Eureka Consolidated versus The
Richmond Consolidated.
Testimony Of Thomas J.. Read, U. =.
Deputy Surveyor.
THE COMPROMISE LINE.
Seventh Day.

corporation was formed. Power Of attorney
offered in evidence; filed, and objected to.l
Thomas J. Read recalled have read COM
plant in this action; the Margaret is the Luz
pita ground embraced in the description on
map A; l have observed ore groupings on the
surface of tbs Richmond mine; | can't say as
to the exact point; l have examined the Rich
mond working shaft on the mine: tho ore in
the shaft is part of the same vein as the Rich
mond groupings; tho mining claim on the
NV. side of the compromise line is known
and worked as the Richmond mine; l have a
diagram or section, made the same as the
diagram formerly made on the black board;
the surface workings Of the Richmond, and
the working shaft, are on the NV. side of the
compromise line. MAP shown.l This map
is a sectional plan across the line from points
A and b on map A; the point marked quartz
ito represents tho quartzite, and underlying
the VEIN; the red line represents the foot
wall; the black line the SUI face Of the hill;
point marked vein matter represents the
vein or lode; tho blue line represents the
hanging wall; the point marked limestone

say approximate, because / have not meas
ured them sufficiently to determine their size

shows the clay seam; foot walls are found on
tho surface at the Nindsail shaft, at the 5th
level; at tho bettom Of the Bell shalt, and on

of the Bell shaft is marked b on the map.
