Important JLanil Ofiice Circular.
DErARTMK"T op the Interior.
(jESERAL Land Office.
Washington, 1). ('., June 2J, lh87. )
Registers and Receivers,
United States Land Office.
Gentlemen:
The first section of ths act of
March 3, 1877, entitled "An act to
provide for the sale of desert lands
in certain States and Territories,"
provides for the reclamation of
such lands by ''conducting water
upon tho same." The second sec
tion provides "that all lands ex
clusive of timber lands and mineral
lauds which will not, without arti
ficial irrigation, produce some ag
ricultural crop, shall be deemed
desert lands within the moaning
of this act," and the third section
provides that '"the determination
of what may be considered desert
land shall be subject to the decision
and regulation of the Commissioner
of the General Land Olfice."
It is therefore prescribed as fol
lows: 1st. Lands bordering upon
streams, lakes or other natural
bodies of water, or through or up
on which there is any river, stream,
arroyo, lake, pond, body of water,
or living spring, are not subject to
entry under the desert laud law
until the clearest proof of their
desert character is furnished.
2d. Lauds which producenative
grasses sufficient iu quantity, -if
unfed by grazing animals, to make
an ordinary crop of hay in usual
seasons are not desert lands.
3d. Lands which will produce
an agricultural crop of anv kind,
in amount to make tho cultivation
reasonably remunerative, are not
i desert.
4;h. Lr.nds containing sufficient
moisture to produce a natural
growth of trees, are not to bo class
ed as desert lauds.
1. Tho amount of land which
may bo eutered by any one person
under the destrt land act cannot
exceed one section, or six hundred
and forty acres, which must be in
compact form, and no person can
mako more than one entry.
2. Desert land entries are not
assignable, and the transfer of
such entries, whether by deed, con
tract, or agreement, vitiates the
entry. An entry made in the in
terest or for tho benefit of any
other person, firm or corporation,
or with int' n1: that the title
shall bo conveyed to any other
person, firm, or corporation, is
illegal.
3. The price at which lands may
be entered under the desert land
act is the same as under the pre
emption law, viz: Single mitiimum
lands at $1.25 per acre, and double
minimum lauds at 2.50 per acre.
(Section 2357, U. S. ltev. Stat )
4. A party desiring to avail him
self of the privileges of the desert
laud act must file with the Register
and Receiver of the proper district
land office a declaration, under
oath, setting forth that tho appli
cant is a citizen of tho United
States or that he has declared his
intentions to become such. Iu the
latter case a duly certified copy of
his declaration of iuteu'iou to be
come a citizen must bo presented
and filed. It must also be set up
that tho applicant has not pre
viously exercised tho right of entry
under the provisions of this act,
and that ho intends to reclaim the
tract of land applied for by con
ducting water thereon within three
years from date of his declaration.
The declaration must also contain
a description of the land applied
for, by legal sub-division if sur
veyed, or if unsnrveyod as clearly
as possible without a survey, by
giving with as much clearness and
precision as possibio tho locality
of tho tract with reference to the
already established lines of survey,
or to known and conspicuous land
marks, so as to admit of its bi-iug
readily identified when t''e lines
of survey come to be extended.
5. Your attention is called to the
terms of this declaration as pro
vided by existing regulations
I I'lUiu 1 271 1, which are such as
cloths and blanks for self measurement to any address.
SHIRTS,
require a personal knowledge by
the entrymen of lands intended to
be entered. The required affidavit
cannot be made by an agent nor
upon information and belief and
you will hereafter reject all appli
cations in which it does not appear
that the entryman made the aver
ments contained in the sworn dec
laration upon his own knowledge
derived from a personal examina
tion of the lands. The blank in
the declaration, to wit: "that I be
came acquainted with said land by
," must be filled in with a
full statement of the facts of his
acquaintance with the land and
how ho knows its character as al
leged. Said declaration must be
corroborated by the affidavits of
two reputable witnesses who are
acquainted with the land and with
the applicant, and who must clearly
state their acquaintance with the
premises, and the facts as to con
dition and situation of the land
upon which they base their judge
ment (Form i 074 )
G. Applicants and witnesss must
in all cases state their place of
actual residence, their business or
occupations, and their post-office
addresses. It is not sufficient to
name the couuty and State or Ter
ritory where a party livos, but the
town or city must be named, and
if a residence is in a city the street
and number must be given.
7 The declaration and corrob
orating affidavits may be made be
fore either a Register or Receiver
of the land district in which the
lauds are situated, or before the
judge cr clerk of a court of record
of the county iu which the lands
are situated, and if the lands are
in an unorganized couuty then the
affidavit may be made iu an adja
cent couuty. The depositions of
applicant and witnesses in making
fiual proof must be taken in the
same manner; and the authority
of any practice or regulation per
mitting original or final desert
land affidavits to be executed be
fore any other officer then those
named above, is hereby revoked.
Tho affidavits of applicant and
witnesses must in every instance
either of original application or
final proof, be made at the same
time and place and before the same
officer.
8. When proof of tho character
of the land has been made as above
required to the satisfaction of the
district officer, the applicant will
pay the Receiver the sum of twenty
five cents per acre where the land
is singlo minimum, and fifty cents
per acre where tho land is double
minimum. The Register will re
ceive and file his declaration, and
the Register and Receiver will
jointly issue, in duplicate, a certi
ficate (Form 4199) acknowledg
ing the receipt of the twenty-five
or fifty cents per acre, as the case
may be, and tho filing of the dec
laration One of these duplicates
will bo delivered to applicant; the
other will bo retained by the Reg
ister and Receiver with the dec
laration and proof. They will bear
a number according to tho order
in wnich the certificate was issued.
The Register will keep a record of
the cirtiticates issued, showing tho
number, date, amount paid, name
of applicant, and description of tho
laud applied for in each case, and,
in addition, he will note the same
upon his plats and records as in
cases of ordinary entry. At the end
of each month he will, with his
regular returns, f orwad to the Gen
eral Land OSice an abstract of the"
declarations filed and certificates
issued under that act during tho
mouth, accompanying the same
with declarations aud proofs filed
and tho retained copy of certificate
in each case. Tho Receiver will
also account for the money re
ceived under this act in the usual
form.
9. Surveys of desert laud claims
cannot be made in advance of tho
regular progress of the public sur
veys. After a township has been
surveyed the claim must be ad
justed to the lines the survey.
"A

.TC;
TEXASi
10. Persons making desert laud
entries must acquire a clear right
to the use of sufficient water for
the purpose of irrigating the whole
of the laud, and of keeping it per
manently irrigated. A person who
makes a desert land entry before
ho has secured a water right, does
so at his own risk; and as one en-
i i , i i
iry exuausis ins rignt oi Diry.
such right cannot be restored or
again exercised because of failure'
to obtain water to irrigate the land
selected by him.
11. The source and' volume of
the water Bupply, how acquired:
and how maintained, the carrying"
capacity of the ditches, and the'
number and length of all ditches'
on each legal sub-division of the
land, must be specifically shown.-
state in fall what has been done in
the matter of reclamation and iro.
provement, and by whom, and
must each answer fully and of their
own personal knowledge, the ques
tions propounded in the final proof
depositions. They must state
specifically whether they at any
time saw the land effectually irri
gated, for without knowledge thus
derived, tho fact of reclamation re-"
mains a. matter of conjecture.
(Case of Charles H. Schick, 5 L.
D, 151.)
12. Tho whole tract and each
legal sub-Jivision for which proof
is offered must be actually irrigat
ed. If there are some high points'
or uneven surfaces which are prac'
tically not susceptible of irrigation,
the nature, extent, and arear of
such spots must be fully stated.
In this connection, the right of the'
water used, the quantity of it,
the manner of its distribution, and.
tho permaneuco of the supply are
all to be takeu into consideration.
(Case of George Ramsey, 5 L. D.,
120.)
13. Before final proof shall here
after be submitted by any person
claiming to enter lands under the1
desert land act, such person wilt
be required to file a notice of in
tention to make such proof which
shall be published in the same
manner as required in homestead
and pre-emption case3.
14. Contests may be instituted
against desert land entries for il
legality or fraud in the inception
of the entry, or for failure to com
ply with the law after entry, or for
a'iy sufficient cause affecting Le
legality or validity of the claim.
Contestants will be allowed a pre
ference right of entry for thirty
days after notice of the cancella
tion of the contested entry, in the
same mauner as in homestead and
pre-emption cases, and the Regis
ter will give the same notice and
be entitled to the same fee for
notice as in other cases.
15. When relinquishments of
desert laud entries are filed in the
local land office, the entries will b&
conceled by the Register and Re
ceiver in the same manner as ia
homestead, pre-emption, aud timber-culture
casos, under the first
section of the act of May 14, 1880.
(21 Stat. 140.)
10. Nothing herein will be con
strued to have retroactive effect in
cases where the official regulations:
of this Department in force at ther
dato of entry were complied with
