                         TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS
 
                     CHAPTER 9--DESERT-LAND ENTRIES
 
Sec. 336. Further extension in addition to that authorized by 
        sections 333 to 335 of this title
        
    The Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, in addition to 
the extensions authorized by sections 333 to 335 of this title or other 
law existing prior to February 25, 1925, grant to any entryman under the 
desert-land laws of the United States a further extension of time of not 
to exceed three years within which to make final proof: Provided, That 
such entryman shall, by his corroborated affidavit, filed in the land 
office of the district where such land is located, show to the 
satisfaction of the Secretary that because of unavoidable delay in the 
construction of the irrigation works intended to convey water to the 
land embraced in his entry, he is, without fault on his part, unable to 
make proof of the reclamation and cultivation of said lands as required 
by law within the time limited therefor: And provided further, That the 
entryman, his heirs, or his duly qualified assignee, has in good faith 
complied with the requirements of law as to yearly expenditures and 
proof thereof, and shall show, under rules and regulations to be 
prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior, that there is a reasonable 
prospect that if the extension is granted he will be able to make the 
final proof of reclamation, irrigation, and cultivation required by law.

(Feb. 25, 1925, ch. 329, 43 Stat. 982.)
