WHOLESALE JUMPING. Considerable sensation and not a little consternation was occasioned in Gore the other day when the fact became noised abroad that all the dredging claims on the Waikaka stream (save those now working) had been jumped during the night. These include the Waikaka Forks, Waikaka Queen, and those of several other well known companies.
It appears (says the Ensign ) that an enterprising local solicitor, discovering a supposed flaw in all the titles, determined on the plan of campaign noted above, and with this object in view three, drags were chartered, and with the necessary pegs and complement of ten “ peggeis out,” proceeded to the base of operations shortly before the witching hour of midnight. Two parties were formed, pro ceeding in opposite directions from a central point, pegging out the river for a total distance of ten miles, right through the centre of ail the claims already granted. Naturally shareholders in the various companies are considerably perturbed in their minds as to the upshot of the new train of events, and present appearances all point to several pretty pieces of litigation.
