Burns, defendant In the big mining suit, continued Friday to tell his story of his relations with James Doyle, the plaintiff, In their mining enterprises In Crlpplo Creek, which led to the formation of tho Portland Gold Mining company, of which ho Is president. Ho was on the stand all day, but his examination fatigued him and former Governor Thomas so that at i o'clock Judgo Green adjourned court In defcrenco to their request. His testimony wns a specific contradiction of tho ovldcnse given by nine witnesses for Doyle, Includ ing that of Mrs. Stcadman, who was the only woman, It Is said, on Battle mountain In tho early days of tho Cripple Creek camp, nnd whom Mr. Burns raid ho did not even know. Taking up tho story of his early days In Crlpplo Creek whero he left off Thursday .evening, he told how Doyle went hack to tho camp about the middle nf August, 1S92, because ho could not find work In Colorado Springs, nnd thought he could get emplay- ment in tho camp. He told briefly of tho fight In tho cabin which was related by O'llalre with so much relish, nnd sntd that the trouble started through his relocating the Bobtail No. 2 as tho Yellow Jacket. He did not do nny .more work on tho Yellow Jacket nftcr the flght In tho cabin, for fenr of further trouble. Ho said that from' May 1, 1892, to January 1, 1893, he furnished all the living supplies that were used by him nnd Doyle In camp, tho money at the rate of $5 n week being furnished by his sisters. Ho told of re locating tho Maude White claim ns tho Tidal Wnvo, on which Doyle assisted him to sink tho shaft, Doyle offering his serv ices, as he had nothing else tn do nnd had been living off him In tho cabin. Ho said that Doyle never did nny of tho development work on the Devil's Own or tho Bobtnll No. 2. Ho sank two shafts on the Bobtnll No. 2 In November and Decem ber, 1892, striking tho ore vein at eight feet. About tho same tlmo John Unman struck ore on the Portland. Ho told of Doylo'H agreeing to glvo John Unman n third Interest In tho Portland In considera tion of his doing tho assessment work. The first oro was shipped from tho Port land In January, 1893, which nottcd $400, nnd this was equally divided between the witness. Doyle and Harnan. About this tlmo the witness said he sold a fourth In terest In the Bobtnll No. 2 to Frank Peck for $500 ensh, out of which money ho pnld Tom Hnrnan for his work on tho clnlm. At this point y his testimony related to the Incidents leading up to tho organiza tion of tho Portlnnd Gold Mining com pany. In May, 1893. an ndverso claim was fllol against tho Bobtail No. 2 nnd the witness gave an attorney named Harrison a one-fourth Interest In It to defend It. Shortly nfter there were forty lawsuits on the Portlnnd nnd Bobtail. Doylo, tho wit ness and Harnan employed Harrison to defend tho Portland and In September also retained Senator Patterson. In February, 1893, the second shipment of ore from tho Portland netted $2,100 and shortly nfter tho witness sold tho Bobtnll to Dovcreux, who paid $1,000 down, $3,000 in thirty days and $3,000 In sixty days, tho money being divided among tho witness, Peck nnd Har rison. Doyle, he said, know tho money had been pnld and novcr made any claim for a sharo of It. Ho then told of the sale of the Portland to Condon & Crosby nnd how they woro unnblo to meet tho second payment nnd how In March, 1894. tho Portland company wns formed and the. purchase by it of tho Portland and tho Bobtail No. 2 and the ls8tutnco of tho stock In payment, as tes tified to by Peck. Whon O'Hnlrc began suit against the witness and Doylo It wns decided that tho attorneys for tho company should defend both suits. Ho said that at the outset of tho O'Halro litigation Doylo put his stock out of his namo, only keeping sufficient in his name to entitle him to act as a director of tho company. One hundred thousand of Doyle's shares worn placed In tho witness' nnmo and tho rest In the name of Knto Burns ns trustee. In July, 1895, the compnny bought tho Tidal Wave and Devil's Own from tho wit ness, paying 3J5.000 shares for them. Hum a said he gavo 25,000 "each to Doyle and Peck out of the shares ho received. Ho denied the statements mnde by John Kllday when on tho stand for Doylo and said the first time ho had seen Kllday to know him wns when he was pointed out to him on tho train coming to Council Bluffs at tho first trial in October. At this'polnt In his testimony court ad journed.
