HOW BROOKS MADE ERROR
ANDERSON DESCRIBES THE WAY
THE MISTAKE WAS MADE.

1t was developed at the hearing yes.
terday before Special Examiner ]. w
Christy in the Silver King Consolidated
Mining company's case against the Sill.
Yer King Coalition company that ir
the measurements OF the Parsons stops
there exists discrepancy of over so ,OOC
cubic feet between the figures produced
by Frank Anderson, the surveyor for
the Silver King Consolidated Mining
company, and Charles P. Brooks, the
Silver King Coalition Mines company Z
surveyor. Upon the accuracy OF the
surveys of these two men apparently
depends the entire case.
Anderson was on the witness stand
all day yesterday under direct exam
ination. and this had been completed
when adjournment was taken until next
Monday. When the hearing is resumed
1t is expected that Judge w. II. Dick
son, chief counsel for the Coalition COM
pany, will take him in hand for cross
examination about the many discrepan-
cies that have been found between An
derson's surveys and those of Brooks.
In his testimony yesterday Anderson
said that the sections produced by him
on survey showed the cavity of the
Slope TO contain over 5000 cubic feet
This is an increase of more til an 80 900
1eet over the amount shown by the sur
Vey or Brooks The total cubical con-
tents of the space that represents the
material excavated from the stope, he
testified, amounted to 447,576 cubic feet
while Brooks had declared there were
but 207, 9S2 cubic feet
After Anderson had submitted his fig
ures and the startling discrepancy was
noted, Examiner Christy and counsel
for both sides agreed to have a Joint
survey made of the stOpe. Anderson
and Brooks, assisted by an engineer
who is to be decided upon by them, will
leave this morning for Park CITY To
make the survey. This will probably
take three or four days. and the results.
with complete map, will be given at the
hearing next week
Brooks has declared on the witness
stand that the Parsons stope measured
only 529,2S3 feet. The measurement of
the waste as given by Brooks is also
much greater than that found bv An
derson. This makes the open space es-
Innate by Brooks as much less than
Anderson's estimate OF it.
While the survey was being made
Anderson and his men made a search
for samples OF the ore in the walls of
- 1SDFNo SN4A1 dA44lo anu RAISES. Four
teen samples were procured. and in tha
map exhibited the exact spot where
they were found is marked. The SAM
pies and the assay of each will be pro-
dUced later.
In determining the size of the Par
sons Slope Anderson said he used the
same methods as employed by Brooks. |
He obtained planimeter from the sur |
Neyor general which was tested sew /
eral times. The volume of the open /
space was secured with this instrument /
Dy taking the width, breadth and height |
OF tiie cavities The filed portion was |
in similar manner.
In number of the sectional planes
OF the stope Anderson showed that
Brooks had represented the waste line
IN the Slope above the line of the roof
as determined in his survey. There was
a diIIerence OF five feet representing
lhe open space in one section. In the
evidence introduced 1t appears thar
BROOKS took the inside line Of the raise
