r,rENrs TO MINING LANDS.

PATENTS TO MINING LANDS.
The law on patents to mining lands
has been very Difficult. to understand,
no, oaly by the people but also by the
officers connected with our 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, a terrible
howl aud a growl Just so, too has gone
forth against different Government! of
icers. 1t has not been until recently
that Instructions from the General Land
Office n, 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 o copy OF
Gn Official order from Washington to the
Rey:ster and Receiver at Carson City,
wIich ". publish in full for the Informal
tioa of all parties concerued-especially
Hose whose applications are deslg-
uated-so thit ;hey can remedy the de-
f.c,s in their papers rs soon as possible.
Many OF those p.rties have been written
u oy the Reg er, but no answers have
oeea received. and hence the delay in
Their papers is their own fault. The
ias;rue ions regarding the necessary
sIeuS u be adopted in obtaining \ pat
eat are plain an explicit, and nppli-
ciats VII, have not already complied
~strir,'y With the law in having their
nane,; preptred, should not delay the
IN uter. The patents will come 1t the
law is complied with.
