Especial 10 Inc aefdiu.l
Nephi. Utah, Nov. 23.-The seventh
day of the Grand Central Mammoth
struggle for the ownership of nearly
$500, 900 in money and ore bodies valued
we'll up in the millions brought out no
sensational features. Tonight both
sides profess to be well satisfied with
the progress of the case thus far.
The testimony taken today was
strictly in line with the Mammoth's
contention that its ore chutes or veins
or chimneys are continuous from the
point of discovery on No. IS, the origi-
nal Mammoth location. to the ore in
dispute on the 100 and 500 levels. The
witnesses who We're on the stand tes-
titled to this effect. Nothing was de-
velOped by the cross examinations con-
Quoted by Judge Dickson and Senator
Brown that would give the faintest of
clues as to the line Of procedure which
will be adopted by that side of the
case. Their questions bristled with
mining technicalities and showed a
thorough knowledge of the subject but
they carefully concealed the method
they win pursue when their inning ar
theory is that they will attempt to
show by their experts and other wit
neSSeS that the apex TO the Mammoth
vein is not on the Mammoth ground;
that in fact ii is on Grand Central ter

their theory good, suppOsing this to be
their theory. they viii be able to show
that the Mammoth had no right to fol-

kind of statement.
Ar Entertaining Tilt.
At the beginning of the afternoon
session Samuel Mcintyre was turned
over to Senator Brown for cross exam
nation. The ordeal lasted nearly two
hours. Frequently it was jocular in
character and more than once the
laughter was so audible that the court
had to rap for order. The senator and
the witness had one COlIOquy about
spar. Mr.. Mcintyre in the course of
of his answers was going over the
character of the vein. He referred to
spar as mineral. Senator Brown was
attempting TO show that the vein was
not continuous and he seized on the
spar matter
Did you ever mine on spar?" he
asked, Mr.. Mcintyre answered that he
had not. Then the attorney wanted to
Know if he knew anybody who had
mined for spar. The witness hadn't
heard of such a case.
Another time Mcintyre used. the ex-
preston and so FORTH after going
over the composition of the vein. The
examiner wanted him to be more spe-
ciic and finally asked if he hadn't used
the term by way of rhetoric The wit
ness naively answered that he had
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
what was the difference between winze

Climate and Crop Builetin.

The average daily temperature of the
past week was two To four degrees below
normal; tic days being moderately warm
with the average amount of sunshine
and the nights unusually cool for the mid
die of June. The conditions as to tenn
perature were highly favorable for field
work, and for oats, wheat, barley and
flax.
The rainfall for the week was very I'M
equally distributed; but during the period
from 9th to 18th all districts in he state
were copiously watered. Some, heavy
local downpours caused considerable
damage by floods on bottom lands.
But these storms brought much needed
moisture in sections that were threaten.
ed with great damage by drouth, and
the beneticent results vastly exceed the
incidental loss from excessive rainfall.
Reports indicate good progress in the
cultivation of corn, and the fields are
generally unusually clean. In the
southern section early planted fields are
receiving their third blowing, and at the
present rate of progress the bulk of the
crop will be laid by before the close of
the month.
Small grain crops are now doing fairly
we'll. In the northwestern counties
oats and wheat suffered considerably
from drouth, and the harvest will be
light The hay crop has received some
benefit from recent rains, but the yield
as whole will be light. Haying opera
lions are in progress in the central and
southern sections.
Reports as to condition OF apples are
not tlattering. Potatoes and garden
vegetables are very thrifty.

Death of Mrs. NJ. Mayer.

The city was shocked last Thursday
evening when the news came that Mrs.
NJ. Mayer had died at her home in
north Leon. She had been sufferer
for some time and had visited several
health resorts, the best medical skill
summoned and loving hands did all
they could for her, but of no avail, and
death came at last to relieve her of her
suffering.
She was born in Germany in
1857, and was married at Quincy,
Illinois, to Mike Mayer In 1873.
They came to this city in 1880, Mr..
Mayer engaging in the clothing bust
ness.
Mrs. Mayer was one of Icons most
highly respected ladies, having not a
known enemy, loved and respected by
all who knew her, a faithful wife and
loving mother. She leaves husband
son and daughter to mourn the loss OF
a wife and mother. Her remains were
taken to Chicago Saturday evening, a
large crowd Of sympathizing friends
accompanying the remains to the de.
pot. The funeral services were held al
Chicago Sunday morning at 1000 a. M
conducted by DR.. jacobson and the re-
mains laid to rest in the Mt. Moriart,
cemetery.
The heartbroken husband and child
rem have the deepest sympathy of the
entire community.

Sunday and pronounced it chickenpox.
To be on the safe side he had Drs. Duff,
Crofford and Trimtae go out with him
Tuesday and examine the case. They
we're unanimous in prononneing it bad
case Of chichenpox. Doubtless some of
our neighboring boards Of health would
have had the whole country quarantin-
ed fer smallpox"
Drs. Layton and Bowman, OF this
city were called to examine the case
last Friday and pronounce it ITO be a
very bad case of smallpox instead of
chickenpox. There are nine children in
the family and it is supposed all are
exposed to The disease. Too much care
can never be exercised in handling this
dread disease and we understand that a
number of other persons, who are
neighbors are exposed. A strict quar-
antine has been ordered by the doctors.
