present at the time, and if he claims as a locator he must file a dulv certified 
copy of the location from the office of the proper recorder. 
86. In order that the “ boundaries ” and “extent ” of the claim may be 
shown, it will be incumbent upon the adverse claimant to file a plat showing his 
entire claim, its relative situation or position with the one against which he 
claims, and the extent of the conflict. This plat must be made from an actual 
survey by a United States deputy surveyor, who will officially certify thereon to 
its correctness; and in addition there must be attached to such plat of survey a 
certificate or sworn statement by the surveyor as to the approximate value of 
the labor performed or improvements made upon the claim by the adverse party 
or his predecessors in interest, and the plat must indicate the position of any 
shafts, tunnels, or other improvements, if any such exist, upon the claim of the 
party opposing the application, and by which party said improvements were 
made : Provided , however, That, if the application for patent describes the claim 
by legal subdivisions, the adverse claimant, if also claiming by legal subdivisions, 
may describe his adverse claim in the same manner without further survey or plat. 
87. Upon the foregoing being filed within the sixty days as aforesaid, the 
register, or in his absence the receiver, will give notice in writing to both parties 
to the contest that such adverse claim has been filed, informing them that the 
party who filed the adverse claim will be required within thirty days from the 
date of such filing to commence proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction 
to determine the question of right of possession, and to prosecute the same with 
reasonable diligence to final judgment, and that, should such adverse claimant 
fail to do so, his adverse claim will be considered waived, and the application 
for patent be allowed to proceed upon its merits. 
88. When an adverse claim is filed as aforesaid, the register or receiver will 
indorse upon the same the precise date of filing, and preserve a record of the 
date of notifications issued thereon; and thereafter all procedings on the appli¬ 
cation for patent will be suspended, with the exception of the completion of the 
publication and posting of notices and plat, and the filing of the necessary proof 
thereof, until the controversy shall have been adjudicated in court, or the adverse 
claim waived or withdrawn. 
89. Where an adverse claim has been filed and suit thereon commenced within 
the statutory period, and final judgment determining the right of possession 
rendered in favor of the applicant, it will not be sufficient for him to file with 
the register a certificate of the clerk of the court, setting forth the tacts as to 
such judgment, but he must, before he is allowed to make entry, file a certified 
copy of the judgment, together with the other evidence required by section 
2326, Revised Statutes.
