Show THE FIFTEENTH DAY The Northland People Still Putting Put-ting in Rebuttal MR LONGMAID AND HIS NOTES The Witnesses In Rebuttal Testify That tho Vein Extending Away From the Fairview Fair-view Is a Fissure 4 Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the crest NorthlandMayflower trial and it found the plaintiffs still trying to batter down with rebuttal the strong case made out by the defense Additional testimony j was offered showing that while there was a vein extending uway from the Fairview and towards the Mayflower as claimed by the defense it was a fissure and not a bedded vein P L Williams conducted the examinations for the Northland and he handled his side of the case with consummate con-summate skill not overlooking the slightest slight-est detail which could bo brought out in plaintiffs favor The witnesses were subjected sub-jected to a terrific crossexamination by Judge Marshall Dickson and Brown and when the day was over they could certainly claim a full share of the honors Mr Dickson turned the notes taken by the witnesses to good account particularly in tho case of Mr Longmaid The crossexamination of CHARLES W WATSON a witness in rebuttal for the defense was first proceeded with He testified that he found quartzito in place in out 4 He thought that quartzito was encountered in cut 21 with lime in the face Do vou have a contact in out 51 asked I Judge Marshall Yes replied the witness And also a vein 1 Yes What was the dip in cut 71 About 12 degrees Is there quartzite there Yes the foot is a sandy quartzite Any vein matter there Yes about sixteen Inches The vein matter Is better looking here than in cut 6 What is the cut in 1 CHANGED HIS MIND Last fall I thought it was in quartzite and lime with a contact but am now inclined in-clined to think it is all quartzite What about cut 9i It started in quartzite with lime under lying The vein hero is four feet wide What dip did you take at cut 101 I took it IS degrees What about cut 11 There is about one foot of soft material there lying very flat It is not so good looking vein matter as In cuts 6 and 7 Do you have lime in the roof YesTilt THE CONTACT SHOWN AGAIN Cut 12 also shows the contact doesnt iU Yes there is a small vein there Lime in the face Yes And there is a contact there between quartzite and lime Yes it Is broken up lime though Isnt tho contact shown in cut 133 Yes it is about the same as cut 12 It shows that the lime is above doesnt it Certainly The ground around the Fairview shaft Is considerably broken up isnt it Yes You have been In the Fairview shaft Yes What was the dip of the fissure there Nearly vertical Mr Williams What do you find in cut IS on the defendants map A MISTAKE PERHAPS It is forty or fifty feet in and there is lime at each end with a belt of quartzite in the middle There seemed to be some doubt as to whether the witness described thia cut IS or some other as cut 18 is only run In about fifteen feet on the map E F SAMPSON was called by the plaintiffs and ho test lied that he had recently examined the line of outs extending around to the Fairview Fair-view incline He found a fissure vein in L the incline The witness then made the round of the cuts and was taken in hand L by Mr Dickson and the first thin brought out was that the notes from which thewit ness testified were made in 1890 He next discovered that certain portions HAD BEEN ERASED and written over and the book was at once passed over to the jury for inspection The witness could not tell Mr Dickson what he bad erased nor what the words In the bottom referring to cut 1 which were still visible referred to Ho believed that he made the erasure in the fall of 1S90 The witness believed there was quartzite in cut 3 although he formerly believed it was in limestone He changed his mind I because Wilson told him about an analysis Have you the contact in cut 62 Yes Havent you a vein twelve Inches thick I wouldnt call it a vein There may be i a little seam there I Isnt there a seam of decomposed mat ter a foot thick as testified to by Mr Watson Wat-son sonWell Well I didnt see it You say cut 8 is all in lime from mouth to face Yes You cant be mistaken about that No Is cut 9 all in quartzite hI think so No lime in the face I call it quartzite MQRE ERASURES What words have you erased here after the word quartzite I dont know It might have referred to the dip But did itt I dont know When did you make the erasure I dont know Sometime between the time I made the examination and note Didnt you make erasures in this very room yesterday when White and Watson were on the stand hI made some perhaps like writing seam for vein Didnt you make this particular erasure here yesterday 1 No Have you any contact in cut 101 I think its all in quartzite Did you tako a sample No Could you recognize a sample taken from cut 101 I dont think I could HE FOUND THE CONTACT You have the contact in outs 1415 and 16 Yes xo Mr Williams the witness stated that ho bad not changed his notes to make them conform with the testimony of other witnesses wit-nesses but to later conclusions arrived at by him Mr DIcksonThen why did you wait until you came into court yesterday before making the changes The Witness 1 made no changes Didnt you just testify that you did Well only as I have said Thats alL STUART STEPHENSOX next described the line of cuts and Arthur Brown proceeded to crossexamine him The witness stated that the contact was shown in the inner line of cuts Mr Brown Was the bottom of Cut 1 exposed ex-posed on Friday No it was covered with loose rock Could any witness have told tho forma tion on Friday I No not unless he picked tho rock out I couldnt tell And you didnt pick the rock out 41 did not Didnt you testify on the last trial that the bottom was in quartzite I I dont knowu HE CHANGED HIS MIND TOO 4 What you called quartzito on the last trial you have called silicious lime on this trial havent you Yes Is the bottom of Cut 3 in quartzito Yes u Cut No 4 is all in Quartzite isnt it1 Yes Where did you take your dip there I didnt take it CONTACT ONCE MORE In No 5 you found the contact didnt youYes Yes I Contact In cut No 6 too Yes I took my dip in it s How much of an exposure did you have i aveThe height of the drift Did you have the contact at 73 Yes What do you find in cut S All quartzite Mr DicksonOn direct ho said it was all limestone l The Witness Well calcarlous quartzite Mr Brown Dirt you mean siliceous limestone on your direct I I dont remember Isnt there quartzite in ten foot in cut 10 101I I think so Any limestone there I am in doubt as to that Ynat i811in ill In quartzite I believe Is your memory clear about that cut I couldnt describe it Isnt the contact there Well it may be Is the contact in H 15 and 10 A GOOD STRONG VEIN Yes there waG a assure in 9 you understand under-stand and a good strong vein Good strong vein eh Yes How wide Four or five feet The ore in that good strong vein would assay wouldnt it 1 think it would Are you in the habit of seeing circular fissure veins They are not always recular Can you name me another circular fissure fis-sure vein in this district No I dont know that I can It would be natural though for a con tact vein to describe a circle in conforming to the erosion It would conform to the erosion IN THE AFTERNOON Robert Golinski was called by the plaintiffs plain-tiffs as a civil and mining engineer and testified to the correctness of certain maps showing the quartzite and lime contact according ac-cording to the Mayflower cuts and also a model of the workings illustrated on panes of glass He also stated that a plaster model introduced by the plaintiffs was made by Mr Longmaid on information furnished by him and was a correct representation repre-sentation of the hills Mr Brown objected to the introduction of the model on the ground that it was no rebuttal but the court overruled the ob jection remarking that it would be unfair and parttal to sustain it Mr Bi own took an exception both to the remark of the court and the ruling Juror Criss asked the witness the dis tance from the vein in the triangle to the Fairview shaft and the witness gave it as sixteen feet On crossexamination Judge Marshall brought out the fact that before the trial the witness compared his figures of elevation eleva-tion with thoseof Mr Brooks AND THEY AGREED Yet there was a difference between then md now on the elevation of cut 9 of about t wenty feet and it was also brought out hat this difference was duo to the fact hat Mr Gorlinski took his elevation at the tripping of the cut On Mr Brooks figures the witness made the horizontal distance from cut 9 to the top of the t Northland upraise 1187 feet the vertical I distance 101J feet and the angle 5 decrees and 3 minutes Judge Marshall next brought out the fact that the glassmodel did not represent all of the workings The I attorney and the witness next engaged in a struggle as to certain PRINCIPLES IN GEOMETRY The discussion arose over a question as to whether or not it was possible to include any three given points within the same plane Before it was overall i over-all the attorneys and the court took a hand in it and finally the witness wit-ness said that it would be a mathematical impossibility for this to be done Sane Z S-ane remarked that he didnt think the witness and the attorney understood each other and Mr Williams impatiently told the witness to absolve himself from the question of dip and then go at it Mr BrownYou can answer it Will liams but he cannot The struggle was again renewed bur M bu-r Gorlinski stuck to his original answer an-swer even with the dip left out The attorneys for the defense all ap peared to be pleased with the answer and Judge Marshall then took up the question of elevations Here they got along better the witness > agreeing with the attorney on three important propositions JOHN LONGMAID was called and testified to having made the plaster model It did not fully show the ground as cuts 5 and 17 were not 0 nand it i n-and the crest of tne bill was not quite hisrh eribugh to show the true elevation I This inaccuracy was explained by the witness as being duo to the fact that he did not have the time to complete the model He described the line of cuts as the other witnesses bad done There was a fissure vein in cut 9 On crossexamination the witness elated that there was a bedrock vein in cut 7 well defined and dipping at an angle of 13 degrees Before Mr Dickson got through with the witness he succeeded in I giving him a frightful shaking up Mr Lonprnaid said that cut S was all in quartz He I both on direct and crossexamination I Mr Dickson D1IMANDED THE NOTES made on the gronnd by the witness as to I this cut and then read that the cut was all in i limestone with no sign of quartzite Mr Longmaids explanation of this wa that calcarious quartzite and silicious limestone lime-stone were nearly alike tbat it was almost al-most impossible to ditiinguish the difference differ-ence Dickson once more GOT THE WITNESS ON THE HIP through this by insisting that if ho could make such a mistake in this one cut his testimony as to the formations in all 01 them was unreliable W A WILSON also testified as to the cuts and his cross examination will commence this morning |
