JUMPING CLAIMS AGAIN.

We learn that an intense cxcitemant prevails
among the claimants on the Military Reserve and
neighbo:hood, much greater than We supposed,
in consequence of their claims having recently
been jumped. We are informed by poor but
worthy man, whose claim was rudely taken from
him, that since Sunday evening last, upwards of
one hundred claims have changed hands. In ma
ny cases in the morning, four shanties have been
found on quarter section, where before there
was but one. There seems to be desperate and
piratical spirit abroad, which has seized number
of individuals, who are determined at all haz-
ards, to wrest from the honest poor their hard
earnings. As We have said in previous article,
Spectators have no right to hold one or two
claims, and when they have such claims, and the
fact is known, We do not blame airy one for jump
ing them but poor men, whose intentions are to
locate upon and cultivate their claims, should
never be disturbed, and he who wantonly will
take possession of that which is rightfully theirs,
is fit for almost any crime.-Among the claims
jumped there are many who belong to the lum-
bermen who are now engaged in the pineries.
As matter of course, they could not improve
their claims during the winter and hence they
were obliged to leave them, contemplating in the
spring to return and build upon them. They will
not submit to any innovations on the part of
strangers, and they ought not to. We hope that
this claim jumping will not result in any thing
serious, but unless great caution is used, we are
fearful it will. We counsel moderation, but at
the same time frmncss. No man, who has a
spark of manhood in his bosom, will jump the
claim of his neighbor when that neighbor is act
ing in good faith, for by so doing he places him
self on par with the midnight robber.
