Especial to The HeraId.)

Nephi, Utah, Nov 22.-The Grand
Central Mammoth suit, with all the
immense interests it involves from both
financial and legal standpoints, is but
little nearer completion today than it
was yesterday when court adjourned.
The testimony for the Mammoth peo-
pie, which is now under way, will
hardly be completed before Wednesday
of next week
The inning of the other side will re-
qUiTe at least ten days. so il will
be along toward the middle of Deem
Der before judgment is arrived at.
Today was spent in the continuation
of the cross of Victor NJ.
/ Clement by Judge W. II. Dickson and
in the testimony of four miners. Mr..
Clement again went over his testimony
of his first day on the stand. He swOTe
that an examination by him of the
Mammoth vein from the grass roots to
/ the 700 and 500 levels showed il to be
/ Of practically the same character all
/ the way. Judge DickSOn'S crOsS-eX-
animation was what is known as
] 'sarchin'." yet he gave but heeting in
4 dica tons of the line TO be taken by the
/ Grand Central people when the turn
/ of their witnesses comes. Mr.. Clement
( held his own with the attorney. ne de-
! clined to become confused over the
/ lengthy questions put to him or 10
( alter his evidence in chief. Friends of
/ the Mammoth consider Mr. Clement a
/ most excellent witness. When Judge
! Dickson had finished the cross exami-
| nation John NJ. Zane put few ques-
tons to him on redirect.
J Then Tom Hardy, a sturdy gentle
/ man who said that he had been EN-
pl0yed for years as a miner in the
Mammoth. took the stand. Hardy tes-
/ titled that in the term Of his employ
/ ment at the Mammoth he had worked
/ from the grass roots clear down to the
\ 200 and 500 levels. from which points the
] contest has grown. He found it to be
good stopping ground all the way. the
witness was quite sure he was right
on this point. The other side did not
cross examine him very hard
Senator Brown asked: Did you fnC
it a continuous veinZ'
L did" replied Hardy
The other miners were then pu
on. They were HyTum Flanders. D
Taranter and Lewis Rowe Their ties
timony was Identical with that of Mr.
Hardy's.
