land and took up land in the state o.
Washington; that in 1907 this land, through
fraud prscticed or the part of the de-
PENDANTS, was clear listed and patented &c
the defendant company; that fraud wa
contained in sworn affidavits made by the
defendant companies agent. that the land
was non-nlineraI and was not claimed By
any other parties.

the Bunker Hill company had asquired
eighteen mineral claims in Snohomish
county and had done $4,000 worth of de-
velopment work thereon.
