It is hereby ordered that the public lands in T. 62 N., R. 2. E. of the fourth principal meridian, Minnesota, be and the same are hereby withdrawn from settlement, location, sale, entry, and all forms of appropriation, pending a resurvey…

I may say that they are very extensive and embrace very large sections of the judiciary as well as the laity of lawyers.
