Agreement Between Counsel ~ 10
Joint Determination of Specific
Gravity of Samples.

Where there exists difference Of
5000 cubic feet between the two sur
veys OF the Parson stope In the
Hanging wall drift, between sections
II ana 3 Inclusive, It was disclosed at
the hearing Of the case Of the Silver
King Consolidated Mining company
against the silver King Coalition Mines
company this morning that Charles y.
Brooks. surveyor and engineer FOR the
Coalition company had made another
big mistake. In the REORGANIZATION
OF Frank Anderson, surveyor for the
Consolidated, Judge w. 1t. Dickson.
chief counsel for the Kearns side.
bumped up against this fact. The very
work recently ordered in this section
of the stope by Kearns to disprove

went into this section of the stope and
found that Anderson's survey and
calculations were almost accurate.
DICKSON TACKLES ANDERSON
with great cunning and skin. Judge
Dickson went after Anderson ON cross
examination to disprove some of
AndersOn's testimony by his own
figures In this little mathematical

overlooked the elevation Of the in
cline and he was brought to the sud-
den realization that he was dead
wrong" This discovery changed the
entire course OF the -cxamina-
ton and when Anderson was excused,
his evidence and surveys had not been
shaken.
A determined fight is being made
over the location of the solid wall az
the west end OF the Parson stope, and
70 was here where Dickson thought
he had caught Anderson. In the
surveys. Anderson fixes the location
of the solid wall west Of the point
fixed by Brooks. This makes consider
able difference in the size Of the
stope.
SURVEYOR ENABLES HIM To
SEE"
Judge Dickson thought ne had it all
figured out where Anderson had made
n mistake OF FIVE feet, bringing tho
solid wall Co the cast OF Anderson's
location. From station ?. 3, Judge
Dickson started 10 have Anderson plat
of a little square which showed the
discrepancy
How do you account for that?"
Judge Dickson asked
why. you haven't figures In the ele-
walton Of this line running through the
stope It is at an angle Of A. degrees
and 40 minutes. and this map is plated
on the level"
"Oh. I Sec" said Judge Dickson. and
then he changed 10 another line of
questioning. This took Anderson over
n number Of points I'm Brooks survey
to show that some Of his mistakes were
not so bad after an. He picked out "a
score Of stations on Brooks original
survey showing the elevations, and
then asked Anderson the elevation
which had been determined by the
Joint survey The difference was in
most cases IN only hundredths Of n
foot Judge Dickson also went into
the cubical contents Of the Blue stope.
the Pink stope and the Brown stope
where Brooks original survey agreed
with the Joint survey Cons derablo
time was taken up I'm reading into tho
records the contents Of the filled and
opened spaces I'm these chambers.
JOINT TESTS or GRAVITY.
At the close Of the session this morn
ing. Judge Dickson asked for a joint
determination Of the specific gravity Of
the samples of ore introduced I'm the
case Brooks figures were disputed
by Or James T. Talmage. who made
the tests FOR the Consolidated Mining
company, and by DR. W. c.. EhauEh.
Attorney H. r.. Mcmillan, chief coun-
sci for the Consolidated. said that a
ioint determination could be made n
