VALUE OF THE FURNITURE.
Judge Powers then read the deposit
lions of F. NJ. Causley, a furniture
dealer of forty years experience, and
member of the Causley Furniture COM
pany of Chicago. The deponent con-
sidered the furniture supplied by An

the price charged for it. Some articles
were little high, while others were
cheap. and the average was a fair and
figure.
Henry NJ. Drew, a furniture man of
thirty years experience, made deposit
lions similar to those of Mr.. Causley,
which were also read.

o. Bauman and L. F. Crosby to the

which showed three ounces silver and
1925 gold to the ton. The samples from
which the assays were made were
brought from the mine by the witness.
who had experience in assay
ing, said he only had the samples as
sayed for gold and silver, but accord
ing to his Judgment the sample show
