 Mining men, and particularly those from Colorado, express surprise at the comparatively small amount of min ing litigation there is in this territory. While there have been a few cases of considerable prominence and invOlv- ing quite heavy interests the number of cases have been remarkably few.

The records of the United States land office in Prescott show that there have been 50I appli- cations for patent filed in the office. Out of all of this number only fifty four adverse claims have been filed. Of the 50l applications. final certiti- cates have been issued in 42l cases.
