for on hour.
Mr.. Vale made the closing argument
for the defendant. The evidence for
the defendant, he said. had been pre-
sented some time ago and was proba-
bly, not as fresh in the minds of n
Jury as the evidence more recently
presented by the plaintiff. Had he time
therefore he would like to brighten the
memories of the jury by reading GER
tain passages of the testimony. but
time would not permit. He would not
attempt ~eloquence TO tingle the ears OF
the jury. as the speaker who opened for
the plaintiffs had apparently tried to
do. He would merely discuss the facts
in the ease without e~loquence. weighing
the testimony as a whole. IL had been
well established that there is a great

started. At that time they relied their
case on the existence of the fault. Un-
der the fault theory IL IL contended
that from some faraway great ore
body a wedge-shaped ore body was

between these two faults and mad to

side. n ore body lying up against the
other. and hanging wall to hanging
wall. footwall to footwall. Was there
ever any such a freak OF nature as
that? Even the freaks continue un-
broken through the fault. The only
difference Is that the dip Is a little fiat
ter.
Mr.. Vale resumed his argument at
the afternoon session. He said he had
shown the unity Of the lode at the 450-
level, and had called attention to GER
tain characteristics of the fault. He
thought that instead of helping the
plaintiffs in the case the fault actually
helped the defendants as indicating the
apex in the case. The continuity Of the
ore through the fault had been shown.
One miner who testified said he worked
there years ago and had not noticed
the fault. He went right along on the
ore. The noticeable thing about the
Is the dip changes. Ii Is iatter.
As to the footwall of the zone there is
no dispute. The plaintiff has concen-
trated his whole fight on the question
of apex, and Mr.. Vale proceeded to
analyze their claim TO apex. Just at

shall miners have a chance here yet?
Mr.. Lindsay spoke for one hour and
twenty minutes.
Judge Knowles then read his i%nstruc-
tons to the jury, which naturally
caused a sensation among all present
and CONSERVATION in the ranks of the
defendant. The instructions were as
follows:
Gentlemen of the jury-You have
been kept here a number of weeks,
somewhat after the Of the re-
concentrates in Cuba, and although
o have been treated as well as the
officers of the court could under the
conditions presented, you are undoubt-
eddy very impatient to finish your
abors and return to your families and
business, for which o are not to be
blamed.
We have heard the evidence of the
witnesses for the plaintiff and defend
ant, and have listened to the able argu-
ments of counsel. and the case is ready
to be submitted to you under the in
structions of the court. AS was my
duty, | have considered the questions
presented in this case. with consider
able concern, and / must say that i
have been much perplexed as to the
proper course for me to pursue. / have
tried to frame a charge to you which
would present the case in such a man.
ner as ] thought would be satisfactory
and leave the facts to you to decide. to
which the law would be applicable and
the facts in dispute, blu l failed.
This case Is a peculiar one. i do not
know of a case reported in the books
exactly like IL. The ore does not lie in
irregular deposits. In a large mass of
vein matter, such as in the Eureka

case; the ore lies i'm broken streaks or
veins. i do not think there is a clearly
defined hanging wall under what is
called the lode or one of the defend
ant. The apex of this one is divided
in a most extensive way-part in the
ground of the defendant and part in the
ground of the plaintiff. The apex map
does not represent what was claimed by
the evidence of defendant as the apex
of this lode. i do not see, from the evil
dence, why the apex of the lode should
have been placed where 1t has been:
but there is one point in this case that
has determined my course. That has
been called the Windlass or Free Mill
ing vein. IL you hould find a that
vein did not exist. and did not have its
apex in the Michael Dewitt ground. I
feel that / ought to set aside
your verdict. Judge Mediation IA
called this vein a rack in the hanging
wall, but according TO the models of the
defendant this vein Is north of the
hanging wall of the defendant. Ger
