July 25, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 71 MEMORANDUM of DECISION signed by Magistrate Judge Craig M. Kellison on 7/24/2013. Defendants are claim jumpers. Echols wanted the Stringer claim and initially filed the Stimulus #1 claim on 1/9/2009. When confronted with threat of litigation by pla intiffs, he abandoned the claim on 8/26/2009. He then asked one of the plaintiffs to be added as a partner in exchange for sharing information he had acquired over time about the Stringer. Plaintiffs declined to make Echols a partner. With a new pa rtner, Echols filed the Stimulus Lode claim over plaintiffs' Stringer on November 2009. Plaintiffs were never notified of defendants' activities on the Stringer that led to the lode filing. Plaintiffs filed present action on 7/8/2011. Defen dants then filed a new placer claim over the Stringer (Stimulus #2) on 4/4/2012.Plaintiffs' Stringer was properly located, and all annual filings and fees have been made.

Bailey were, and currently are the owners of that certain mining claim known as the Stringer Mine. Plaintiffs are awarded nominal damages in the sum of $1.00.
