For the quarter ending March 81,
1890, the total receipts of the Wa-Keeney
land Office were only $lS,334.9S, while for
the same quarter in 1883 the receipts
SIS0.29I21, or almost ten times as great,
and the second quarter in 1888 reached
the sum OF S335,94831. We also find
that the receipts for the first quarter in
1890 are S28,374S6 less than that OF the
preceding quarter, or the one ending
December 81, 1889, and should the pres
ent quarter not increase the general aver
age for the fiscal year ending June 80,
$780, land it is more likely to decrease it,
this years receipts will be three-fourths
of million dollars less than that OF the
year ending June 80, 1888. This great
decrease is due chiefly to the fact that
two years ago a great number of leash
entrys" or Communication proofs" were
being made, every one of which increased

hundred dollars besides the regular fees,
while now the proofs being made are
