cation of the following Terms and Conditions
under which Claimants will be permitted to
obtain that indulgence.
To afford Claimants of this last mentioned

series of claims in cases where they are con-
tiguous, and form a solid block.
2nd. Those whose awards amount to 50
acres, and do not exceed 320 acres.
