What q Cubic Fest Of Ore Weighs

In the suit involving the famous
Richmond mine at Eureka, New. now on
trial there, the following evidence vas
given relative to the weight OF . cubic
foot Of ore, reported by the Leader.
.sThe ball was started to roll this morn
ing by the defence calling on the stand
L. ". Davis, foreman of the Richmond
works. In his evidence last week E. n.
Robinson testified that q cubic foot OF
ore weighed 1873 pounds, and the evil
dence of Mr.. Davis was to prove that
the 'sKurn2T was slightly mistaken in
the matter. On the stand were placed
two boxes of ore, and the following is
Mr.. Davis testimony in regard to them
Yesterday morning Mr.. Davis accom-
panied by Messrs- Longiey Humphreys
and Mcmillan visited the 800 level Of
the Richmond mine, taking with them
an iron box measuring one foot each
way. This box was driven into solid
breast OF carbonate ore its entire length,
and 8 cubic foot of the mineral was tax
en- out. The ore vas then brought in q
careful manner to the Richmond, work
ed and weighed. when it Was found that
the weight was l35 pounds instead Of
Ies. as stated by Mr. Robinson. THIS
mode OF arriving at the real weight Of .
cubic foot of ore is a novel and fair one,
and when the matter was fully investi-
gated and the sworn evidence Of several
witnesses in regard to the m2ttsr pre-
sented, ex-senator Stewart Was heard
to say:
/ Well. that beats all. Those fellows
/ are too smart for u.s."
! The second box contained . large
block of solid ore, which was also taken
from the Richmond mine. This was
measured by Supt. R. Richard and
found to be considerably more than Gu
bic foot, while its weight was considsrs-
bly, less than the cubic foot OF very nne
ore"
