Biographical History
The Division of Lands and Minerals was designated as one of the original divisions of the Conservation Department when it was created in 1931 (Laws 1931 c186), although the division did not become active until 1933. It was established to take over the lands and minerals duties of the state auditor. These included the care, supervision, sale, and lease of state trust fund lands and minerals (Laws 1937 c310). Division staff inspected all mining operations under permit or lease, conducted research on commercial development of minerals, and promoted their exploration and development. The division also classified agricultural lands for the conservation commissioner and approved county board classification of tax-forfeited land (Laws 1935, c210 and c386).
Most of the division's revenue was obtained from royalties on iron ore and other minerals, and from the sale and rental of state land, and was paid into the state's permanent trust funds.
When the Department of Conservation was reorganized in 1967 (Laws 1967 c904), Lands and Minerals was eliminated as a separate division, and its functions were subsumed under the newly formed Division of Lands and Forestry and Division of Waters, Soils, and Minerals.
