PATENTS TO MINING LANDS.

PATENTS TO MINING LANDS.
The law on patents 10 mining lands
has been very difficult to understand,
not only by the people but also by the
officers connected with u land Offices
and the Office Of the Surveyor General
and by reason Of the great delay in pro-
curing patents to our mineral lands by
persons who made the necessary appli.
cations for several years past, n terrible
howl and n growl Just so, too, has gone
forth against different Government. Of
ficers. It 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 to be
hoped that there will not be any further
delays. We have obtained a copy OF
au official order from Washington to the
Register and Receiver at Carson City,
which we publish in full for the Informal
ton of all parties concerned-cspecially
those whose applications are desiS-
nsted-so that they can remedy the de-
fects in their papers rs soon as possible.
Many Of those parties have been written
to by the Register, hut no answers have
been received, and hence the delay in
their papers is their W fault. The
instructions regarding the necessary
steps to be adopted in obtaining u pat
en-, are plain and explicit, aud rppli-
cants who have not already complied
strictly with the law in having their
papers prepared, should not delay the
matter. The patents will come il the
law is complied with.
