Claims are claims in the mad rush and it Is now estimated that 150 claims hare been staked in that section. These are run without thought for prior loe tlons and. of course, many will be tils- J allowed, but many of the new staking ; cover ground that has been recorded for some time. A happy situation 1 ! rising for the surveyor to straighten out ' the OTerlapplng with a consequent dls- covery of numerous fractions left out in 1 the staking. 1 ' A rough map of the staklngs to date has been prepared locally, and the one thing disclosed Is that Topley has caused the greatest rush for claims of , any camp In the North.
