And Settlement OF Rock.

When NJ. r. Burgess. who was in
PRODUCED as an expert witness on the
expansion and settlement OF rock by
the Silver King Consolidated Mining
company In its suit against the Silver
King Coalition company was cross
examined at the hearing this morning
by Attorney A. c. Ellis. Jr.. counsel
for Thomas kearns and his crowd.
Attorney Herbert r. Macmillan de-
clired that the coalition company was
attempting 10 make him a witness for
his side Of the case Mr. Macmillan
stated his objection 10 the line OF testi-
nony as not being proper crOss-eNam-
inaton. He stated further that Ellis
was attempting 10 show that ground
would cave in under some conditions
naturally oven when IL was timbered.
In the denomination, Ellis took
the witness back 10 years, when Bur
CESS was In Mexico and had invesu-
gated the caving OF the roof OF a stope
which the mine operators had tried In
every possible way to stop.
w H. Dickson. chief counsel for the
coalition company, declared that Mr..
Ellis had no intentions Of making Bur
CESS their witness. As no ruling can
be made az the hearing before Special
Examiner John W. Christy. the wit
ness was compelled to answer the ques-
ticn. After the defendants purpose
had evidently been discovered, Mr.. Bur-
CESS was excused by Attorney Ellis.
Burgess has been acquainted with
railroad grading and understands the
settlement Of material OF various sizes
and the expansion OF rock. He testi-
fed in regard to the expansion OF rock
such as was found In the Parsons
stope under certain conditions.

Toying a much needed rest from the
strenuous range experiences ON the
Rocky mountain plateaus. OF course
they did some drilling, just for ex-
ercise and TO keep their hand In, in
case they might be wanted; but all the
actual hghting they did was to night

ways ready and willing to fight, and
learned a lot about camp life, a mill
tary experience
The Second cavalry was mustered
out and sent home in October Of the
same year when II became apparent
the forces already I'm Cuba were enough
To handle the situation with neatness
and dispatch. The boys did not have
the sensational experiences that mark
eC the post militant life of the First
cavalry. When the lonely squadron OF
that command returned from Cuba to
rejoln their hOrse-herding comrades at
Tampa, the entire command was
bundled off horses and all to Montauk
Point, l. l., where for 10 days or two
weeks, the regiment was petted and
feted

re-enter the service as the Eleventh
cavalry; but the boys wanted to go

orders not 20 interfere with them. short

Arizona section OF the regiment shot
OFF their revolvers and gave Apache
war whoops on the Brooklyn bridge,
terrorizing women and children. and
then adjourned TO the Hoffman house
where as many as could be accommo-
dated danced and pranced. The pO-
lice breathed easier when the gallant
soldiery departed
The departure OF the Second cavalry

the dispersion OF the First cavalry.
They didn't even have the picturesque
experience Of the Fifth Illinois infantry
which returned from Cuba I'm a gov

loads OF tropical souvenirs. including
parrots monkeys. dogs. and innumer-
able other things. The shrlll cries OF
the monkeys could be heard all over
New York bay.
The Second cavalry will enjoy its
coming reunion. Il is expected. at
Cheyenne. where r troop was enlisted,
and is a good place TO gather. The
regiments coming from sections OF
the country so near together Will make
II easier for them all TO attend.
