Colorado School of Mines, located at Golden, upon payment to the United States of $1.25 per acre therefor, provided that there is found to be no conflicting valid claim to the lands, and further provided that there shall be reserved to the United States all coal, oil, gas, or other mineral deposits found at any time in said lands. The lands described in the bill are the S. 1⁄2 SE. 1⁄4 sec. 22, N. 1⁄2 NE 1⁄4, SW. 1⁄4 NW. 4 sec. 27, T. 18 S., R. 66 W., sixth principal meridian.

As shown by the tract book records in this office, the lands described are vacant, unreserved public lands of the United States.

There has been received in this office, however, a paper in the nature of a relinquishment, signed by William P. Huleatt, as to the lands described herein, shown to be embraced in "Entry 054527," Pueblo. The papers in the case of said Huleatt have not yet been received in this office, but it appears from the general schedule of serial numbers as assigned in the Pueblo land office, that William P. Huleatt on January 6, 1931, filed application No. 054527 for 200 acres of land under the stockraising homestead act, but the description of the lands embraced therein is not available from the records.

Inasmuch as the rights of any prior applicant for the land would be protected by the provisions of the bill under consideration, and in view of the terms of the bill, requiring payment of $1.25 per acre, with all minerals reserved to the United States, I would offer no objection to the passage of the bill.

An Executive order of withdrawal has been prepared with a view to the temporary withdrawal of the lands in question in aid of the proposed legislation. THOS. C. HAVELL, Acting Commissioner.
