TUCSON, ARIZONA. !

| TUCSON, ARIZONA, March 8, 1875. HoN. LEVY RUGGLEs, Register United States Land Office, Florence. Sir: As one of the henetciaries, and on the part and at the request of other interested parties under the act 'lTo grant title :o certain 1 lands in the Territory of Arizona" ap- proved February ), 1875, a copy of which l is herewith attached, write you to ascer- tain whether the Honorable Commissioner ] Of the General Land Office will not, at an early day, direct the Surveyor General of Arizona to make an official survey of | these lands.
 The claims so lie that it would entail great expense 10 order survey in each particular case, as well as the costs to the claimants in proving up theIv title would be very great in the absence of an au- thentic survey, as the possessions are mostly of small size, and coSta:ning but few acres, and the exterior boundaries of which run in all directions, and at alb description without a survey would be very vague and indefinite.
 The boundaries between claims are we'll defined, and there are no disputes or con- tests as to conflicting claims or boundaries thereof, and if survey was ordered, the parties in interest would without excep- tion, may say, join in pointing out their division lines. The survey made, 1t would then devolve upon the parties to make the proofs as provided by the provisions of the act, which could be speedily and satisfactorily done, and save much time to the officers of the Land Department in Investigating the various claims for title, as in making the proofs before you to these irregular tracts, reference could be had to the officia! survey before you or the department.
 respectfully request that you forward this communication to Hon. S. S. Burdett, commissioner general land office, with such recommendation as you may deem proper to make.
 Very respectfully, your ob't serv't
 WILLIAM J. OSBORN.
