ions were representing a claim called
the Free Coinage claim. which they
had located on a part OF the ground
which is included i'm plaintiffs Rein
deer boundaries. they noticed that this
little cut was being enlarged by some
one, and for several mornings noticed
that the work had been done in IL and
was finally enlarged to a cut about 30
feet long and four feet deep by four
feet wide. He believed that this work
must have been done at night. on
denomination he stated that this
cut, which he knew had been dug so
clandestinely. was not in the line of his
course from his cabin to his work but
several hundred feet Off that line: and
that 1t was not on his course from his
place of work to Des Rivieres' claim
in going over there. Mr.. Jones is a
brother-in-law of Attorney SHROPSHIRE.
The defendants next wit 2. John
Mcintyre, was a man of uarvelous
memory, who had no difficulty what
ever in recalling the minutest details
or his actions on a particular day after
a lapse of two or three years. He
stated that he, the two Jones brothers,
George Zinc and Bert Harvey formed
a prospecting party occupying a cabin
in Chicken gulch during the latter part
OF September and the greater part OF
November of 1895, during which time
ne testified that he saw all the mystic
rious phenomena regarding the magic
growth of the cut claimed by the
plaintiff as the representation work on
the Reindeer for 1894. which had been
related by Mr. Jones, the preceding
witness. Witness stated that he had
taken some interest in the preparation
or defendants case and had gone after
some witnesses for him, but denied
that he had any interest in the result
or the suit any more than to have To-
Gated claim upon the ground He
said the defendants had not paid him
anything at all for his efforts I'm help
ing TO prepare the case.
j. IL. Reynolds, the next witness said
he owned ranch in Chicken gulch. or
rather on Moose creek, and that I'm Oc-
tober. 1896. Burton had hired a horse
from him and ridden over towards the
Copper Hill range, but not in the direc-
tion of DesRivieres' mine, and had told
him II any one asked him about his hir-
ing the horse he. witness, should say
that he knew nothing about it, The
defendants then read the deposition OF
John Donovan. 1t consisted of about
IS typewriter pages, in which Dono-
van claimed that he had located the
Reindeer claim for Burton I'm Nav. 1893
and had done all the work of location.
He claimed the claim was located about
1000 feet in a northeasterly direction
from where plaintiff claims IL now is.
and that there was only stake at the
discovery hole, one at each of the ends.
at the center Of the end line. He said
he had lived with Burton i'm the spring
OF 1893 in a tent in the gulch, and part
of the time stopped at the Reynolds
ranch. He said he had been paid $500
by Doc LarlIin to go down there and
locate some good claims for him I'm that
vicinity, but that he and Burton had
entered into one-sided partnership by
which he was to get half of all Burton's
locations. Burton 10 pay all expenses.
but Burton was not to get any share OF
his locations; that he and Burton had
located Larlin ION the outsider" that
he had sent several location notices to
Larkin, but had not sworn to them and
was not sure that he had signed them.
but supposed that Larkin had recorded
them. He admitted, on cross-examina-
ton, that he was paid 5000 by the de-
PENDANTS, DesRivieres and Hamlyn, for
his testimony in the case, and promised
steady job by DesRivieres If he want
ed IL. but that he had no other interests
in the case.
George Zinc testified that he had
prospected all over the Copper Hill
range, and had worked near the Old
Glory lode claims i'm the fall of 1896
During the first part of September he
had seen a small cut about six feet long
on the ground. There was no other cut
there. About the 18th OF 18th of No
vember he crossed the claim and saw
that the cut had been enlarged TO about
10 feet A day later he passed the cut
again and found that IL had again been
once more and again on the Path and
25th. and each time the cut had grown.
He never saw any one at work there,
but knew the work had been done be-
tween Nov. 10 and Nov. %. Zinc said he
saw Mr.. Burton in the vicinity i'm Oc-
tober. He said the fact that the cut
grew every night did not arouse his GU
riosity. because a man could work as
well as in the daylight II IL was neces-
sary. The cut was on a location made
by the witness, but IL did not arouse
his curiosity.
