of arch»ological sites in New Mexico.

452 BEPOBT OF OOVXBNOB OF NEW MEXICO.
The Arch»ological Institute of America is a national institution
existing by virtue of act of Congress, and this institute has thus far
estabUshed four schools of archeology, located, respectiyely, at
Rome, Athens, Jerusalem^ and Santa Fe. The school located at Santa
Fe, the School of Amencan Archeology, is working hand in hand
with our territorial museum; the two thus rendering eadi other
valuable aid, resulting in their mutual advancement.
Santa Fe was selected as the location of this school because it is
in the midst of the richest archeological fields of the United Statea.
Already this institution has attracted world-wide interest, and the
summer school conducted at the Rito de Los Frijoles, about 30 miles
from Santa Fe, was attended by scientists and students not only
from various universities tliroughout the United States but from
Europe as well.
A CTeat*deal of work in the way of excavation at the cliff dwellings
has been done by the staff of the school and museum, and many
skeletons, and specimens of the utensils of the prehistoric people,
valuable to science and historical research, have been obtained.
MOUNTED POLICE.
The New Mexico mounted police consists of a captain, sergeant.
4 regular privates, and 2 additional privates who serve with pay, all
appointea by the governor.
During the interval between July 1, 1909, and the present time
this force has made 232 arrests for different offenses and has recovered
and restored to the owners a large number of cattle, horses, and other
stock.
This body of men, together with the local peace officers, has been
specially active in the pursuit and capture of stock rustlers and
dosperate characters, and the present very satisfactory conditions
as to law and order are Ittrgelv due to the efforts of this force. The
laws regarding gambling and the closii^ of saloons and business
houses on Sundays are being ri^dly enforced, and altogether life
and property are safe in the Territory.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
SALB OF SCHOOL LANDS.
Under the act of Congress of 1898 granting lands to this Territory
for the support of the public schools and omer educational institu-
tions, the sale of such of these lands as may be disposed of is reelected
to 160 acres to an individual. The small acreage which may be sold
makes it difficult to dispose of these lands to the best advantage, and
while no effort is now bein^ made to sell our school lands, which are
held at an average price of $10 an acre, the time will come when it
will be desirable to sell them. Congress has recently deemed it wise
to increase the acreage of homestei^ land which may be filed on in
•certain districts from 160 to 320 acres to an individual. Much of our
land is of the same character as that now betng designated as 320-acre
homestead land, and it seems reasonable that we should have Uie
right to sell it in acreage equal to or greater than that of the enlarged
homestead. BeHeving that this poucy vdll enable us to dispose of
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
REPORT OP GOVERNOR OP NEW MEXICO. 458
these lands to much better advantage, when it becomes desirable to
place them on the market, I strongly recommend that the act making
the grant be so amended as to permit us to sell in tracts not to exceed
640 acres to an individual.
80BNIC HIGHWAY THBOTJOH PECOS NATIONAL FOREST.
The New Mexico Scenic Highway, or ''El Camino Real/' as it is
known, is a state highway projected nrom El Paso, Tex., on the south,
to Raton, N. Mex., and the Colorado state line on the north, where
it connects with a similar highway across the State of Colorado,
extending to Denver and Cheyenne, Wyo., passing through some of
the most oeautiful scenery in the Rocky Mountain region. The road
will be of great commercial importance. This highway has how been
completed from the Colorado Ime through Raton to a point near Las
Vegas on the north, and from Las Vegas some distance west. The
territorial good-roaos commission is now pushing construction from
S.anta Fe on the west, while the highwajr has been almost completed
from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. The highway, therefore, is practi-
cally complete from Albuquerque to the Colorado line, save for a
short stretch through the recos National Forest. The expense of
constructing this short section of the highway through the Pecos
Forest will be comparatively small. It wnl be of importance to the
successful administration or the forest and the preventing of forest
fires, and I therefore recommend that the Forest Service proceed with
this construction as soon as practicable.
I am, sir, respectfully yours,
William J. MiixS;
Governor of New Mexico.

REPORT OF THE MINE INSPECTOR FOR THE TERRITORY OF
NEW MEXICO.
Silver City, N. Mex., September 5, 1910.
Sir : In compliance with section 8 of an act of Congress approved
March 3, 1891, entitled "An act for the protection of the lives of
miners in the Territories," I beg leave to submit herewith the seven-
teenth annual report of this office, covering the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1910.
INTRODUCTION.
PBODUCTION AND PBOSPECTa
The coal-mining industry in New Mexico during the past fiscal
year has continued the onward and prosperous stnde of the seven
preceding years. The gross production of the Territory was
8,293,486.41 tons; amount used in operating mines, 38,553 tons;
approximate amoimt of imwashed slacK and coal sent to coke ovens,
802,676 tons; net tonna^ of coal shipped to market, 2,433,733.98
tons; estimated value ot net product at the mines, $3,503,904.91.
These figures show an increase of gross production of 512,396.59 tons,
or 18.42 per cent oyer the preceding fiscal year. The increase of net
product of coal shipped to market was 486,668.55 tons, or 24.99 per
cent. The increase in value in net tonna^ of coal shipped to mareet
was $744,478.66. In addition to the coal shipped, 397,102.10 tons of
coke were shipped, the value of which was $1,189,965.62, making the
total value of coal and coke shipped $4,693,870.58, an increase in
value over the preceding fiscal year of $775,758.59, or 19.79 per cent
The production of coal and coke kept pace with the demand, al-
though all of the coke ovens in the Territory were not operated full
time. (See table of coke production, p. 71.) The decreased demand
for coke was due to the restricted operations of the copper mines and
smelters of the Southwest and of Mexico.
The demand for coal from the Gallup field in New Mexico was
restricted fulljr 1,500,000 tons by the competition of fuel oil from
California, which has taken the place of Grallup coal on more than
1,000 miles of railroad, and also in manufacturing industries and for
domestic use on the Pacific coast
The fuel oils of the Indian Territory and Texas similarly restricted
the demand for coal from the northern New Mexico field, the oil
being used for fuel on the railroads of Texas, and from El Paso,
Tex., to Los Anffeles, Cal. ; oil was also used for fuel at some of the
mining and smelting plants of Arizona and Mexico.

During the last four or five months of the fiscal year the demand
lor New Mexico coal was further curtailed by the attempt of the
Mexican Government to operate the national railroads with coal from
Mexican mines. This attempt was first made during the preceding
fiscal year, but the Mexican Central Railroad was not placed under
instructions until the earlier months of 1910. When the order was
given to use only Mexican coal for fuel on the Mexican Central Bail-
road the road had quite a large stock of coal in reserve. This reserve
has been drawn upon, in addition to the production from the Mexican
coal mines, until now the reserves are exhausted and the inability of
the Mexican mines to furnish sufficient coal for the railroads of the
Bepublic has been determined beyond doubt Already agents of the
Mexican Central Railroad are casting about to find mine operators
who will supply the road with coal m case the threatened shortage
occurs. The prospect is bright for a larger demand for New Mexico
coal from Mexico in the near future.
Strikes at the coal minxes of the Middle West and Oklahoma may
have tended to keep up the demand for New Mexico coal throughout
the summer months, but the rapid development of New Mexico and
Arizona is also furnishing a better market for the fuel and a market
that will be permanent
The increased production and constant operation of the mines are
better indications of the prosperity of the coal-mining industry than
anything that might be written upon the subject
LABOR CONDITIONS.
There has been a slight dearth of miners at most of the large coal
mines of the Territory. It was expected that the miners who were
out of employment on account of strikes at coal mines farther east
would seek employment in New Mexico, but few of these came west;
however, the mines of the Territory did not suffer severely from
kck of labor.
From the statistical tables herein furnished it is easy to calculate
the average wages earned by miners in New Mexico. Taking the
six largest mines, the average wage earned, as shown, ranges from
$3.58 to $4.03. From this is to be deducted the cost of powder and
oil used by the miner, which would leave an average net daily earn-
ing of about $3.10. To this must be added extra pay for putting in
cross timbers and sets, and for brushing, vardage, etc., which would
probably bring the average wage to $3.50 or better. But in calcu-
kting the average wage it must be remembered that there are many
novices at work in the mines who earn small wages while learning.
A first-class, able-bodied miner usually earns from $4.50 to $6 per
day, and the writer has seen many pay rolls, at different mines,
whereon several of the miners had earned from $160 to $200 for 22
to 25 davs work. If the major part of the danger factor is removed
from mining in New Mexico, as may be done by enforcing proper
discipline, coal mining will become a favorite pursuit.
The mine operators and miners were in close accord during the
year, and at no time nor at any place were any signs of discord
shown. The operators are taking greater interest than ever before
in the safety and comfort of the employees, and in line with other
efforts for the safety of the men and the preservation of property

thejr are maintaininff better discipliiie. As a result fatal and nonfatal
accidents have greatly decreased during the past two years; the rate
of fatal accidents for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1908, was 9.26
per thousand persons employed ; for the following year, 1909, it was
6.66 per thousand employed; and during the past year, 4.89 per
thousand employed. This rate is much greater than it should be, and
is primarily due to lack of laws by which discipline can be enforced.

The following mines suspended operations during the past fiscal
year for the reasons stated :
Anthracite mine. No. 8 opening, Madrid, N. Mex. — Developed area
worked out.
Lower Peacock mine, Madrid, N. Mex. — Coal too low ; inside haul-
age too long.
Sugarite mine, Raton, N. Mex. — ^Lease expired ; reverted to owners;
will resume.
The following mines resumed operations: Gray minCi Capitan,
N. Mex.; Brilliant mine. Brilliant, D*. Mex.

Coal mining by machines does not appear to ffain in favor with the
miners and mine operators of New Mexico. More machines were in
use ten years ago than have been in use recently. One reason for this

condition is the difficulty of getting skilled labor. Many of the most
experienced operators claim there is little^ if any, profit in machine
nuning over nand mining. Where coal is very hard or tough, or
where coal is so low that undermining by hand work makes too larse
a percentage of slack, undercutting by machine is preferable. In
other States the use of coal-mining machines is growing, and it would
appear at first sight that mining l^ machine has aavantages over
manual labor, but after years of experiment the number of cocl*
mining machines in New Mexico has certainly not increased.
During the past fiiscal year 4 Goodman and 2 Sullivan coal-cutting
machines, operated by electricity, were in use intermittently at the
mines of the Stag Canon Fuel Company, at Dawson, N. Mex. The
quantify of coal mined by machines was 20,555.55 tons.
At the Carthage Fuel Company's mines at Carthage, N. Mex.,
Sullivan puncher machines were used intermittently; the quantity
of coal mmed by them was 1,233.07 tons. The total reported tonnage
of coal mined in the Territory by machines was 21,788.62.
Pneumo-electric puncher machines were used by the St Louis,
Rodcy Mountain and Pacific Company during the latter part of the
fiscal year in some of the entries of the mines at Van Houten, N. Mex.,
but the tonnage mined was not recorded separately.

COAIi MINING AND INSPECTION.
BEBNAXJLLO COUNTY.
From the several isolated remnants of the coal measures found in
various parts of Bernalillo County and in adjacent counties it is
evident that the greater part, if not all of its area, once contained
workable coal seams.
ANTONIO SEDILLO GRANT.
On the Antonio Sedillo grant three coal seams outcrop, but only
the middle one is thick enough to be worked, A slope has been driven
on this to a depth of 30 feet. The seam dips about 26®.

TOCGO MINE.
Several opening have been made in small seams of coal in cal-
careous shales and limestones on the southeastern flank of the Sandia
Mountain Bange, but the only one from which coal is marketed is
the Tocoo.
This is located in section 31, T, 11 N., R. 6 E., New Mexico princi-
pal base and meridian. It is owned and operated by John Tocco.
The nearest railroad points are Albuquerque, on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe lUilway^ and Moriarty, on the Santa Fe Cen-
tral Railway, each about 20 miles distant.
This mine has the distinction of operating the thinnest coal seam
developed in New Mexico— one of the thinnest worked in the United
States, and one that ranks also with the thinnest operated in Europe.
The seam is from 12 to 15 inches thick, with 1 to 3 inches of bony
coal at the top, leaving from 10 to 13 inches of clean coal to be mined.
A slope has been sunk 355 feet, with an average dip of 25°, and cross
entries have been driven about 30 feet apart. The props used are
from 10 to 13^ inches lone. The coal is bituminous, free from sul-
phur, and is a very good blacksmith's coal. The product of the mine
IS hauled to Albuquerque, N. Mex., where it is sold for blacksmithing
purposes at from $9 to $12 per ton of 2,000 pounds.
Tne mine was operated about 120 days during the year. Average
number of men employed underground^ 3; average number outside,
1 ; net product, 120 tons; value at the mine, $1,200.
Dynamite — 40 per cent — was used for blasting in the rock -work,
the coal being pick mined. About 50 pounds oi dynamite was used
during the fiscal year.
Few men are employed, and since conditions insure comparative
safety to the men, and other mines needed attention, this mine was
not inspected during the fiscal year. The work being done is princi-
pally development
COLFAX COTTNTY.
Colfax County again leads in the production of coal in New
Mexico, with 73.28 per cent of the total output of the Territory. The
gross output was 2,413,499.60 tons, an increase of 373,849.53 tons, or
13.42 per cent over the gross product of the preceding fiscal year.
Of the total output, 13,720 tons were used in operating the mines,
802.676 tons of unwashed coal and slack were sent to the coke ovens,
andf 1,582,966.60 tons of coal were sliipped to market The total value
of coal shipped to market was $1,917,421.09. The production of
coke was 397,102.10 tons, an increase of 12,347.80 tons over the pre-
ceding fiscal year. The value of the coke made was $1,189,965.62,
making the total value of the county's coal products in the fiscal year
$3,107,386.71.
In the first four months of the fiscal year some of the larger mines
were operated little more than half time on account of lack of demand
for the product, but during the last six months the demand has kept
the mines constantly employed, dearth of miners tending to keep
down the production.

DAWSON MINES.
The Dawson coal mines are owned and operated by the Stag Canon
Fuel Company. The openings in operation are in Tps. 28 and 29 N^
R. 20 E., and T. 28 N., R. 21 E. These mines are located on the
Rat(Hi or Blossburg coal seam, the lower workable seam of the Raton
coal field. The thickness of the seam varies from 5 to 11 feet.
Dawson is the largest coal-mining camp in the Territory. The
gross production of its mines for the fiscal year was 1,185,962.60 tons,
an increase of 89,851.60 tons, or 8.19 per cent over the gross produc-
tion for the preceding fiscal year. The amount of coal used m oper-
ating the mines was 2,388 tons ; unwashed coal and slack sent to the
washery and coke ovens, 522,858 tons; coal shipped to market, 660,-
716.60 tons; approximate price per ton at the mme, $1.25; estimated
value of coal snipped to market, $825,895.75. The coke made was
263,034.10 tons; approximate price per ton at the ovens, $3; estimated
value of total output of coke at the ovens, $789,102.30. Total
value of coal and coke shipped from Dawson mines and coke ovens,
$1^14,998.05,
The coal and coke are shipped via the El Paso and Southwestern
Railroad and connecting lines, and are sold in Arizona, Kansas, Okla-
homa, Texas, and the Southwest. Four openings are in operation,
known as mines Nos. 1, 2, 4, and 6. The mines were operated 267 J
days during the fiscal year. Miners employed, 588; company men
underground, including all not digging coal, 176; boys underground,
19; total number of persons employed underground, 783; men em-
ployed outside at the mines, 103 ; boys outside at the mines, 3 ; total,
106.
The various percentages of the different nationalities employed in
the Dawson mines is typical of the heterogeneous population oif coal-
mining camps. The figures for under^ound employees are : Ameri-
cans, including negroes and all English-speaking employees, 12.67
SBr cent; Finlanders, 0.33 per cent; Austrians, 6.40 per cent; French,
80 per cent; Germans, 1.47 per cent; Italians, 39.68 per cent; Swedes
0.40 per cent; Greeks, 9.65 per cent; Slavonians, 16.19 per cent; 3{)an-
iards, 0.23 per cent ; Japanese, 1.08 per cent ; Spanish-speaking natives
of New Mexico and Mexico, 8.96 per cent; Hun^rians, 2.14 per cent;
total, 100 per cent All of the English-speaking underground em-
ployees could write, as shown by signatures to vouchers, and about 75
per cent of the others.
The following are the percentages of the different nationalities
employed outside: Americans, including English-speaking persons,
44.40 per cent; Germans, 2.23 per cent; Italians, 32.16 per cent; Aus-
trians, 0.53 per cent; French, 0.08 per cent; Greeks, 2.12 per cent;
Slavonians, 0.14 per cent; Spanish, 1.16 per cent; Spanish-speaking
natives of New Mexico and Mexico, 17.18 per cent. As shown by
signatures to vouchers, about 90 per cent of all outside employees
could write.
Dawson is one of the most up-to-date coal-mining camps of the
world. The most improved equipment is in use at the mines and coke
ovens. The ovens have undernues, and the hot waste gases are
utilized imder boilers for generating the electric power for the camp
and for heating purposes. This utilization of the coke-oven ^ases
accoimts for the small quantity of coal used in operating the mmes,
as given in the foregoing estimates of production.

The washery is fireproof, being built entirely of concrete and iron.
The mine equipment and the coke ovens and washery were described
in detail in the report of this office for 1909.
Comfortable houses, at low rental, are provided for employees and
their families. A good hotel and several boarding houses furnish
accommodation to transient visitors and the bachelor employees.
There is a church in charge of an Episcopal clergyman, but free for
services of all denominations. There are also three conmiodious
public schools; lodge rooms; a fine theater, which has yearly contracts
with some of the best circuit troups ; billiard hall ; bowhng alleys ;
stores, where all necessaries and many luxuries may be procured;
and a bank, where foreign and domestic exchange is issued. These
and other modem utilities furnish the town with most of the con-
veniences and means of instruction and recreation to be found in
towns of metropolitan pretensions. Buildings and streets are lighted
by electricity ; good water is supplied free, and the town is policed by
emcient officers.
A more complete description of the town of Dawson was published
in the last annual report of this office.
The machinery at the mines is operated by electricity and has a
capacity of 2,310 horsepower. Sixteen motors, Jeffreys, Westing-
house, and Goodman types, haul the loaded cars from the partings
within the mine to the yards outside at No. 1 and No. 2 mines, to
the tipple at No. 5 mine, and to the parting at head of incline to the
tipple at No. 4 mine, whence the cars are lowered by rope to the
tipple. The motors haul the empty mine cars back into the mines.
At mines Nos. 1 and 2 five steam locomotives — ^Porter, Vulcan, and
Lima makes — ^haul the loaded mine cars from the mines to the tipple.
Four Goodman and two Sullivan mining machines are used inter-
mittently, about 2 per cent of the coal produced being mined by
machine. Each mine has a water system for protection against fire
and for humidifying the mine air. The water mains along the main
entry are 3-inch pipe^ with 2-inch pipe in all laterals and cross en-
tries. Sprayers are mstalled at intervals of about 400 feet in the
intake airwjvys.
Although little fire damp has been found in the mines, the man-
agement gives careful attention to keeping the mines clear of gas
and maintaining thorough ventilation. Eleven fire bosses are em-
ployed in the four mines. The fire bosses examine all workings for
indications of fire damp or other noxious gas before the men are
allowed to enter the mine. A record book is kept in a check cabin,
near the mouth of each mine, wherein a record is made of gases
found, and the miners are prevented from going into a locality where
gas is considered dangerous.
A very commendable method put in practice during the past year
is to have each fire boss report any unsafe conditions m the working
places which it is his duty to examine. He notes unsafe conditions
in a memorandum book supplied him and marks the unsafe spot or
locality. This record applies to timbers lacking, timbers broken,
unsafe roof, etc. When the fire boss comes from the mine he copies
these notes in a record book, duplicated by carbon sheet, stating par-
ticularly where there is imminent danger and need of immediate
attention. It is the duty of the pit boss, when he comes on shift, to
examine this record, and if any place needs immediate attention he
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
472 MIKB IN8PB0T0B FOB NEW MEXICa
keeps the workmen out, and either goes himself to the place or sends
an experienced workman to remedy the dangerous conaition at once.
The pit boss tears out the duplicate record from the book and carries
it into the mine, and it is mandatory that he visit each place noted
as requiring attention before noon that day and remedy the condi-
tions the fire boss complained of. By this method some person is
made responsible for a knowledge of conditions at every place within
the mine, and if an accident occurs the responsibility can be placed
definitely. It is true that a workman may quickly change a safe
condition to a dangerous one, as by a few blows of the pick; but such
changes, made after rooms or entries have been shot, usually the
preceding night, are easily discernible.
Fire bosses dislike the responsibility thus placed upon them ; but
the responsibility for safe conditions in a mine should be placed upon
some official, and who should be so competent and carerul as a fire
Both fatal and nonfatal accidents at these mines have decreased
decidedly since the improved methods have been applied.
The company employs a mine inspector, who oversees the work of
all other persons especially employed to maintain safety. He makes
continuous inspections of aU the mines ; draws samples of the atmos-
phere from inaccessible places in caved gobs and old workings by a
gob pump, and passes the samples into ms safety lamp, noting their
action upon the flame. He also checks up other conditions pertain-
ing to the safety of the men. If any condition requires attention he
can order it remedied without delay or have work suspended. He
makes a daily report to the general superintendent, wno, in turn,
sends it to the general manager. Thus the administration is in touch
from the miner to the general manager, and the preservation of the
safety of the men employed is made of first importance among the
varied duties of the administration.*
System of mining: Triple main entry; double cross entry; room
and pillar, robbing on retreat. All main drift entries are 10 feet
wide by 6 feet high ; main cross entries, 8 feet by 6 feet. Cross en-
tries off cross entries are 8 feet wide by 5 feet 6 inches high; main
air courses are 10 feet by 6 feet, and other air courses 8 teet wide
by 6 feet. All workings are substantially timbered, and haulage
ways and traveling roads are lighted by electricity. Main entry
pillars are from 100 to 300 feet tiiick; main cross entry pillars, 50
to 100 feet. Average length of rooms, 350 feet; room centers, 60
feet; width of rooms, 20 feet; size of room pillars, 40 feet The
mines are veatilated by exhaust fans on the surface.
Shots are fired by electricity after all persons are out of the mine.
To make it certain that the men are all out. the following system
is pursued : Each man must deposit a metal check, stamped with his
number, before entering the mine, and must call for this check when
he leaves the mine. A responsible man receives and returns the
checks at each mine. In case an employee leaves the mine and neg-
lects to turn in his check before shot-firing time in the evening a man
is sent to his working place to find him ; inquiry is made at his domi-
cile and continued imtil his whereabouts is definitely ascertained.
The derelict is charged with the price of the time of the man employed
to seek him; consequently there are few who break the check rules.

KIKE IKSPECTOB FOB NEW MEXICO. 478
Manwavs which the miners are required to travel have been con-
structed during the past year. The manways are lighted by electric
lamps ; there is no haulage equipment along them, and consequently
no danger of men being killed or injured by mine cars while going
to or coming from their working places.
A telephone system extends throughout the principal workings.
Instruments are placed at the most convenient places within me
mines whence messages can be sent to any place in the camp or
connections made with the long-distance phone at the central station.
THE SMrra GOB PUMP.
The Smith gob pump used at these mines consists of two small brass
cylinders, to which may be attached sections of three-eighths-inch gas
Sipe. The last section of pipe is closed at the outer end to keep out
irt when the pipe is pushed into the gob, but this length has perfo-
rations, one-sixteenth-mch diameter, for 2 or 3 inches from the end.
The sections are 6 feet long for convenience in carrying. The oper-
ator, in testing for mine gases on top of caved gobs, may either crawl
up as far as possible and then push up the pipe length bjr length until
it reaches the top of the cave or some obstruction stops it, or he maj
stand in a place of safety outside of the caved ground and extend his
pipes thence to the desired point in the gob. A Wolf safety lamp,
with a patent connection ring in place of the usual ring above the
fount, is then attached to the pump and the plunger of the pump
moved slowly back and forth for four or five strokes. The mixture
of gases that enters the holes at the end of the pipe is thus forced
through the lamp, and the presence of any explosive mixture above
the gob is indicated by the name.
For testing gobs that can not otherwise be reached without con-
siderable difficulty, danger, or expense the writer recommends the use
of this pump. Where places are gobbed alongside of roadways or
rooms the pipe can be pushed in 30 or 50 feet laterally and samples
of the air taken and tested upon the lamp. In dangerous gobs where
Eillars are being drawn and the top is moving badly, and where a fire
OSS could justly hesitate to go, he could push the gas pipe up as far
as 50 feet and discover what sort of an atmosphere there was above.
The pump is light and portable, weighing not over 4 pounds, and
can be carried in a small sack swung over the shoulder, while the
sections of gas pipe can be conveniently carried in the hand. In
using the pump care must be taken to have the pump and pipe freed
from the atmosphere with which it was last filled. To do this it is
best to push the pipes to place to be tested in the gob, then attach
the pump and mate five or six strokes of the pump before attaching
to the lamp. If the pump and pipes be used again within half an
hour after Deing used in a gaseous place, the' lamp will fill with the
gas remaining inert in the pump and pipes, ana if an attempt is
made to clear the pipes by blowing the oreath through them before
attaching to the pump and lamp, the lamp will be extinguished by
the COj contained in the exhaled air remaining in the pipes.
This pump is the invention of Jo Smith, general superintendent
of the Stag Canon Fuel Company, Dawson, N. Mex.
BESCUE STATION.
The rescue station (see PL I) was completed within the past
year. The main building, which is of the mission style and presents
Digitized by VjOOQ IC

a pleasing yet substantial appearance, comprises a basement and first
floor. The basement has a cement floor ana stone and concrete walls.
The upper story of the building is of stucoo or pebble dash. The
buildinff is conveniently located against a hill, into which two tun-
nels 9 TOet apart have lieen driven a distance oi 32 feet each and con-
nected by a crosscut at the rear. At the middle of the back side of
the crosscut is a recess 8 feet square. When men are practicing in the
use of rescue apparatus a fire is built in the recess, and chemicals
that produce noxious and irrespirable fumes are thrown on it Prac-
tice wiUi rescue helmets in this vitiated atmosphere gives a man con-
fidence that the apparatus will stand him in good stead when enter-
ing a mine immediately after an explosion, or when the air of a mine
is vitiated by the fumes from a fire or other cause.
At the mouth of each of these tunnels is an air-tight building, or
practice gallery, with three windows and a glazed door. From a
9-foot space between the practice galleries men who are taking lessons
can observe their ccnnraaes wearmg helmets and practicing various
mine duties in the smoke-laden atmosphere of tne galleries. The
tunnels and galleries are fitted with electric lights, but so dense are
the fumes within that the lights are almost obscured, and the men
inside carry portable electric lights. In the basement of the main
building, forward of and adjoming the practice tunnels and gal-
leries, is the furnace room, 8 by 26 feet ; next it is the apparatus room,
22 by 26 feet. In this room the men are drilled in taking apart and
reassembling the helmets used. They are also taught how to charge
the cylinders for the helmets with oxygen from stock tanks, and
how to put the helmets on and take them off quickly and carefully.
In front of the apparatus room is the storage ropm where the oxygen
tanks and other requisites are stored; here are kept constantly on
hand 800 cubic feet of oxygen. In addition to the furnace room and
ttie storage room, the basement contains a wash room.
The upper story has a porch 8 by 26 feet. A hallway 5 feet wide
and 14 feet long divides the front part of this floor into two rooms
10 feet 6 inches by 14 feet, one being used as an office and the other
for a library. The hallway leads to a meeting room, 23 feet 6 inches
by 26 feet. This room is furnished with desks and chairs to accom-
modate pupils listening to lectures on rescue work and other subjects
helpful to the practical miner. The building is heated by steam and
lighted by electricity.
Practice meetings, at which the men familiarize themselves with
the use of helmets in rescue work, are held two nights each week.
Night-school classes are held two nights a week for men taking corre-
spondence courses and for anyone who may care to attend, and a
technical library is being installed.
The equipment of the rescue station comprises 2 Draeger apparatus,
helmet type; 1 Aerolith apparatus: 1 Shamrock apparatus, mouth-
breathing type; 1 compressed-air helmet; 2 pulmotors; and 1 Draeger
oxygen refill pump. Other helmets or rescue apparatus will be
added as soon as the various devices have been thoroughly tested and
It is decided which is thought best adapted to the work.
This rescue station is, without doubt, one of the best extant, and
will be second to none when the full equipment is installed*

XZNS VO. 1.
No. 1 mine is opened by a main drift entry 3^59.22 feet in length ;
several cross entries are ^om half to three-fourths of a mile long and
are being extended. The first north entry, turned off the main entry,
976 feet from its mouth, is 4,477 feet long. From the end of this
entry a 45° slope is being driven to the surface in Rail Canyon to serve
as an escape way. This slope will be 206 feet in length, and will have
a straight stairway from top to bottom, with landings at necessary
intervsus. This mine is ventilated by a Vulcan 24 by 8 foot double-
inlet reversible fan, belt driven by one 50-horsepower alternating-
current motor and one 25-horsepower auxiliary direct-current motor.
The fan runs at 60 revolutions per minute and exhausts 68,000 cubic
feet of air per minute, at 1.1-incn water gage.

This mine has five opening, including manway and air course.
These openings are at convenient intervals along a distance of 1,000
feet on the outcrop. Length of old No. 2 main entry extended west,
5,357 feet Lengtn of hi)^-line entry to new air shaft, 5,537.45 feet.
Several cross entries are from 1,500 to 3,500 feet in length.
This mine is at present ventilated by a Vulcan 24 by 8 foot fan,
like that at No. 1 mine, belt driven by one 50-horsepower direct-cur-
rent motor and one 50-horsepower alternating-current motor. This
fan runs 82 revolutions per minute and exhausts 94,000 cubic feet of
air per minute with 1.8-inch water gage. A new fan shaft, lust
completed, will change the course of the ventilating current. This
shart is located 5,537 feet from the mouth of the high-line main entry
and about 30 feet from the entry. The shaft is 207 feet deep from
the surface, concrete lined throughout; dimensions of shaft, nearly
10 by 15 feet in the clear, the exact area of the cross section inside the
concrete lining being 148 square feet. Near the mouth of this shaft
there was being installed at the time of writing a Jeffries 18 by 6
foot double inlet (primarily exhaust) reversible fan, with a capacity
of 400^000 cubic feet of air per minute with 5-inch water gage. This
fan will be driven by a Western Electric Company 150-horsepower
alternating-current induction motor. The fan is placed 53 feet from
the center of the shaft to be out of direct line of violence in the event
of an explosion within the mine, and the upper 14 feet of the shaft
is sloped on one side to conduct air to fan. The fan house is of ma-
sonry and concrete, with concrete roof, and is fireproof. On top of
the shaft an explosion door is so adjusted as to give vent to any vio-
lent action fro« below and divert pressure from the fan.
A steel stairway, with landings at frequent intervals, will be built
(or is now completed) in the ian shaft to afford egress in case of
accident.
When the fan is in operation all of the main drift entries to the
surface will become intakes and the splitting of the air within the
mine will be much facilitated. The fan will be working before
September 15, 1910.

This mine is equipped throughout with a system of pipe lines and hose fbr
sprinkling KMKns and entries; the quantity of water introdcued by this means
and by sprayers has not yet been ascertained. It would be very difficult to
determine or even closely approximate the amount of moisture, if any, taken
by the air from the floors and coal faces of this mine, as conditions are at
present. One sprayer is operated continuously in No. 2 main entry day and
night and another in the high-line entry at night only. A man is constantly
employed in daytime sprinkling the rooms and entries in dry areas. Another
potent factor hi humidifying the air are the wet areas wherein there are places
with standing water, over which the air currents travel. Observations taken
at the mouth of the mine and at 500 feet inside of the sprayer or 1,1(X) feet
inside mouth of No. 2 main entry show an average increase of 5 per cent in
the relative humidity of the intake air at the latter point Gk)od results and
improved conditions of the air withhi this mine are shown from sprinkling and
the use of sprayers.

dent occurred, together with G. B. Dunn, fire boss, O. G. Brooks, pillar boss,
and T. Tlnsley, superintendent. Messrs. Dunn and Brooks stated th^ had
warned deceased that piece of top coal was dangerous and to place a prop with-
out delay. Deceased could have stood in place of safety while wedging the
prop, but stood where it was dangerous and was caught. Questioned Juan
Serano, his working partner, who corroborated al>ove statement.
June 11, 1910, — Investigated conditions attending accident whereby John
Golik was killed, in No. 10 room, eighth entry. No. 2 mine. May 24, 1910. Pillar
was drawn and place caved. Superintendent and fire bosses stated that the top
coal and rock which fell had been marked ** dangerous " and for prop to be set.
They also stated that there were props at hand In the room. Tony Maxcy,
working partner of deceased, stated that the props were at the parting ^QO feet
distant, but that deceased knew the rock and coal was dangerous whoi he
started to work under it, in disobedience of mine rules.

Saturday night, lOG; shots fired, 103; shots missed, 8; percentage of shots
missed, 2.83. Pound that the electric lamps along more than a mile of traveling
way in the mine were nearly all broken by the men, through wanton malicious-
ness, because thoy are compelled to go in and out by the traveling way for their
own protection. No law to punish them. Inspected caved gobs in No. 2 mine,
where pillars had been drawn. Made tests on top of several of the gobs in
caved ground, but could find no indication of fire damp, using a Wolf safety
lamp. Also used the Jo Smith gob pump as an aid in making tests.
At room 20, eijjhth east entry off first north entry, the writer, with ESdmund
Thomas, mine Inspector of the Stag Cafion Fuel Company, crawled to the high-
est point attainable above the caved rock in the gob. Made repeated tests with
Wolf safety lamps; could not find any indication of foreign gas In mine air.
Then pushed up section after section of the Hnch gas pipe, 24 feet in all,
through openings between the rocks and the root at an angle of about 45*, when
further progress of the pipe was obstructed. After a few strokes of the pump
the following reaction was noted upon the. fiame of the Wolf safety lamp, the
flame of which had been lowered at a height of one-fourth Inch. Immediately
above the wick a bright blue flame, three-fourths Inch high, full slse of wick;
not a cap encircling top of lamp flame as given by fire da^p; above the blue

flame was a flame one-fourth Inch high, yellow, but slightly tinged with pink ;
above, and enveloping both of the flames described, was a cap, of a hazy gray
color, from 3 to 5 Inches high, closely resembling the cap produced by fire damp
In a safety lamp when the lamp Is filling with fire damp and about to flash;
but this mixture would not flash nor explode in the lamp. This mixture, if
forced into the lamp quickly, never failed (during repeated tests) to extinguish
the lamp. When the pump was worked slowly combustion was maintained in
the lamp, but the outer enveloping cap became more indistinct and disappeared,
leaving the blue flame and the yellow flame. The latter showed a more distinct
pink cap, while the blue flame became shorter with continued pumping.
An analysis of the mixture from the same place, previously made for COa and
GH«, by Mr. J. B. Merrow, chemist for the company, gave results as follows:
COt=0.40 ; CH4=0.86. This mixture with air would not preclude combustion
without the presence of other incombustible ga&
This mixture, giving the above-described reactions upon the lamp, is fre-
quently found when the top in the gob breaks up as ftir as a coal seam 10
inches in thickness, which is situated 15 to 30 feet above the Raton coal seam
in these measurea The coal of this smaller seam appears to carry a large
percentage of heavy hydrocarbons and can be lighted with a match like a
cannel coal.

the place not worked and conditions unchanged since accident. It was evident
that deceased was a careful miner, as his place was well timbered. The rock
which fell was a dome-shaped pot; It fell between timbers that were close as
could be expected in practical mining; it was about 21 feet thick and would
not have given signs of being loose if sounded. The accident might be classed
as almost unavoidable. Examined fire boss's daily report of fire damp found :

gT. U)UI8, BOOKY MOUNTAIN AND PACIFIC COMPANY'S MINES.
The St. Louis, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Company rants first
among the coal operators of New Mexico in production or coal during
the past fiscal year, the combined output of the mines at the camps of
Van Houten and Koehler amounting to 1,199,634 tons. It also ranks
first in area of coal lands under one ownership in New Mexico.
During the past year the life of the mines has been much length-
ened by the development of another coal seam hitherto neglected, if
known at all. This, the fourth workable seam developed in the field,
is known to extend under a large proportion of the company's coal
lands.
An approximate section of the coal measures, including the recently
developed seam, which has been named the Van Houten, is as follows:
A band of reddish sandstone marks the base of the coal measures.
Above this is found: Shiale and shaly sandstones, 6 to 20 feet; coal, 1
to 2 feet; shales and sandstones, 5 to 15 feet; the Raton coal seam, 4
to 14 feet thick; 455 feet of sandstones and shales; the Tin Pan
coal seam, 4 to 6 feet thick; 255 feet of sandstones and shales; the
Van Houten coal seam, 8 feet; 100 feet of sandstones and shales; the
Potato Canyon coal seam, with 5 feet 6 inches of clean coal.
Development work on the Potato Canyon coal seam during the past
year has proven it to be much better than quoted in these reports
heretofore. Instead of 2 feet 6 inches to 5 feet in thickness the de-
velopment has shown the seam to be 5 feet 6 inches clean coal. The
coal produced from each of the seams is an excellent coking and steam
coal and a good domestic fuel.
The mines operated during the past year at Van Houten and
Koehler are in the Raton seam, which ranges from 4 to 14 feet thick
in various parts of the workings. System of mining: Double entry,
room and pillar, robbing on retreat. Distance apart of cross entries,
800 feet Dimensions of principal openings: Main entries, 10 by 6
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
MINE INSPEOTOB FOB NEW MEXICO. 483
feet; main air courses, 10 by 6 feet; size of main entry pillars before
rooms are turned off cross entries (formerly 100 feet), increased to
800 feet under heavier cover ; size of pillars between entries and air
courses^ 50 feet: cross-entry pillars, 40 feet; length of rooms, 400
feet; distance of room centers, from 45 to 50 feet; average width of
rooms, 22 feet; length of room necks, 21 feet; width of room necks, 10
feet; average size of room pillars, 25 feet.
For humidifying and for protection against fire, pipe lines have
been installed in the mines, with 2-inch pipe in each pair of cross en-
tries and 1-inch pipe through crosscuts convenient to rooms. The
water is delivered under 50 pounds pressure.
Although little fire damp has ever been found in the Van Houten
or Koehler mines of this company, precautions are taken against any
increase, and fire bosses are employed who daily examine each work-
ing place and the mines throughout before men are allowed to enter
for work. Record books are kept which describe conditions found.
Shot firers, paid by the company, carefully inspect all holes drilled,
and if a hole is improperly placed the shot firer condemns it and it
is not loaded until defects are remedied The shot firers load all holes;
hence they can adjust the charges for their own safety and to avoid
dust explosions. Shots are fired once each day, when all persons are
out of the mine except shot firers. Only permissible explosives are
used and the holes are tamped with clay.
A competent mine inspector is constantly employed to see that safe
conditions are maintained within the mines and that proper ventila-
tion is maintained at all working places and where necessary through-
out the mines. Great care is exercised in the protection of employees,
and the percentage of fatalities to number of men employed during
the past three years compares favorably with the records of the best
appointed coal mines of the world.
YAK EOTTTEN mHE.
The Van Houten mine, in sees. 34 and 35, T. 30 N., R. 22 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian, is on a branch of the Atchison,

produced, having a value of $2.99 per ton at the ovens; total value,
$266,077.11, or a total value of coal and coke produced, $913,056.69.
In the earlier part of the year 254,676 pounds of black powder
were used; later the use of black powder was prohibited, ancT 23,825
pounds of monobel were used. An average or 324 miners, 99 com-
pany men, and 6 boys were employed underground, and 34 men and
3 boys outside ; a total of 466 persons employed immediately in op-
eration of the mines. Practically all nationalities, except Chinese,
were represented. As shown by signatures to vouchers 95 per cent
of the employees could write. The coal is sold in Arizona, Texas.
Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Mexico, and the coke
is shipped to the smelters of Arizona and Mexico. The following
railroads also draw on these mines for fuel supplies : Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway; Colorado and Southern RaUroad; El Faso

The Brilliant mine is in the NW. i sec. 8^ T. 81 K, R. 28 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian. This mine, which produces
both an excellent domestic coal and a ^ood coking coal, is located on a
4 to 6 foot seam locally known as vie ^^ Tin ^an," about 460 feet
higher in the coal measures than the Raton seam. The mine is owned

by the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Company. Extensive
developments were made and electric power installed just prior to
the business depression in 1907. Lack of demand caused a suspen-
sion of operations early in 1908, and, although the demand has in-
creased, tne development and increased output of the Van Houten
and Koehler mines rendered it imnecessary to work the Brilliant
mine until May^ 1910, when the company began to clean the main
entries. The mine was expected to be producing again by August,
1910.
DirroHXAV mHE.
The Dutchman mine, in sees. 16 and 17, T. 31 N., R. 23 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian, was fully described in tJie an-
nual report for 1906. The mine has not been operated for shipping
purposes since October 5, 1906, when work was suspended on account
of an explosion. Since that time, however, a workmg shaft has been
sunk about a mile from the original opening and everything put in
readiness for a large production when the market demands it. The
coal seam is 7 feet thick at the point where it is intersected by the
shaft. The mine is owned by the St. Louis, Eocky Mountain and
Pacific Company.
BirOABITE mvE.
The Sugarite mine is located on the west side of Chicorica Creek
and on the east slope of Bartlett mesa, about 3^ miles directly north-
east of Raton. The property is owned by the St. Louis, Rocky Moun-
tain and Pacific Company, and was operated under lease by the
Raton Fuel Company until February, 1910, when possession of the
property revertea to the owners, since which date it has not been
operated. The coal was hauled by wagon to the town of Raton,
N. Mex., where it was used for domestic and steam purposes. The
mine is upon the Raton coal seam; the product is a good grade of
bituminous coal ; thickness of vein, 5 feet, nearly horizontal ; sjrstem
of working, drift, cross entry, room and pillar; length of main drift,
1,200 feet
The former management refused to mve any data to this office,
and the figures below given are estimated. Average number of men
employed underground, 16 ; number of boys underground, 1 ; number
of men outside, 1; natural ventilation; number of days mine was
operated during fiscal year, 180; coal produced, 10,100 tons; esti-
mated value of output at mine, $17,675.

XHSTBXrOTIOHS TO 1EINSK8.
The following is a copy of instructions to miners issued by the
St, Louis, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Company :
1. No miner is allowed to enter any of the mines of this company without
permission of the fire boss or pit boss, and at no time shall he attempt to enter
the mine if mine gate is closed.
2. No miner, while in or al)out the mines, is allowed to have in his possession
any powder, fuse, caps, or other explosives.
8. No miner shaU enter any worthing place where a danger board has been
put up.
4. In mining, the miner shall mine or cut his coal, and no hole shall be
drilled beyond such mining or cutting.
The miner must see that his drill at all times is of sufficient size to maice a
hole large enough to admit the safety cartridges.
5. When leaving his room the miner must leave in front of each hole a suffi-
cient number of dummy cartridges filled with clay to properly fill the hole.
Olay for that purpose will be delivered by the company at convenient places
in the mine.
6. The miner will l>e charged by the company with the amount of powder,
fuse, and caps actually used in his worlcing place by the shot flrer.
7. The shot flrers are instructed not to fire any holes which do not conform
with these regulations.
These regulations are made to insure safety of life and property, and must
be strictly complied with.
The following instructions are also issued :
XHSTairoTiovs to shot fibebb.
1. All shot firers sfiall report to the pit boss of the mine to which they are
assigned and get his instructions before entering such mine.
2. Upon entering the mine the shot firers must close and lock the mine gates
and see that they remain so as long as they are in the mine.
8. The shot firers shall never charge or load any hole which, in his opinion,
would malce an unsafe shot, neither shall he fire any hole which has been
charged by the miner.
4. If a miner has left an insufficient number of dummy cartridges to properly
fill the hole, or if the cartridges are filled with any other substance than clay, or
if the hole drilled is too small to properly admit the safety cartridges, or if
the hole is not properly placed and drilled, so as to make a safe shot, the shot
firer shall not attempt to charge or fire such hole.
5. The shot flrer shall only use such explosives as are furnished him by the
company, and shall keep an accurate account in a book furnished him by the
company of the amount of powder, caps, and fuse actually used by him in each
working place.
6. After the shots in a working place have been fired, the shot firer shaU
examine said working place as quickly as possible and see whether the shooting
has left the working place in an unsafe condition, and if a shot has missed fire,
or If a working place should be in an unsafe condition, shot firer shall not return
to face, but shall put up a danger board, so that no one can enter the place with-
out seeing same. He shall also make report to the fire boss when he comes on
his shift And if shot still hangs fire when it is time for the miners to be al-
lowed to enter the mine fire l)088 shall not allow party who works in that place
to enter same. Shot firers to take care of conditions next evening when they
come on their shift
7. No explosives, caps, or fuse shall be left in the mine by the shot firers.
8. Shot flrers shall work in pairs as much as possible, and if it is necessary

LINCOLN COUNTY.
Several prospect slopes and shafts have been sunk in the coal
measures of Lincoln County during the past two. years in attempts
to open a^ mine that could ship coal at a profit. These efforts have
had but indifferent results. The area in which the coal measures
lie was first folded and faulted, afterwards much eroded, and still
later intersected by imeous dikes. At a yet later period extrusive
flows covered the coal measures and caused the deterioration of the
coal wherever exposed by erosion.
The igneous action has reduced the economic value of the coal
reserves of this section. There are considerable areas largely under-
lain with ooal, as between Three Rivers station and Walnut station
on the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad, a distance of 30 miles;
yet numerous drill holes, shafts, and slopes, sunk to exploit the coal
measures, have shown tnat the coal has been more or less coked,
either by intrusive sheets or sills below or extrusive flows above it
In a few instances isolated patches of marketable coal have been
found, but the probability of a large production from the coal fields
of this county is very remote.
OLD ABE MINE.
The Old Abe mine is located in the NW. i sec 6, T. 7 S., R. 13 E.,
New Mexico principal base and meridian. Thickness of coal seam,

in depth; entries, 250 to 300 feet in length. The mine is owned by
the Old Abe Company, which also operates a gold mine at White
Oaks, about 3^ miles distant. John Y. Hewitt is general manager
and A. N. Price superintendent of the coal mine. The number of
men employed underground was 4 ; number of men outside, 1 ; nation-

GRAY MINS.
The Gray coal mine is located in T. 9 S., R. 14 E., New Mexico
principal base and meridian. The mine was first opened about
twenty-five years ago to procure fuel for Fort Stanton. A slope
was sunk to a depth of 250 feet, but followed a line of disturbance
of the strata, and but little marketable coal was extracted, the mine
being closed and the old slope allowed to cave in and fill with ddbris
washed from the surface. In 1901 the Linderman Coal Company,
under the management of J. J. Blow, sunk a new slope to a depth oi
450 feet, but this slope followed the same line of disturbance of the
strata and but little coal was found, operation being soon suspended.
During the past fiscal year Mr. S. T. Gray sunk a new slope to a
depth of 250 feet, opening a promising seam of coal. Thiclmess of
coal, 3 feet 6 inches; angle of dip, about 8°. Statistical blanks sent
to the operator for data for this report were not returned. The fol-
lowing figures are estimated: Number of miners employed, 2; men
outsicfe, 1 ; number of days mine was operated, 60; MaI product. 250

McXINLBY COUNTY.
McKinley County ranks second among the coal-producing counties
of New Mexico, credited with 22.40 per cent of the gross production of
the Territory. The gross production of this county for the fiscal year
was 737,924.75 tons, an increase of 110,548.45 tons over the preceahig
year. The amount used in operating the mines was 16,874 tons ; net
product shipped to market, 721,050.75 tons; total value of coal
shipped to market, $1,202,747.31.
The coal is subbituminous and noncoking; it bums freely and does
not clinker and is in favor for domestic uses, commanding higher
prices for this purpose than the bituminous coals. It is used for
steam purposes on tne Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and
other railroads west of Albuquerque, N. Mex., and for manufacturing
and power plants throughout the Southwest.
The competition of the fuel oil of California has restricted the
output of the mines of McKinley County. It is probable that if this
competition were eliminated the production of coal from McKinley
County would be counted by millions of tons per annum.
The mines have been remarkably free from fire damp. Only two
instances of gas have been reported during the twenty-five years
that the mines have been operated, and in each instance a mere trace
of fire damp was found by a single witness. The writer has a stand-
ing reward of $25 for anv person who will discover fire damp in any
of the mines of the Gallup field or the Carthage field, the gaseous
mixture to be in sufficient quantity to be detected upon a Pieler lamp,
which will be used in makmg the test.
VICTTOR- AMERICAN FUEL COMPANY'S MINES.
The Victor- American Fuel Company owns nine mines, each of
which has been extensively developed, namely. Weaver, Heaton,
Navajo, Gallup, Clark, Catalpa, Thatcher, Otero, and Bartlett.
Eight workable coal seams are extensively developed in the various
mines of this company. Five coal seams, varying irom 4 to 8 feet in
thickness, have been developed in the upper coal measures through the
Gallup, Weaver, Heatoii, Navajo, and Clark mines. Three coal seams
of the lower coal measures, ranging in thiclmess from 3^ to 7 feet,
have been developed through the Catalpa, Otero, Thatcher, and Bart-
lett mines.
The mines operated are provided with systems of pipes for protec-
tion against fire; sprayers have been installed in the intake air courses,
and the mines are sprinkled at regular intervals; the water system
operates under gravity pressure of 100 pounds.
Five Westphalia helmet rescue apparatus, complete with recharg-
ing pump, etc., have been supplied during the past year; also invalid
stretcher, with pulmotor attacned, for bringing injured persons from
Digitized by VjQOQ IC
494 MIKB INSPBOTOB FOB NEW MEXICa
the mine, and a separate pulmotor to aid in resuscitating persons
where respiration is suspended.
Telephone lines to the extremities of the mines provide means of
conmiunication with the engine house, tipple, and offices at the
surface.
Shot firers are employed^ whose duties are to instruct miners, when
necessary, how to place their shot holes ; to oversee timbering of work-
ing place and look after the general safety of the men ; also to inspect
all snot holes and ignite shots if properly placed. If the holes are
dangerously placed they are condemned, ana any person is forbidden
to ignite the charges. Shots are fired when all others except shot
firers are out of the mines. The company provides clay for tamping,
which is kept at convenient places within tne mine.
The operator is using every endeavor to safeguard the employees at
the mines, has voluntarily made many improvements with that end
in view, and is always ready to respond to any suggestion for improv-
ing conditions of safety in and about the mines.
Comfortable houses are provided for employees at very reasonable
rents. Good water is furnished free. The various camps of the com-
pany are kept clean and the sanitary conditions are given careful at-
tention. A nospital, with modem equipment, is located centrally to
the operating mines; competent physicians and trained nurses care
for the inmates.
Large and commodious schoolhouses are provided by the company.
A new schoolhouse was erected by the company at the Weaver mine
during the past spring and summer at a cost of $8,000.
The mines operated by the company during the past year are the
Weaver^ Heaton, and Navajo. Five coal seams are worked through
these mines, designated by consecutive numbers in the order of occur-
rence from the surface.
The Weaver mine is located in the SE. J sec. 34, T. 16 N., R. 18 W.,
New Mexico principal base and meridian. The mine is opened by a
slope 3,900 feet in length, driven to the dip; dip of seam, 6 per cent;
direction N. 40** W.; system of worldng, double entry, room and
pillar; distance apart of cross entries, 450 feet; average height of
slope and main entries, 7 feet; average width, 9 feet; average height
of cross entries and air courses, 6 feet ; average width, 8 feet ; average
length of room necks, 20 feet; average width of room necks, 10 feet;
average length of rooms, 225 feet; average width of rooms, 21 feet;
distance apart of room centers, 45 feet. The mine is ventilated by a
Capell fan, 12 feet in diameter by 5 feet in widthj forcing an average
of 50,000 cubic feet of air per minute into the mme; water gage, 1.8
inches.
The coal is hauled by mules from the rooms to the partings inside
the mine, thence to the tipple by rope haulage. Steam and elec-
tricity both used for power purposes, and electricity for lighting.
Voltage of electric current, 250. The power for haulage, fan, deep-
well pump, box-car loaders, tipple, blower, and machine shop is fur-
nished by 7 engines, having a combined capacity of 750 horsepower.
Pumps are all electrically £:iven. The hoisting engine has a capacity
of 800 horsepower.

Four coal seams are opened in this mine, the workings being in
Nos. 2, 3, 8i, and 5 coal seams. The main slope, 8,950 feet in depth,
is in the T^o. 3^ coal seam ; the other coal seams are attacked through
tunnels driven from the No. 3^ seam across the strata ; the principal
development heretofore has been in the Nos. 3 and 3^ seams, but in
the near future No. 6 seam will become a heavy producer through the
Weaver slope.
In the Gallup mine, which adjoins the Weaver mine, a slope has
been sunk to a aepth of 5,000 feet on No. 5 seam, whose average thick-
ness is 6 feet. Fully 3,000,000 tons had been opened when a fire in
the upper levels attacked the slope and operations were suspended.
The slope was thoroughly bulkheaded below the fire, walling it oflf
from the developed coal. The fire is now extinguished, and this great
body of coal can be mined through the crosscut tunnel from the lower
workings of the Weaver mine.
During the year a new fan shaft was sunk, through which the
ventilating current is brought into the mine about 2,000 feet inside
of mouth of fan drift through which the air formerly entered the
mine. By the introduction oi the air at the new fan shaft all danger
of fire from the burning areas nearer outcrop is averted.
The Weaver mine was operated 261.7 days during the past fiscal
year, and 168 miners, 40 company men, and 2 boys, a total of 210
persons, were employed undergroimd ; 25 men and 5 boys were em-
ployed outside at the mine. The employees included practically all
European nationalities, together with negroes, Mexicans, Japanese,
and Americans. Gross production, 272,845 tons; amount used in
operating the mine, 11,304 tons; net product shipped to market.
261,541 tons ; average price per ton at the mine, $1.75 ; total value oi
product shipped, $457,696.75.
The coal was shipped via the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road and connecting railroad lines to Caliiomia and Pacific coast
markets, and to various points in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas.

January 12, 1910. — Investigated accident whereby Porfldlo Garcio and Julian
Rodrlquez were asphyxiated by smoke from fire in Weaver mine, December
22, 1909. Found that the men were working in the second right entry, nearest
entry to surface operated. These men were the first called out by the boss
driver, Jack Hamilton. The deceased started out with the other men in this
entry, but returned for some wearing apparel. Supposing that every person
from this entry had gone out, the mine officials proceeded to call out the men in
the entries below. When deceased again tried to come out the fan had been re-
versed and they were overcome while traveling the return.

January 17, 1910, — Investigated conditions at pillar in room U, fourth left
straight entry, No. 3 coal seam, about 5,500 feet inside of mouth of slope, in
Weaver mine, where Tony Petrovitch was killed by fall of rock last Saturday
afternoon. Questioned Luigi De Drossi^ the principal witness, who works in
No. 6 room. He stated he had been in deceased's room at 9.30 a. m., Saturday,
January 15, 1910, and had warned deceased that the rock which fell was dan-
gerous and to take it down or prop it up. Deceased replied that he did not
have a saw to cut the prop with. De Drossi offered to procure one for him
if he would come to De Drossi's room. At 1.30 p. m. De Drossi returned to
deceased's room and found the dead body under the rock, which had falleiL
January 18, 1910, — Investigated conditions at fire in Weaver mine. Fire
walled off from main intake airway by walls of solid masonry from 4 to 6
feet thick. Went inside of fire walls; live coals were dropping from above
into the space where John Jennings, superintendent, and I were crouched,
showing that the fire was still burning above, in dangerous proximity to the
main intake air course; probably driven back in that direction by strong
wind ^entering from caved opening to the surface, about 45 feet distant Water
was turned up into burned area through hose by John Jennings, superintendent
The caved opening to surface is being filled as quickly as possible to shut off
air from fire. Day and night guards kept watching intake air course in Tidnity
of the fire.
January tO, 1910. — Investigated conditions at fire in Weaver mine. Found
great volume of smoke and steam issuing from the large hole caved to the
surface ; this hole being filled as quickly as possible. Some live coals dropping
occasionally inside of fire walls and close up to wall. Water being turned on
fire from opening to surface and also Inside of fire wall. Day and night guards
watching to have fan reversed in event fire shows indication of breaking
through around fire walls. A new shaft is being sunk, 2,000 feet inside of fire,
for a main intake air course, and the burning area will be cut off from the mine
by a series of walls.
January 22, 1910, — Investigated conditions at fire in Weaver mine. Found
considerable smoke and steam emitting from caved hole to surface; hole now
partially filled, but smoke 'and steam exuding through the earth and rocks
with which it has been filled ; more earth being thrown into hole. Went b^ind
fire walls with John Jennings, superintendent; found considerable smoke, but
no fire in sight. Day and night guards in intake air course. New intake air
shaft will be 126 feet deep; it is now sunk 26 feet from surface and raised 37
feet from below, 63 feet completed. When completed the burning area will be
completely walled off and danger from the fire will be very slight
January 24, 1910, — Went to Weaver mine. Behind fire walls, 6 feet inside,
found fire. Gave necessary instructions.
March 15, 1910. — Investigated conditions at fire in Weaver mine. Found new
fon shaft completed and fan in operation 1,600 feet ahead of mouth of main
slope and the same distance from the fire, diverting ventilating current trom
vicinity of fire; three substantial stone and cement walls built at intervals be-
tween the old traveling way and the fire. Some COa venting into manway from
the fire through Jointings of the strata. Instructed that a small outgoing ven-
tilating current be kept in manway to remove COa, that the manway might be
used in case of emergency.
March 17, 1910, — Investigated conditions at place where Mike Cemic, a miner
working in No. 5 coal seam, on March 6, 1010, ignited and fired a shot on the
solid, which resulted in a blown-out shot, whereby the said Mike Gemic and
Henry Greenwood, a driver, were very seriously burned.
Mike Cemic was working in a raise entry on No. 5 coal seam, which was
being driven toward the outcrop from a point at>out 1,650 feet from the mouth
of the mine. He had made a cutting 10 feet in depth along the right side of
the entry, and then drilled a hole near the left side of the entry and at an
angle of about 35*" from the entry into the rib, the hole being 5 feet in depth.
The mouth of the drill hole was about 5 feet from the outer point of the cut-
ting on the right, and the bottom of the drill hole was about 7 feet 9 inches
from the nearest point of the cutting, giving the hole a grip of that amount
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
MINE INSPECTOR FOB NEW MEXICO. 497
Oernic claimed tbat he charged the hole with 18 inches of black powder, bat
it was thought probable by those who witnessed the results of the explosion
that he had placed a much heavier charge in the hole. The explosion traveled
oatward to the parting on No. 81 seam, about 500 feet distance. En route it
passed by another entry about 36 or 40 feet distant from the shot hole. Cemic
had gone into this entry to be out of the line of the force of the heavily bur-
dened shot but he was very severely burned. Oontinuing in a course toward
No. 31 senm. and at a point about 15 feet before reaching the parting at the
Junction with No. 31 seam, Henry Greenwood, a driver, was very severely burned,
and the two mules he was driving were so badly burned as to cause their death.
Indications of the explosion were trivial beyond this point, although con-
ditions were far more favorable for a violent dust explosion than in the locality
where the explosive condition was maintained. Where the explosion ceased,
at the parting where empty mine cars are delivered from the surface and loaded
cars put on the rope to be transported to the surface, the roadways were covered
with coal dust nnd were quite dry. The area was large, air comparatively
fresh, nnd conditions favorable to the extension of the explosion. By one of
those eccentricities peculiar to dust explosions it ceased at this point
At the place where the blown-out shot initiated the explosion, apart from the
combustion of the crushed coal and dust from the blown-out shot, all conditions
were such as to prevent or retard a dust explosion.
In crosscutting the strata into and through the intervening lower strata be-
twe^i No. 81 seam and No. 5 seam, a great part of the crosscut was through
sandstones and shales, and the floor was covered with broken and crushed rock
and shale for the greater part of the distance traveled by the explosion ; there
were three small pools of water on the floor within 850 feet from the shot hole.
and the locality was quite humid, as shown by the condensed moisture on the
sides, top, and floor. It wodld appear, from the general indications that the
coal dust emitted from the blown-out shot was the principal fuel consumed in
the explosion, and that little if any were derived from the floor or sides of the
oitries, as dampened and comminuted shale and rock predominated throughout
the crosscut where the explosion traveled.
That there was a considerable degree of violence developed was shown by
the blowing out of a loose-laid rock stopping backed by about 1 foot of fine
waste rock filling behind it in a small crosscut about 300 feet from the shot
hole. Mike Cemic knew that the hole was overburdened and would be diffi-
cult to break, and it is probable he put an extra large charge of powder into
the hole. He then tamped the hole with slack and drillings, although clay
for tamping was provided and placed a short distance away; but he did not
care about taking precautions, or did not want to be seen getting the tamping,
as he would be stopped from igniting the shot if seen by anyone in authority.
Being Sunday, there were only about 50 men in the mine, instead of the usual
number, 210. The time was nearly noon, and the pit boss and superintendent
had left the mine but a few minutes before, and did not intend to return that
day, as the mine would not be operated in the afternoon. It appeared evident
that Cemic knew he had a dangerous shot, and he believed that the shot firers
would condemn it He was probably also awace that the bosses had left the
mine and knew that the miners were going out about that time, and he took
the risk of shooting the dangerous shot rather than have it condemned. Here
was an Instance of a very narrow escape from a dust explosion that would
probably have cost 50 lives through the willful and premeditated breach of the
mine rules. Shot firers, paid by the company, are supposed to examine
shots and ignite all that are approved; and miners are positively prohibited
from igniting any shots. But there is no law by which a miner can be pun-
ished for such grossly criminal conduct.
The men burned were in the hospital about a month; when sufficiently
recovered, Henry Greenwood, the innocent victim of a comrade's criminal
negligence, was given an easy Job until he was sufficiently recovered to per-
form his regular duties, while Cemic was discharged and went his way to
endanger the lives of others, without fear of punishment under the inefficient
law which is supposed to be "for protection of lives of miners in the
Territories."
March 18, IP 2(7.— Inspected mine. Air intake from fkn, measured at stone

balance of air loBt through caved ground on third and fourth right entries,
after passing the men. Found that most of the miners are trayellng the main
■lope. Instructed that refuge holes be constructed at intervals of 50 feet;
that the refuge holes have flaring sides to allow air to circulate through them
to carry off COi that might escape from old Gallup mine fire through rock
joints into refuge, and that refuge be whitewashed.
April 9, 1910. — Inspected ground in locality of fires in mine, and also fire
walls and new air course from old No. 1 opening, which forms second opening
or escapeway from the mine. Found that the company has employed an
Inspector to examine fire walls at intervals during the day, and who is also
responsible for safe conditions within the mine and who will instruct miners
in matters pertaining to their safety. In company with Mr. William McDer-
mott, general superintendent of the Victor-American Fuel Ck>mpany'8 mines
at Gibson, N. Mex., and Mr. John Jennings, superintendent of the Weaver
mine, I examined the fire wall and made tests of the atmosphere immediately
at the fire wall, al>out 800 feet inside of mouth of old No. 1 main entry of
Weaver mine. When lamp with normal working flame was carried near or
at the bottom of the entry, the flame became smaller, giving Indicationa of
GOa; when raised to 4 feet 6 inches above the floor a bHght blue flame appeared
about one-half inch high above the wick, with a yellow flame 11 inches high
above the blue flame. There was a decided line of demarcation between the
blue and yellow flames, the blue flame having the form of a truncated cone,
and the yellow flame above representing the upper section of the same cone.
I called the attention of Messrs. McDermott and Jennings to the beautiful
blue flame, its extraordinary height and peculiar shape, and the horLEcmtal
plane separating it from the yellow flame above.
Repeated tests were made by lowering and raising the lamp, raising it to the
top of the entry near the flre wall and behind a timber across the top of the
entry. The peculiar results obtained were so interesting that the mine inspec-
tor lost sight of the danger from which he was endeavoring to protect othersi,
and continued the investigation beyond the limit of safety to himself. Shortly
after leaving the mine he was attacked with nausea, together with severe pains
and a feeling of great congestion at the base of the brain.* The pain, nausea,
and congested feeling lasted fully forty hours after the tests made in the mine.
There were positive symptoms of poisoning by CO.
May 24, 1910, — Investigated conditions at place of accident wherd)y Gasper
Cronovich was killed on 18th instant, in room 28, No. 81 entry. Found that
place had not been worked nor disturbed since the accident Saw piece of rock
6 feet long by 4 feet wide and from 4 to 14 inches thick which had fallen upon
deceased. Two props lying under the rock indicated that the props had been
set in place under the rock while it was in the roof; deceased was trying to
wedge down a piece of rock alongside when the piece which fell swung the props
around and fell, catching him beneath. The place was very well timbered and in-
dicated that deceased was a careful miner. It is probable that if crossbars had
be«i put up instead of props the piece of rock would not have fallen upon him ;
but it was an accident for which little if any blame could be placed upon any-
one, as deceased had his place timbered in such a manner as would have be&k
considered safe by any person skilled in mining. Inspected mine. Fan (force),
150 revolutions per minute, electrically driven. Air intake, 46,740 cubic ffeet
per minute; air well distributed. Number of persons underground, 207, includ-
ing 175 miners, 10 company men, 20 drivers, and 2 boys; also 30 mules. Air
return through main slope, 24,485 cubic feet per minute; balance of air lost
through caved ground.
June 27, 1910, — Inspected mine. Air intake, measured area, 88 square feet,
at rock wall about 500 feet inside fan shaft, 47,120 cubic feet per minute; fSan
(force), 150 revolutions per minute. Miners, 168; company men, 40; boys, 2;
total 210 persons underground ; also 32 mules. Air return through main slope,
30,385 cubic feet per minute. Mine in good condition. In company with Mr.
William McDermott, general superintendent Victor-American Fuel Company's
mines at Gibson, and John Jennings, superintendent Weaver mine, I made tests
of atmosphere outside of flre walls in old No. 1 main entry. I got substantially
same reaction on flame of lamp as at former test (made April 9 last), namely,
a bright blue flame in the form of a truncated cone f inch high immediately
above lamp wick, and above this flame a yellow flame li inches high. This
reaction was diown from the middle of the entry up to where a timber was across
top of eaitry. When the lamp was raised nearly or quite level with l^e bot-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
ICINE INSPECTOB FOB NEW MEXICO. 499
torn of this timber or behind a third flame appeared; a conical yellow flame
t to t inch high above wick of lamp and within the blue flame. When first
observed it seemed to be an optical illusion — the reflection of the upper yellow
flame — ^bnt upon closer observation it was seen to be within the blue flame just
above the wick. This third flame appeared instantaneously when the lamp
was raised to a certain elevation, about 5 feet 6 inches from the floor, where
the diffusion was obstructed by the timber across the top of the entry. The
experiment of lowering the lamp and raising it up to the timber was repeated
many times and always with the same almost instantaneous result of a third
flame when raised to a position between the timber and the flre walls. When
the small yellow flame within the blue flame was flrst seen it appeared to be
between the blue flame and the observer, as if an aperture had been made in
the top of the fount of the lamp between the wick tube and the glass on the
side next the observer, and the volatilized naphtha of the lamp were ignited at
this aperture, making a separate flame. The mine inspector said to Mr.
McDermott, " See the little yellow flame separate from the lamp flame." Mr.
McDermott corrected the above statement, saying, "No, it is inside the blue
flame." On raising the lamp between the timber and the flre wall the yellow
flame within the blue flame grew larger and longer, encroaching on and obliter-
ating the blue flame and flnally merging with the yellow flame above the blue,
making one yellow flame fully 8 inches or more high, and no blue flame. When
the lamp was dropped to the proper elevation the blue flame reappeared.
Identical results were obtained in repeated tests.
We have here to consider the following iDeculiar conditions: First, the clear
blue flame next to the wick of the lamp, which flame was cut olT by a horizontal
plane from the yellow flame above; second, the great similarity of the yellow
flame that appeared within the blue flame to the yellow flame above it The
two yellow flames were identical in color and merged Into one and obliterated
the blue flame when the lamp was raised behind the timber. This would indi-
cate that the combinations of gas in combustion in the lower yellow flame and
the upper yellow flame were somewhat similar. Third, the gas which was
indicated by the yellow flame within the blue flame was evidently stratified at
the point where the timber across the top of the entry impeded the motion of
the atmosphere and consequently retarded diffusion.
EEATOH HIKE.
The Heaton mine, in sec. 35, T. 16 K, R. 18 W., New Mexico
principal base and meridian, is opened by a slope, 2,600 feet in depth,
1,200 feet of which is driven from the surface on the No. 2 coal seam.
The No. 8 seam was exploited at and above this depth and a large
amount of coal extracted. From the 1,200-foot level the slope was
driven at an angle of dip greater than that of the coal measures
until the No. 8i seam was intersected at about 1,500 feet from the
pit mouth. From that point and below extensive development has
been done upon the No. 3^ seam. The same syst^n of working as
described in the Weaver mine also obtains in the Heaton mine. The
mine is ventilated by a Crawford & McCrimmon fan, 14 feet diameter
by 4 feet wide, forcing air, but reversible; electrically driven, but
auxiliary steam engine in reserve for emergencies. A sprinkling
system is maintained by means of pipes throughout the workings.
Average number of miners employed, 150 ; company men, 31 ; boys,
4; total number of persons underground, 185; men emploved out-
side at the mine, 30 ; Doys, 3 ; total outside at the mine, 33. "the mine
was operated 262.8 days during the year; gross product, 266,925 tons;

in the mine, Nos. 1, 2, 8, and 5. The main slope followed No. 2 coal
seam of the upper coal measures to a depth of about 1,236 feet, where
a down- throw fault brought the No. 1 seam into juxtaposition with
the face of the slope. The slope was then continued on the No. 1
seam to a total depth of 2,300 leet This is the only mine in which
the No. 1 or No. 2 seams have been developed in recent years. At a
depth of about 2,000 feet a crosscut was run into the foot wall strata
to the intersection of No. 6 seam, which is being exploited from that
point. The mine was operated 276.3 days during the fiscal year.
Eiffhty-five miners and 24 company men were employed underground,
and 26 men outside at the mine. Gross product, 132,278 tons; amount

The Gallup mine, owned by the Victor- American Fuel Company
and located at Gibson, in sees. 33 and 34, T. 16 N., R. 18 W., New
Mexico principal base and meridian, was fully described in the an-
nual report for 1906. This mine has not been operated since the
early part of 1904, on account of a fire which bumea in the old aban-
doned working for many jrears. It is believed the fire is now ex-
tinguished, "file several mines named above on which operations
are suspended will probably resume operations as soon as the demand
for coal justifies.

broken ; no means of oral communication between bottom of shaft and surface.
I will make special communication and complaint to the Secrettary of the
Interior, as required by law.
January 24, 1910. — Interviewed Stephen Canavan, owner and operator Cana-
van shaft mine ; tried to persuade him to improve conditions at air shaft in said
mine and to repair telephone. Received only evasive and indefinite replies as
to whai he would make improvements. He claims the record of the mine for
few accidents should be satisfactory, and that there is no real necessity for
improvements suggested. Inspected Canavan air shaft; found it in bad con-
dition, as shown by correspondence in the instruction to Canavan.
March 16, 1910. — Inspected Canavan mine. Air intake, 7,000 cubic feet per
minute. Fan, 48 revolutions per minute ; fan running at slow speed on account
of men in fan shaft, making repairs and constructing stairway, as per instruc-
tions issued by United States mine inspector, the Secretary of the Interior, and
the governor of New Mexico. Air return to main shaft could not be approxi-
mately measured, as it enters shaft through entries on 3 sides and escapes
into shaft through open ground on top of entries. Fourteoi miners, 10 company
men and drivers, total 24 persons, and 2 mules underground. Found much
improvement in conditions since last visit of inspection.
March 24, 1910. — En route from Heaton mine to Gallup, N. Mex., stopped at
Canavan shaft to learn progress upon stairway in air shaft and timbering
shaft as per instruction issued by the Secretary of the Interior. Found that
two shifts are employed upon the work and that it will probably be completed
within time limit. Will return at end of time limit and inspect completed work.

depth; found shaft retimbered, stairway completed, except handrail, which
is being put up and will probably be completed within forty-eight hours. Tele-
phone in working order. Wrote W. J. Mills, governor of New Mexico, advising
that no further action be taken in the matter at present. The installation of
improvements was not completed within the time limit, partly because of the
difficult in enlarging the shaft

CA8NA MINE.
The Casna mine is in the SW. i sec. 18, T. 15 N., R. 18 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian^ about 2 miles west of Gallup.
The Diamond Coal Company, compnsed of residents of Arizona and
New Mexico, is the owner of the property: W. J. Patching, Gallup,
N. Mex., general manager. The coal is suobituminous ; an excellent
domestic fuel; thickness of coal seam, 5 feet; system of working,
slope, double entry, room and pillar. It is probable that the mine may
be operated through a shaft in future. Length of slope, 1,700 feet;
dip of coal seam, 4°. Ventilation and escape way through two shafts.
The mine was not operated for production of coal during the past
fiscal year, but considerable work was done upon development and
surface equipment. New dwelling houses were erected for the use
of employees, and a railroad spur was built from the mine to the
main line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Kailroad. The mine
is now equipped to become one of the large producers of the district.
ENTEBPRISE MINE.
The Enterprise mine is in sec. 10, T. 15 N., R. 18 W., New Mexico
Principal base and meridian. The mine, which is owned by Brown
brothers, is located on the Black Diamond coal seam of tne lower
coal measures. The main drift entry has attained a length of 950
feet on the 3 per cent dip of the seam. Svstem of working, double
entry, room and pillar. Thickness of coal seam, 5i feet. Ventila-
tion by furnace.
The mine was operated 154 days during the j^ear; number of
miners employed, 7; day men underground, 3; outside, 1; total and
net output for the year, 4,166 tons; estimated value of product at
the mine, $7j291.81. The coal was sold in New Mexico, Arizona,
and Caliiornia.
NAVAJO SCHOOL MINB.
This mine, heretofore reported to this office as the United States
Government mine, is located on unsurveyed lands near the dividing
line of Tps. 17 and 18 N., R. 19 W., New Mexico principal base and
meri(Uan, or in T. 1 N., R. 4 W., Navajo line and meridian. The
mine, which supplies fuel for the agency, is operated under the direc-
tion of Peter Paquette, superintendent of the Navaio Indian Agency
and schools at Fort Defiance, Ariz., about 9 miles distant. The coal
seam is supposed to be the same as the one operated at St. Michaels
mine. Its details are similar^ except that it dips about 3° E. Thick-
ness of coal seam, 5 feet 10 inches; length of main slope entry, 150
feet. The mine was operated 60 days during the year, 3 Americans
and 1 Navajo Indian being employed. Net product, 800 tons; esti-
mated value at the mine, at $2 per ton, $1,600.
ZXTNI RESERVATION MINE,
The Zuni Reservation mine is operated by the United States Gov-
ernment to supply fuel at the Black Rock Indian Agency and is under
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
606 HINB INSPBOTOB FOB NBW ICBXIOa
the control of William J. Oliver, superintendent of the agency. Hie
mine is situated in T. 11 N., R. 17 W., New Mexico prmcipal base
and meridian. The coal seam belongs to the Grallup coal measures,
and is frcHn 1 foot 6 inches to 3 feet in thickness, practically hori-
zontal. The coal is black lignite of good quality.
The mine was operated 100 days during the year, 1 Italian and 1
Zuni Indian being employed; net product, 500 tons: estimat^ni value
at the mine, $760. The mine is developed by two drift entries con-
nected at the interior end, furnishing means of escape and ventilaticm.
ST. MICHAEIiS MINK.
The St. Michaels mine is in T. 16 N., R. 20 W.,New Mexico principal
base and meridian. It is situated on lands owned by the Santa Fe
Pacific Railway and is operated by permission of the railway com-
pany under direction of Friar Anselm Weber, in charge of the St
Michaels Indian School and Mission, 7 miles from the mine. The
coal seam belongs to the jQallup series, and the writer believes it to be
in the lower measures. The seam is 6 feet thick. A thin parting of
shale 2 feet 6 inches from the bottom is not constant, and the seam
may be said to show 6 feet of clefui coal. It appears to be a stronger
coal than that mined near Gallup and is probably the same as is worked
in the Navajo School mine by the Umted States Indian agency at
Fort Defiance for fuel for that agtocy. The bed lies practically hori-
zontal. The mine is worked through a drift entry 260 feet long, and
a second opening has been made. The mine is worked a few weeks
each year. One American miner is employed, with 1 Navajo Indian,
who pushes the car out to the coal chute. The production is 150 tons
per annum, valued at about $2 per ton at the mine; total value of
product, $300.
BIO ABBTBA COTTNTY.
The coal mines of Kio Arriba County were in a comparatively
dormant condition during the past fiscal year. The total coal pro-
duction of the county was 18,850 tons, or 4,071 tons more than in
the preceding year. A considerable area is underlain by 2 seams
of good bituminous coal. The lower seam is from 2 feet 8 inches to
4 feet ttdck; the upper seam varies from 3 feet 6 inches to 6 feet in
thickness. The coal will make a good grade of coke; and there is
every reason to believe that this field will be thorourfily exploited
upon the completion of the new Arizona & Colorado Railroad, now
being built by Southern Pacific Railroad interests. This new Ihie
will furnish a shorter haul for coal from the coal mines in San Juan
County, and for coal and coke from the mines in the vicinity of
Monero, Rio Arriba County, than between other coal mines and the
smelting plants of Arizona, where much of the coke produced in
New Mexico is consumed.
The wearing out of equipment and neglect to renew it caused a
suspension of operation m the lower working of the mines. The
mines have been worked in a desultory wav during the past fiscal year
by a few miners who paid the owners of the property royalties for
the privilege of mining from shallow excavations near the surface.

RIO ARRIBA COAL COMPANY'S MINES.
The Monero mine is in the NE. i sec. 18, and the McBroom mine
in the SE. J sec. 17, T. 81 N., K. 1 E., New Mexico principal base and
meridian. These two mines were described in the annual report for
1906. These mines were formerly the largest producers in the
county, but during the past two years have oeen worked intermit-
tently by individual miners, who received occasional orders for a
carload or two of coal, which was supplied from shallow openings.
Upon the occasion of the mine inspector's visit, on November 16,
1909j these mines were not being operated, and no returns of pro-
duction or otiier statistics have been made to this office during the
past fiscal year.
BURNS-BIGGS LUMBER COMPANY MINE.
The Burns-Biggs Lumber Company's mine is located in the SE. J
SE i sec. 8, T. 31 N., R. 1 W., New Mexico principal base and
meridian. The mine is operated to supply fuel to the railroad which
transports the lumber from the coinpany's sawmills, at El Vado,
N. Mex., to the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad at Lumberton, N. Mex.
The railroad is about 88 miles in length and is known as the Denver
& Soutiiwestem Railroad. The mine is operated under contract by
Barney Carrantha. The coal seam is 82 mches in thiclmess, dean
coal ; dip of seam, 6^ SW. It is a bituminous coal of the same quality
as found in the other mines of the Amar^o coal measures, and makes
a ffood coke. The mine is operated^ by me dope, single entry^ room
and pillar system. The main slope is 600 feet m depth. Ventilation
is by furnace. Average number of men employed underground,' 7;
outside, 2 ; number of days mine was operated during the year, 240 ;
net product, 5,600 tons; estimated value at mine, at $2 per ton,
$11,000.

ANOEL MINB.
The Angel mine, near the railroad station at Monero, is in T. 81
N., R. 1 E., New Mexico principal baseband meridian. It was opened'
and operated twentv years ago by the San Luis CJoal Company, but
has been idle xintil the past year, when it was worked under a royalty
by A. Luchetti. The seam is the upper bed of the Monero or Amargo
coal measures, and is opened in a hill or mesa on the west of Amargo
Creek by a drift entry driven 300 feet to the raise at an angle of 7*.
Thickness of coal seam, 3 feet; price per ton paid for mining, $1;
ventilation by furnace. Number underground miners, 13 ; company

m operation on the date of the last visit to the camp by the United
States mine inspector. The mine is operated intermittently as orders
for coal may be received.
LAING MINE.
The Laing mine lies in T. 31 N., R. 1 E., New Mexico principal
base and meridian, about IJ miles from Monero station, on the Den-
ver and Rio Grande Railroad. This mine is located upon the lower
seam of the Amargo coal measures. The seam is 3 feet 8^ inches in
thickness, but is banded with shale and sandstone; dip of seam, about
6® southwest. The bed is a good bituminous coal, ana will make good
coke. There are supposed to be two other coal seams in this ground,
as in the Monero and Kutz mines. The mine was not operated dur-
ing the past fiscal year.

The Sloan mine is located in what is called the Coyote field, bein^
about half way between the Hagan mines and the Pinavititos coal
field. The same series of coal seams as are found in the Hagan mine
extend into and through the CJoyote field. The mine is ownSi by the
Sloan Coal Company. The property has been opened by a slope
about 200 feet in depth. The coal seam is about 7 feet in thickness.
Little work has been done on this property for the last five years.
SAN JXTAN COXTNTT.
A large part of the area embraced in San Juan County is under-
lain by thick beds of subbituminous coal. These coal measures
extend from a point 40 miles south of Gallup, N. Mex., to the Colo-
rado line and De;^ond ; descriptions of the many coal outcrops of this
field were given in former annual reports.
The projected branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, known as
the Arizona and Colorado Railroad, will traverse these coal areas
throughout the greater part of their length from north to south.
Preliminary work is being carried forward with great diligence.
It is safe to assume that within two years the coal from the San Juan
fields will find an outlet to the markets of the Southwest in Arizona,
California, and Meidco.
LA PLATA MINB.
The Le Plata mine, in the NE. i sec 32 N., R. 13 W., New Mexico
principal base and meridian, was fully described in the annual

ago.
STEVENS MINB.
The Stevens mine is located in sec. 4, T. 29 N., R. 16 W., New
Mexico principal base and meridian, about 2^ miles from Fruitland.
The nearest railroad point is Farmington, N. Mex., 12 miles distant
by wagon road. This mine is upon the line of the projected new
railroad mentioned above. The coal is subbituminous ; thickness of
seam, 12 feet, 10 feet of which is clean ; nearly horizontal. System of
wortang, drift entry, room and pillar. Extent of workings: Main
drift, 250 feet; right entry, 250 feet; left entry, 250 feet. Four men

was operated one hundred and forty-two days during the year; total
production, 833 tons; price per ton, $1.50 at the mine; total value,
|l^50. The product is sold in the towns of Fruitland and Farm-
ington and to farmers of the San Juan Valley. The mine was not
operated after May 1, 1910, due to flooding of mine by leakage from
an irrigation ditch above.

BLANCHAKD MINE.
The Blanchard properties consist of Aine coal claims in sees. 28,
82, 33, and 34, T. 30 N., R. 15 W., New Mexico principal base and
meridian. About $5,000 has been expended on development work at
these properties. The coal seam is supposed to be the same as that
openea in the Stevens mine.
SAN MIGUEL COUNTY.
Considerable prospecting for coal has been done at divers places
throughout the county during the past fifteen years, but thus far the
developments have failed to produce coal in sufficient quantity to
warrant the installation of transportation facilities, and the mines
have not shipped any of the product to market.
PECOS MINE. '
The Pecos coal mine is located in the E. ^ sec. 5, T. 16 N., R. 12 E.,
New Mexico principal base and meridian. It lies in the northwest-
ern part of San Miguel County, N. Mex. A ^ood wagon road leads
from the mine t<j Glorieta station, on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway, a distance of about 10 miles. The coal is a good quality
of bituminous and makes excellent coke; thickness of seam, 3 feet;
dip, 5°. System of working, single cross entry, room and pillar;
depth of main slope, 273 feet; natural ventilation. This mine has
not been operated for several years. While all the other coal meas-
ures of New Mexico are of Cretaceous age, those of the Pecos occur in
limestones, presumably of Carboniferous age.
EL POBVENIR MINE.
The El Porvenir mine is in sees. 12 and 13, T. 17 N., R. 14 E., New
M^ico principal base and meridian, on the Las Vegas grant, and
about 8 miles from Las Vegas, the nearest railroad station. Pros-
pecting with a diamond drill has shown encouraging results. No
coal has yet been marketed.
OOWLES MINE.
The location of this mine is probably in T. 18 N., R. 12 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian. The mine opening is at an
altitude of 7,875 feet above sea level.
The coal seam occurs in calcareous shales, presumably of Carbon-
iferous age; thickness of seam, 1 foot; dip, 1° ; direction, N. 70° W.
It is opened by a drift entry, in the direction of the dip, 320 feet
in length.
The property was operated by the Pecos Copper Company (O. W.
Alexander, superintendent in charge) to supply blacksmitn coal at
the copper mine, about half a mile distant. The bituminous coal
is of inferior quality, high in sulphur and apparently in ash. The
mine was not operated during the past year and it is not probable
that it will ever be worked to any great extent

SANTA TE COUNTY.
The coal mines of Santa Fe County have exhibited gratifying
activity during the past fiscal year. The production, as reported by
the mine oi)erators, was 62,352 tons, an increase of 28,851.7 tons, or
86 per cent increase over the estimated output for the preceding fiscal
year. The demand for the coal was greater than the output, pro-
duction being restricted by the limited capacity of the mines and a
scarcity of miners.
The major part of the coal production of this county is derived
from the mines at Madrid^ N. Mex., where both anthracite and bitu-
minous coals are found within a few hundred feet of each other in
the same coal seam. Eight coal seams, ran^ng from 1 foot 4 inches
to 5 feet 5 inches in thickness, have been shown by shafts and drill
holes, but the principal development has been upon the Lucas or
White Ash seam ana upon the C!ook and White seam, the larger
seams in the field.

CEBRILLOS ANTHRACriE MINE.
This mine, formerly known as the Lucas mine, is located at the
town of Madrid, N. Mex., in T. 14 N., R. 7 E., New Mexico principal
base and meridian. The mine is onerated by the Albuquerque and
Cerrillos Coal Company. A first-class anthracite coal is produced,
the demand for which exceeds the present capacity of the mine, A
new slope is being sunk, known as No. 4 slope, which has attained

a depth of 1,450 feet; avera^ dip, 15®; this slope will develop a
hitherto unproven area and add considerably to the life of the mine,
as the development thus far indicates. System of mining: Rooms are
turned off main slope alternately on either side, 50 feet apart; the
room necks are driven 75 feet, crossing manways and air courses
parallel to main slope, before widening the rooms; width of rooms,
25 feet; length of rooms, 400 feet. The coal is shot off the solid,
88.000 poimds of black powder beins used during the jear. The shot
holes are stemmed or tamped with slack and coal cuttings, the miners
firing their own shots.
The old workings adjoining vented considerable volumes of CH^
in the lower workings at a depth of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet, and it is
probable that this opening will prove as gaseous as the mine adjacent
as depth is attained. A fire boss inspects the mine before the men are
allowed to enter. The following rule is in force:
FIRE-WATOH BULE8.
No man of the day shift Is allowed to enter this mine until 6.30 a. m., or
until such time as the mine has been examined by the gas watch.
H. O. HoLBN, Superintendent.
The mine was operated 273 days during the past fiscal year; num-
ber of miners emploved underground, 30; number of men under-
ground, including drivers, timbermen, and all others not engaged in
digging coal, 7 ; total persons underground, 37. Nationality of those
employed undergrouna: Italians, 75 per cent; negroes, 15 per cent;
ddier English-speaking people, 10 per cent. Ninety per cent of the
negroes, and all others employed underground, could write, as shown
by signatures to vouchers. Three men were employed outside, Span-
i^-speaking natives of New Mexico, all of whom could write. Total
output, 34,575 tons, consisting of all sizes, from slack to 7-inch lump,
and all shipped to market; average price per ton at the mine, $3.30;
total value of coal shipped, $114,097.50. The increase of tonnage
over the tonnage (estimated) for the preceding fiscal year was 21,975
tons. The demand exceeded the production. The mii\e is equipped
with a 60-horsepower hoist ; an exhaust fan, double, 7 feet diameter,
furnishes ventilation. The escape way is through the old workings
of No. 3 opeping. This escape way is not an approved second open-
ing, but it is intended to sink another slope farther to the south,
which will be connected with No. 4 slope by a cross entry from the
bottom of the two slopes.

mines are the output of the Lower and Upper Peacock mines and the
White Ash mine. The Lower and Upper Peacock mines are upon
the same coal seam, which lies about 24 feet below the White Ash
8eanL The Lower and Upper Peacock mine opening are about 2,600
feet apart All three mmes are situated in T. 14 N., R. 7 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian. Thickness of coal seam,
about 2 feet to 2 feet 7 inches; dip of seam, 15^; character of coal,
bituminous.
The Lower Peacock mine has been opened by a main drift entry
across the dip for a length of 2,100 feet. The mine is ventilated
by a furnace. Operation of this mine was suspended March 18, 1910,
because of the cost of mining so small a seam and transporting the coal
so far underground. The production from this mine is included with
the production^ven from Upper Peacock mine.
The Upper l^acock mine is opened by a slope 750 feet in lengUi,
sunk upon the coal seam on same dip. I^ms are turned off the main
slope every 50 feet. The room necks are 70 feet in length, driven
across the back entries or air courses before widening out; width of
room necks, 9 feet; length of rooms, 800 feet; width or rooms, 25 feet;
distance of room centers, 50 feet.
The coal is shot off the solid, 30,500 pounds of black powder being
used in the Cerrillos bituminous mine operations durinjg the year.
The shot holes are supposed to be stemmed or tamped with fire clay
gathered in the rooms. The following is a copy of the rules:
BULES FOB SHOT FIBING.
Shot firing in this mine must be done only from 11.30 a. m. to 12 m. and from
4M p. m. to 6 p. m.

One fire boss is employed to inspect the mines before the men enter.
The mine is equipped with a 70-horseppwer steam boiler, and two
hoisting engines (one 15-horsepower and one 25-horsepower) .
The mine operated 259 days during the year; average number of
miners employed, 30; day men, including drivers, timbermen, and all
others underground not digging coal, 7 ; nationality of persons em-
ploved underground, Italians, 35 per cent ; Spanish-speaking natives
of New Mexico, 25 per cent; Slavonians, 10 per cent; negroes, 5 per
cent ; other English-speaking people, 25 per cent, 98 per cent of all

age number of men employed outside at the mine, 8; nationality,
Spanish-speaking natives, 75 per cent; English-speaking people, 25
per cent, all of wnom could write. Total output, 24,139 tons ; amount
used in operating the mine 550 tons; 4,381 tons were used in operating
the anthracite mine and the railroad between the mines at Madrid
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad at Waldo, N. Mex.,
8 miles distant; net product shipped to market, 19,208 tons; approxi-
mate price per ton at the mine, $1.85 ; total value of output, $35,434.80.
Increase of production (estimated) over tonnage for preceding fiscal
year, 3,008 tons.
All sizes, from slack to lump, are shipped. The coal is sold in the
towns of New Mexico and in the El Paso market, the product of the
mines being shipped over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Bailroad.

production of the Cerrillos bituminous mines.
BECOBD OF INSPECTION.
March 7, 1910. — Investigated conditions attending reopening of the old White
Ash mine by dropping a slope from the LAmb coal seam, through 5 feet of inter-
yening rock strata, to the old White Ash mine. Found that sufficient precau-
tion is not being taken to safeguard the men who are breaking through into
the old mine, which made much gas when formerly operated. Gave instruc-
tions that a fire boss be employed to examine the mine each day before men
enter, and that safety lamps be used by men breaking through into old ground
or liable to break through or connect with any old workings.
March 8, 1910. — Inspected openings being made into old White Ash mine
workings to extract piUars near surface. Air Intake gave no register on
anemometer; ventilation natural. Seven miners employed underground. In-
structed that drill hole be kept 10 feet ahead in all workings advancing in the
old White Ash mine, and that safety lamps be used by every person in the
mine; also that ventilation be improved and great care exercised about shoot-
ing in the dry coal of the old White Ash pillars. Instructed that second open-
ing, 150 feet distant, be made for escape way.
March 8, 1910, — Inspected Upper Peacock mine. Air intake, 1,480 cubic feet
per minute. Ten miners and 2 drivers underground ; also 4 mules. Instructed
that ventilation be improved; also that a good and sufficient stairway with
landings be built In air shaft, 63 feet in depth.
March P, 1910. — Inspected Lower Peacock mine. Air intake, 3,160 cubic feet
per minute. Ventilation by furnace. Air return, 6.200 cubic feet per minute.
Six miners, 2 company men, and 2 mules underground. Ck>al aU shot from the
solid. Operation will be suspended next week.
LEWISOHN MINE.
The Lewisohn mine is located in the SW. J SE. J, the SE. J SW. i,
the N. i SE. i, and the S. i NE. J sec. 32, T. 13 N.^ K 9 E., New
Mexico principal base and meridian. The new slope is in the NE. J
SW. i sec. 32, T. 13 N., R. 9 E. The mine is about 16 miles south-
east from Madrid by wagon road and about 12 miles from San
Pedro. The lump coal is hauled by wagon to Clark station on the
Santa Fe Central Railway, 3 miles distant from the mine, and is
shipped by rail to Santa Fe, N. Mex., and to other points along the
line of the Santa Fe Central Railway^ where is is sold for domestic
purposes. It is also sold to the inhaoitants of near-by towns in the
gold-mining district, and when the gold and copper mines and
smelter of the Santa Fe Gold and Copper Company are operated,
all of the slack and smaller sizes are shipped by wagon to the works
of the company and used for steam purposes. During the past fiscal
year there has been comparatively little done at these metal mines
and but little demand for the product of the coal mine.
The mine is owned by the estate of Leonard Lewisohn and oper-
ated by the Santa Fe Gold and Copper Company.
Two coal seams are disclosed by the development. The main slope
is sunk to a depth of 350 feet on a seam 3 feet thick, dipping 15°.
The lower foot of the seam is bone and the upper 2 feet is coal, with
a strong sandstone top. At a depth of 300 feet in the slope a cross-
cut has been run into the roof, showing 9 feet of strong sandstone,
above which is another seam or coal 5 &et thick. The lower foot oi
this coal seam is bony, with 4 feet of clean coal above; strong sand-
stone roof. The principal development has been on the upper seam.

decrease of 863.3 tons frcrni the preceding year ; price per ton at the
mine, $1.60; total value of product, $5,458.05.
SIEBBA COXTNTY.
Coal is known at several places in Sierra County on the plains on
the eastern slope of the Caballo Mountains. Several prospect shafts
and one or two diamond-drill holes were sunk to prove the value of
the field, but the coal bearing rock strata are so much disturbed,
broken, or eroded that in every instance development work was soon
stopped.
SOUTHWESTERN MINE.
At a point a few miles west of Ash Spring, and about 14 miles west
of Cutter station, on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, the
Southwestern Lead and Coal Company has sunk a shaft 172 feet
upon a coal seam which dips about 80°. A drift run 145 feet from
the bottom of the shaft has exposed 33 inches of clean coal, with bands
of slate and coal extending about 18 inches above the clean coaL
The mine is owned by E. S. Jones and is operated by the South-
western Lead and Coal Company. The mine was not operated dur-
ing the past fiscal year.
A transverse section of the seam, commencing at the bottom, is as
follows: Shale bottom; coal 18 inches, with band of pure white fire
cla7, 1 to 8 inches thick, in lenses in middle of the coal seam; highly
carbonaceous shale, 1 to 8 inches thick : sandstone top.
There was no response to a request made of the general mana^r
of the company for data in regard to the operation otthe mine durmg
the year.
SOCOBBO COUNTY.
Coal mininff in Socorro County was not as prosperous during the
fiscal year as the capacity of the mines would warrant. Total output,
60,185.71 tons, a decrease of 5,570.74 tons from the production of
the preceding fiscal year.
The Hilton, Bemal, and Government mines are operated by the
Carthage Fuel Company, Powell Stackhouse, jr., general manager,
and W. L. Weber, superintendent. A brief description of these
mines was ^iven in the annual report for 1906.
Depth of main slopes: Hilton. 1,260 feet; average angle of dip,
10°; Government, 2,000 feet; angle of dip, 12°; Bernal, old slope,
1,160 feet, new slope, 1,260 feet; angle of dip, 12°. System of work-

ing: Cross entries are driven from the main slopes at intervals of
atout 200 feet; from these cross entries rooms from 8 to 10 feet wide
are driven approximately 60 feet apart; these pillars are again
crosscut by rooms or cross entries 60 feet apart and parallel to the
main cross entries, thus blocking the coal out m pillars approximately
60 feet square. More than 750,000 tons of coal is now clocked out
in this manner in the three mines above named. The disturbed con-
dition of the field renders this the better plan of development, as
Sroven by experiments. When ready to pull these blocks from any
istrictj a modified long- wall system is employed.
Ventilation: Hilton mine, exhaust fan; Government mine, force
fan; Bemal mine, furnace. Shot-firing systems are in force at each
mine, the shots being inspected by competent shot firers, who con-
demn any holes that are miproperl^ placed. If the holes pass ex-
amination, the shot firer loads and i^ites the shots when all other
persons have left the mine. Record is kept of all condemned shots
and by whom the holes were drilled. Any person who persists in
drilling dangerous shot holes is discharged. A considerable per-
centage of the coal is pick mined. No trace of CH^ has ever been
found in the mines of the Carthage district during the thirty years
the mines have been operated, but the coal dust of the field is highly
inflammable, and a disastrous explosion some years ago cost 1 1 live^
The equipment is given collectively for the three mines because
the principal pari of it is at the Government mine, from whence
much of the power is supplied to the other two mines in the form of
compressed air. There are in use 8 boilers, total capacity, 620 horse-
power; 5 Vulcan hoisting engines (one 86-horsepower, one 60-hor9e-
power, one 50-horsepower, one 40-horsepower, one 35-horsepower) ;
6 hoisting engines (24 horsepower each), 120 horsepower; total, 10
hoisting engines, with a combined capacity of 390 horsepower. There
are also 3 air compressors, 100 horsepower each, compressed air being
used for power underground and steam at the surface. Six Ingersoll
mining machines and 4 punchers are used intermittently, only 1,233.7
tons being mined by machine during the fiscal year.
A schoolhouse, erected by the Carthage Fuel Company, furnishes
room for educational facilities for the children of the camp. Two
efficient teachers are employed during the scholastic term. Com-
fortable' residences are provided for the employees at the usual rea-
sonable rents charged in the various coal-mine camps.
The number of men employed directly at the mines, underground
and on top, is 144. as will be seen in statistics of each mine. Of the
total number employed, 50 per cent were natives of New Mexico of
Spanish descent, 98 per cent of whom could write, as shown by
signatures to vouchers; 25 per cent were Americans, 15 per cent
Slavonians, and 30 per cent Italians, all of whom could write.
The officials make every effort to provide for the safety of the
men employed. The mines produce an excellent bituminous coaJ,
from which several years ago superior coke was made in ovens located
at San Antonio, N. Mex. Excellent fire clay is found adjacent to the
coal mines, and in previous years large quantities were shipped
to the smelting plants of the Southwest. There was little demand for
this material during the year.

BECOBD OF nrsPEcnoN,
yovemher 5, 1909. — Inyestigated circumstances attending accident wherry
Santos Tellas was injured in Hilton mine, by fall of rock, and paralyzed ; in-
Jury may result fatally. Found that on the day the accident occurred, Satur-
day, September 16, 1909, the mine was not operated. Tellas reported to Sam
Ellwood, pit boss, that he had completed the crosscut he was working In, and
the pit boss told Tellas that he would give him a new place on Monday. Tellas
then arranged with a fellow miner, Sebastian Cordoba, to work Cordoba's place
and for Cordoba to take the new place promised Tellas. Cordoba was not
working that day, but in the afternoon Tellas went to work In Cordoba's place
In the mine without informing the pit boss or anyone else. About 4 feet back
from the face a large piece of top rock, called locally by the miners "brush-
ing" rook, as It is always taken down to the sandstone, had been left by
Cordoba. Tellas went to work under this rock, and about 4 p. m. it feU upon
him, catching his body below the breast upon a pile of slack. He was missed
at the boarding house, and at 7 p. m. a search was made and he was found, ap-
parently slightly injured, but paralysis developed a few days later and it was
found the spine was injured. The Injured man is still alive, with a chance

The Government mine is located in the SW. J NW. J and the NW.
J SW. i sec. 15, T. 5 S., R. 2 E., New Mexico principal base and
meridian. It is called the Government mine because it was operated
forty years ago by government troops that were camped about 20
miles distant^ on the Rio Grande. The mine is on the Carthage
seam, which is from 5 to 6 feet thick, with a dip of 12°. The mine
was operated 280 days; average number of mmers employed, 20;
company men, underground. 16; average number of men employed
outside at the mine, 16. Tne number of men employed outside is
increased by machinists, carpenters, etc., who do work for all of the
company's mines. The excessive quantity of coal used to operate the
mine results from, the mine furnishing compressed air for pumping
and hoisting underground at the other mines. Total output, 15,021.40
tons; amount used in operating the mine, 6,248.32 tons; net product
shipped to market, 8,773.08 tons; price per ton at the mine, $2.50:
total value of product shipped, $21,932.70. The coal was shipped
via the New Mexico Midland Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad to towns of the Southwest for steam and
domestic fuel, and to the railroads of Mexico.

BEGOMMENDATIONa
I have frequently recommended that more stringent laws be passed
which would make every person in and about a mine subject to prose-
cution and punishment for any breach of discipline whereby the life
or person of himself or any one else mi^ht be endangered or by which
property might be injured or destroyed.
The interest taken in mine rescue appliances and apparatus is
highly commendable and is producing decidedly beneficial results in
many ways, especially by awakening interest in the subject of mine
accidents ; but the prevention of mine accidents demands and should
receive fully as much attention as the rescue of victims.
While care and discipline should be maintained to prevent great
catastrophes and means of rescue in all emergencies should be pro-
vided, yet fully as strict care and discipline should be exercised to
prevent the fatalities which occur singly, caused by falls of rock and
coal, and which outnumber the fatalities from explosions by more
than four to one. To this end I offer the following suggestions, as
heretofore offered in my reports, with a few additions • , , ,
Stricter discipline at and within the mine, which discipline can
only be enforced by more specific and stringent laws than tnose now
on the statute books.
Absolute prohibition of shooting off the solid or shooting over-
burdened holes.
Only permissible explosives to be used.
In all mines employinff ten or more men underground all shots to
be inspected and loadea by competent shot firers, and ignited by
mechanical devices or by shot firers after all other persons have left
the mine. Shot firers to have full legal authority to condemn all
misplaced holes.
Severe penalties to be imposed by law for abusing any shot firer
by innuendo, abusive language, or assault because he has condemned
any shot hole in performance of official duty.
At least three rescue helmets, of approved type, to be kept in con-
stant readiness and in good condition at all nunes employing 25 or
more men underground.
Increased care for his own safety made compulsory on the miner;
requirement that he examine and keep his place well timbered at all
times and be satisfied with a smaller tonnage. To offset the lessened
output, the price paid for mining should be increased.
Fire bosses should be required to make a memorandum within the
mine of all dangerous conditions found, and should record it in a
book kept for the purpose near the mouth of the mine.

MINE INSPEOTOE FOE NEW MEXIGO.
523
Shot firers should keep a record of dangerous, condemned shot
holes, with the name and number of miner. For a continuation of
such dangerous practices the miner should be discharged.
All nonfatal accidents to be reported to the mine inspector each
month, as well as all fatal accidents.
Frequent nonfatal accidents indicate laxity in care and discipline.
If they are reported and measures are taken for their prevention,
more serious accidents may be avoided.
A tentative draft of the many necessary amendments and addi-
tions to the United States law for the protection of the lives of miners
in the Territories has heretofore been submitted to the Director of the
United States Geological Survey, with the reconmiendation that such
laws be presented for passage by Congress.
COKE PRODUCTION.
The demand for coke was restricted by lack of progressive condi-
tions at the smelting worfes of the Southwestern States and Territories
and Mexico, due to a sta^ant copper market, and the outlook is not
bright for increased^ activity^ during the ensuing year. That the
coke manufacturing industry in New Mexico exhibits a healthy con-
dition is demonstrated by the increased production shown in the table
below.' While a greatly increased consumption. of coke can not be
reasonably anticipated for the near future, a permanent demand for
the product of all the ovens now erected in New Mexico may be
considered assured.
