The first discussion of -the policy of selling such lands began in 1850, the argument being to -make them a source of revenue. The policy of leaving the mineral land -open for private exploration and development prevailed, and remained -the rule until 1866. The uncertainty of titles, etc., was urged in -1865-6, as reason for a change. Under legislation preceding that date, -no title could be or was conferred to mining claims, beyond possessory -rights, maintained by working and payment of a small royalty. Citizens -of the United States might explore and occupy under regulations as -prescribed by law. In the absence of congressional enactment, local -legislation was authorized to provide necessary rules; the local -customs and district rules not in conflict with the United States laws -were also recognized. The law was, in reality, a license only to go -upon the mineral-bearing portions of the public domain. Ownership, -however, attached to the minerals extracted, and the government had no -claim to them, except so far as royalty or license fees were concerned. - - -The Act of 1872 - -Is not compulsory upon miners. They are not obliged to procure a United -States patent for their claims. Those who do not, hold exactly the same -relations that they did before its passage, provided no adverse claim -is interposed. The Revised Statutes of the United States, Sections -2,318 to 2,352, of Title “Mineral Lands”; also, “Miscellaneous” -provisions ditto, embracing Sections 910, 2,238, 2,258, 2,386 and -2,406, provide that for - - -Quartz Mines - -Any person who is a citizen of the United States, or who has declared -his intention to become a citizen, and no others, may locate and hold -a mining claim 1,500 linear feet along the course of any mineral -vein or lode subject to location; or any association of persons, -severally qualified as above, may make joint location of such claim of -1,500 feet; but in no event can a location of a vein or lode, made -subsequent to the date mentioned, exceed 1,500 feet along the course -thereof, whatever may be the number of persons in the company. - -With regard to the extent of surface ground adjoining a lode or vein, -and claimed for the convenient working of the same, it is provided that -the lateral extent of location, made after May 10th, 1872, shall, in -no case, exceed 300 feet on each side of the middle of the vein at the -surface, and that no such surface rights shall be limited by any mining -regulations to less than 25 feet on each side of the middle of the vein -at the surface, except where adverse rights, existing on the 10th of -May, 1872, may render such limitations necessary; the end lines of such -claims to be in all cases parallel with each other. - -By the foregoing it will be seen that no lode-claim, located after May -10th, 1872, can exceed a parallelogram 1,500 feet in length by 600 in -width, but whether surface ground of that width can be taken depends -upon the local regulations, or State or Territorial laws then in force -in the mining districts; but no such local regulations, or State or -Territorial laws, shall limit a vein or lode-claim to less than 1,500 -feet along its course, nor can surface rights be limited to less than -50 feet in width, unless adverse claims, existing on May 10th, 1872, -render such lateral limitations necessary. It is provided by the -Revised Statutes that the miners of each district may make rules and -regulations not in conflict with the laws of the United States, or of -the State or Territory in which the districts are situated, governing -the location, manner of recording, and amount of work necessary to hold -possession of a claim. - -In order to hold a possessory right to a location made prior to May -10th, 1872, not less than $100 worth of labor must be performed or -improvements made thereon, within one year from the date of such -location, and annually thereafter; in default of which the claim -will be subject to re-location by any one else having the necessary -qualifications, unless the original locator, his heirs, assigns, or -legal representatives, have resumed work after such failure and before -the re-location. The expenditures required upon mining claims may be -made from the surface, or in running a tunnel for the development of -such claims. The Act of February 11th, 1875, provided that where a -person or company has run a tunnel for the purpose of developing a lode -or lodes, the money so expended shall be considered as expended on the -said lode, and the owner or owners shall not be required to perform -work on the surface to hold the claim. - -Individual proof of citizenship may be made by affidavit. If a company, -unincorporated, by the agent’s affidavit; if a corporation, by the -filing of a copy of charter or certificate of incorporation. Locators -against whom no adverse rights rested on the date of the Act of 1872, -shall have, on compliance with general law and recognized custom, the -exclusive right to - - -Possession and Enjoyment - -Of the surface inclosure, and of “all veins, lodes, and ledges -which lie under the top or apex of such lines, extended downward -vertically,” even though they in their descent extend outside the -“side-lines of such surface locations.” The right to such outside parts -of veins or ledges is confined to all that lies between “vertical -planes drawn downward,” as described, so continued that these planes -“will intersect” the exterior parts of the said “veins or ledges.” -The surface of another’s claim cannot be entered by the locator or -possessor of such lode or vein. - - -What Constitutes a Deposit. - -The word “deposit” has always been construed by the Land Office to be -a general term, embracing veins, lodes, ledges, placers, and all other -forms in which the valuable metals have ever been discovered. Whatever -is recognized as a mineral by standard authorities, where the same -is found in quality and quantity sufficient to render the land sought -to be patented more valuable on this account than for purposes of -agriculture, is treated by the Land Office as coming within the meaning -of the act. Lands, therefore, valuable on account of borax, carbonate -of soda, nitrate of soda, sulphur, alum, and asphalt, it is held may -be patented. The first section of the Act of 1872 says, “all valuable -mineral deposits.” The sixth section uses the term “valuable deposits.” -Deposits of fire-clay may be patented under the act, and so may iron -deposits, which may be patented as vein or placer claims. Lands, more -valuable on account of deposits of limestone, marble, kaoline, and mica -than for purposes of agriculture, may be patented as mineral lands. - - -Miners’ Form of Notice. - -We hereby give notice that we have this ---- day of ---- A. D., 187-, -located this, the (“Centennial”) lode. We claim 1,500 feet in and along -the vein, linear and horizontal measurement. - -We claim 1,200 feet along the vein, running in a northwesterly -course from the discovery shaft, and 300 feet running along the vein -southeasterly from the discovery shaft. We also claim 150 feet on each -side of the vein from center of crevice as surface ground. - - - W. ---- M. ----, } Locators. - H. ---- C. ----. } - -The Act of 1872 provides that no lode-claim can be recorded until -after the discovery of a vein or lode within the limits of the ground -claimed. The claimant should, therefore, prior to recording his -claim, unless the vein can be traced on the surface, sink a shaft, or -run a tunnel or drift to a sufficient depth therein to discover and -develop a mineral-bearing vein, lode or crevice; should determine, if -possible, the general course of such vein in the direction from the -point of discovery, in which direction he will be governed in making -the boundary of his claim on the surface; and should give the course -and direction as nearly as practicable from the discovery shaft on the -claim to some permanent, well-known points or objects, such as, for -instance, stone monuments, blazed trees, the confluence of streams, -etc., which may be in the immediate vicinity, and which will serve to -perpetuate and fix the locus of the claim, and render it susceptible -of identification from the description thereof given in the record of -location in the district. He should drive a post, or erect a monument -of stones at each corner of his surface ground, and at the point of -discovery or discovery shaft, should fix a post, stake or board, upon -which should be designated the name of the lode, the name or names of -the locators, the number of feet claimed, and in what direction from -the point of discovery; it being essential that the location notice -filed for record, in addition to the foregoing description, should -state whether the entire claim of fifteen hundred feet is taken on one -side of the point of discovery, or whether it is partly upon the other -side thereof; and in the latter case, how many feet are claimed upon -each side of such discovery point. The following diagram of surface -boundaries, etc., of a lode, will aid the locator in this work: - - [Illustration] - Post. Post.

The following acts were -accordingly passed and approved on the dates specified. - -An act approved March 1st, 1873, amends Section 5 of the Act of 1872, -above referred to, so as to read as follows: “That the time for the -annual expenditure on claims located prior to the passage of said act, -shall be extended to the 10th day of June, 1874.” - -An act approved June 6th, 1874, made a further extension to January -1st, 1875. - -An act approved February 11th 1875, so amends Section 2324, Revised -Statutes, as to provide that where “a person or company has or may run -a tunnel for the purpose of developing a lode or lodes owned by said -person or company, the money so expended on said tunnel shall be taken -and considered as expended on said lode or lodes, whether located prior -to or since the passage of said act; and such person or company shall -not be required to perform work on the surface of said lode or lodes in -order to hold the same, as required by said act.” - - -Recording Location. - -Within a reasonable time, after the location shall have been marked on -the ground, notice thereof, accurately describing the claim in manner -aforesaid, should be filed for record with the proper recorder of the -district, who will thereupon issue the usual certificate of location. -The district regulations or customs are followed in this regard. Within -ninety days after location, a location certificate must be filed in the -office of the Recorder, in the county in which the lode is situated, -which should be in the following form: - - TERRITORY OF ARIZONA, } ss. - County of ---- } - -Know all Men by these Presents, That ---- the undersigned, ha---- this ----- day of ---- A. D. 1877, located and claimed, and by these presents -do locate and claim, by right of discovery and location, in compliance -with the Mining Acts of Congress, approved May 19th, A. D. 1872, and -all subsequent Acts, and with the local customs, laws and regulations, ----- feet, linear and horizontal measurement, on the ---- Lode, along -the vein thereof, with all its dips, angles and variations, together -with ---- feet on each side of the middle of said vein at the surface; -and all veins, lodes, ledges and surface ground within the lines of -said claim ---- feet, running ---- from center of discovery shaft. Said -discovery shaft being situate upon said lode, and within the lines of -said claim in ---- Mining District, county of ---- and Territory of -Arizona, and further described as follows: - - ______________________________________________________ - ______________________________________________________ - - Said lode was located on the ---- day of ---- A. D. 1877. - - -------- -------- - -------- -------- - Attest: -------- -------- - -------- -------- -------- - Date of certificate, ------------ A. D. 1877. - - -Labor and Expenditures. - -In order to hold the possessory rights to a claim of 1,500 feet of a -vein or lode located as aforesaid, the Act requires that until a patent -shall have been issued therefor, not less than $100 worth of labor on -the basis adopted by the local mining regulations shall be performed, -or improvements made thereon, during each year; in default of which -the claim will be subject to re-location by any other party having -the necessary qualifications, unless the original locator, his heirs, -assigns or legal representatives have resumed work thereon after such -failure and before such re-location. The importance of attending to -these details in the matter of location, labor and expenditure will be -the more readily perceived, when it is understood that a failure to -give the subject proper attention, may invalidate the claim. - - -Adverse Claims. - -The seventh section of the United States laws provides for adverse -claims; fixes the time within which they shall be filed to have legal -effect, and prescribes the manner of their adjustment. An adverse -mining claim must be filed with the register of the same land office -with whom the application for patent was filed, or in his absence, -with the receiver, and within the sixty days’ period of newspaper -publication of notice. It must be duly sworn to by the party or parties -filing the adverse claim, and not by an attorney, before a officer -authorized to administer oaths within the land-district, or before -the register or receiver; fully set forth the nature and extent of -the interference or conflict; whether the adverse party claims as a -purchaser for valuable consideration, or as a locator; if the former, -the original conveyance, or a duly certified copy thereof, should be -furnished; or if the transaction was a mere verbal one he will narrate -the circumstances attending the purchase, the date thereof, and the -amount paid, which facts should be supported by the affidavit of one -or more witnesses, if any were present at the time; and if he claims -as a locator, he must file a duly certified copy of the location from -the office of the proper recorder. It will be incumbent upon the -adverse claimant to file a plat showing his claim, and its relative -situation or position with the one against which he claims, so that the -extent of the conflict may be the better understood. This plat must -be made from an actual survey by a United States deputy surveyor, who -will officially certify thereon to its correctness; and in addition -there must be attached to such plat of survey a certificate or sworn -statement by the surveyor, as to the approximate value of the labor -performed or improvements made upon the claim of the adverse party, and -the plat must indicate the position of any shafts, tunnels, or other -improvements, if any such exist upon the claim of the party opposing -the application. Upon the foregoing being filed within the sixty days -as aforesaid, the register, or in his absence, the receiver, will give -notice in writing to both parties to the contest that such adverse -claim has been filed, informing them that the party who filed the -adverse claim will be required within thirty days from the date of such -filing to commence proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction, -to determine the question of right of possession, and to prosecute the -same with reasonable diligence to final judgment; and that, should such -adverse claimant fail to do so, his adverse claim will be considered -waived, and the application for patent be allowed to proceed upon its -merits. When an adverse claim is filed as aforesaid, the register -or receiver will indorse upon the same the precise date of filing, -and preserve a record of the date of notifications issued thereon; -and thereafter all proceedings on the application for patent will be -suspended, with the exception of the completion of the publication and -posting of notices and plat, and the filing of the necessary proof -thereof, until the controversy shall have been adjudicated in court, or -the adverse claim waived or withdrawn. - - -Tunnels. - -Tunnels run for the development of a vein or lode, or for the discovery -of mines, give the owner or owners the right of possession of all veins -or lodes within 3,000 feet from the face of the tunnel to the same -extent as if discovered from the surface, _i. e._, 1,500 feet on the -lode; and locations on the line of such tunnels of veins or lodes not -appearing on the surface, made by other parties after the commencement -of the tunnel, and while the same is being prosecuted with reasonable -diligence, shall be invalid; but failure to prosecute the work on -the tunnel for six months shall be considered an abandonment of the -right to all undiscovered veins or lodes on the line of said tunnel. -To avail themselves of the benefits of the law, the proprietors of a -mining tunnel will be required to give a proper notice of their tunnel -location, by erecting a substantial post, bound or monument at the -face or commencement thereof, upon which should be posted a good and -sufficient notice, giving the names of the party or parties claiming -the tunnel right, the actual or proposed course or direction, height -and width. At the time of posting notice and marking out the lines of -the tunnel, as aforesaid, a full and correct copy of such notice and -location must be filed for record with the mining recorder for the -district. - - -Placer Claims. - -The laws of the United States provide, also, that no location of a -placer claim, made after July 9th, 1870, shall exceed 160 acres for any -one person or association of persons, which location shall conform to -the United States surveys. All placer claims located after May 10th, -1872, shall conform as nearly as practicable with the United States -system of public surveys, and no such location shall include more than -20 acres for each individual claimant. - -These provisions of the law are construed by the commissioner of the -General Land Office, to mean that after the 9th of July, 1870, no -location of placer claim can be made to exceed 160 acres, whatever may -be the number of locators associated together, or whatever the local -regulations of the district may allow; and that from and after May -10th, 1872, no location made by an individual can exceed 20 acres, -and no location made by an association of individuals can exceed 160 -acres; which location cannot be made by a less number than eight _bona -fide_ locators; but whether _as much_ as 20 acres can be located by an -individual, or 160 acres by an association, depends entirely upon the -mining regulations in force in the respective districts at the date -of the location; it being held that such mining regulations are in -no way enlarged by the statutes, but remain intact and in full force -with regard to the size of locations, in so far as they do not permit -locations in excess of the limits fixed by Congress; but that when -such regulations permit locations in excess of the maximum fixed by -Congress, they are restricted accordingly. A local regulation is valid, -therefore, which provides that a placer claim, for instance, shall -not exceed 100 feet square. Congress requires no annual expenditures -on placer claims, leaving them subject to the local laws, rules, -regulations and customs. - - -District Mining Regulations. - -The following will serve as a model for the framing of district laws. -They will vary a little in detail, according to the requirements of the -locality. - - -Bounds and Laws of ---- District. - -By virtue of a notice duly signed and posted, on ---- 1877, a meeting -of miners was held at place of posting notice on the ---- inst., at -which place and time the ---- Mining District was formed. Mr. ---- ----- acted as Chairman, and ---- ---- acted as Secretary. - -Following are the laws passed to govern the district: - -1. The mining district shall be called the ---- Mining District. - -2. The district shall embrace the following described and bounded -territory: commencing at the easterly end of the ---- ---- Mine, and -running west of north along the eastern boundary of the ---- Mining -District to the western end of the ---- Mine, in the ---- Mining -District, ---- ---- Mountains. - -3. The County Recorder of ---- County, by virtue of his office, shall -be, ex-officio, recorder of this district. - -4. Chapter six, of title thirty-two, revised statutes of the United -States, is adopted as this article. - -5. In the location of mines in this district, copies of the notices of -location must be placed on the mines before any legal record of the -same can be made by the recorder. Any location not so made shall be -null and void. - -6. All location notices must be filed in the office of the recorder -within thirty days after the actual date of location. - -7. The County Recorder shall be entitled to a fee of two dollars for -each and every notice recorded by him. - -8. The records of ---- County are hereby adopted as the bona fide -records of this district. - -9. The annual meeting of the voters of this district shall take place -and be holden on the first Monday in May in each year. - -10. Ten days prior to the date of holding the annual meeting, the -Recorder shall place, or cause to be placed or posted, in three of the -most conspicuous places in said district, a notice stating the time -when, and the place where, said meeting shall be holden, and shall -designate in such notice that the meeting shall be holden for the -purpose of transacting all and every kind of business which may be -properly brought before it. - -11. At each annual meeting, the voters of the district shall elect -their chairman and secretary, who shall hold office for one year, or -until their successors are appointed. - -12. The chairman and secretary of this meeting shall hold office from -the ---- day of ---- for one year, or until their successors are -elected. - -13. The secretary of each meeting shall keep full and complete records -of the minutes and proceedings of their respective meetings, and cause -the same to be placed on record in the office of the County Recorder. - -14. These rules, regulations and by-laws shall not be altered, or in -any way changed, except at a regular annual meeting of the miners of -said district, and then only by a legal vote of two-thirds of all the -voters present and voting. - -15. Any and all persons who are citizens of the United States of -America, or who have declared their intention to become such, and own -shares of stock or interests in any mine in the district, or who has -worked in any mine in the district for the twenty days preceding such -meeting, shall be considered a legal voter, and entitled to vote at a -miners’ meeting. - -16. Five dollars per day shall be allowed for each and every eight -hours’ work performed upon a mine for the purpose of holding title, -or performing the necessary amount of work for a patent, and no other -expenses shall be considered as expended for the purpose of holding or -perfecting title. - -17. All mines hereafter located in this district shall be marked by -end and corner monuments or stakes, at least eighteen inches in height -above ground, with sufficient marks placed in or upon them to show -which end or corner of the claim they designate; if stakes are used, -they must be sunk at least six inches in the ground, and have a blaze -and figures upon one side. - -18. All locations made and recorded previous to the adoption of these -rules, regulations and by-laws are hereby legalized, so far as they may -not conflict with the same. - -19. These rules, regulations and by-laws shall be filed and recorded in -the office of the County Recorder of ---- County, and shall be in full -force and effect from and after this ---- day of ---- 1877. - -20. The above proceedings, and the proceedings of any subsequent -meeting, shall be signed by the chairman and secretary, and transmitted -by them to the County Recorder without delay. - - [Signed.] - ---- ---- Miner. - ---- ---- Miner. - ---- ---- Miner. - ---- ---- - ---- ---- - -I certify that the foregoing is a correct statement of the proceedings -had, and of the laws adopted for the ---- Mining District, this ---- -day of ---- 1877. - - ---- ---- Secretary. - - -Water Rights. - -The United States Revised Statutes provide: - -1. That as a condition of sale in absence of legislation by Congress, -the legislature of a State or Territory may provide rules for working -mines, involving easements, drainage, and other necessary conditions; -these to be expressed in the patent. - -2. That all prior rights, arising from possession, in the use of water, -and recognized by local laws, etc., or judicial decisions, shall be -regarded as vested, and shall be protected. This right of way is also -granted and confirmed. Damages are to accrue if a land-settler’s rights -are interfered with. - -3. All land patents shall be subject to vested and accrued water -rights, including ditches and reservoirs. - -Officers of United States Land Offices are required to file with the -General Land Office, the local laws on such matters. The following is a -summary of those passed by the legislature of Arizona. - - -Water Rights in the Territory.--All rivers, creeks, and streams -of running water in the Territory of Arizona are deemed public, -and applicable to the purposes of irrigation and mining. All the -inhabitants of the Territory who own or possess arable or irrigable -lands shall have the right to construct public or private acequias, -and obtain the necessary water for the same from any convenient river, -creek, or stream of running water. - -All damages arising from construction of the acequias shall be assessed -by the Probate Judge of the county in a summary manner. - -No inhabitant of the Territory shall have right to erect any dam or -build a mill, or place any machinery, or open any sluice, or make any -dyke, except such as are used for mining purposes, or the reduction of -metals, that may impede or obstruct irrigation. - -When any ditch or acequia shall be taken out for agricultural purposes, -the person or persons so taking out such ditch or acequia shall have -the exclusive right to the water, or so much as may be necessary for -such purpose; and it at any time the water so required shall be taken -for mining purposes, the damages shall be assessed and paid. - -All owners and proprietors of arable or irrigable land bordering on, or -irrigable by, any public acequia, shall labor on such public acequia, -whether such owners or proprietors cultivate the land or not; and all -persons interested in a public acequia, whether owners or lessees, -shall labor thereon in proportion to the amount of the land owned or -held by them, and which may be irrigated or subject to irrigation. - -In all districts or precincts, the owners or proprietors of land -irrigated by public acequias are annually called together by the -Justices of the Peace, to elect one or more overseers for the -acequias--and it is the duty of said overseers to superintend the -opening, excavations and repairs of said acequias; to apportion the -number of laborers furnished by the owners and proprietors; to regulate -them according to the quantity of land to be irrigated by each one -from said acequia; to distribute and apportion the water in proportion -to the quantity to which each one is entitled according to the land -cultivated by him; and in making such apportionment, he shall take into -consideration the nature of the seed sown or planted, the crops and -plants cultivated; and to conduct and carry on such distribution with -justice and impartiality. - -If any owner or proprietor of land irrigated by such acequia shall -neglect or refuse to furnish the number of laborers required by the -overseer, he shall be fined, and all fines shall be applied to the -benefit of said acequia. - -Water privileges are, since the United States Act of May 10th, 1872, -located in the same manner as mines, subject to local regulations, i. e. -by definitely locating the five acres by monuments, and recording with -the District or County Recorder. If the local rules and decisions of -the Courts make the privilege forfeitable for non-use, another party -may come in and claim the water right. - -The Federal Courts have decided that the right of way to construct -flumes or ditches, over the public lands, is unquestioned. It has -also been decided that the miners’ right to water, within “reasonable -limits,” is not to be questioned. “It must be exercised,” however, -with due regard to the general condition and needs of a community, and -cannot vest as an individual monopoly. - - -Mill Sites. - -Land non-mineral in character, and not contiguous to the vein or lode, -used by the locator and proprietor for mining or milling purposes, can -be included in any application for patent, to an extent not to exceed -five acres, and subject to examination and payment as fixed for the -superficies of the lode. The owner of a quartz mill or reduction, not -a mine owner in connection therewith, may also receive a mill-site -patent. Such sites are located under the mining act, and in compliance -with local law and customs as recognized. Such possessory rights give -title also to all growing timber thereon. There must in every case be -given satisfactory proof of the non-mineral character of the site, and -the improvements thereon must be equal to $500 in value. A mill passes -to a railroad, if located after a land grant inured to the road. - - -Homestead and Pre-emption. - - -Homesteads.--Every head of a family, widow, single man or woman of the -age of twenty-one years, who is a citizen of the United States, or who -has declared his or her intention of becoming so, can enter upon 80 -acres of government land within the limits of a railroad grant, or 160 -acres outside said limits; and after a continuous residence upon it -and cultivation for five years, an absolute title to the land will be -given by the United States government, at a total cost of about $9 on -80 acres, or $18 on 160 acres. - - -Soldier’s Homestead.--Any soldier or sailor who served during the -rebellion not less than 90 days, and was honorably discharged, can -homestead 160 acres, either within or outside of the limits of a land -grant, and his term of service will be deducted from the five years’ -residence required upon the land; but in any event he must reside one -year upon it. Thus, if he served three years, he would have to reside -upon the land two years; and in the event of his having served four or -five years, one year’s residence would be necessary. - -A soldier or sailor has the privilege of filing application for -homestead upon the land through an agent or attorney, and need not for -six months commence actual settlement upon it. Absence from a homestead -at any time, for more than six months, works a forfeiture of right to -the land. - - -Pre-emptions.--Any person qualified under the homestead laws can -pre-empt 160 acres of government land within the limits of a railroad -grant, and after an actual residence upon and cultivation of the same -for at least six months, can obtain title by payment of $2.50 per acre, -or, if outside the limits, $1.25 per acre. It is imperative, however, -that the person so pre-empting shall (with his family, if any) reside -upon the land. The cultivation of a few acres is sufficient. The same -person, after having complied with the requirements of the laws of -pre-emption, can homestead 80 acres within the railroad grant, or 160 -acres outside the limits. In this way, a soldier or sailor can secure -320 acres within the limits; and it is open to the _world at large_ for -_any_ man to acquire his 240 acres. - - -An Additional Homestead.--In addition to the Homestead and Pre-emption -laws, a recent act has been passed, whereby every settler, as the -fruits of his industry, can obtain another freehold of 160 acres under -the following act: - -An Act to amend an Act entitled “An Act to encourage the growth of -timber on western prairies.” - -“Any person who is the head of a family, or who shall have arrived at -the age of twenty-one years, and is a citizen of the United States, -or who shall have filed his declaration of intention to become such, -who shall plant, protect and keep in a healthy, growing condition for -eight years, 40 acres of timber, the trees thereon not being more than -twelve feet apart each way, on any quarter section of any of the public -lands of the United States, or 20 acres on any legal subdivision of 80 -acres, or 10 acres on any legal subdivision of 40 acres, or one-fourth -part of any fractional subdivision of land less than 40 acres, shall -be entitled to a patent for the whole of said quarter section, or of -such legal subdivision of 80 or 40 acres or fractional subdivision of -less than 40 acres, as the case may be, at the expiration of the said -eight years, on making proof of such fact by not less than two credible -witnesses.” - - -How To Pre-empt.--When you have selected the land you wish for -pre-emption or homesteading under whatever right, it is better to get -a land attorney or clerk in the nearest land office to make out the -necessary papers. This saves time, and the danger of mistakes. - - -The Latest Regulations.--Commissioner Williamson, of the General Land -Office, has issued a circular to all registers and receivers throughout -the country, containing instructions requisite to carry into effect two -Acts of Congress, approved on the 3rd of April, relative to homestead -entries. The first provides a new method of making the final proof -in homestead entries. It dispenses with the present necessity of -attendance at the district land office. The person desiring to avail -himself thereof must appear with his witnesses before the judge of a -court of record of the county and State, or district and Territory in -which the land is situated, and there make the final proof required by -law according to the prescribed forms; which proof is required to be -transmitted by the judge or the clerk of the court, together with the -fee and charges allowed by law. The judge being absent in any case, -the proof may be made before the clerk of the proper court. The fact -of the absence of the judge must be certified in the papers by the -clerk acting in his place. If the land in any case is situated in an -unorganized county, the statute provides that the person may proceed -to make the proof in the manner indicated, in any adjacent county in -the State or Territory. The fact that the county in which the land -lies is unorganized, and that the county in which the proof is made -is adjacent thereto, must be certified by the officer. The other law -to which attention is invited by this circular is entitled “An Act -for the relief of settlers on the public lands under the pre-emption -laws.” Under this statute, a person desiring to change his claim under -a pre-emption filing to that of a homestead entry, should be required, -on making the change, to appear at the proper land office with his -witnesses, and show full compliance with the pre-emption law to the -date of such change, as has heretofore been required in transmutation -cases. Proof of such compliance must be forwarded with the entry -papers to this office. When the person applies to make final proof, -he must show continued residence and cultivation as required by the -homestead law. In case an adverse claim has attached to the land, due -notice in accordance with rules of practice must be given all persons -in interest, of time and place of submitting proof in support of the -application to make such change. The adverse claimants will be entitled -to the privilege of cross-questioning the applicants’ witnesses, and of -offering counter proof. - -Lands formerly designated - - -As Mineral, - -Can be entered by preëmption upon proof that mines or minerals are -not contained therein. Lands found, after entry as agricultural, to -contain valuable mineral deposits, such entry will be cancelled. -Where, however, a patent has issued, and the land has been afterwards -found to embrace a valuable deposit or lode, the title is valid, as -the land has ceased to be part of the public domain. Proof, however, -that the deposit, lode or mine was known before the patent issued -will invalidate title thereto. Titles to town sites and lots are held -subject, also, to mineral rights, which remain in the United States. - -Under Act of 1876, it was permitted to any person, under the limit -of citizenship, or declaration of intent, to proceed upon the public -land, and occupy such area, to the extent of one section, or 640 acres, -which cannot be cultivated or used for agricultural purposes, with the -artificial conveying of water thereon and irrigation; three years being -given to construct the necessary works and improvements. The price of -such land is to be $1.25 per acre, one-fifth being required to be paid -at the time of location. In consequence of doubt as to the character -of land which this act was designed to embrace, and charges made of -fraudulent entries, further legislation will doubtless be had on this -subject. - -Coal lands are allowed to be entered in legal subdivision parcels, -not to exceed 160 acres to any one person, or double that quantity -to an association; the price of the same to be $20 and $10 per acre, -according to whether or not the same be located within fifteen miles of -a completed railroad. - -Rivers are deemed navigable only when they are used, or are susceptible -of being used, for commercial highways. The shores and soil under them -were reserved to the States respectively, and new States have the same -jurisdiction and sovereignty as old ones. The Land Office has never -permitted a complication of such rights by attempting or permitting the -sales of any portion of the beds of said rivers or streams. - -Saline lands are not subject to homestead or preëmption entry. This -policy has been uniform since the beginning of our land system. The -Supreme Court has held uniformly that Congress has uniformly designed -to prevent the sale of saline deposits and springs. The existence of -such deposit or spring withdraws any quarter or other large portion of -a section from settlement and location. - - -United States Land Office Fees. - -United States Land Office Registers and Receivers are permitted by law -to charge the following fees: - - Homestead or pre-emption declaratory statement $1.00 - On final certificate for each 160 acres 5.00 - ” ” ” 320 ” 10.00 - ” ” ” section, or 640 acres 15.00 - Locations by States under grants, for each 160 acres 1.00 - For superintending public land sales 5.00 - For acting on application for patent or adverse mineral claim 5.00 - For testimony either in mineral or agricultural land cases, - taken in writing, for claimants, each 100 words .15 - -Under the laws of Arizona the County Recorders are authorized and -required to keep a record of all mines and mineral deposits that are -located. For this work they are entitled to receive for recording each -claim: - - Not to exceed one folio $1.00 - For each additional folio .20 - -It is also provided by act of territorial legislature, approved -November 9th, 1864, that persons in the military service of the United -States may locate mineral claims, all local or district regulations to -the contrary notwithstanding. - -Under the Act of December 30th, 1865, in relation to placer mines and -mining, it is provided that in the county of Yuma, persons who in -locating placers shall place, for the purpose of mining thereon, a pump -or pumps with a capacity of 100 gallons per minute, may be entitled to -locate of placer land not to exceed 160 acres. This privilege is not to -include placer land which can be worked by water brought in ditches or -flumes. - -Under Act of September 30th, 1867, it is provided that joint mining -claims may be segregated, when any of the owners thereof refuse or -fail to join in working them, after notices in the county or other -newspaper published nearest thereto, for the period of four weeks. -After such notice, the parties issuing may apply to the District Court; -notice is then posted conspicuously by the clerk, for requiring the -delinquents to appear within sixty days, and show why the prayer should -not be granted. At the end of this last period two commissioners may be -appointed, who choose a third; and they examine and report in writing. -A decree shall issue in accord with the report. Thirty days are allowed -for an appeal to the Supreme Court. - -All grants of lands within the Territory, individual or corporate, -whether held under Mexican or United States titles, must be recorded in -the office of the County Recorder where situated. If not so entered, -they are declared null and void. It is provided also that settlers -shall be protected in the occupancy, use and improvement of 340 acres -of public lands. - - -=Arizona Mine Mills.= - -Within the past few months there have been brought into Arizona the -following quartz mills, all of which are now being set up, or are -already in operation: - - Champion (steam drop) 2 stamps - Silver King 5 ” - Townsend & Co.

Buy your tickets for passage on railroad or steamboat, only at the -office, before starting. Many of the runners who offer tickets for sale -in the streets are swindlers. If you intend to go in a steamer or ship, -examine the vessel before getting your ticket, and engage a particular -berth or room in a part of the vessel that is clean, well ventilated -and just comfortably warm. - -2. Never show your money nor let any stranger know that you have any. -Thieves prefer to rob emigrants, who generally carry money with them, -and cannot stop to prosecute them, and have no acquaintances to aid in -the prosecution. Do not mention the fact that you are an emigrant to -persons who have no business to know it. - -3. Never carry any large sum of money with you; you can always buy -drafts at banks, and if you are going to a strange place you can give -your photograph to the banker to forward to your destination, so that -you can be identified without trouble when you want to draw your money. - -4. Avoid those strangers who claim to be old acquaintances, and whom -you do not recollect. A certain class of thieves claim the acquaintance -of ignorant countrymen whom they want to rob. - -5. Do not drink at the solicitation of strangers; the first point of -the thief is to intoxicate or drug his victim. - -6. Do not play cards for money with strangers; in many cases they -confederate to rob emigrants. - -7. Travel in company with old friends, if possible, and do not leave -them. Thieves prefer to take their victims one at a time. - -8. If you see anybody pick up a full pocket-book, and he offers it to -you for a small sum; or if you see some men playing cards, and you -are requested to bet on some point where it seems certain that you -must win; or it you see an auctioneer selling a fine gold watch for -five dollars, don’t let them catch you. Emigrants are systematically -swindled by such tricks. - -9. If, when you arrive in a strange town, you want information and -advice, you can always get it by applying at the right place. First, -apply at the office of the Immigration Society, if there is one. If -you are a foreigner, you will probably find in the large cities a -Consular office or a benevolent society of your countrymen, and you can -apply there. Usually, there are attentive and polite men at the police -office. Public officers generally in the United States are ready to -assist and advise strangers. - -10. Before starting from home, carefully read all the accessible books -about the State or Territory to which you intend to go; and when you -arrive, go to some place where you can find old friends, if you have -any. If you are poor, commence work immediately, but do not be in a -hurry to buy land, unless with the approval of men whom you can trust. -Take a month or two to get information about the country.

It -comprises two enormous open quarries, perhaps 200 feet in depth at the -deepest point, and covering an area of several acres. They must have -been produced with great labor, since there are no traces anywhere of -the use of tools or gunpowder. Tradition refers these workings to a -period of greater antiquity than the Spanish occupation, and declares -them to have been executed by the Aztec inhabitants of the regions -who preceded the present Indian races. Stone hammers have been found -in these quarries, but no tools of any metal. The trachyte is seamed -and fissured throughout, at small intervals, and in every direction; -and there is no reason to doubt that hammers, wedges, and levers -would be quite sufficient to remove the solid masses. The turquoise -occurs fully in the fissures, in the form of narrow seams and plates, -rarely or never exceeding the fraction of an inch in thickness. The -majority of the seams now exposed show the impure green variety, which -is worthless. The Pueblo Indians, like civilized people, value the -light-blue turquoise only. - -Stage arrives at Florence every morning at 7 A. M. from Tucson, and -leaves half an hour later for Yuma; stage from Yuma arrives every -evening at 6 P. M., and leaves for Tucson half an hour later. Stage -to Globe City leaves every Tuesday at 8 A. M., and arrives at 8 P. M. -Saturday. Phœnix and Prescott stages leave every other day at 7 A. -M., and arrive alternate days at 12 midnight. Stage for Silver King -leaves every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7 A. M., and arrives every -Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 4 P. M. - -The military-geographical surveys, up to the fall of 1876, under Lieut. -Wheeler, in central and western Arizona, have covered a total area -of 17,954.6 square miles, or 11,490,944 acres. Of this total, it is -estimated that 25 per cent., or 4,488 square miles, being 2,875,238 -acres, are fit for agricultural purposes, mostly requiring irrigation. -The timber is set down at 10 per cent., or 1,149,094 acres. For -grazing, the estimate is 30 per cent., and as barren, 35 per cent. The -total available land in the area surveyed is thus set down at 65 per -cent., being 11,670.6 square miles, or 7,469,114 acres. - - - Temperatures and Rainfall. - - A = Temperature. - B = Rainfall. - - ======================================================================= - | Camp || Fort || Camp || Camp || - |Apache.|| Bowie. || Grant. || Lowell. || - ----------+-------||---------------||---------------||---------------|| - | A || A | B || A | B || A | B || - ----------+-------||-------|-------||-------|-------||-------|-------|| - | Deg. || Deg. | Inch. || Deg. | Inch. || Deg. | Inch. || - | || | || | || | || - July | 60-104|| 71-103| 0.50 || 58-109| 1.70 || 39-113| 0.08 || - August | 66- 88|| 64- 97| 1.34 || 55-102| 5.20 || 46-104| 2.73 || - September | 52- 92|| 67- 99| 0.01 || 53- 99| 2.50 || 52-103| 0.62 || - October | 28- 92|| 42- 96| 0.03 || 35-100| 0.46 || 21-101| 0.00 || - November | 25- 81|| 33- 85| 1.12 || 31- 81| 3.38 || 30- 91| 1.32 || - December | 6- 62|| 20- 70| 2.02 || 21 82| 1.75 || 25- 78| 0.97 || - January | 6- 68|| 21- 67| 2.33 || 20- 85| 1.58 || 19- 78| 1.76 || - February | 10- 65|| 20- 67| 5.40 || 16- 80| 2.87 || 21- 75| 1.66 || - March | 18- 72|| 32- 79| 1.50 || 28- 86| 2.45 || 30- 79| 1.19 || - April | 31- 88|| 32- 82| 0.35 || 30- 93| 0.58 || 34- 97| 0.43 || - May | 38- 94|| 48-100| 0.00 || 30-101| 0.07 || 42-103| 0.07 || - June | 57-101|| 67-100| 0.00 || 54-105| 0.00 || 44-108| 0.00 || - ----------|-------||-------|-------||-------|-------||-------|-------|| - | || | 14.60 || | 22.54 || | 10.83 || - ==========|=======||=======|=======||=======|=======||=======|=======|| - ---continued - - ============================================================== - | Camp || Camp || Camp || - | Mcdowell. || Mojave. || Verde. || - | || || || - ----------+---------------||---------------||---------------|| - | A | B || A | B || A | B || - ----------+-------|-------||-------|-------||-------|-------|| - | Deg. | Inch. || Deg. | Inch. || Deg. | Inch. || - | | || | || | || - July | 72-113| 0.00 || 47-118| 0.00 || 48-113| 0.14 || - August | 65-108| 0.56 || 52-116| 3.80 || 58-102| 2.52 || - September | 54-110| 0.00 || 45-108| 0.00 || 41- 97| 0.26 || - October | 33-108| 0.00 || 27-105| 0.00 || 21- 95| 0.00 || - November | 33- 99| 0.21 || 36- 89| 0.50 || 20- 74| 0.74 || - December | 27- 83| 4.70 || 29- 67| 2.80 || 6- 57| 3.26 || - January | 24- 83| 3.10 || 27- 70| 0.19 || 5- 59| 2.65 || - February | 18- 78| 2.86 || 29- 69| 5.00 || 12- 60| 2.05 || - March | 31- 79| 1.06 || 39- 80| 0.20 || 19- 72| 1.05 || - April | 43- 97| 1.30 || 54- 96| 0.10 || 27- 87| 1.48 || - May | 43-105| 0.30 || 63-107| 0.90 || 34-102| 0.08 || - June | 54-114| 0.00 || 75-111| 0.00 || 43-107| 0.00 || - ----------|-------|-------||-------|-------||-------|-------|| - | | 14.09 || | 13.40 || | 14.19 || - ==========|=======|=======||=======|=======||=======|=======|| - ---continued - - ============================================ - | Fort || Fort | - | Whipple. || Yuma. | - | (Prescott). || (Yuma City). | - ----------+-------|-------||-------|-------| - | A | B || A | B | - ----------+-------|-------||-------|-------| - | Deg. |Inch. || Deg. |Inch. | - | | || | | - July | 65- 91| 1.56 || 69-112| 0.00 | - August | 64- 85| 4.78 || 71-106| 1.60 | - September | 50- 82| 0.30 || 59-104| 0.00 | - October | 33- 81| 0.00 || 48-100| 0.00 | - November | 29- 72| 0.80 || 46- 86| 0.00 | - December | 10- 65| 2.55 || 39- 61| 0.64 | - January | 17- 67| 5.51 || 37- 72| 0.55 | - February | 10- 55| 5.68 || 35- 70| 0.85 | - March | 20- 65| 3.56 || 40- 82| 0.20 | - April | 34- 75| 1.70 || 45- 95| 0.00 | - May | 41- 82| 0.65 || 50-102| 0.00 | - June | 55- 88| 0.00 || 66-108| 0.00 | - ----------|-------|-------||-------|-------| - | |27.09 || | 3.84 | - ==========|=======|=======||=======|=======| - -At Florence, July, 1877, the thermometer stood at 100 to 115 deg. - -In Gila Valley, near the mouth of San Pedro, August and September, -1876, 50 deg. at sunrise; 105 deg. at 2 P.

For forty years, he produced and -distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of -volunteer support. - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in -the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our website which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
