Washington, Oct. 5.-Admiral Dewey
made an early start Wednesday to fill a
number of engagements. The admiral
went to see Secretary Long. At his re-

The witness testified that he told his

the plaintiff in April, and that he had
been honorably discharged from the ge-
illogical survey"

The witness explained that the de-
velopments on the Rarus lode were not
extensive enough to show the true
state of affairs when he made his first
examination, but that at the time OF
the second examination they were.
The witness could not remember the
extent of the displacement that he
found the first time.
In answer to a question as to whether
he found other mistakes, the witness
said that the position of the apices of
the veins found underground were as
sumed at that time.
He described the three veins forming
the so-called Rarus lode. His descrip-
ton tailed with the maps of the plain

quested to locate the Windlass vein at
the east end line of the Rarus claim,
| and he stated that it's highest point
south of the south side line of the
Rarus is on the 210 level. He had not
followed 1t east beyond the 1874 raise.
You did not think it necessary to
follow 1t east beyond raise 134 and find
it apexing south of the south side line
of the sRarus?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
Il examined the part essential to this
litigation and carried it up within the
Rarus lines" answered Mr.. Tower.
The question was repeated and the
witness replied that he had not fol-
lowed the vein east beyond raise 1S4
because it was not of interest to the
case.
Mr.. Scallon asked him how he could
determine what was of interest to the
litigation in hand, and he ans wered
that he had thought it necessary to ex-
anime only the ground involved.
Asked if he would include the Wind
lass vein in the Rarus lode If it was
found to apex So feet south of the
Rarus line at the east, he said he should

rs not the Windlass vein developed
farther to the east than where you
stopped your examination?" asked Mr..
Scallon.
Yes"
But you did not examine it there?"
You merely have a skirt spread out
to the south and what comes under it
you take in?''
Yes said the witness.
did you not limit your examination
because you knew the Michael Dewitt
suit is to be tried?"
Il knew it was to be tried some day,
but l did not prepare for it."
The witness said he would regard the
veins running east as one lode if they
were properly related.
That would be true il the veins go
round the earth?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
Yes"
And back again?"
And back again."
And one diveFge to the north pole
and the other to the south?" asked Mr..
Scallon.
Il would not say as to that" said the
witness.
The witness said he had not gone
farther east in his examination than the
point he had stated, because his lawyer
had told him if was not of interest to
the case.
But you will examine it further east
in the next case?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
Yes; I may make more easterly ex
aminations later" answered the wit
ness.

1T will depend upon the develop
ments."
Yes, of course; sufficient for the case
is the opinion of the day." commented
Mr. Scallon.
Assayer Stephen Raymond was
placed upon the stand for few min
utes and testified to assays which ne
made.
Mr.. Tower was cross-examined at
length concerning the transverse fis-
sures and the ore bodies connected with
them, and then Mr.. Scallon took him to
the $50 level of the Snohomish. After
this the samples and chemical compu-
tations figuring in the witness direct
evidence came in for attention. The
witness said that the energite found in
the Rarus lode is not found in some
other of the mineral lodes of Butte. He
admitted that while his samples and
computations tend to prove that there
are chemicals in the lode, they do not
show the average proportions of the
chemicals in the respective veins.
The case was adjourned to 10 o'clock
this morning.

Cross-Examination of Expert G.
w. Tower.
ROOM FOR A CONFLICT
In Opinions Relative to the Fissures Con-
stitutine Any Particular Lode.
An Interesting Day in
the Trial.

Yesterday was one of the most inter
esting days in the trial of the great
Pennsylvania mining case. 1t was de-
veloped on the cross-examination of
Geologist Expert George W. Tower, by
William Scallon of counsel for the Bos-
ton & Montana.
Mr.. Scallon made cross-examination
decidedly vivid and full of zest, and
the answers ELECTED from the witness
will have considerable bearing upon
the decision of the suit, probably. The
evidence of Mr.. Tower seemed rather
contradictory regarding the fissures
that constitute a lode and while hold
ing a definite view as to what consti-
tutes the Rarus lode, so-called, as now
developed, he stated that there is al
ways room for a conflict of opinions as
TO the fissures constituting any partic-
ular lode.
Mr. Towers knowledge of the Rarus
lode ceased after the lode passed be-
yond the east line of the Rarus claim,
and his testimony concerning the lode
in that locality formed interesting mat
ter
At the opening of the court W. H.
Dewitt of counsel for defendants rose
and stated that he wished to bring to
the attention of the court the bill of
exceptions to the three preliminary
motions made in the case by the de-
PENDANTS and the amendments to 1t
served upon them by the plaintiffs. He
said that it was a matter that the
court could settle in a few minutes
Frank E. Corbett said that he preferred
that Judge Mediation should be present
when the bill Of exceptions should be
settled. The matter. therefore. went
over for settlement at some other time.
1t will come up again to-day probably.
The matter of proceeding with the
case to-day was discussed, and it was
decided to go on with it.
Mr. Tower went upon the witness
stand and corrected some errors in his
testimony Thursday relative to certain
assays. Mr.. Corbett stated to the court
that a list of assays that it was in
tended to introduce in evidence had
not been received, but would be put in
evidence later, when it should be re-
ceived. The direct examination of Mr..
Tower and his cross-examination was
taken up by Mr.. Scallon for the Boston
& Montana company.
How long have you been out of
school, Mr. Tower?" asked Mr.. Seal
Ion.

How much actual work have you
done in those four years?'

JOHN zAGAR IS GUILTY
He Was Fined 500 by Judge

Windows-An Appeal win
Be Taken

John Zagar, who kicked Mrs. Mary
Christian last Sunday so severely that
she had several ribs broken had his
trial in the police court yesterday, and
was found guilty and fined $100. The
case assumed some rather interesting
phases before it was finished. City At
torney Lamb prosecuted the case, and
Attorneys Lewis H. Smith and Burt
Marsh represented thesdefendant.
A Mrs. Irwin, neighbor of Zagar's
and of Mrs. Christian, told of seeing the
defendant strike and kick Mrs. Chris
tian. Mrs. Knuten gave the same tes-
timony Hr Hall, who was next called
was asked concerning the nature of
Mrs. Christians injuries. Attorney
Smith objected. holding that the de-
fendant was charged with disturbing
the peace, while the city was trying to
make out case of assault. The court
admitted the evidence, and DR.. Hall
stated that he had been called to at
tend Mrs. Christian and had found that
she had two, and" he thought, three
ribs, broken. There were also several
bad bruises on different portions of the
woman's body
Mrs. sullivan, another neighbor, said
she saw Zagar strike Mrs Christian,
but did not see him kick her. Martha
Andrew, little girl, was next called.
She told of seeing Zagar strike and kick
Mrs. Christian. She was cross-examined
by Burt Marsh, whose first question
was:
Martha. where is the slip of paper
Mrs Christian gave you, containing
what she wanted you to swear top
Mr.. Lamb was on his feet in an in
stant.
This is not only improper, but high
ly censura ble," said he. Indignantly.
Judge Sullivan censured Marsh Sc
verely and told him he must confine
himself to proper bounds.
Marsh replied that he had been in
formed Mrs. Christian had instructed
the child in what she was to testify to,
and he desired to show it. He asked
the girl If Mrs. Christian had told her
what to swear to, and she replied that
Mrs. Christian had told her to repeat
the bad language Zagar had USED.
Marsh would have had her do this, but
the court would not allow it,
Zagar took the stand for the defense,
and said his wife had come crying to
him last Sunday and said Mrs. Chris
tian was drunk and was throwing rocks
in the house and she was afraid the
children would be hurt. He went to
the house and found Mrs. Christian on
the porch She was using vile language
and had rock in her hand which she
threatened to use He ordered her away
twice, but she refused to go, and he
then pushed her off the porch. He de-

what rule do you determine the CO.
ordination of assures so as to justify
You in calling them a lode?"
IF assures have a like apex they are
of one lode. not matter how they de-
part in strike and Dip
Must the assures be approximately
parallel to form a co-ordinated series
and a lode?"
Yes. But they may branch off at
even an angle of 20 degrees"
The witness said spur may take up
the main ore bodies of lode, but that
it ceases to be part of the lode after it
has departed some distance from it.
What distance may the veins of
your lode diverge?" asked Mr.. Seal
lon.
"A very considerable distance"
How broad may a lode be on the
surface-the extreme BREADTH"
Between so and IS feet"
is % feet the maximum breadth of
lode?"
might have a much greater breadth" "
Then, what did you mean by so and
rs feet?"
Il was thinking of the Rarus lode"
rs that the extreme breadth of the
Rarus lode?''
Yes"
The witness said he would call sew
closely, irrespective of the country be-
tween. If the apexes were 100 feet
apart it would depend on the degree of
divergence between them.
Then, is 1t not matter of opinion
what constitutes lode and what does
not?' asked Mr.. Scallon.
There Is always room for a differ
ence of opinion as to what forms a
lode" said Mr.. Tower.
The witness said that all the fissures
on the east end line of the Rarus claim
are one lode.
How far east do you call them a
lode?"
Couldn't say" answered the wit
ness. That's a matter for arbitrary
determination. 1t depends upon what
other assures might be met with
The fissures are $50 feet apart on
the east end line and yet you said IS
feet was the maximum width of a
lode?"
That was guess on my part
How much farther would you let
the veins diverge in going eastward
and still call them one lode?"
About 100 feet; no farther"
Suppose there was ore in the sec
ondary form between them, what
would you say?"
I'D call them one lode.''
Mr.. Tower stated that if there were
he would say that they had lost their
identity. If the veins were 300 feet
apart he would say they were not of
one ore body, except under certain
conditions.
He said he would call cross assures
containing ore cross veins or cross
lodes because of their crossing the
veins. He called the assures that pass
through the east end line of the Rarus
claim one lode because they join to the
west in big ore bodies.
The witness said he was not certain
where the south boundary of the apex
of the Rarus lode is east of the Penn
sylvania east end line and that he
would have to make a further exami-
nation before he could fix it.
He had examined all the levels un-
derground in their entirety. but had
examined the surface casually. He had
not examined the surface more critic
ally beyond "a raise east because that
ground would be involved in other liti-
cation.
Did you not think that what you
might find there would have great
bearing on this case?" asked Mr.. Seal
Ion. -s...
No, SIR" said the witness.

Visitors to Crystal Springs are treat

new well is being sunk to obtain a
greater supply of water, and the pro-

method is the same as is employed in
sinking oil wells in the Pennsylvania
oil fields, the old walking beam engine
being in operation daily. To see the
machinery working is well worth a
