LOT CLAIMANTS
 NEED TO HUSTLE
MAYOR SERVES NOTICE THAT HE WILL NOT STAND FOR
 DILATORINESS.
About 400 More Deeds Are Vet to Be Understanding Like 25o So Far Made Out-A Good Many Contests Are Coming Up.

Mayer Taylor yesterday evening made statement that unless property claimants notified to appear at his of fee and submit proofs necessary to secure title to ground on the days set h notices mailed to them he would within the next week cease to be at his office throughout the day, thus compelling property owners to seek him at his own hours, which will be between 4:30 and 5:30 p. m. of each day.
 The balance of his time the Mayor will devote 10 his usual employment as assistant mine superintendent with rhe Copper Queen.
 The full days that the mayor has been giving to the work of issuing deeds to claimants of lots in the city have been granted in order to afford the public accommodation, and it is rot encouraging to the donor of the time to have the public in return for the favor shown lag in the matter of coming in and securing the service offered Many of the people who have been mailed notices to appear at the office of the mayor OF set dates with their proofs have. to the knowl edge of the office, ignored the notices without cause other than careless dis regard. On the other hand many have appeared al the stipulated time and received their deeds.
 Between 350 and 300 deeds have been issued by the mayor to date. Yes ! terday was particularly busy. over 6t { deeds being issued. There are re maining to be issued about 4U0 deeds These can be disposed of within a week if those by whom they are claim ed will respond promptly. To gel | the deeds out of hand at the office of the Mayor and into the hands of the claimants is highly desirable at the earliest time possible. As soon a: they are out of the hands of the may or the several contests that have riser can be taken up and that end of thS work be disposed of.
 Regarding notices sent out to lot clailnnts to appear and make prooi for deeds, the mayor said last nigh | that such notice had been mailed tC every claimant. and that if there wa' one in town who had not been serveC
 
 ry at the general delivery window where he would undoubtedly find no tice. The law, the mayor said. dit not provide for the sending of a sec l ond notice, and it would not be sent Consequently those who lag too Ions | may, find themselves in a few week:
 too late to get the title that should
 undoubtedly be desired by all wht | have right to claim a lot.
 The last few days have witnessed |;
 considerable revival of disputes as {; ! lines of lots between claimants. Thi: | sort Of contest for Q time last weel | eased off, and it looked as if they ha' come practically to an end. All O 1 these disputes go over until the issu ance of deeds has closed. when tht
 mayor will take them up in regular order and make decision. This decis ion can be appealed from by goins
 into the District Court, from wher;
 contests may be carried to the highel courts. It is not anticipated, how
 ever, that there will be many appeal
 from the decisions of the mayor. Som,
 will go to the District Court. but tht
 majority will abide by the first decis | ion.
