the preceding year Of Sj,322,ldj 90, with
falling on during thu same period, in the
iocation Of lands with warrants of more
than 20 per cent.
In the territory Of the United States there
arc eighty.three organized land districts
each having register and receiver, for tho
sale aud disposal Of the public lands Yet
We have no land district for either the Ter
ritory Of New Mexico or Utah.
The Secretcry approves OF the pre-cmp.
ton principle, but suggests that settlers up.
on unoiIercd lands should be required to
make their proof and payment within a
aIrcliied period.
l'rccmptions upon un@rvcyoi lands are
now limited to particular States and Terri
tories. A general law, authorizing pre-
cmptioos upon all lands Of this character. is
recommended The Secretary adds
The public domain !. the property Of the
United States, and the individual citizen. there.
Of have equal rights Of purchase. Actual set
tiers, a. already shown, are amply protected
by law from Interference, and efficient safe.
guards arc thrown around their rights As an
evidence OF this II ia estimated that, In the sales
al thc iAst year, three fourths of the sod and
located lauds were taken for actual settlement
Largo districts Of the public lands are valuable,
however, only for the timber toaai upon Thorn;
they arc unsuitable for settlement and Ia IL.
str,ct their purchase To settlers alone would
prevent their sale for an Indefinite period and
