Show Claim Jumping. Claim jumping is attempted robbery, whether in the canons and mining districts or in the valleys, and. it is just as we!l to call things by their right names. To the settler who improves the soil and to the prospector who locates and secures i mining claim, belong certain important import-ant rights which should be protected by the power of the law and in despite of any attempted legal trickery. The reported claim jumping in Cottonwood is only a repetition of what has been attempted at different times all over the settled portions of the wjst, and ihould be met by the promptest and most determined opposition from the proper authorities. . |
