That Claim Has Depre-

day afternoon. 4 greater part Of the
day was devoted to taking evidence of
fered in rebuttal by the Coalition com

examined, including Charles ?. Brooks
William A. Wilson, j. Benton Laggat
and Superintendent George D. Blood of

to date. That while each Of these men
had examined all the underground work

considered the property Of little OF nc
