PLAINTIFF IN
 MINING CASE
 ~. 4 - r-N -NtLt \


 Called to the witness stand yester- day afternoon by the defense in the .4sc of O'Connor vs. Cascaden, Pat D'Connor told of all of tho incidents leading up to the suit he has brought against Dave Cascadcn, the com pIatut in which charges the defendant with removing the name of the plaintiff from the stakes of the Gold Dollar association claim on Iii gengood creek. He had been sum moned by the defense in the case as the defense's answer as to the court order to appear in court to show why the royalties from the Gold Dollar association should not be paid into the registry of the court pending the settlement of the case.
 OConncr was on the stand the greater part of the afternoon an swering the questions of Morton E. Stevens, the attorney for the defend ant, and Leroy Tozier, his own at Jorney. He told ol having originally
 taked the ground in 1914, and of having surveyed it in 1915. It was while surveying it, he said, that he discovered that his name had been removed from the stakes on the ground. Later, according to tie tcs ,imony, Cascaden confessed to O'COn- nor that he had removed the name of the plaintiff from the stakes on the claim, but had said that he would see that the matter was straight ened out.
 The taking of the testimony end ed with the attorney for the de .ense offering, in lieu of an injunc- ion commanding the defendant to turn the royalties from the claim into the registry of the court pend
 ng the settlement of the suit, d bond of $10,O00. This bond was ac- -epted by the attorney for the plain tiff, and the court Was therefore re teyed of having to make decision n the matter of the Injunction.
 One of the attorneys for the plain tiff stated last night that he con sldered that the first point in what promises to be a big mining suit has been decided in favor of the plaintiff. He said that the bond will be approved by the attorneys and by the court on Monday. The injunction, or it's substitute, the bond, however, dates from 5:30 last night, when the amount of the bond was decided upon, according to his statement
 Among mining men it is stated that the Gold Dollar, when it Is worked out, will be found to have produced in the neighborhood of $100,000 It is thought that the greater part of the claim will be worked out by the coming fall.
