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 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 nppli-
cations for several years past, a terrible
howl and a growlGust so, too, has gone
forth agsius. different Goverumen. Of
6cers. L, has not been until recently
that instructions from the General Land
Office at Washington have been sent to
officers in thi, State, but it is to be
hoped that there viii not be any further
delays. We have obtained u 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 especially
those whose applications are desig-
uated-so hat they can remedy the de-
fects in their papers as soou as possible.
Many of those parties have been written
to by the Register, but no have
been received, aud hence the delay in
their papers is their W fault. The
instructions regarding the necessary
steps to be adopted in obtaining n pat
ent 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 como il the
law is complied with.
