Continuance is Asked.

This new answer was supported by
affidavits of superintendent Chambers,
Engineer y. a. Palmer, Professor
Keyes. w. A Wilson, Charles Reid and
Neil ellis to the effect that in order to
fully prove that such would be the case
several months work would be re-
quired.
on that and the further showing that
Edward Grose, an important witness
for the defense, had left the country
and would not return for sixty days at
least, a continuance of the case for
three months was asked.
Judge Sutherland argued for the con-
tinuance while Messrs. Dickson and
Brown fought the proposition on the
ground that the affidavits clearly show
ed that defendant had not exercised due
diligence in preparing to show what
had been known for a long time would
be necessary to prove on its side.
The Judge viewed the matter in the
same light and refused the continuance.
As soon as court convened in the af-
ternoOn and the empaneling of the jury
had been completed, Judge Dickson
opened the case for plaintiff. describing
the properties involved and stating that
the questions to be dealt with were
novel and complex.
Question of Apex.
The main question was one of apex
to a vein and the rights of the owner
TO follow it below and out of the side
lines Of the claim in which it might be
found. If the apex of the vein forming
the basis of this action was found to
run clear through the defendants On
tario claim, he conceded their right to
follow it beyond and through the side
lines thereof
In this case they believed the. vein
run clear through the defendants On
tario claim and continued within it's
surface boundaries for a distance of
some 200 feet but there, the plaintiff
contended, the vein diveTged from its
course and passed through the south
side lines about 800 feet from the west
end of the claim, where it entered the
Banner claim.
If that proved true as shown by the
, evidence, defendant had no claim to
extra lateral rights on that portion Of
the vein. and defendant would intro
duce evidence to show its right to all
ores. in the MunadOr claim west of the
plane making the point at which the
vein leaves the Ontario claim on the
south side line.
Policy Of Plaintiff
The outline of the policy of plaintiff
company, as given by Judge Dickson,
carried the impression that his side
! had receded from its original intention
; of claiming damages for extraction Of
ore frcm the Crown Point entirely. and
that al they would now contend for
would be for the ores extracted from
/ the 1900 to 1500-foot levels run from
the Ontario shaft in that portion of
{ the Munador lying west of q line
drawn from the point Of divergence Of
/ the vein in the Ontario claim and run
ming parallel with the west end line
of the Ontario claim. the evidence and
: reference to the map exhibited in the
court room being in keeping with that
idea.

HOTEL GOSSIP.

Among the guests that are registered at
the Cullen is the Rev. James Turner Of
spent over twenty-five years of his life in
missionary work among the mining camps
OF the great northwest.
The Methodist minister is recently re-
turned from a twenty-mOnths' sOjOuTn in
Dawson City. where he established a
church and held eTrVices with good re-
suits. as may be understood from the
statement that the edifice was originally
built to hold a congregation numbering in
the neighbOThoOd of 100. and that on num-
erouS occasions people were turned away
from the doors on account of their being
unable gain admittance.
Mr.. Turner says that the output from
the klOndike region this season will reach
the neighborhOOd of $30,000,000 In speak
ing in regard to the Cape Nome region
which he visited before returning to the
Canadian dominion he said:
Il never saw place so easy to Work
as the beach at Nome, where men are
making from $40 to 5000 a day at panning
out the sand. 1t is a remarkably good
camp, but | am afraid that If they have
the American mining law in vogue there
this summer. if | may be allowed to
make such a statement here in America, a
great number of those who are crOwding
to the district will have to spend their
time in walking many miles in their en-
deaVOr to locate claims. Under the law
as 1t is now, with its attendant power of
attorney, one man can hold almost any
number of claims, in fact l had a letter
only two or three days ago from a friend
up there wherein lie stated that he had
jurisdiction over no less than thirty
claims in that region, which means 600
acres of territory
Il have seen many gold rUshes in my
time, and as isinvariably the case, the
major portion Of those who go to the
fields consist Of men who knew absolutely
nothing about mining. From what have
seen the crowds at Seattle. the Nome
rush this season is no exception to the
rule. Undoubtedly there are some among
them who will make their fortunes before
they return, but it is safe to say that it
will be but 10 per cent of those that go
up there
Mr.. Turner says he is tarrying in Zion
in order Ito see the Mormon elephants.
After he has rested up in this city he
proposes to continue east until he arrives
in his native country, Ireland, where he
will remain for the space of one year be-
fore returning to Canada.

"Sanpete will be one of the most prolific
counties in the state as soon as the Nam
moth Reservoir company get its tunnel
into operation, said State Senator Ferdi-
nand Alder of Manti at the White House
last night The stockholders held a
meeting in Manti last night and think
that the project will be pushed to an
issue. The contemplated tunnel is to be
I'm the neighboThOod of a couple of miles
IN length and is to be bored at the north
end of the valley, so that the entire area
OF the ground below, between the noun
tains. will by this means be brought I'M
der successful cultivation. There are
thousands of acres across the Sanpitch
river just under the foothills that have
never been turned over by the ploW for
the reason that it has been impossible in
the past to irrigate them, With the new
irrigation company coming upon the. scene
this state of affairs will be thing OF
the past, and Sanpete county will blossom
as the rose.
Mr. Alder placed himself upon record
as being enthusiastic in regard to the
prospects in his county for general pros
perity this season. He left last night for
Idaho in order to look after some mining
property in which he is interested in that
state.

A. T. Harris, an old time Seattle hotel
man, but now of the Union PACIFIC dining
car service that runs between Ogden and
CHEYENNE. was in town yesterday for the
first time in his checkered career. Harris
was encountered at the Kenyon fresh and
rosey from a twO-hOuT float UPON the
bosom of the Great Salt lake. What he
said about the sensation would make
circus advance agent weep tears of envy.
Later he said: You people here IN salt
Lake have no conception in regard to the
Cane Nome travel that has been coming
along in a steady flow from the Missouri
river for weeks past. Every train has
been loaded and almost the entire travel
has been over the northern lines which
connect with the Union Pacific"

Yesterday ere proceeding on his journey

Knutsford he proceeded to throw bou-
Duets al Salt Lake as a summer resort.
and an ideal spot generally. In speaking
in regard to the theatrical season he said
that the year just closed had been very
successful one in every line of attrac-
tions. and that the runs that had been
made at some of the best theaters were
without precedent; notably was this
the case in the production of Ben Hur,"
which seemed as though it would continue
to draw packed houses for many moons TO
come.
