RUSH To RELOCATE CLAIMS

1908. These people found it cheaper
even if more haradous, to relocate their
claims than to do the assessment work.
OF course, work done on these claims
previously would not count on the work
of patent, even if the claims were re-
located by those who had done the
work before, but many people found
themselves with more claims than
money-and ONE companies were in
the same box-and were compelled to
take the risk of letting their work go
with the chance of relocating at mid
night on the turn of the year.
Some excellent ground was relocated,
according to reports, both in the Gold
field and Montezuma districts, and no
trouble occurred so far as heard from,
among rival claimants. Among other
ground relocated that should prove
worth the while of the re-iocators, was
the Great Bend Consolidated, five
claims, butting right up against the
Great Bend property. This ground was
incorporated by the Sullivan Trust com
pany. and the control, it is understood,
passed into the hands of the State
Bank and Trust company. Since that
institution failed, the ground has been
neglected, and claim seekers had
watched their chance to relocate the
ground, which they did at midnight
December 81. Other cases will doubt
less be heard from early in the year.

Thursday afternoon and evening, the
last day of the old year, the streets and
alleys of Goldfeld were lined with sad
die horses, and vehicles of every kind
and description, in readiness for their
owners who were mysteriously lodging
about here and there, gathering bed
ding, tools and provisions for a rush
into the hills; for this was the last day
for assessment work, and claims ON
which the work had not been done were
subject to relocation at midnight.
For weeks the hills about Goldfeld
had been anxiously secured by mining
sieuths ON the lookout for claims that
might be open to relocation. 1t was a
mysterious business, it is needless to
say, and mysteriously was everybody
about his business, for the fellow that
hailed a stranger with "what' s up"
usually got the icy stare for a reply.
Many laid out in the hills for several
nights watching to see that the claims
under surveillance were not worked or
spotted by other claim hunters.
At midnight there were probably 500
people in the hills scurrying here and
there driving stakes, building monu-
ments and posting notices, for be it
said that there were many claims al
lowed to lapse or were being relocated
by their former owners who had neg
lected to do the assessment work for
