GRAND CENTRAL DEFENSE STATED BY
JUDGE DICKSON.

: In round numbers this claim is S,VeO
feet in length. 1t is represented IN Iuli
on this map Z. 290 feet OF the north END
of it contains nothing except IRON
stained rock and calcSpar. So FAR as
the evidence disclOses, there is nothing
that has been found on the surface or
beneath the surface within the bound
aries extending vertically to the deep
The presence of iron and calc-
spar indicate nothing in cur opinion
and in the opinion and judgment OF
our witnesses as TO the presence or an
sence of a vein You find it in eVerX
mineTalized country and through the
district in which these mines lay You
can scarcely go a hundred feet in any
direction that you viii not find lime
more or less iron stained, and Where
there has been a crack you VIII ma
the calCspar filing these cracks As
has been said by some of the Wit
neSses, that iron is one of the most
widely diffused and universally distrib-
uted of all the minerals
Now we vii undertake to show that
the apex OutcrOps at the southeriy end
of lot So You find II not only where
it has been exhibited on the contour
map. but you find 1t east, think, on
the same OutcrOp. Why that was omit
ted by our friends on the other side /
don't know: we can only speculate;
but our witnesses will show that the
apex and outcrOp of the vein in the
as far east as the Young Mammoth
tunnel and that is as much of the out
crop of the vein as the apex cave SJOpe-
AS you go then in a northerly difec-
ton you find from the outside ten

illustrated on every level from the sur
face down to the deepest Workings

found and shown to go passing a little
west and above the easterly edge OF the
Cunningham stOpe, and goes out 70 the
surface so far as the naturalization j:

The Grand Central's Claim
..It is my claim that our apex Outcrops
above the line of these slopes But we
say it is utterly immateriai- IT the
apex is not in Il II lot 80 it matters
not where it is. It must be in lot y
to give them the extra lateral rights
they are claiming, or their case IallS.
Mr. Dickson said that the trouble
with the Mammoth people was that
they COMPOUNDED the dip of the vein
with the dip of the ore bodies
MIR. Dickson then went into details
by references to the map TO snow tnaJ
the Mammoth people Ndu ioAAOttN Inv
vein on it's strike instead of its dip. and
they could not do that on an apex
question
c. p. Brooks was then called and
Identified some of their maps me
Grand Central people seem TO nave
about the same number of maps as the
Mammoth people, and they brought
them to light this morning for the HTSt
time. Among others they have one
map which shows all the workings IN
the properties Of both companies and
is very comprehensive map. Ihey
also have a map which shows the ore
bodies and the Slopes without refer
ence to the other workings IN develop
ment of the property, and thus presents
a very clear connection of the ore bod
les without being confused by repre-
sensations Of workings on the same
man.
The examination Of Mr.. Brooks, the
surveyor who made the maps of the
Grand Central. occupied the entire af-
ternOon and has not been concluded.
The direct examination closed at 4
O'clock and John Nj. Zane then cross
examined the witness until the hour Of
adjournment The REORGANIZATION
was directed principally to the failure
of Mr.. Brooks to include certain work
ings on his map that appeared on the
Mammoth maps. Mr. Zane also con-
tended that certain slopes were repre-
scented on the Grand Central maps as
larger than they actually We're In one
or two instances Mr.. Brooks stated
that he did not make actual measure
ments on account Of the difficulty IN
getting through the workings
