have just come to light OF an extensive
claim jumping scheme in 8kagit county,.
which. however. has resulted only ii
humiliation and chagrin to the schemers-
Since the recent rich strikes in the In
auGurai mine at Hamilton people have
been casting about In every direction to
locate claims. or jump those improperly
located 1t occurred 10 some that during
the iron excitement OF a few years aso
Capt w. d. o'Toole, now register of the
Seattle land Office. had taken up a num-
Der OF what he supposed were iron ciaims
These claims are In the immediate viciu-
lily OF the Inaugural. some Of them being
ings Indicate very desirable and valuable
claims. No work. however. has been done
on them for several years.
The county records were searched to
see whether United States patents had
been obtained on any of them. and IL was
discovered that only one patent was on
record. The claim jumpers then got to-
gether and formulated a plan that was
TO secure for themselves some Of the i'm
est claims on the Skagit river. The coun-
~ surveyor was employed. and fnstruc-
tons were given him to meet two men al
Hamilton. who would inform him OF the
work he had 10 do. The surveyor ac-
ccrdingly went 10 Hamilton and WAS con-
Quoted to the O'Toole claims. six Of which
were duly surveyed and filed on.
The promoters then drafted letter to
Capt O'Toole in Seattle. telling him they
had surveyed his claims and had become
the rightful owners of them. but out OF
consideration for him. IL he would reiins
quish all right TO them. they would give
him a small interest. AT this Juncture,
however. the O'Toole patent was again
examined. and to their utter consterna-
ton and dismay IL was found that the pa
tent covers 1A3 acres, or seven whole
claims.
The claim-jumping scheme included
among its members numbers Of Mount
Vernon people. some of whom were per-
haps ignorant of what WAS on foot Now.
however. that full details have leaked our,
and as considerable expense has been In
CURED. indignation runs high among those
interested, and vengeance Is vowed
against the promoters. One beneficial re-
suit will perhaps ensue from the disclos-
.ures, In that il viii cause those who con-
template jumping other peoples property
to hesitate. and thus save serious trouble
in the future.

which made the little craft stiff and COM
pieted her sea-going qualities. From the
Columbia river bar to the Golden Gate
the run was made in fifty-one hours, un-
der ordinary steaming and some bad
weather.
