LAND cnAanrso-For tia pas. 81.

LAM 6hanBtNc' W viz paw .rAA
or seven years it has been known by
number of perso, that the donation
claim of w N Bell. in North Seattle.
contained more acres Of land than the
patent calls for. but until recently the
property was not of sufficient value to
induce any one TO make an effort TO Sc
cure the overplus. A few week, ago
Mr. w Is Hall went TO the Surveyor
Generals office and made sd examine
ton of the field notes, after which he
surveyed Bells land and came to the
conclusion til At therewould be millions
in taking possession of q portion of
Bells CLAIM. He informed numbe:
of friends of his intention, and some OF
them joined in with him and haye
made locations under what is known as
the 'townsite act The locstors along
the water front are Jacob leases. u
tract 306x6l2 feet; WIN Meydenbauer.
same sized tract; August Hess, same;
G L Manning. same; W s Wiggin,
same; and w b Hall. piece 612x6l2.
Besides these Mr. Wiggin has located
on l3 acr, on the eastern end OF Bells
clam. which belongs to the railroad
company. The former locations cover
block 7. belonging TO the railroad;
blocks and Ii. belonging to W g
Squire; blocks 9 aad IL. belonging to
w N Bell. The jumpers haye filed
clam in the Auditors office. fenced in
their respective tracts aud made other
improvements thereon. Mr. Whitworth
hHs been snveyipg Bells claim during
the last few days to ascertain the cause
of ell this commotion. He has sue
ceeded in finding the original corner
stakes, aud hence has been able to
make an accurate survey. II appears
that the trouble on the east end of
Belle claim was caused by mistakes in
the original claiming. but the corner
stakes ere eli right aud they universal
" prevail. The defect along the water
front was caused by an error in the
original field notes In describing the
bearing trees on the southern corner of
Bells donation cl~im. From the best
authority we can get on he subject we
are led TO believe ,tsi he jumpers will
be unable to maiutain u or loitinns.
although Bell really ha, more land
than his patent calls fof. 10 regard to
the water front, even if there was q
strip of lsnd between the original sur
vey and aiea water mark. tue Depa, i.
ment has invariably held that the strip
belongs to the original donation claim
ant. A case In poiat and exactly pss-
sllel. in which such ruling was mat"
was the Vail Donation Claim Gaze in
whatcom county. Taking this v;-~ vi
