brated Kentuck vein, in Idaho, as a strik-
ing example.
IN THE AFTERNOON
Mr.. Hardness was cross-examined by P
L. Williams. The vein at the face of the
Court upreise was very plainly marked,
and a little back was six inches wide.
The Wine at the end was twenty feet deep
and was in quartzite at the bottom. When
he visited the cut showing porphyry, 1t was
his impression that il was local, but he
could not say whether or not it was really
a dyke.
JOHN JUDGE
testified-I have been miner nearly all
my life, and have had charge of the DAILY
for eleven years. The Mayfower shaft Is
run from the Court raise TO the bottom
in lime. l saw no quartzite at all
going down. | made a careful examlna-
ton. Quartzite is the footwall Of the vein,
because in d great number of places the
ore makes down through the lime and
rests upon il il some places for over two
hundred feet at stretch have examined
the Court raise carefully for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not it runs from
top to bottom in the same bedding plane,
and End that it does. 1t is in the vein from
top TO bottom, and l believe the Northland
is as well
THE PoRPHYRY DYKE AGAIN.
Mr.. Dickson-Assuming there is a por
phyry dyke running through the country,
would II terminate the vein or not.
The Witness-If the dyke ran through
the country in that way, it might dlslocate
or displace the vein little, but 1t certainly
would not terminate the vein.
do you know of instances where veins
have been cut by porphyry dykes and not
been terminated"
'Yes; the Ontario and DAILY are both cut
in several places and the vein is found on
both sides of the porphyry. l have seen
the same thing in the Black Horse mine, in
Wood River"
COLONEL L. A. WALL
testified that he had followed mining in
Utah for about seventeen years, all the
time as manager. He first examined this
ground in 1889, long before the suit was
commenced. His purpose at that time was
to determine the course of the vein and
secure control of the ground in which he
would find its continuation. He concluded
that he would
FIND 1T IN THE FAIRyIEw,
and therefore obtained an option to get con.
troll of that claim. The vein, in his opinion
passed through the north side line of the
Fairvlew, on past the Central Hill, without
touching il, and then on TO the works beinf
made. He arrived at the conclusion thA
this was the line of apex in 1889. Since
then he had found that in almost every
instance the cuts were started in the con
tact. In all of the cuts there was more OF
less minersiiZation. There was manganese
