offset. The only variation made by
me is on Parker ores, on the first half
of each lot of which, which usually re-
mains in the sampler one week, ! set
the beam at 1S5. This is done to
counteract or offset the evaporation
which takes place during the time it
lies there. The ores are weighed out
when sampled, so that the weights
with moisture deducted shall CORES
pond when they are received at smelt-
ing works. Differences between in
and out weights always occur. The
practice is different with different ores.
In cases where have charge
Defense object to any evidence not
bearing upon Dean ore being intro
duced, on the ground that the SAM
ping works was not on trial, and what
the practice may have been with vari-
Gus ores, was not the question here.
The question was argued at length,
the prosecution stating they had two
other charges to make, when they got
ready.
The defense insisted that 40 RAM
bling testimony should be introduced.
The evidence should be limited to the
charge against the defendant.
Objection overruled.
WITNESSES examination resumed:
Where the out weight is greater than
the in weight, the difference is attrib
uted to moisture. Suppose ore in
weighs 25,500 pounds, and weighs out
$3.50 pounds, then the excess is
credited to moisture. The practice IN
regard to out weights on other ores
in some instances, anyways: Mr..
Phillips instructed John Griffith, in
my presence, to deduct enough from
the out weight to make it come out a
reasonable amount short of the in
} weight. What was done with the sur.
, plus witness does not know. A plate
4 sample is the ore taken from the flool
8 after the sample has been quarteret
r over and over again until brough
S down to about a gold painful. Thu
t painful varies in weight from 80 to 81
e pounds in galena ores, much less il
: free or milling ores. That sample be
r. longs to the owner Of the ores. Mr.
k Phillipps's custom has been to TAX
that sample to the p|ate-room, wher
y it is put through another quarterinI
IT process, and the bottle samples ar
IT then taken from it. The remainder
