LARK|N'S MINING DEALS
Dispositions of the Officers of the
Butte & Boston.
A MASS OF TESTIMONY
Efforts to Show That Larkin Was Not
in Hts Right Mind When He Sold
the Snohomish and Tram
way to the B. 81 B.

Some interesting testimony was in
troduced yesterday al the Larkin in
sanity investigation. It included the
A. Coram, Charles II. Palmer, Albert
S. Bigelow, Clarence H. Bissell Ed
ward c. Perkins, Gordon Abbott.
Stephen NJ Crosby and William A.
CASTOR, besides the testimony Of sew
era1 Butte men. The dispositions of
the officers of the old Butte & Boston
company We're taken by the parties
who are trying to establish as fact
that James Larkin was insane at the
time he sold the Snohomish and Tram
way mine to the Butte & Boston com
pany. the object of the testimony be-
ing chiefly TO establish that the old
Butte & Boston company and the re-
organized Butte & Boston of New York
are the same corporation and identical.
Coram and Palmer, the latter super
intendent and general manager of the
old company, conducted the negotia-
tons with Larkin for the purchase of
the property. The dispositions were
taken in Boston and they make up a
large volume of testimony.
Captain Palmer testified that he was
with The company from its inception
and organization in 1887. and has been
a director of the company ever since,
but he is not CONNECTED with the new
company. He said he knew Larkin
very slightly and had only two or three
interviews with him prior to the pur-
chase of the properties. 1t was his
object TO consolidate the ground about
the Butte & Boston properties as much
as he could. II endeavOred." he said
ito get all our ground into solid
block to avoid possible litigation due
to the fact that the country was all
split up into veins and assures, and
anybody might claim an apex and
could evolve any sort of a theory he
had a mind to and prove it, That
would affect our rights in legitimate
mining, and that was one reason why
we took the Snohomish and TramWay
claims. 1t was important to the COM
pany to secure. if possible, the two
claims independent of their mineral
products. For some little time ] would
not pay the price asked for the prop
erty, because the surface rights were
not great enough to warrant paying
the price asked. Robert c. Burton

ton and put price on it. | think his

between $4,000 and $4,000 for the Sno-

acting as attorney for Burton and Lar
kin. The original bond was from Lar
kin to Burton. and Burton transferred

bank"
On .cross-examina Mr.. Palmer
said the total amount paid Larkin on
behalf of the Butte & Boston company
was S25.S50. He arrived at the exact
figures by refreshing his memory from
papers submitted to him. Mr.. Palmer
contradicted the testimony of one
James Cassidy. who claimed to have
been present during some of the ne
gotiations he had with Larkin and Who
said he had assisted in the nesotia-
tons. Mr.. Palmer said Cassidy had
nothing to do with the matter in any
way and was never in the remotest
way connected with any of the nego-
tiations or conversations between the
witness and Larkin, and was never
present. He was an ordinary employe
as pumpman at the Nora, TramWay
and Snohomsh mines
Was there any understanding be-
tween you and Cassidy that he was to
get commission from you or from the
company for getting a contract for the
Snohomish and Tramway properties
from Lalkin?"
NO, sir
WAS there any agreement or did
you in substance say to Cassidy that
if he would get Larkin to convey this
property for 1,500 that he was to get a
commission of s250?"
mo, sir"
Did you pay him any commissioner
mo, sir
Did you pay him any commission in
connection with what is called the cap
ital tight?"
Il paid no commission. l might have
given him money as part of the capital
fight fund. There were hundreds that
We're paid in that fight, and he was
one of the fellows who wanted to get
all the rakeoff he could"
Did you say to him in connection
with any money you ever gave him at
any time that it was on account of
commission in the SnOhOmiSh and
Tramway transactions. or that il was
to be charged up as commission on the
Larkin deal, or anything to that eff
fect?'
mo, sir"
was there any UNDERSTANDING,
agreement or suggestion between you
and Cassidy that you and he We're to
beat Larkin?"
mo. sir"
COR to fleece him?'
Not at all
'Or was there any such idea or pur-
pose in your mind?'
Never"
In answer to a question relative to
the development work that had been
done on the Tramway and Snohomish
prior to the purchase. Mr.. Palmer said
there was a shaft of 100 feet on the
Snohomish and one of about 200 on the
Tramway, and some drifting from
both, and there was vein of four or
five feet in the Tramway, but it was Of
low grade ore and could not be profit
ably used.
What, in your judgment. was a fair
value of the interest of James Larkir
in the Tramway and Snohomish claims
it being a one-half interest in the
Snohomish and two-thirds in the
Tramway, in May, 1892"
well, as matter of fact, as far as
the development was concerned | thinE
the full value of those properties, o.
the entire two claims, was not worth
over $4,000 at that time"
Was there anything at that time Il
