 Linden a Busy Little Bee.
 A mining case in which "too many cooks spoil the broth" is that of William Linden against Edward Melter, in which is involved the Cowboy mines of the Santa Maria section. The testimony of Linden was attended with interesting per sonal narratives as we'll as color ings of sensational hue as he pict- ured the relationship of the firm in their bonanza operations that have come to standstill until the judi cial concentrator gets the shines out of the path of a free flow into the retort room. This witness detailed how his avoirdupois had been bat tered down sixty-eight pounds in weight in ten months, during which time he had worked sixteen hours a day without regard to the eight hour law. He stated that he did all the blacksmithing, carpentering, pick ing, shoveling, drilling and blasting. He had had at different times as many as seventeen to feed, not in- cluding three or four "spongers" from Chicago. He had agreed to put the Cowboy on a paying basis for $3,500, and would have done SO had the money been advanced. He still maintains his ability to do so under that financial stipulation being closed up. Linden stated that Hen " Barkschat had shipped thirty seven and one-half tons of ore that gave returns of $680.
 The case is breezy one in the dissensions that have intervened to throw the Cowboy into a bucking mood and into a condition of being an industrial maverick. The case of the defendant occupied the clos ing hours of the court yesterday, and the trial will be resumed this morn ing.
