Brown Wins His suit.
T. J, Brown and B. W. Maddox
Siturd&y won their suit against
t'le Oregon King Mining Company,
t'.is jury in the Federal Court
awarding them a verdict after
after deliberating about an hour.
The verdict did not carry with it
any award of damages, but simply
found that the plaintiffs were en
title J to tjie mine by right of dis
covory and possession.
Brown first lo :atcd on the claim,
which is situ.itcd in Crook County
in 18J7. According to the testi-
mony, he did not perform sufficient
labor umn it to hoi 1 it, and in
June, 1898, a party headed by G.
M. Wilson located on tho claim
They did some work, according. to
their story, and sold to tha Oregon
King Mining Comianv, a corpora-
lion organized under the laws of
Wyoming. In January, 189!),
Brown returned to the mine and
again located. It was upon this
location that he claimed title in
court.
Brown alleged that "ubeequent
to his second locution he wus driv
en off the claim by employes of
the defendant, and he then took
the matter into court. One of his
main allegations was that the
staking of the mine by Wilson wae
defective, jn that no west end stake
was sot up. There was olso a dis
pute as to who sunk tho first 10
feet of shafting. Both parties al
leged they had done so, and each
introduced much testimony in
support of this contention.
The case wag on trial nearly all
last week. Dolph, Mallory, Simon,
& Gear in, Albert Abraham and
II. M. Riddel, appeared for the
plaintiff, and W. II. Wilson, of The
Dalles, and R. E. Moody and J. M.
Long, of Portland, for the defend
ant.
It is altogether likely that an ap
peal will lie taken from the verdict
in the lower court. The mine is
exceedingly valuable 5 j tons of the
ore having netted f 1000. cince the
commencement of the litigation,
the defendant corporation has been
working all the time on the mine,
and it now has a shaft several
hundred feet deep. Orcgonian.
