Stat., and, in regard to surveys of public lands, involves a Federal question reviewable by this court under § 709, Rev. Stat.</p> <p>Evidence other than field notes of a survey of public lands may be admissible if it has a legitimate tendency to precisely locate the land, even though it may tend to show an error in the field notes, and, •under the circumstances of this case, such, evidence was proper.
