The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-03-11

The east side of the ST. Lawrence
| where 1T connects with the Rarus is the
same kind of country as the St Law
| renee
In what do they resemble?"
There is the same characteristic of a
netting of seams"
How do you know this netting of
seams in the Rarus is the same as in
| the St. Lawrence?"
Il worked eight years in the st. Law
renee and that is the characteristic of
the st. Lawrence, where the ore gets
poor, as they call it,"
DO you consider the south line of
slopes of the Michael Dewitt to be on
a separate vein?"
No. SIR
DO the north Slopes or middle ore
body constitute separate and distinct
vein?"
mo, sir"
Mr.. Forbis conducted the cross-ex-
animation of Mr.. Cooney and first
asked:
You say you are now working in
the Anaconda ~
No; in the Never Sweat. The last
lining the Rarus.''
Then are you still employed by the
Anaconda company"
mo. l am employed just now by the
M. o. p. company"
When you get through with this
case, are you still going to work for
the M. O. p. company"
mo. I'll probably go back to the
Never Sweat If / can get work there
What is the greatest width of the
st. Lawrence lode?"
The widest l measured was 10 feet"
''On what level is that?'
''On the 300
How is it at the east end?"
1T is wider than that, but broken
up"
rs it stopped more than that?"
1T was not stopped at all at the east
end when / worked there | saw
streaks of pay ore
You think the ST. Lawrence mine
shows the same characteristics as is
to be seen in the connection in the
cross-cut from the 900 level?"
Yes, sir"
How wide is the vein there"
Il have not measured it,"
what is the character of the coun-
try?"
Just about the same as what I re-
member of being in the st. Lawrence.
L. B. Sullivan was No 10 of the de-
PENDANTS experts. He had been a
miner % years. of which II was in
Butte. He had worked on the Anacon-
da, st. Lawrence, Liquidator, Modoc
and Matte and several smaller copper
mines. He had observed the ore oc-
currence in lodes and recently had
spent 10 days examining the Rarus
lode. The witness pointed out the
hanging wall and the foot wall as thew
appeared in various parts of the mine
tracing them about the same as other
experts had done, and his testimony
covered about the same ground as that
of former witnesses. He had exam
ined the alleged fault, but would not
call it a fault because the ore was the
same on both sides. The Kempsey
raise crosses the fault but goes down
on ore from top to bottom.
You have worked in the ST. Law
renee and Anaconda?"
Yes, SIR
Have you ever gone from a drift
of the Rarus to the st. Lawrence
Yes, sir"
From what level of the Rarus are
you enabled to do this?''
From the 700-foot level"
Where is this drift located from
which you get to the st. Lawrence?
1t is on the foot wall vein.''
On cross-examination Mr.. Sullivan
said he is working for the Washoe
Copper company, but has been exam
iiiHS ihC IAdI 10 LII d lew ddyS. lie Is j
going back to work for the Washoe |
when he gets through, he said. In 1898 |
he worked in the east Slopes of the GOO
foot level of the St Lawrence. AT the |
conclusion of the cross examination |
the noon recess was taken.
At the opening of the afternoon ses- |
sion the redirect examination of Mr. I
Sullivan took place. He said that in |
his experience in the camp the foot wall I
m hat
sinking on the Rarus claim he would /
more likely run north in the search |
for ore.
The next witness was j. O'Brien. He I
said he had been a miner % years and I
m Butte since 1882. He had worked in |
the Mountain Con-, Wake-Up Jim. St.
Lawrence and Anaconda for seven
years. He had worked in the Anacon-
ia and st. Lawrence off and on for
seven years. He had spent Is days ex-
aiming the Rarus mine and concluded
hat the veins and assures in the east
ern part of the Rarus constitute one
ode. The witness pointed out the foot
vail and hanging wall of the lode. lie
covered the ground in about the same
way as the former witness. The wit
less said he had gone from the Rarus
nine into the st. Lawrence on the 700
DOT level by means of a drift The
irift Is north of the hanging wall. The
irift was run from the St. Lawrence
nine. He considered the St. Lawrence
md Rarus the same lode. He did not
consider the clay seam In the Rarus
Is fault inasmuch as there is no dis
placement. The ore continues through
t from one side to the other The
kempsey raise is on ore all the way
rom the $50 to the 400 and crosses the
lay seam.
Have you seen any big lodes in this
amp, Mr.. O'Brien?" asked Mr.. Vale
Yes. sir
Name some of them"
The Mountain Con. Green Mount
in. St. Lawrence and Anaconda.
Have you seen the High Ore"
Yes. sir; / should say | had
rs that small lode?"
4 should say not. sir
How big is that"
..Well. nohndy knows n,nosc Ii |
