ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, MAY 25. 1900.

CLAIM-JUWN UMPING THEGUBANFRAUDS

Case Against Smith Curtis Submitted | Revelations in Regard to the Customs

to Supreme Court,

DEFIANCE NO. | ATTACKED

Owners of Townsite and Latest Out Ask
That Smith Ourtis’s Olaim Be Deolared
Invalid—Tho Defunct Parrot Claim Involved
In the Controversy— Decision Reserved.

Mr. Justice Drake,of the supreme
court,.this morning completed the
hearing of Rammelmeier et al vs.
Smith Curtis et al, a mineral con-
test involving a charge of claim-
jumping against the defendants.
The evidence was heard yesterday
and this morning the case was ar-
gued by A. H. MacNeill and W. S.
Deacon for the plaintiffs and J. L.
G. Abbott and J. A. Macdonald for
the defendants. The court reserved
his decision.

The plaintiffs are the owners of
the Townsite and Latest Out min-
eral claims and the defendants of
the Defiance No. 1 mineral claim in |
this camp. The plaintiffs claim
that theirs are the prior locations,
having been mate in 1895, while
the Defiance No. 1 was not located
till December, 1899. The validity
of the latter was supported by the]
allegation that the ground in dis-
pute was located as the Parrot
mineral claim in February 1895,
while the conflicting Townsite was
not located till March of that year,

and the Latest Out was staked still
later. The Parrot location expired
on February 16, 1899, and the de-
fendants claim that the Defiance
No. 1' was staked to cover this
ground, which thus became vacant
and open to location, the overlap-
ping claims having been located on
occupied ground and therefore being
invalid.

In reply to this defense, the plain-
tiffs produced evidence to show that
the Parrot never had been a valid
claim, not being properly staked or
surveyed and having conflicting de-
scriptions of its lines, which over-
lapped on the Derby ground.

The Parrot location being invalid,
they claim that the Townsite and
Latest Out took its place as valid
logations and that the Defiance No.
1 was a case of claim-jumping.

Change of ‘Frain ‘Time to Accommo-
date Boundary and Republic

A change of time of trains on the
C. & W. branch of the C. P. R. is
to become effective on June 3. The
time of passenger trains has not
been definitely decided, but the
westbound train will probably leave
here at 7 instead of 8a. m, and the
eastbound will arrive about 6:45 in-
stead of 10:40 p. m.
It is understood that an arrange-
ment is under consideration be-
tween the C. P. R. and the Red
Mountain officials, .by which the
south-bound train on the latter road
would leave here about 11 p. m. and
carry a sleeper and that the change
jn time on the C. P. R, is being

made in order to facilitate connec-| |

tions. This would enable passen-
gersfrom Republic and the Bound.
ary country to shorten the journey
to one day and avoid a right’s stop-
over in this city. _
