yesterday afternoon, was recalled to-
day and was asked concerning a print
ed report OF the financial condition OF
the MinerOs Company. This was OBJ
iected to at first but later the ohjec-
ton was withdrawn and Professor
Fulton was allowed to finish.
Dr. Louis f. Ricketts, Of Inspiration,
Arizona, was called by the plaintiff
and described in detail the workings
OF the processes used by the Mineros
Separator Limited. which he claimed

fessor Charles II. Fulton, of Cleve-

demonstration. Professor Fulton was
on the stand when court took a re-
cess until this morning. The morn
ing session yesterday was devoted to

of copper would produce 50 or 40 PEI
