Decision of an Important Case.

4
A very important mining case
has just been decided at Cerbat
We refer to the case of John Ba.
ker and Bobert Orr, VS.. Jackson
McCracken, III. A. Owen and A.
E. Davis, involving the title to
the "San Francisco" claim on
the McCracken lode. The case
came up for hearing at the last
term of the Mohave District Court,
and was tried before Hon. Chas.
A. Tweed, Judge.
1t appeared from the facts that
the plaintiffs took armed and for
chile possession of the claim, driv-
ing off the defendants, or in 9TH
er words-to use a Pt0cheiSm-
Jumped the claim" and also that
the plaintiffs obtained a deed
from defendants, granting one
John Tolvey, who had previously
given deed to McCracken &
Owen for the same property. 1t
appeared that the deed previous
ly given by Tolvey was imperfect
ly acknowledged, and although
recorded, did not impart notice.
The defendant traced actual no
tice to plaintiff. The case was on
trial IA days, and was closely con-
tested on both sides. The plain
tiffs were represented by Judge
Pitzer, of Phoebe, Neveda, Judge
Goodwin of Prescott, and Saml.
Hamilton. Esq, of Cerbat. The
defendants were represented by
Murat Masterson, Esq. and Hon.
John A. Rush of Prescott, and
John Leonard, Esq., of Mineral
Park. Judge Tweed found for
the defendants on all the issues,
and held that the possession of
plaintiffs is not such a possession
as is contemplated by the Statutes.
The Court event for" Jumping
claims generally. The value of
this mine was admitted on the
trial to be $2,OOO,OOO.
