Velvet fraction covering the ground of the Tupper fraction. C. Galt appeared for the prosecu- tion and John S. ‘Clute, jr., for the defense. John Kirkup, the gold commiss- ioner and mining recorder, produced the affidavit in question, sworn to by Algiers before him on July 16 and said: “Algiers has been coming to my office, backward and forward, ever since the office was opened, five and whalf years ago. I did not ask ‘him any questions as to whether the land was occupied. I was at the Velvet mine last year with Mr. Kirk, when we were looking over _the proposed road and know there are some buildings there, but do not know about the limits of the claims.” Mr. Clute objected to the evidence as_an attempt to try a civil case in a criminal court, but was overruled, John L. Morrish was then called and testified that he was manager of the Velvet and Portland mines. He was shown a sketch plan of the Velvet fraction on the back of the Algiers lecation. The declaration was then read to him and he testi- fied: . “The ground is occupied by build- ings — the: boarding house, four dwelling houses and two stables. The houses are occupied by the em- ployees of the company. Fifty men ocenpy. the boarding house and twelve the other houses. The stables are both occupied by horses.” The accused could not help seeing them. I think he owns property in the neighborhood, but I could not tell the name of it; I think it is near the summit. The trail or road to it does not necessarily go near our The ildi have occupied the ground since last winter, some of them over two years. Before .this transaction Algiers had been purchasing sup- plies at the. Velvet. The Velvet Mines, Limited, is working the Velvet and Tupper fraction, adjoin- ing claims. I first saw the posts of Algiers’ location on July 18.” Cross examined by Mr. Clute, he had put up most of the buildings hiniself and had examined the ground. He was positive that all the buildings ‘he had named were on the Velvet fraction. The two stables had been there over two years and had been occupied. The ground staked by the accused cover- ed the ground of the Tupper fraction and the Captain. _ The Tupper feaction was 315 feet. wide by 715 long. There were buildings on the Velvet, mine buildings and stable. | Quite a lot of surface work hal been done on the Tupper fraction — ashaft, etc. One assessment had been ‘recorded, but he had been working it ever since the location. - The assessment work was recorded September, 1898, none since. He pointedout the location of the buildings. In reply to Mr. Galt, Mr. Morrish said the shaft on the Tupper fraction was 12 oF 14 feetdeep. The work- ings of the Velvet did not extend - into the Tupper fraction. From the situation of Algiers’ post No. 1, the Velvet fraction would take in one dwelling house. He had not re- ? eorded assessment work because certificates of improvement were posted’on all the claims, which led him_to believe they were all crown " peurited. Allen G.
