LAND COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
Important Recommendations Regard.
Ing Texas Mineral Lands
Are Made.
Austin: Land Commissioner Robi-
son has completed an important chap-
ter for his forthcoming biennial re-
port. It deals with the mineral land
situation In Texas and recommends
sweeping changes in the statutes gov-
erning the disposition of the minerals
found on school lands and the sale of
land as mineral bearing. The chapter
follows: Since the enactment of th©
statute of 1883, relating to minerals,
such public free school land has been
sold with a reservation to the school
fund of the minerals that may be there-
in. While the statute since that date
has uniformly provided for the sale
of mineral land, there has been no ade-
quate provision for the sale of min-
erals after the sale of the land. The
effect of the statute is to segregate
the minerals and the land, recogniz-
ing eacn as a distinct asset. Should
a purchaser of the land find valuable
deposits of mineral, such as gold, sil-
ver, cinnabar, copper, coal, etc., or a
well of gushing oil, such purchaser
could not lawfully pay for and take
away one ounce or a pint, nor is there
any one vested with authority to as-
sume Jurisdiction over it, not even for
its conservation. The present statu- ;
tory provision for one to acquire the
precious minerals in land, such as gold, ;
etc., is this: The applicant files an
application with the County Surveyor, 1
describing the land desired, and quan-
tities not to exceed twenty-one acres,
and then requests the Land Commis- |
sioner to place a valuation on the land. |
The minimum price Is $25 per acre. 1
If the price fixed should be satisfac- j

and property.
"Moreover, storm warnings are dis-
played on the Gulf Coast, west of
Appalachicola to and including Louis-
iana, and on the Atlantic Coast at
the various stations from Hatteras
northward to the Delaware capes.
Shipping interests have been fuily
advised of the progress of this dan-
gerous storm beginning with Thurs-
day last."
What is sieved to be one of the
most destructive hurricanes expe-
rienced in some time in the Gulf of
Mexico nas caused millions of dollars'
loss in property lines and possibly
snuffed out hundreds of lives In Cuba,
covering a large area around Havana,
and Monday night was raging over a
large part of lower Florida.
That the Government considers this
storm of the gravest kind is shown
by the fact that hurricane warnings
have been extended along the Atlantic
Coast as far north as Delaware and
every method Is being used in warn-
in& shipping and people along the
further probable course of the
storm.
This storm has heretofore been hard
to trace, and since it was first offi-
cially reported, three days ago, it
is said to have changed Its course
no less luan three times, but now
seems to be following a more definite
course and seems to be passing up
to the Atlantic Coast.
Winds of forty to eighty miles an
hour have been reported from a num-
ber of places in Florida, and although
the storm is apparently moving slowly

New York: A move toward a set-
tlement of the difference now existing
between European and American bank-
ers over the cotton bills of lading con-
troversy was taken up at a conference
here when American bankers, aided
by American cotton interests and cot-
ton-carrying railroads, recommended
the formation of a "guaranty" com-
pany to validate cotton bills at the
moderate cost of 6c to 7c a bale.
This was merely a recommendation,
however, for so far as could be learn-
ed, no action to organize the proposed
guaranty company has yet been taken,
and it is considered likely that opposi-
tion will be manifested on the part of
the American cotton exporters.
The plan as suggested is generally
regarded as a decided concession to
the European bankers, who have been
represented at recent conferences with
New York bankers by Sir Edward H.
Holden, chairman of the Ixmdon City
and Midland Bank, which does an
enormous business In American cotton
bills. The American bankers are not
specially optimistic concerning the out-
come and some are disposed to ques-
tion the practicability of the plan.

establishment of a guaranty company
for the guaranteeing of cotton bills

ference in New York.
