way in ore. From the Lawton shaft to the
next cut is $40 f.; don't remember what

connecting with tho 18th and 9th lsvcls; some
vein matter is found at that point; there is a
drift on that level, running south from shaft,
and another running east and west, all in
quartzite.

ore bodies that are not connected with

dence Of disturbance is u break across

perfectly smooth are positive evidences Of
great disturbance: l do not find thousands of

with the quartzite wall; l have no geological
opinion as to tho formation of ore bodies.
Moro ore is found at Treasure Hid than ut
Eureka. | think there is one main vein run
ming through Treasure Hill: the Limestone is
over two miles wide; | think the vein extends
from spar wall to limestone; no hanging wall
has been found; walls have been found on
Bromide and Chloride Flat; there Is more
ore found in the limestone at White Pine
than Eureka; tho vein is bounded on the
west by spar wall; never found ore to any
depth west of the spar wall; there is one
main spar seam found on Treasure Hill; don't
recollect of testifyiDg In the Blasdel trial that
the spar seam cat across the Ward Beecher;
there has been no ore body found northeast
Of the Richmond mine. The largest vein |
ever saw before coming to this district was
the Eberhardt and Aurora; that vein is a
half. milo long and 100 IT. wide. The hanging
wall running through the Bell sh aft is a clay

ore is found on the quartzite, sometimes on
the clay, and sometimes all the way between
tho quartzite and clay: the course of the
hanging wall exposed in the Bel shaft tun-
mel is south 80 Dig. east; the difference in depth
between the Bell shaft and 10th level is. $50
It. The course of the hanging wall found on
the Sd level of the X X is southeast; / found
ore on the I'd and Sd levels Of X X; the direc-
ton Of seam in X X is south 50 dg. east; in
the Bell shalt tunnel it is south 90 Dig. east; on
map A it would DO at point j.: the distance
between quartzito and clay seam Is $50 f., in
ore all the way; in X X it runs in Sd level to
clay, and I'd level to quartzite; there is con-
nection OF ore from I'd to 3D. level of X X; in
the X X ths clay seam is two feet wide on the
other side of limestone; l have never found
clay seam northwest of bell tunnel,

from shaft is $50 feet northeast; it exposes
limestone, ore and. quartz,ite; it starts in
limestone; | founl shale, or hanging wall, on
the Sd level of the X X ground two years
ago, at or noar tho placs where tn ore ex-
tends from wall TO wall; can not describe its
extent; have never seen hanging wall at any
other place in X h: it is exposed a distance
of 100 IT.
Cross-examined-The bedy of orc is sur
rounded b; limestone above, below. and on
each side. Mark A is accurate; that is the
approximate course; did not take dip OF
level; the drift that runs on the 3D. level rep
resents the course. In ths X X the clay seam
is light colored; on the 10th level OF tho Eu-
reks it is yellow, and in the Boil shaft tur-
mel it is white. In the X X the width of the
clay seam is two IT.. and in the Bell shaft
tunnel two #. The west end of I'd level Of the
Windsail shaft is in | mestono; can't tell how
far it is from quartzite; all that level Is In
limestone. Tho northwest end OF the I'd level
Of tho Eureka Consol dated mine is in limo

is 400 IT.: Its width at the Bell shaft tunnel is
about 600 feet.
Cross xamination-Thc depth Of the Bell
shaft is from 100 TO 200 it.; the distance from
Boil to Windsail shalt is aoout $50 it,; | don't
know the size of ore body on tho 9th level;
as far as [ have been up in the cave there is
ore: the ore goes down below the 9th level,
but don't know low far. MAP B was here

The difference between the Lowell of tho Law
ton and Bell shaft is 30 #. The 200 #. level il
go fl. below the surface, and the Ball shaft
40 it.; the Bell shaft is 30 #. the highest. At
point NJ the hanging wall is found in the b
X; ii is 100 It. deeper than the 22)-ft level of
the Eureka. The approximate course Of the
hanging wall is south so deg. east; its dip is
nearly perpendicular; in sides of Dirt it will
run between 70 and so deg in rising l20 it., it
would carry southerly 81 #. and a fraction. it
would carry through tho Bell shaft; from the
Bell shaft, TO whore tho toot-vall appears in
X X, it is $50 f.
