the X X to the Boil shaft; il the variation
continued it would carry them several hum
dred feet apar,; / canrot see ints the ground;
/ do not know of the line of shale that run
above the wagon road to the Richmond
works; / never heard Of the J,f,rson claim;
l have been over the hill from tho Champion
to tho NV; there is a body of FINEST ono be-
tween the Champion and Bell snaft;- the in
cline is W. Of the ridge dsscribed;. l do net
excavation Of the Bell shaft than any other
place on the hill; qualification il very plain
to be seen on tnat side of the hill; t ere is a
difference in the lin -stt ne inclosed between
the two Wills and tho outsids limestone; the
inside lime.tone is rnero friable and corru-
gated than ths outside limestone; If should
find limestone in . tunnel run in the hill, it
would not after. my opinion: the clay is on
the inside; hard matter 8 behind the clay,
polished in some places and in others not;
where the clay jats against the limestone. AS
q general thing it is rough and broken; 1
SAINT say that ever found wall smooth on
the inside.
Redirect-I found hangius wall at the Boil
shaft tunnel: / expected to find it there, from
the general dip elsewhere; found hanging
wall In the n X two years ago last j une; /
came to the conclusion it was n vein four or
t.ld Mr.. K,yes that l thought it was a assure
vein; nov ST found any other wall between the
hanging and foot-walis; l have iound ore
bodies between the two walls in all the mines
Cross-examincd Il believe a hssur. vein is
. assure in the crust OF the earth, and has on
each side defined walls; the mater Contained
between those walls is vein matter, carrying
metals, such as gold, silver, lead. / on, anti
mony, arsenic and other minerals; there
might exist one or more assure veins cotigu-
Gus to each o'her.
Question by tho Judse-A-Ths h,nging
wall in the K X is first sesn in the Sd level;
l never saw it on the surface; | co lid not tell
where the ledge found in the Sd level would
appear on the surface.

lows: | reside mostly in Eureka; am by oc-
cupation Superintendent of the JACKSON
mine: have been Superintendent for thspast
year; 1 was Superintendent Of the Eureka

the X X is situated: it is north from the Eu-
reka Consolidated: am not familiar with its
underground workings; the next mine to the
X X is the Phenix; next to that the Jackson;
the Jackson shaft is i6D it. deep; have sunk
100 fl. [rock shown from the last Ito u. Of tho
Jackson shaft; the bottom of the shaft is in
that kind OF materi |; there is q main drift
running south from tho bottom of the shaft;
there is another drift starts from The 3UO-fo0t
level; from the bottom DRIFT running 5 3Uo

one; from that point. through clay shale -Ex-
hibit two; this materia! was from 4 to D tt.
thick; then came to material Exhibit three;
this was from q to 10 inches thick; then
passed into limestone vein matter, called
vein matter b cause it was of a different
character; drove through vein matter and
struck ore; then through thu ore to quartz
tie; the two walls ar. from 70 to 10 it. apart;
continued the drift 20 #. into the quartzite;
the quartzits foot wall was not worn smooth;
tho wall. lU0 #. W. from the point whore we
first get into tbs DRIFT. come together; have
not work ed any further in that drift, that
is, going w. from tie 460-fsot level; here
are worsings showing that the walls come
apart again between tho Jackson and the
Eureka Consolidated; the workings 10 the
feet wall runs Sc and N "; we run on the
foot wall 800 It.; the face Of the foot wall is
very Irregular; the general course is 50. and
NV; next to the jackson. and opposite the
their names; from the Eureka Co lsolidated
.hafr to the j Jackson shaft. the course is n W.;
in the workings Of the Jackson mine; the
foot wall changes ITS courss-it is in and out;
the foot wall takes a turn to the west on the
right hand side going in: the general direc-
ton is to the Sc; | saw the hanging wall in
the Eureka Consolidated; it is of the same
character as in the Jackson. | never found
solidatsd: ! ran the 5th. 9th and 7th levels Of
the Eureka Cons ,lidated; there was an ore
body extending from the I'd to tho 9Th level,
raised in size: we folio sed 1t all the way
Champion ground from the surface; we st TT
ed a tunnel and W mt over into Richmond
ground: went beyond point W. to the left:
run drifts on the line, and struck ore at the
bottom Of the Wine in Richmond grounJ;
they have since worked that ore: told Mr..
kickard l ha1 found 1t.
Cross-examined We did not work out any
ore, except what We ian through in the DRIFT:
did not know that we were on the line until
a survey was made by Mr.. Rea |: found ora
on the line; tho ore lay on b,th sides OF the
limo; We worked upon 1T until We worked 1t
out; the ore went up on our ground and down
in the Richmond 6 round; the general dir ction
Of the foot wall in the J ackson is E.andN W.:
the hanging wall is only found in two places,
and is the same; from the groupings the
Jackson shaft is 700 or 7v0 #. below; run q
level 5. from bottom of shaft q distance OF
100 IT,. l call the limestone vsin matter. DO
cause it appears inside OF tho walls; ! never
found any of this character outside OF
walls: | don't know whether you would find
GRO pings on the ives sid OF the shale; all
belts o. limestone are not vein matter be-
cause they cootain punches OF ore. | have
been mining in Nevada three years; was III

years, and in the boot and shoe BUSINESS IN
New YORK; all know about mining

ten months steadily; | have never noticed

have raised up % #. in ore; the ore varies

raise is in ore: the ore continues; tho foot
wall runs up straight. t 10 ore leaves the
quar- rite and makes off int, the lin %sstono;

to tbs I'd level; its length was from Is to 200
