more newspapers published in the Territory, and by: posting notices in at least three public places in the County of Maricopa, for a period of thirty days; such advertisment and notices shall specify that there is in the hands of said Treasurer sufficient money to pay all outstanding bonds and interest accrued in pursuance of this act, and that unless presented for payment before a date named in such advertisement and notices, which date shall not be more than ten days subsequent to the expiration of said notices, the interest on all bonds so outstanding shall cease.
