CLASSIFICATION IN RELATION TO WATER RESOURCES. 189 



Orders of designation originating in the Geological Survey have 

 been serially numbered both with general and State- numbers. The 

 form of letter and order used is here shown : 



Dbpartment of the Interior, 

 United States Geological Survey, 



Washington, January 6, 1913. 

 The honorable the Secretary of the Interior. 



Sir: The following areas of land to which the enlarged-homestead act of 

 February 19, 1909 (35 Stat., 639), as construed by the department, is applicable 

 are, In my opinion, not susceptible of successful irrigation at a reasonable cost 

 from any known source of water supply, and I therefore recommend their 

 designation under the said act: 



Enlarged-Homestead Designation No. 210. 

 Montana No. 59. 



Montana meridian, Montana. 



T. 9 N., R. 7 B., sec. 22, lots 2, 3, 4, and 5, NW. i of SB. i. 

 [Here follows remainder of land description.] 



The above-listed lands will be enterable under the provisions of the en- 

 larged-homestead act in so far as they may be vacant, public, nontimbered, 

 and nonmineral and unaffected by any special provision of law, withdrawal, or 

 reservation inconsistent with the provisions of said act. The surface of coal 

 lands may, however, be entered subject to the reservation of the coal to the 

 Government. 



The area included in this designation is approximately 1,485 acres. None- 

 of the lands listed above are withdrawn in oil, phosphate, or power-site re- 

 serves. 



Very respectfully, Geo. Otis Smith, 



Director. 



Approved January 28, 1913, and referred to the General Land Office to be- 

 come effective February" 27, 1913. Samuei, Adams, 



First Assistant Secretary. 



The office record of the Survey relating to enlarged-homestead 

 designations consists of Statfe maps on which the designated lauds 

 are platted, a file of orders of designation arranged by serial num- 

 bers, a file of minutes similarly arranged showing the data on which 

 the designation is based, and township cards on which are platted 

 the designated areas. Cancellations are similarly recorded and filed, 

 all designations and cancellations affecting any township, however, 

 being shown on a single township card.
