In 1861 Mitford claimed to be the original discover of the area described as Claim 1039. That area was known to hold rich copper deposits, and pre-existing claims to the area were soon asserted by other parties in court. The confusion was compounded by alleged surveying inconsistencies at the Survey Office. The claim was ultimately awarded to Sir Walter Watson Hughes of Bald Hill who went on to form the Moonta Mining Company. Mitford petitioned the award until 1869.
