ground.
George L. Multhorpe was the next
witness for the plaintiff. He said he
has examined most of the mines of
Butte with the exception of the Ana
conda and Chambers syndicate mines.
He had particularly examined the
Michael Dewitt and Rarus. He did not
consider 1t possible to trace the limits
of the zone as done by the defendants.
His particular object had been on hear
ing the testimony of witnesses for the
defendants to try and trace the walls
of the Zone as they had done, but he
had been utterly unable to do SO. He
did not believe that such limits could
be accurately defined. Just beyond the

reason could be assigned why they
were not in the zone also. The witness
testified to the apex of the veins in

claimed hat they are not h a miner
woul pay any attention to.

worked in the BLU jay three or four
months about three years ago. He
worked in the Spectator at the time
Of the explosion. He worked two

miner that the mines in dispute are

the Michael Dewitt ground.

sure"
IF you had been turned loose in tn
mine all by yourself. do you think you
would ever have found that fault?"
Il think i would. 1t is plain to b.
