John Smith, being first duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the identical person who, on the day of, A. D. 1896, made mineral entry No. 777, in the land office, for the Blank Lode mining claim. That affiant has lost the receiver's duplicate receipt issued to him at the date of said mineral entry, and is wholly unable to find the same, though he has made diligent search therefor.

That affiant is the present owner of said Blank Lode mining claim, not having sold the same since the date of said mineral entry.

Wherefore, affiant asks that the United States patent issued upon said mineral entry be delivered to him.
