This office has received a number of inquiries from people interested in re gard to what they will bave to do in order to make final proof on tim ber claims that were advertised to be mad before A. C. Palmer, whoe term of office expired in October. We understand that Mr. Palmer is trying to settle this and hopes to have it satisfactorily adjusted in a short time, We have consulted several parties, in regard to thisj who are in a position to kuow, and they say the best plan is for the claimnant to the land to mane out an affidavit and send it to the la; d office for a new tiling on the land and readvertise before making their final proof. This will cost them about 110, where if they went ahead and made final proof before some other officer than the one specified in the advertisement, they take chances of having their deed to the land held up. I his would cause a good deal of delay and besides give some one else a chance to contest their right to hold the land.
