A Big Mining Suit.

Last December the Buxton Mining
Company, through Martin & Mason,
their attorneys, commenced suit against
the Goldsn-R~~asd-Alias~ -Ceuap~ny
for 100000, damages alleged to be due
for ore which plaintiffs claimed was
taken from their property by the de.
PENDANT. Yesterday afternoon the Col.
den Reward people commenced a suit
in equity against the Buxton company
in the United States court, asking that
the Buxton company be made trustee
for the Golden Reward company for a
portion Of the bonanza lode, which the
latter company claims is their property.
They claim that when the Bonanza lode
was located it extended into the Silver
Case lode owned by the Golden Reward
a short distance, taking in fifteen hun
dredths of an acre of the latter lode.
Since the commencement OF the first
suit the Golden Reward people have
been examining the field notes, ETC., and
have just made the discovery. Nc.
