There is a story of a locator, for
example. A number of-years ago
he homesteaded 120 acres on the
Platte River west of Glrnroak.
Wyo. When he went to the
Douglas land* office to make final
proof, the register told him that
his homestead right entitled him
to a" full 160 acres and suggested
that the necessary papers should
include 40 acres additional. The
Locator had selected the 120 acres
that he wanted and was of the
opinon that he had no use for the
other forty. When he found that
the additional filling fee would be
only $1 JO he is reported to have
said:
“All right. 111 plunge that much
on it.” . It was on this 40 acres
that a Mineral Company, a short
time afterwards brought in Com-
mercial Mineral and was com-
pelled to pay the Locator royal-
ties of more than $100 a day.
But he had to decide.
Of course even in this case, the
locator had to make the decision
to “plunge” to the extent < f $1.50
