There are very few people in Port An

veyed lands and trying to establish resi-
dence on the TOWNSHIP reservation" said
Mr.. Ulmer. 'sThere are several. though,
who have claims on unsurveyed lands
that are trying to establish residence in
Angeles. The only risk they run is
that of having their squatter claims
jumped while they are proving up on their
town lots. But think there will be no
jumping. OF course the s9uatters will
lose the time they have spent on their
claims. There are about 1908 claimants
who will prove up between now and 0cto-
Der 81. There will be no difficulty in find
ing the money to prove up with, as the
lots are appraised at about one-twentieth
of their real value have just received a
telegram stating that 800 claimants proved
up today"
