The blank form required by section five to be forwarded to each known claimant shall be accompanied by a notice that the statement therein called for must be promptly presented properly prepared. Whenever the Secretary of Commerce and Police shall, as provided by law, designate a stream or other body of water on which a priority list shall be determined, it shall be the duty of all claimants interested in such stream or other body of water to appear or submit proof of their respective claims, at the time and in the manner required by law; and any such claimant who shall fail to appear in such proceedings or to submit proof of his appropriation or claim shall be barred and estopped from subsequently asserting any rights theretofore acquired upon the stream or other body of water embraced in such proceedings, and shall be held to have forfeited all rights to the use of said stream or other body of water theretofore claimed by him: Provided, however, That any claimant upon whom no other service shall be made than by publication in a newspaper, or by posted notices relative to such proceedings and taking of testimony may, within one year after the date, inclusive, of the approval of the list of priorities for the stream or other body of water, by the Secretary of Commerce and Police, have the approval opened and be let in to give proof of his claim; but before the approval can be opened in such case, the applicant shall give notice to all other persons interested in the water of the stream or other body of water as required of claimants in original proceedings and make it 1 appear to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works that during the pendency of the original proceedings he had no actual notice thereof in time to appear or to make proof of his claims and all parties interested may present affidavits to the matter of actual notice of the applicant."
