The Gold Cola Is one of those mining

distance below the mill and he claimed
that the muddy, water and tailings in

joined the - Gold Coin people and tied
them up. The case went to the circuit
court, and the rancher was beaten, but
the supreme court reversed the lower
eourt'a finding. '
Then the mine owners conceived 4he
Idea of building sluice dams, which they
did and began operatlona again. Shortly
