testimony before an arbitration com.
mittee Of lawyers, in the case Of the
Badger mining company against the
Stockton. The Badger claims a
half.interest in the Stockton, based
on a quit claim deed executed by one
Morton. The Stockton admits that
Morton once held the half interest
transferred to the Badger, but that
prior to the execution of the deed In
question he had forfeited bis in
terest by reason Of failure TO per-
form his share of the annual asses,-
ment work, which was duly adver.
tised, as prescribed by law. The
matter was referred to M arbitration
committee by mutual sigeement, but
a law suit threatens to follow. as
the Stockton company claims that
the Badger people are extracting ore
from the property in question.
