lands, many of whom have come from
long distance, and have every dollar
they own invested in ther claims, and
are actively at work making improve

thcse unfortunate people to have to
leave now, and it l,ay be considerable
trouble to remove them, if they should
show disposition to resist, which they
probably will.
