RE1ooAr1Na.-A is usual, towards the
first of the year numbers Of parties are
on the watch for mining claims that have
not had tho requisite amount Of work
done on them and that are subject to re-
location. This was also the case in and
around Phoebe this year and the Recorder
is now busy fling notices Of claims that
were taken up on the first day of the
year. Several parties started from here
on Tuesday, the last day of 1878, so as
to be on hand after the year had expired.
We heard of couple of cases in which
knives and revolvers were drawn, but
fortunately the difficulties were amicably
settled without bloodshed. This thing OF
persons holding claims from year to year
simply by relocating is altogether wrong.
The mining laws in regard to this ques.
ton, we think, nre very deficient. The
law ought to be SO amended as to bar
any person or persons from relocating
any claim or claims in which they are
interested, until the requisite amount OF
assessment work prescribed by law is
done upon them.
