Sec. 3.
Whenever, in any court in this state, or any other state, or in any
court of the United States, there are original or certified copies of any
deed, conveyance, contract, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument in
writing affecting real estate in such county, copies thereof, certified by
the clerk of such court, under his seal of office, may be made and recorded
in such county where the records have been so burned or destroyed, and in
recording the same the recorder shall record all the certificates attached
thereto; and if any of such certificates show the previous recording of the
same in the county where the records have been so burned or destroyed, the
date of filing for record in such county appearing in said certificate so
recorded shall be deemed and taken as the date of the record thereof.
Copies of any such record, so authorized to be made under this section,
duly certified by the recorder of any such county, under his seal of
office, shall be received in evidence, and have the same force and effect
as certified copies of the original record.
