Anernaon session,

Wines Treaiwel continued on cross
examination, at the conclusion of which Geo
T. Allardt was recalled for further cross
examination.] His estimate included the
mines on slate creek. Big Canyon creek on
the Yuba, from the point where mining be-
gins, Norristowp, is about fifteen miles. Did
not examine It except to cross it. Some of
the Eureka tailings go into Canyon creek.
Witness in detail, in response to questions by
w. g. Belcher, described the creeks be saw
in his examination of the mining sections of
Yuba river. He measured no deposits in any
creeks. One hundred and ssventy-six million
cubi, yards has been taken out Of the Yuba
river mines, and fourteen per cent of it yet
remains at the dumps. Know Penn valley.
Didn't know how much material is in it.
Examined Deer creek from Nevada City up
to the mines. Know Big Rsvine don't
know the amount of its fill. The estimate
he made of displacement included the
Smartsville mines in part. Did not measure
the ravines, nor go below the zero mark
shown on the map, and by that he
did not mean to be understood as saying
that all the Sc per cent. has gone below, j. e.,
into the valley. From Smartsville to Msrys.
vile is twenty miles, the elevation being
about go feet. Have seen cases where
river bed in places will, as You go down, rise,
as where there is pond. Witness was ex-
amined as to his knowledge of certain creeks
on which are mines, concerning the taiiings,
of which he made estimates; and concerning
deposits therein at various points, and also
concerning the various deposits on the Yuba,
during which time witness made frequent
reference to his maps and drawings. On the
porth fork of the American, near Alta, he
found slope very steep, and yet on which
pine leaves lay and trees grew. Such slopes
are not uncommon. Had not said that there
was no wash from mountain roads,
but did say they were in good
condition, and that he saw hus little inulca-
tions Of wash, and he had looked into that
matter with considerable care Frost is
powerful agent in the disintegration Of soil
and rock. On the American and Yuba OBJ
served the country well. and saw but two or
three places where there had been land slides.
Looked for evidences of them. Witness was
examined at length concerning his profile
made from Uren's table of the North Fork of
the Arneiics IN river, from Pickerine's Bar to
Rice's Bridge This is the profile which
shows ascending grades in the bed OF the
river in its descent. Witness said, on being
questioned c,ncerningithe matter, that these
accents in the bedrock did not imply that
Mr.. Urens table was absurd. Such ascents
The witness was examined at length on math
ematical calculations to test his estimates and
the rules on which he had relied in working
out Uren's table into a profile, and coefh-
clients, square root, cube root, per cent, cal
culations of velocity Of water, averages,
grades, hydraulic formula, standard tables.
ETC., etc., played parts so technical and in
tricate as TO be incapable of reproduction
with satisfaction to the general reader. The
Court here permitted Wi ness to describe the
banks of the old excavation, prior to the
deep washings in the mine of the defendant,
by reference to the large photographs hereto
fore referred to. Witness thereupon took
certain of the photographs and said the first
