Letter from Ethan Allen Hitchcock to William A. Richards
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock updates William A. Richards, Commissioner of the General Land Office, on an order from July 26, 1906, and subsequent related orders. On any lands where substantial coal is found, all orders for “entry, filing, and selection under the coal and other land laws” are to be modified to “provide for the withdrawal of ‘such lands from coal entry merely.'” Richards is to advise all affected land districts, especially those in Juneau, Alaska.
