PATENTS TO MINING SNDS.
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 appii.
cations for several years past, a terrible
howl and q growl Gust so, too, has gone
forth against different Government. Of
icers. II has not been until recently
that instructions from the General Laud
Office at Washington have been sent to
officers in this State, but it is 10 be
hoped that there win not be any further
delays. We have obtained u copy OF
an official order from Washington TO the
Register and Receiver at Carson City. I
which we publish in full for the informa-
ton of ell parties concerned-especial'y
those whose applications are desig-
nated-so that they can remedy the de-
iects 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 in obtaining u pat
ent are plain and explicit, and appli-
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.
