settlers, so far as practicable, should
also submit their affidavits setting
forth length of residence, and
nature, extent, and approximate
value of improvements on their re
spective claims. Special agents
will examine the bona ides of the
settlers and applicants. and the
surveys will be authorized or
denied on their reports. Blank
forms of settlers applications may
be obtained upon application to
the Surveyor General.
