BURNS CONTINUES HIS STORY
Drfenilnnt In III .MIiiIiik Knit Con
tradicts Nine of Dnylr'ft
Witnesses.
James F. 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.

DES MOINES, Dec. 6. (Special.) Tho
news sent out from Washington to tho ef
fect that Governor Shaw of this state Is
considered a probability for tho proposed
plaro In tho cabinet, to bo known ns secre
tary of commerce, was received with Int
credulity here. Whllo tho fitness ot tho

Is not questioned, It Is believed generally
thnt Secretnry James Wilson, who repre
sents lown In tho cabinet, Is so firmly .en
trenched with the administration that thero
Is no danger of his retirement. There havo
also been rumors that Senator Allison
might become secretary of tho treasury, or
that J. S, Clarkson might represent Iowa
In tho cabinet ns postmaster general, but
these rumors hnvo all been discredited
here. It Is known that Secretary Wilson
expects to remain In the cabinet and that
ho Is pleased with President Roosevelt's
way of handling matters. Governor Shaw
Is busy preparing his message to tho legis
lature und knows nothing ot tho connection
of his name with n possible rnblnct posi
tion. Ho will retire from office next month
and It is said ho will dovoto his tlmo largely
