PATENTS TO al1SlNc LAMBS.

The law on patents to mining lands
has been very difficult to understand,
no, only by the people but also by the
officers connected with our land Offices
and the Office of the Surveyor General
and by reasou of the great delay in pro-
eurinr patents to our mineral lands by
persons who made the necessary appli-
~catious for several years past, u terrible
howl and u growlj Just so, too, has gone
forth against different Government: OF.
6cers. II has not been until recently
that instructions from the General Land
Office at Washington have been sent to
officers in this State, but it is 20 he
hoped that there will not be any further
delays. We have obtained a copy Of
an official order from Washington to the
Register aud Receiver at Carson City,
which we publish in full for the informa-
ton OF all parties conccrued-especially
those whose applications are desig-
nated-so that they can remedy the de-
fects in their papers as soon as possible.
Many OF those parties have been written
to by the Register, but no answers have
been received, and hence the delay in
their papers is their own fault. The
instructions regarding the necessary
steps to be adopted iu obtaining . pat
eut are plain and explicit, and appli-
can,s who have not already complied
strictly with the law in having their
papers prepared, should not delay the
matter. The patents will come if the
law is complied with.
