The case went to the circuit court and Brown was beaten, but the supreme court re versed the lower court's finding and Brown was on top. Then the mine owners conceived the idea of building sluice dams, which they did and began operation again. Shortly after this the mill burned, greatly to the surprise of the owners. Naturally the Gold Coin people turned first one way and then the other, scarcely knowing how to start or what to do. The ledge carry ing the values Is a decomposed gran ite formation and a final investiga tion 'proved that It could be washed down and placered instead of milling it.
