Show weanesaay, mar cn x iro Only one Emery coal SALT LAKE Bureau of Land Management officials, caught by the lack of bidding in Thursdays auction for four tracts of coal land in Emery county, are considering their next move in an effort to lease the property. Only one acceptable bid was received from the crowded room of onlookers in the Salt Palace. Representitives of Consolidation Coal Co., Englewood, Colo., bid $900 per acre for the Kingston tract, located some three miles south of the town of Emery.

The Emery South, at a minumum of $430 per acre, would have drawn a minimum bid of $321,850 for its 748 acres. The minimum bids per acre are set by the U.S. Geological Survey, based on fair market value. According to Barnes, the USGS will be asked to the bids, hopefully in order to encourage bidding at a later date. We will try to offer the three Emery tracts again, in conjunction with the auction on May 27 of the North Horn Mountain and Rilada Canyon leases, also located in Emery County, Barnes said. Im working with those involved on the paperwork to see if we can get this worked out. The North Horn Mountain lease, located some 10 miles west of Castle Dale, is considered to be one of the prime coal properties in the county, with an estimated 250 millon tons of recoverable coal in place. The Rialda Canyon tract, located near Huntington, holds an estimated 19.5 million tons of ce reserves.
