Police Pickings.

Yesterdays proceedings in the suit for
trespass in Judge Zane's court were the
dullest since the session began. No
friendly ray Of sunshine stole into the
court through the blinds to relieve the
sombre room of its dreary aspect. No
semi-ferocious tilt between opposing
counsel occurred to break the force of the
monotony. The only visible trace of glad
ness was the bright red necktie of Re-
cordsr McGurrin. Elsewhere through
out the room doleful, hopeless dependency
was everywhere manifest.
Yesterday was day of rebuttals, day
of repetition. 1t was day filed with pill
ing up old evidence Verhiage was the
chief characteristic. The jury looked tired
and listless; the attorneys were glum and
Respondent.
The day opened with
COLONEL WALL on THE STAND
for the defense His testimony was
given as an expert, and was in
title to the claim of the May
flower folks to the vein which has It's
apex on the Tenderfoot His testimony
evidence
all the experts introduced by the Mayf1ower
mining company.
In the afternoon
o. A. PALMER
took the stand, and the inquisition led him
over the ridge south of the Mayf flower mine
TO that of the Fairview, and opened I'D with
him on the Fairview incline. All ore in
the talrview mine is in beds of lime, with
little in the assures and little below the
contact quartzite. The appearance of the
ore in the assure was that 1t was mixed
with quartzite. Palmer was placed on the
stand 10 show the possible connection be-
tween the workings of the Mayfiower and
the Ape, M. c., and Bird claims. The
REORGANIZATION allowed him to descend
from the stand without attempting his en-
tanglement.
The plaintiffs began their
EVIDENCE IN REBUTTAL
~ displacing the map of the Uintah min
ing district which had been offered in evil
dence by the defense with one of their own.
The new map was beauty. In the first
place 1t was bigger than its predecessor
and In the second place the claim of the
plaintiffs was represented in COB of yell
low that gave it prominence over every
thing else on the map. In the last place
the map was comprehensive in it's bearings
.. -
inclines and important points of the May
flower, Northland, Nevada, Jennie Lind
Central Hill, Lief Erickson, Tenderfoot
San Joaquin, Silver King, Fairview, Bird,
h. G. and Ape mines. The map was
made by MIR. GorlinsKy, who testified to it's
accuracy according to the official surveys
of the general land Office. The Walker
and Webster gulch, the Woodside gulch
and the points Of elevation were given.
with the datum plane from which points
of elevation were taken ,097 feet below the
Tenderfoot tunnel on an imaginary plane
JANIS Z. MATTHEW'S,
foreman of the Centennial Eureka, in the
Tintic district, and an old-time miner
with an experience ranging over
California, Nevada, Montana and Utah,
was called to the stand by the plaintiffs to
give testimony in rebuttal to the evidence
offered by the defense. Matthews had
spent three-fourths of his time in lead, or
lode, mining. He had gone down the
Northland shaft to make an examination of
the underground workings and examine
into the strike of the vein He had exam :
ined the cuts near the North Pole and gave
running history Of their surface indica-
tions.
Mr.. Brown registered an objection to the
trend OF the testimony of the witness on
the ground tat it was not in rebuttal to
the evidence introduced by the defense but
practically new testimony
After an incipient argument by plaintiffs
and defendants the Judge overruled the OBJ
lection and the witness proceeded.
The highest quality of ore in the North
land vein is found in mineralized lime. The
witness gave description of the upraise
incline aud the following of the ore strike
was entered into, but those questions have
oeen all covered before.
