William Henry Johnson was the
colored "gemmen' in the court. He
mad attended a party the night before
and with a large number of his race

Johnsing attended the fancy dress ball

EXPERTS ON THE STAND
In the Trial of the Pennsylvania
Mining Case.
OLD GROUND is COVERED
Tracing the Apices OF the Johnstown
and Rarus COMMISSIONING the Con-
Meeting Veins Between the
Various Ore Bodies.

When the trial of the Pennsylvania
mining case was resumed yesterday
morning Frank l.. Sizer was again on
the witness stand, but his examination
was soon concluded, and Walter S.
Kelly, manager of the Elkhorn Mining
company, and the plaintiffs third ex-
pert witness, followed. Mr.. Kelly's di-
rect examination was conducted by
Charles j. Hughes of Denver. The wit
ness, after qualifying himself to testify
as an expert, went practically over the
same ground covered by the two wit
resses who preceded him in tracing the
apices of the three veins within the
Johnstown and Rarus claims and the
ore connections through. the different
workings throughout the length and
depth of the Rarus. In doing so he used
larger number of maps than the other
witnesses had done, including plan
maps of each level and a number of
cross section maps. The witness said
that west of the functions of the Rarus,
YOUNGSTOWN and north connecting veins
the veins may be said to possess some
individuality, but after the junction
they became the Rarus lode. The north
connecting vein seems to extend from
the Mountain View system of veins to
the RaruS lode. The witness said the
actual working in the ground in contro-
versy showed prevailing southerly dip
of the veins and ore bodies. There are
local variations in the dip, the middle
of the vein being perhaps more fiat
than at the east and west, but the
change is gradual and not at all alb
rupt. In the middle of the claim the
vein has an average dip Of 40 to As and
80 degrees. Proceeding westerly the
same general dip prevails for some dis
lance until the extreme west end is
reached.
The cross examination Of Mr.. Kelly
was conducted by Mr.. Patterson, who
asked the witness further questions to
ascertain his qualifications Mr.. Kelly
said he graduated as a mining engineer
from the Polytechnic Institute of Phil
adelphia, and from there went to San
Francisco, later, in 1885, came to Butte
and entered the employ of the Parrot
company, and afterwards, for eight
years, was government assayer. and in
1896 became manager of the Elkhorn
Mining company and has been such
ever since.
How old are you?" asked Mr.. Pat
terson
Il am of legal age" was the reply.
Well, you know better than to an
swer that way
Il am "A years of age"
The witness said he first began the
examination of the property in contro-
Nersy, for the purpose of the suit, on
the 18th of last May and has spent his
entire time on the case since and about

BAD SUMNER MANNERS.
A Critic Says That They Greatly Need an
Improvement.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
one OF the painful lessons of summer
is IN the conviction it forces that civili-
eaton has by no means finished ner
work for us, says the Puritan. If any
thing can destroy our content with our
selves as members of the human race
and as individuals, or can show us our
selves in an extremely salutary and
unHattering light, it is a protracted hot
spell.
1t is not merely that our collars wilt
and our cuffs grow limp in a manner
1atal to vanity. 1t is not merely that
sunburn, freckles and prickly heat take
turns in destroying any little sustain
ing PRIDE we may once have had in our
looks. 1t is something much deeper.
Not one of us fails to recall, when
cool spell brings temperature fit for
reflection that we were "snappy," irit-
able and unreasonable with those whose
misfortune 1t was to belong to our
households during hot weather.
Not. one of us is able to remember
any occasion on which she did not make
rush for the only vacant seat on an
open cable car, or when she forbear
ingly refrained from pushing to the end
seat in favor of some new passenger.
On the contrary, once possessed of that
point of vantage, the old. the infirm
and the heavy laden had to climb by as
best they might.
Street manners are none too pretty
at any time. But when the heat is hav-
ing its own way with our constitutions
and our tempers they are shocking eX-
amples of rudeness and selfshness.
Would it be an impossible plan to
form winter classes for the cultivation
of good manners in dog days? Perhaps
by next July we might be so firmly
grounded in them that we would prac-
tice them from force of habit and in
spite of the temperature.

lustrate his contention with reference
to a piece of bread and butter.
DO you mean to say asked Mr..
Patterson. that if you have hash at
the McDermott hotel and hash at the
Butte that there is hash all the way
between"
Il heard that down in Arizona" put
in Attorney Corbett who travels down
in that country occasionally.
Il heard it Is years ago myself" said
Mr.. Patterson.
Instead of answering Mr. Patterson's
questions directly the witness argued
with the attorney and asked questions
himself.
Il am not answering questions Mr.
Kelly" finally said Mr.. Patterson, "and
Will you please answer mine?"
In answer to further questions the
witness gave his opinions relative to
the apices of the other veins and Mr..
Patterson asked him to state which
particular fissure found at the 450-foot
level formed the apex of the Rarus
lode. Mr. Kelly named several veins or
assures which he thought might form
a junction and apex in the lode.
You are doing the best you can in
guessing through $50 feet of ground?"
Yes, sir
The witness was asked certain ques-
tons about the ore connections al the
east end of the Rarus.
That is not at issue here" was the
answer of the witness.
Are you going to determine wha.
there is a issue in this case?' asked
Mr.. Patterson.
The witness detained any intention
of doing so and said he had made no de-
tailed examination of the workings at
the east end and was not prepared TO
answer the questions asked him.
Mr.. Kelly will be on the witness stand
again this morning.

engagement oflthe rope with some purt
