Las Cruces, n. NJ, July 1O.-In the
ella national forest reserve IN township
Is, south OF range 10 west, the original
surveys for the location OF several
homestead entries and scrip locations
were made by Ricard l. Powell, now
deceased.
1t appears that there was mistake
in his survey of about a quarter OF a
mile. and locations that should be in
one section were entered as being in
another section and patents were grant
ed the various claimants for land in
many instances which was of little or
no value, while the land which they
thought they owned was showing on the
tract books of the land office as being
vacant.
In the case of the homestead entry
made by John Ereany, now deceased,
for the northwest quarter of the north
west quarter of section 26, and the west
half of the southwest quarter and south
west quarter of the northwest quarter
of section 80. township 16 south. range
Is west, the administrator, Thomas
FOy, has made application for change
Of entry to embrace the southeast quar-
ter of the northeast quarter md east
half of the southeast quarter of section
%, and northeast quarter of the north
east quarter of section 81 IN the same
township and range, making a great
difference in the land where the i'm
provements of FreanY were located and
the land embraced IN the patent issued
to him on Nav II, 1899.
The new survey was made by forest
reserve officials and IN running the
various lines they also found that
