Claims: Manual Amendment, Examination of June 11 Entries 



Amendment No. 136 to the Manual is now in print, and copies may 

 be secured from the property clerk at Ogden. This amendment elimi- 

 nates indorsement (e) on page 15, and also the third paragraph on 

 page 16, thereby removing the distinction which previously existed with 

 reference to the examination of entries under the act of June 11, 1900, 

 and those made under the homestead laws. (Applicable only to lands 

 listed since August 10, 1912.) 

 Claims : Manual Amendment 139, Final Proof Notice Indorsements 



The following amendment to the Manual has been approved and is 

 now in the hands of the printer : 



Claims. Since it is desirable that the procedure of the Forest Service 

 and that of the General Land Office should conform as nearly as 

 possible to each other in the return of final proof notices, the instruc- 

 tions in the last paragraph of page 15 of the Claims Manual are hereby 

 amended by substituting for indorsement (6) the following: 



"(6) Please withhold final certificate; report submitted (or will be 

 submitted) to the district forester -, 19 ; " 



Also for use when a report can not be made prior to the return 

 of the notice to the Register and Receiver and the Supervisor has not 

 sufficient information at hand to warrant the use of indorsement (a), 

 the following indorsement : 



"(f) Please withhold final certificate until field investigation has 

 been made and report submitted by the Forest Service. A report will 

 be forwarded to the district forester on or about , 19 ."
