Mines company Frank Anderson.
surveyor employed by the Silver
King Consolidated Mining company
showed this morning in the hearing
of the case before Special Examiner
John W. Christy. brought by the lat
ter company 70 recover $4,000, 600
for ore extracted from the Parsons
stope, how much Imagination had been
worked into the exhibits OF the Coal-
ton company From the data in
Brooks survey books. Anderson was
only able 20 obtain skeleton Of the
underground workings and he could
deduct no conception Of the size or
the ore body in the Parsons stOpe.
The exhibits made by Brooks for the
Coalition company are elaborate and
extensive in many tints and colors
purporting TO show the kind OF ore
and the quality and the extent Of the
drifts and raises and winze. Brooks
testified that he produced the exhibits
from the data given In his books.
which were turned over to Anderson.
When these exhibits were offered I'm
rebuttai to the testimony given by
ferred that Brooks had manufactured
his exhibits and models. The exhibits
furnished by Brooks, the defense eX-
pect 10 show, have reduced the size
OF the ore body and that the sur
veyors and engineers perjured them
selves IN testifying in regard TO the
extent OF the Parsons stupe. The
testimony offered this morning had

DICKSON TOLD TO WAIT
Judge W. H. Dickson chief counsel
for Kearns demanded possession OF
the books at once which contained
this data from which the exhibits
were made
You viii have to wait until ] am
through with them on direct eXamina-
ton" Attorney Herbert Il Macmiliin
replied.
''wen. / have got to have them be-
fore that" Judge Dickson responded.
IF YOU need them that bad send Mr..
Brooks up to the office and make
copy of them" replied Mr. Macmil-
lin.
II see where We viii have 20 take an
adjournment for a week n thats the
case. / am glad 10 know how you reel
about IL anyway" Judge Dickson said
FINED TO SUIT HIMSELF.
In going into the details Of the data
contained IN Brooks books, Anderson
showed that many Of the survey lines
were not even tabulated and that there
were some marks in the book which he
was unable 70 decipher. There were
squares and reCtangles drawn IN the
book without any distances marked.
But on Brooks exhibits. IL was shown
by comparison that he had IL an work
ed out to suit himself. In the books
there were such rotations as Winze
down" raise connection ana raise
start" which meant absolutely nothing
ON the book The slide winzes drift
in the book corresponGed TO The hang
ing wall drift on the model IL was
found out
Anderson spent the entire morning
comparing the maps he had drawn
from Brooks notes with the exhibits
Brooks had drawn from the same notes
with everything material TO the defend
ants side Of the case appeared 20 be
thrown IN. Brooks consulted frequent
la with Judge Dickson and they both
wore an uneasy expression when the
discrepancies were being picked out
It rs now up 10 the defense 20 eN-
plain these discrepancies n possible.
Anderson has a dozen maps which Will
De introduced later as exhibits from
his own survey showing that the Par
SONS stone Is much larger than Brooks
exhibits show. Anderson's direct eX-
animation will probably consume sew
eral days.
