Homestead Land.—The register and receiver of the land office at Redding, Cal., have received notice that a tract in this district, hitherto in temporary forest reserves, is thrown open to settlement, but can not be filed on until due notice has been given by ninety days' advertising. The homesteader can settle upon the land now, establishing a squatter's right, tho he can not make a genuine filing until the advertising is completed. The land lies in the Lassen Peak, the Klamath and Trinity reserves, and is situated in eastern Shasta, eastern Tehama, Trinity, and Siskiyou Counties. This area contains considerable rocky and brushy hills, of little or no value for agriculture, and fit only for grazing. The climate is excellent.
