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.
