PATENTS TO MINING LANDS.
The law on patents to 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 u growl Just so, too, has gone
forth against different Government. Of
6cers. Il has not been until recently
ina, instructions from the General Land
Oaicc Mt Washington have been sent to
officers in this State, but it is to be
boped that there will not be any further
DELAYS. We have obtained a copy of
an official order from Washington to the
Register and Receiver at Carson City,
which we publish in full for the informa-
ton of all parties concerned-espeeially
those whose applications are desig-
nated-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, 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 in obtaining a pat
emit are plain and explicit, and 'nppli-
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.
