would find nothing there.
The witness denied any such state
ment. Then he was asked if he hadn't
as soon as he heard Of Losses strike,

working down in that direction any
way.
c. D. Laranter was recalled for the

D. B. Gillies of Butte. was the last
witness of the day. MIR. Gillies is one
of the MammOth's experts His exam
nation in chief viii hardly be con-
Cluded before adjourning time at noon
/ tomorrow. His testimony was along
the same lines as the others but with
the aid of the many maps which he
had prepared himself, he went into the
case in much greater detail than any
of the other witnesses.
The Morning Session.
On the opening of court at 10 o'clock
this morning Samuel Mcintyre. the
manager and practically the owner Of
the Mammoth mine, was put on the
. stand. Under skilful questions by John
NJ. Zane he went over the formations
in the big property, referring cOntin-
ually to the maps and charts which
are in court in numbers sufficient to
fill a fOur-horSe wagon.
Mr.. Mcintyre said he first became
acquainted with the Mammoth in 1874.
He had been identified with its man
a5ement and development since 1875
or 1876. Continuing, he testified that
the ore bodies were continuous, or
- H.. I,
inal Mammoth claim down to the 700
or 500 levels, where the disputed ore
bodies We're encountered.
The witness caused some amusement
to the court and spectators and some
annoyance to Attorney Zane by al
ludiug to points on the maps as here
and there Mr.. Zane frequently re
minded him that in order to get his
evidence properly into the record he
should designate what he meant by
points of the compass. Still Mr.. Nc
Intyre would insist on telling things
in his own way, until Mr.. Zane him
self smiled broadly over his witness
intracta bility.f
MIR. Mcintyre was on the stand IN
der direct examination when the noon
recess was taken.
The attendance Of spectators this
morning was not so large as on pre-
Vious days. The questions and answers
correct comprehension of them is ex-
( tremely difficult Even the lawyers
ind it necessary to rest themselves at
intervals by going into the cOnsuIta-
ton room off the main court room to
smoke and chat.
An exodus will take place on tomor-
row afternoons train. Litigants, ex-
perts and lawyers will go to Salt Lake
to spend Sunday. They Will return
Monday morning prepared to resume
the almost inteTmiuabIe battle.
The hotelkeeperS and restaurants of
Nephi are reaping a harvest from the
any hotel and the places where meals
may he obtained are crowded during
the hours for eating.
1t IS possible that the court may
continue in session during Thanks
giving day Although it is a legal hol-
iday. if both sides agree the case can
go right ahead as it would en- any
other day. All hands are anxious to
finish up as soon as possible. for they
realize that under the most advan-
'tageOus circumstances it viii be many
days before Judge Higgins can pro-
nounce judgment.
The array of legal talent makes the
Nephi court room lock almost like Salt
Lake. Judge W. H. Dickson, Brown &
Henderson and A c. Ellis jr. appear
for the Grand Central On the other
side are John NJ zane. Zane & Rog-
ers and George Sutherland.
There was very little objection made
to John M. Zanes line Of questions
this morning. Occasionally Senator
Brown would interpOse a d" 'bject," but
it was quite rarely and he never
pressed his objections.
