* 231.92 acres under act of 1873. 



* 916.41 acres under act of 1b74; 3 claima abandoned. 



* 762.78 acres in 7 claims, September 1, 1677. Perhaps 10 acree planted. As timber land must be irrl- 

 g: ted it will be doubtful whether the claims can be perfected. In San Francisco district, 3 claims of 

 217.2 acres furleited. 



* A letter from the register giving the record of his office to September 1, 1877, shows that under the 

 act of 1873 14 entiies wore made, enibracing 2,080 acres, and under the amended act of 1874, 370 entries, 

 embracing about 57,000 acres. Of these, 192 had been canceled, and it was thought that not more than 

 20 would be completed. Not more than 3 Ooo acres had been successfully planted, and probably no at- 

 tempt had been made to plant more than 6,000 acres. 



» 320 acres in 2 claims under act of 1873, and 13,794.04 in 92 claims (September 1, 1877). It is estimated 

 that half will forfeit. 



6 A letter from the Register shows that 173 claims (26,596.17 acres) had been entered under act of 1873, 

 and 1,001 claims (140,159.:J9 acres) up to September 1, 1877, under act of 1874. Of these, 393 had been can- 

 celed, and probably many more would fail. Perhaps 5,000 acres had been planted. 



'In this district 406 entries were made under the act of 1873, embracing 62,337.8 acres, and 1,341 

 under the act of 1874 (to September 1, 1877), embracing 155,928.3 acres. A very small number of these 

 entries wiU be consummated, and 402 have already been canceled. 



* A statement dated September 1, 1877, shows that 28 claims (4,490.3 acres) had been entered under the 

 act of 187,3, and 712 claims (93,369 acres) under act of 1874. Of these, 58 had been canceled. Probably 

 440 acres had been planted. 



9 A statement dated September 1, 1877, shows 123 claims (19,680 acres) under act of 1873, and 418 claims 

 (56,173 acres) under act of 1874. Of these, 78 had been canceled. About 5,000 acres had been success- 

 fully planted, and it was thought that 60 per cent, would bo h<ild for completion of title. 



"318 on Ist of September, 1»77 (.33,307 acres), of which 83 claims (10,923) had been canceled. About 

 a quarter of the claims were being planted.

 ber 1, 1877; 113 had been canceled. About 17,500 acres successfully planted. 



" Up to September 1, 1877, 3 entries, and since then to January 26, 1878, 3 more; in all 480 acres. It is 

 thouiiht thut but 2 will be perfected, embracing 240 acres.
