the entrymnn may. after due compli- 11
alter with the terms of the home- 1
stead law in the matter of residence, 1
cultivation and improvement, submit f
to the register and receiver a showing *
as to such compliance, duly corroho '
rated by two witnesses, and if such '
evidence satisfactorily shows that the
homesteader is In a position to submit 1

next succeeding surveying season, Is
sue proper instructions for the survey
of the land so entered, without ex
pense to the entrymnn. who may j (
thereafter submit final proof as in ;
similar entries of surveyed lands So
far as practicable, such survey shall
follow the general system of public

lis boundaries thereto. After the stir
ey has been duly made and the plat
hereof tiled, proof may he submitted
in the entry as in case of ordinary j
-ntries for surveyed lands. (See par. I
S.)
“However, if the settler desires to
ibtain earlier action in the matter of
he survey, or if he desires to avoid
he necessity of conforming to a sur
ey made under the provision of law
hove referred to, he may have a sur
'ey of the tract made at his own ex
lense by a deputy surveyor, appointed
iy the United States surveyor general,
ifter the survey has been completed j
nil been approved by the surveyor ;
;eneral. certified copies of the Held
Kites and plat must lie tiled at the
ocal United States land office, to
ether with the settler's notice of in
ention to submit proof upon his
