went to the 700-foot level in said mine

we found the sides and top OF said

DENIALS OF BROOKS EFT AL.
We found there evidences OF recent
and extensive workings but said Daley
and said Brooks who accompanied us,
assured US that no work had been done
there for a long period of time; said
McGregor told said Daley that there
was bulkhead at said point and
asked him to remove 1t, but DALEY
denied that there was a bulkhead there
and refused to remove the tagging;
that we thcreupon left said mine and
said McGregor went to Salt Lake City,
where as he afterward informed me,
he interviewed said Kearns. and told
him that there was a bulkhead in the
said mine on the 100-foot level. but
said Kearns denied the existence of a
bulkhead at said place, as said Nc
Greaor afterward informed affiant;
that subsequently again went to said
mine with said McGregor he having
informed me that We were TO have per-
mission to fully examine said 700-foot
level; We again went to the place where
sold McGrcgor claimed a bullhead
existed. and tore off the tagging above
referred to and found behind the same
about two and half feet OF earth and
loose rocks and behind this what after
ward proved to be a bulkhead COM
posed of rock and cement OF the same
color practically as the country rock in
said drift: the same was so cleverly
constructed that [ at first doubted It's
existence. but said McGregor insisted
1t was bullthead, and upon very care
full examination we found a seam
about the thickness of knife blade
running around the sides and roof. and
after working with it a considerable
time We succeeded In breaking down
a portion OF the cement work which
said McGrcgor carried to the surface
with him; said Daley and Brooks were
not with us at that time and while we
were tearing down said lagcing. loose
rock and cement work.
MORE FLAT DENIALS.
We afterward took said Daley to
said point and showed him what we
had found. but he denied 1t was a
bulkhead and refused to tear 1t down
or remove 1t; we then left the 700-foot
level and went up on the surface with
Daley. and on the following day he
informed us the bulkhcad would be
removed. but that 1t would be neccs-
sary for us to leave the mine and go
to Salt Lake City for 10 days OF two
weeks while the same was being re-
moved; wc asked permission to re-
main while said bulkhead wos being
removed but said Daley absolutely
refused to give permission and we
| thereupon returned to Salt Lake City.
| In about 10 days we returned to said
| 700-foot level and found said bulkhead
| had been removed, and upon investi-
| CATION we nsccrtained that bsyond the

| there were about 500 feet of under

KEITH WAS HILARIOUS.
Subsequently 1 met said Keith on

said 60 me, Don't you think that
