Witnesses for B. & M. in
Pennsylvania Contempt
Case Still On.
TRIAL DRAGS SLOWLY
Wood Model of Workings
of the Mine Was In
troduced Today.
Reno Sales, the third witness for the
Boston & Montana in the contempt cases
being tried before Judge Clancy, concluded
his testimony this morning.
Mr. Sales' testimony tended to prove
that the three veins, Nos. 3, 7 and so, were
separate and distinct from any veins
awarded the Montana Ore Purchasing com
pany in the Pennsylvania case.
Mr. Forbis, counsel for the Boston &
Montana company, conducted the direct ex
amination and J. M. Denny, the cross-ex
amination.
Glass Model Used.
The glass model of the Pennsylvania
showing the veins was used frequently to
illustrate the various points. The witness
corroborated the two preceding witnesses
in the theory that the "blanket vein" did
not cross the Pennsylvania and embrace all
the ore bodies.
The claims of the other side in reference
to the extent of the veins were contra
dicted.
The vein described as the one which cuts
off the so-called "blanket vein" is No. i .
The three veins Nos: 3, 7 and so are fur
ther south and the witnesses have testified
that they are entirely separate and dis
tinct from the ore bodies of the Johns
town claim.
Trial Proceeds Slowly.
The trial of the case is proceeding slow
ly and a great amount of technical evi
dence is being introduced. This afternoon
the attorneys for the Boston & Montana
company brought into court a wooden
model of the Pennsylvania which shows
the stopes and other workings of the mine.
The purpose of the wooden model is to ex
plain several points that cannot be illus
trated on glass.
Fred T. Green Called.
Fred T. Green, a mining engineer in the
employ of the Anaconda coimpany, was
called to the stand this afternoon. He
was examined concerning his knowledge
of the underground workings of the Penn
sylvania and his testimony was illustrated
by use of the wooden model.
The model itself showed the three
veins in colored woods. The division line
which had been established by the court
was represented by a sheet of green cellu
loid.
The veins numbered 3, 7 antd so, were
shown in the model to he distinct from
any veins beyond the division line. No.
3 vein is a considerable distance from
the other two and shows that it is no
nearer the other two at the beginning than
when it reaches the lower levels.
The examination of Mr. Green continued
all the afternoon.

GARRETT OLD-TIMER
MINER FROZEN TO DEATH IN MADI
SON VALLEY WAS IN ALDER
GULCH IN '63.
SPEC'IAI. T TIIE INTEK MOUNTAIN.
Virginia City, Dec. 3.-The coroner's
jury that looked into the death of P. A.
Garrett, the old miner and prospector
whose body was -found yesterday by a
couple of miners at the head of Barton's
gulch, eight miles southwest of here,
found that he came to a natural death.
The evidence disclosed that he left his
place about to days ago to walk to Vir
ginia City.
*It is presumed that he was taken with
heart disease, with which he was troubled,
and expired on the trail. Ils cane was
found sticking in the snow beside his
body, while his coat and vest were un
bottoned, indicating that he was heated
from walking, as it was a warm day when
he started to town. The body when found
was frozen stiff.
The dead man had quite a history. lie
was 71 years of age and came to Alder
gulch with the first party after the gold
discovery in 1863. There are only two
living members of that party of argonauts,
George Gohn and Nelson Ptomey, both
living here.
Mr. Garrett was never married, and the
only known relatives are a sister in St.
Louis and a relative living somewhere in
the South. He was once deputy clerk
and recorder of Madison county under
A. V. Cory, now of Butte, in the 7o's.
The dead man left little excepting some
mining property. He stood well in the
community and there is regret over his
sad ending.
