Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1909-08-14

Time to Begin.
The drawings will begin promptly at
10 clock on the first day and that pos
sibly on other days they will commence
at o clock, continuing each day until
5 'clock unless more time is required
to draw the number of applications de-
cided upon. The numbers will be ac-
corded as drawn.
Official Notices on Postcards.
A postal card notice will be mailed
on the same day of the drawing to
every one whose application is drawn,
giving his or her number. A few days
later a large envelope will be sent to
each person, containing a copy of the
proclamation and the regulations bear
ing upon the opening to entry of these
lands, together with a copy of the home
stead laws, the envelope being marked
with the number drawn and the reserva
tion for which it was drawn.
Entry for the reservations will begin
on April l, 1910, at each of the four
land offices, and they will be made in
the order that the numbers are drawn.
In view of the fact that there are two
land offices in the Flathead district,
each will be furnished with duplicate
list, and applicants will be instructed to
announce their choice of the two land
Offices at which they will make their
entries, whether Kalispell or Missoula,
and they must file at the one they desig-
nate. This rule does not apply to the
other land offices.
Opening Day of Entry.
On the opening day of entry the first
so numbers will be called. On the sec
ond day numbers 81 to 100, and after
that 100 numbers a day. Amy person
holding a number who fails to appear
when his name is called goes to the foot
of the list for that day, and after all
the others assigned for that day have
been called, his name and number will
again be called. Should he fail to ap-
pear and make entry at that time, he
loses his right to enter.
How to Select a Claim.
A great many people have wondered
how they were going to make a selection
in the event that they drew one of the
lucky numbers. Superintendent Witten
announces that it will be unnecessary
for them to make more than a general
examination of the topography of the
country.
