case, with j. j. Hagerman, Harvey
Young and Richard J. Bolles as plant
ifs, and George M. Daniel, Thomas
Broken, Angus Snedaker and others
as defendants, was taken up for trial
yesterday morning by Judge Rising II
the district court. The title of the case
in mining circles is otherwise known as
the Little Giant against the Bonnybel,
both of which mining claims are
situated on Aspen Mountain, in
Pitkin County. The Little Giants
claim is said to run into the Bonnybel
mine, and as it claims priority over the
Bonnybel in entry, the latter made ap-
plication for patent. The Little Giant
opposed this, and filed an adverse suit
for portion Of ground taken up by the
Bonnybel, but which, it is alleged, be-
longed 10 the Little Giant. Later the
difficulty was settled by a compromise.
Under the agreement, 1t is 81
legged, the Bonnybel was to get the
patent if the Little Giant would dismiss
all suits against the Bonnybel, and the
Little Giant was to be decided the
ground in controversy. The Bonnyeel,
it is averred, failed to live up to the
contract, and now the Little Giant is
suing on that to compel the Bonnvbel
to comply with its performance of the
contract by deciding to the Little Giant
the strip of ground. The latter claims
that the Bonnybel has taken out a
quantity of valuable ores to the valve
of $3.50, 600, and also want damages in
that amount
