UNIQUE MINING SUIT

because, therefore some partiesI on the

the property for which it was sup

basis has been laid for as pretty a
law suit as the most litigious lawyer
could desire.
The property in question is the
Gold Crown, in the north end oi
town, and comprises one full claim
lying between the Montana and the
Midway ground.
The Gold Crown is owned by Ellii
