not know Of any other man who rep
resented the company in buying pulp
wood except Amcy.
a deposition by Forrest Colby, who
is ut the present time sick in Port
land, was then read. Mr.. Colby In
the deposition declared that at the
time OF the contract he was in the
employ of the American Realty COM
rany and that he often consulted
with MIR. Amey. advising him Of
various tracts of pulp wood which
might be good buys for the com
pany. MIR. Niles had spoken to him
about the allowance and he had TAX
en- 1t up with Amey and later Amey
said that it was all fixed. He had
heard Stearns and Niles talk after
Amey had left the employ OF the
company and az the argument be-
came somewhat heated he had left
, as it was no business of his. At that
! time he had heard Stearns tell Niles
that he would not be paid as Amey
had no authority TO enter into such
an agreement.
On cross examination in the de-
| position he said that Mr.. Amey Is
! now dead. Mr.. Colby had gained
the impression at the time that Mr..
/ Amey meant that II as no business
OF his when he said that 1t was oil
fixed.
The plaintiff rested here and
George NJ. Stearns, at that time
president of the American Realty
company, took the stand. He de-
Clarcd that Amey was his assistant
with no official standing and had no
authority other than that which was
given him in individual cases. Amey
had no authority to make such n ver-
bal agreement and the witness had not
known of 1t until after Amey left tho
employ of the company. At that timc
he had told Mr. Viles that Amey was
not authorized to make such con-
tract and that the company would
not recognize il.
He said that once in while, Amey
il he found n good chance to get
wood ut fair price, would close the
deal, always subject however TO the
approval of the company. Wood so
cut was received and paid for by the
company. Although at that time
high wages were being paid II de-
Velo7ed on cross examination tnot
the witness could not remember that
! any contract had been authorized for
so cents more cord. and did not
remember that MIR. Viles had been
paid that amount on the Carrabas-
set contract.

VICTIMS OF MINE CAVE-IN
FOUND TO BE STILL ALIVE

Gilman, Colo.-Five men entOmbed
late Saturday afternoon, May 10, in the
1900-foot level of the Black Iron mine
of the Empire Zinc Mining company,
near here, by cave-in of sulphite ore,
were found to be still alive Sunday
night, when rescuers succeeded in driv-
ing diamond drill through % feet of
debris to the drift where the men had
taken refuge, according to mine Of
ficials.
Continued cave-ins Saturday and
Sunday forced rescuers to abandon at
tempts to dig through the debris to
the entombed men.
The men entombed are: William
Nesbit, %, of Breckenridge; John An
derson, D. of Leadville; both timber
mems helpers, and three Mexicans.
Mine officials said that due to the
sixth level, where the cave-in occurred,
being dug on a IA per cent grade, it
was possible that the ore slide was
very rapid and had carried for several
yards. The temperature at the lever
is high which increased the danger
from gas, officials said
