Tense en- this point was Mr Gre-r.
shift boss in the Northern Be le
mine, under whose immedia q su
pervis;on al the ore firm the
ground in question was taken. He
placed it at little more than 5000
tons, and based his estimate on an
actual measurement of all the Belle
workings in the disputed ground,
together with the knowledge that
he had acquired by a daily inspac-
ton of the work of the width,
length and depth Of the ore bodies
developed by such workings. He
was emphatically positive as to the
average accuracy of his estimate,
and all the cross questioning Of

discredit on his estimate or the
re ,soning by which be arrived ct it
As to oas stope he had testified in
his direct examination that his
estimate vas based on a width If
about six inches and a length of
sixty feet, on his cross examin-
alton he was asked if it would not
be extremely difficult, if not i'm,
possible, to extract ore from a stope |
Of that length and not but
inches in width. The witness re
piled that such would b. the case
we're it not that beside six inches of |
Ore between two and three feet in |
width of waste rock was taken from
he store. Based on frequent
Essays he estimated the assay value
# the ore taken from the disputed
ground at not exceeding $50 per
on, and estimated the cost of
mining the same at $40 per ton.
