CAREY ACT PROJECTS 



HAVING LAND OPEN TO ENTRY, OR AUTHOR- 

 IZED TO SELL WATER CONTRACTS 

 (MAY 1, 1910). 



The figures given indicate, in every instance, the total 

 acreage of "Carey Act" lands under the various projects, 

 as segregated, or open to entry, at this date, and disre- 

 garding state or private lands, or lands entered under 

 United States Public Land Laws, prior to the segregation 

 of the "Carey Act" lands. They are not conclusive as to 

 the amount of land remaining unentered, which may be 

 great or small. In many cases "relinquishments" of en- 

 tered lands, or lands which have been "proven up," or 

 patented, may be purchased from original entrymen. 



The prices named represent the original prices estab- 

 lished by the state for water-rights and apply to the 

 "Carey Act" lands under the various projects, only. 



The price exacted by the state for the land must, in 

 all cases, be considered in connection with the cost of 

 water-rights. 



To avoid correspondence, which, at some future time, 

 might be unnecessary and troublesome, the suggestion is 

 offered, in the case of states having many projects open 

 to entry, that the homeseeker write to the state depart- 

 ment or official, indicated in connection with the list of 

 projects, before corresponding with the companies directly. 

 For information regarding specific projects inquiries should 

 be directed to the companies, themselves. Residents of 

 the eastern states will find it convenient and expeditious 

 to correspond with the eastern- offices of companies pos- 

 sessing such facilities. Where such offices are maintained, 

 they are referred to in connection with the companies' 

 home offices. For information regarding the resources 

 of the state at large, inquiries should be addressed to the 

 department or officials indicated in the list appended.

WYOMING. 



(The total amount of land allowed this State by the 

 Federal Government up to May 1, 1910, is 2,000,000 acres.) 



It is not customary to have land drawings, as in the 

 case of many of the other Western States, as the bulk of 

 the settlement is accomplished through private contract 

 with the individual. After the land is open for settle- 

 ment, it is the case of "first come, first served." The 

 companies are, however, authorized to conduct land draw- 

 ings, under jurisdiction of the State Land Board, if re- 

 quested, if they so desire. 



It is suggested that inquiries, of a general nature, 

 about Carey Act projects, be directed to "R. L. Fuller, 

 Commissioner of Public Lands, Cheyenne, Wyoming."
