SECOND DAYS SESSION
Chief Engineer Christian on the
Witness Stand.
THE MAPS AND TRACINGS
Testimony in the Case of the Anaconda
Company VS.. the Colusa-Parrot
Company-Mainlyo of Tech
nicai Character.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Parrot case
was resumed in the United States court
room yesterday morning and at noon
adjourned until 8 o'clock, when another
adjournment was taken till this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
August Christian, chief engineer of
the Anaconda company. was the first
Witness. He described the workings of
the mine between the 1000 and 1300-foot
levels of the Never Sweat. He had pre-
pared tracings of those workings. and
with the aid of charts and maps he
showed where the work was done in the
mine in November, 1898. He showed by
them the end lines of the Colusa-Par-
rot and the character of the work done
by the miners who testified the day be-
fore, agreeing that they were cleaning
up the drifts and blocking up the tim
bers on the sill floors. He also desig-
mated on the drawings what work was
done on the levels in April, 1898. In the
cross examination Mr.. Hughes asked
witness if he did not know that the
particular workings were in ground in
which the Anaconda company claimed
no interest in a vein. Mr.. Lee, for the
plaintiff. objected on the ground that
testify as to the geological condition
OF the ground in controversy. Mr..
Hughes insisted upon putting questions
to the witness which the latter as
strongly insisted that he was not in a
position ITO answer intelligently. The
questions were all objected to on the
ground that witness was called for the
sole purpose of fixing the points at
which work was done in April and No
VembeT. 1S9S and the
of defining the geological conditions,
etc.
On redirect-examination witness said
that he gave directions as to the work
merely in so far as that work concerned
his special duties as engineer and that
the superintendent of the mine gave the
general orders and directions.
At that point this plaintiff rquested an
adjournment in order to compare maps
and the hearing was adjourned to 8
o'clock. At that hour another motion
to adjourn was made. which was taken
till o'clock this morning
Another suit was filed in the United
States court yesterday by the Parrot
Silver and Copper company VS.. the Co.
lusa-Parrot Mining and Smelling COM
pany. The plaintiff sets up in it's allie
cations as cause of action that it is
the owner and entitled to the imme-
diate possession of the Bellona quartz

ton of section 18, township 8, north Of
