sides profess to be well satisfied with
the progress of the case thus far.

An Entertaining Tilt.
At the beginning of the afternoon
session Samuel Mcintyre was turned

mined for spar. The witness hadn't
heard of such a case.
Another time Mcintyre used the ex-

over the composition of the vein The
examiner wanted him to be more spe-

the term by way of rhetoric The wit

Pushed by Senator Brown. Mcintyre
declared that some of the ore slopes in
the Mammoth were big enough to
drive a load of hay through if they
hadn't caved or weren't too steep. Once
Senator Brown rather sharply asked

testified that he was a director of the

shares of stock in it. He had been ia
