Dill's orders were to get upon the ground which had been worked in a primitive way by a fellow named Bruce Burt now deceased he was told and relocate it in Sprudell's name together with seven other contiguous claims, using the name of dummy locators which would give Sprudell control of one hundred and sixty acres by doing the assessment work upon one.
'Will relocate the silver claim as soon as prospecting is possible. Alton cannot take action. He means he's got him in a vise." Miss Holder crossed the landing and tapped at the door of the adjoining room, while Nellie Townshead walked to the window and looked down on the city.
No doubt they had deliberately arranged the whole thing so that the new arrivals could immediately relocate each of Necia's claims the pick of all the ground outside Lee's discovery, and the surest to be valuable and that Stark would share in the robbery.
"What do you intend to do?" he asked, when the other had quite finished. "I don't know yet. If you'll say nothing down below and I'm sure you will not I'll contrive some way of keeping this procession down the hole, and of feeding them, and then I'll relocate the claims myself." "With one arm?"
They formed distinct male-and-female groups, the father watching over his family, the mother suckling her little ones, the stronger youngsters emancipated a few paces away. When these mammals wanted to relocate, they moved in little jumps made by contracting their bodies, clumsily helped by their imperfectly developed flippers, which, as with their manatee relatives, form actual forearms.
Under these conditions houses topple, roof tiles puncture doors, iron railings snap in two, and twenty-four-pounder cannons relocate. And yet in the midst of this turmoil, the Nautilus lived up to that saying of an expert engineer: "A well-constructed hull can defy any sea!"

"To my mind, all those fellows are tarred with the same brush, and they would like nothing better than to relocate the lost Landslide Mine first." "Perhaps you are right," returned Dave. "Well, I don't see how we are going to stop them from going ahead I mean Blugg and Haskers.
Her and me hadn't been essential to one another since I won that suit over a water right on Eldorado. "Hello, Annie," says I, clawing the ice out of my whiskers; "finding plenty of claims down here to relocate?" "Shut up, you perjured pup," says she, full of disappointing affabilities; "I don't want any dealings with a lying, thieving hypocrite like you, Billy Joyce."
It was plain enough that Bruce Burt "now deceased" was very much alive, and he, Dill, had crossed three summits on a wild goose chase, since it was obvious he could not relocate a man's ground while he was actually living upon it.
