He should also report as t@ the use or adaptability of the claim for placer min¬ 
ing; whether water has been brought upon it in sufficient quantity to mine the 
same, or whether it can be procured for that purpose; and, finally, what works 
or expenditures have been made by the claimant or his grantors for the develop¬ 
ment of the claim, and their situation and location with respect to the same as 
applied for. 
(5) This examination should be reported by the deputy under oath to the 
surveyor-general, and duly corroborated ; and a copy of the same should be 
furnished with the application for patent to the claim, constituting a part 
thereof, and included in the oath of the applicant. 
(6) Applications awaiting entry, whether published or not, must be made to 
conform to these regulations, with respect to examination as to the character 
of the land. Entries already made will be suspended for such additional proofs 
as may be deemed necessary in each case. 
MILL-SITES. 
64. Section 2337 provides that “where nonmineral land not contiguous to 
the vein or lode is used or occupied by the proprietor of such vein or lode for 
mining or milling purposes, such nonadjacent surface ground may be embraced 
and included in an application for a patent for such vein or lode, and the same 
may be patented therewith, subject to the same preliminary requirements as to 
survey and notice as are applicable to veins or lodes; hut no location hereafter 
made of such nonadjacent land shall exceed five acres, and payment for the 
same must be made at the same rate as fixed by this chapter for the superficies 
of the lode. The owner of a quartz-mill or reduction-works, not owning a 
mine in connection therewith, may also receive a patent for his mill-site, as pro¬ 
vided in this section.” 
65. To avail themselves of this provision of law, parties holding the possessory 
right to a vein or lode, and to a piece of nonmineral land not contiguous theieto, 
for mining or milling purposes, not exceeding the quantity allowed for such pur¬ 
pose by section 2337* United States Revised Statutes, or prior laws, under 
which the land was appropriated, the proprietors of such vein or lode may file 
in the proper land-office their application for a patent, under oath, in manner 
already set forth herein, which application, together with the plat and field-notes, 
may include, embrace, and describe, in addition to the vein or lode, such non¬ 
contiguous mill-site, and after due proceedings as to notice, etc., a patent will 
be issued conveying the same as one claim. 
66. In making the survey in a case of this kind, the lode claim should be 
described in the plat and field-notes as “ Sur. No. 37, A,” and the mill-site as 
No. <30-8
