Sec. 2562.4  Survey.

    (a) If the land applied for be unsurveyed and no objection to its 
survey is known to the authorizing officer, he will furnish the 
applicant with a certificate stating the facts, and, after receiving 
such certificate, the applicant may make application to the State 
Director for the survey of the land. Upon receipt of an application, the 
State Director will, if conditions make such procedure practicable and 
no objection is shown by his records, furnish the applicant with an 
estimate of the cost of field and office work, and upon receipt of the 
deposit required will issue appropriate instructions for the survey of 
the claim, such survey to be made not later than the next surveying 
season. The sum so deposited by the applicant for survey will be deemed 
an appropriation thereof and will be held to be expended in the payment 
of the cost of the survey, including field and office work, and upon the 
acceptance of the survey any excess over the cost shall be repaid to the 
depositor or his legal representative.
    (b) In case it is decided that by reason of the inaccessibility of 
the locality embraced in an application for the survey, or by reason of 
other conditions, it will result to the advantage of the Government or 
claimant to have the survey executed by a deputy surveyor, the State 
Director will deliver an order to the applicant for such survey, which 
will be sufficient authority for any deputy surveyor to make a survey of 
the claim.
    (c) In the latter contingency the survey must be made at the expense 
of the applicant, and no right will be recognized as initiated by such 
application unless actual work on the survey is begun and carried to 
completion without unnecessary delay.
