streaks from which the slopes on the
Dewitt were made. He thought the dip
was a little to the south and
the strike was east and west.
The Mckinley slopes had a lit
tie more inclination than the
Bryan slopes. At the 450 the inclina-
ton is more to the north. He thought
the Bryan, Mckinley and $50 slopes are
practically the same ore body There
is distance of 80 or 40 feet between the
north and the south Slopes of the $50.
Between the Mckinley north and the
Mckinley south Slopes the distance Is
% TO 30 feet. The north and south Bry-
an Slopes are about so or so feet apart.
He had not measured the distances,
however, and might be mistaken. The
streak on which are the Mckinley,
Bryan and $50 slopes is called the
Windlass streak. The Free Milling
raise is continuous from the $50 to the
$50. The Michael Dewitt raise starts
from the 600 of the Snohomish, but
whether ii has been stopped from the
$50 of the Snohomish to the 450 of the
Rarus the witness could not say. The
sulphides extend 60 feet above the $50
on the raise. The vein continues up
with the raise to the wash. The Chase
raise also follows a streak of ore from
the top of the slopes of the $50. There
is a streak in the Michael Dewitt shaft
with a north dip. The witness said he
had been given no instructions as TO
how he should put in the timbers on the
Free Milling raise. Questioned as to
water he said he found water dripping
on the 500 crosscut up to the Sullivan.
He considered that footwall country.
The next expert for the defendants
was j. E. Dunstan. He had been a
miner for 20 years, and has mined in
Michigan and for II years in Butte. He
had worked in the Alice. Pacific Noun
tain Con and the Leonard. The Leon
ard is northeast of the Rarus The
Leonard and Mountain Con mines are
copper lodes The witness had never
worked in the Rarus mine, but had
been engaged for Two weeks in an ex-
animation of the mine. He examined
the little streaks in tunnel No l. He
found ledge matter in the tunnel and
also In tunnel No. 2. He saw granite
there, but could not discern any foot or
hanging wall. He went from the tunnel
down the Corkscrew raise to the $50
crosscut east of No. shaft There was
discoloration in all directions. He
couldn't say there was any footwall
there. The crosscut is driven in ledge
matter. In tunnel No. 3 he saw country
granite and ledge matter. In the $50
crosScut under the east end line of the
Rarus he discovered at the north end
10 feet of granite containing no mineral
and he concluded that to be the foot
wall. Further down little to the south
OF the Snohomish raise, barren gran
te is encountered again. Between the
two places is ledge matter. The barren
granite he concluded to be the hanging
wall. In the Chase raise is a diagonal
seam and also in the Michael Dewitt.
The streak in the Michael Dewitt up
raise below the Heinze upraise it is
more decomposed than above. When a
north dipping and south dipping streak
come together the south dipping streak
invariably carries off the north dipping
streak. The Chase raise and the Michael
Dewitt raise come together and go off
south. The witness had examined the
TIA raise. The first ore there is sui
phide. At the 400-foot level the foot
wall crosses No. l shaft. Going west
from No. l shaft there are some slopes
40 feet north. There the witness went
down to the $50. At the 450-foot level
the witness followed the diagonal
seams and stringers of ore. There is
not so much STOPPING ground. The wit
ness located the hanging wall on the
450-foot level near the Windlass drift.
The Free Milling raise is of ledge mat
ter. 1t is about on the limit of the
hanging wall Between the footwail
and the hanging wall which he had in
dicated he designated all the ground
as one lode. There are several nice
Streaks of ore running parallel and con-
nected. There is decCmposed mineral
iAtu diiitt. IL 10 iIbl country &,
for the reason that it is mineralized.
It is also more decomposed rock than
the country rock.
The witness described the clay seams
and said there would be an inch of clay
or mud separating the ore, but there
would be ore on each side of the seams.
There was no displacement of the ore
on account of the seams. From his
examination of the ground in contro-
versy and from all he had observed in
the ground and on the surface the wit
ness, as miner gave ii as his opinion
that instead of being several distinct
veins il is all one lode The veins are
all linked together by seams and You
are not out of ore anywhere between
the walls.
Mr. Lindsay conducted the cross
examination. The witness said he
worked in the Alice two or three
months: in the Pacific about nine
few months. He had been in Butte CON
tinuously since 1889, except a few
months in Neihart. He worked in the
Leonard. Mountain Con. Ophir and
Soudan mines in Butte. He worked in
the Leonard month. He worked in
the Ophir a year, in the Soudan a year.
and in the Mountain Con a year or
two He had worked in these places as
an ordinary miner except in the Ophir.
when he was shift boss part of the
time and in the Soudan he was fore
man. He last worked in Gamblers
mine. which position he quit in order to
examine the Rarus.
The witness thought the lode from
200 to 300 feet wide. He had seen a
number of wide lodges not very we'll
mineraliZed.
In all the mines you have worked
in. have you ever found a ledge 800
feet wide?"
Not that wide"
How wide was the Leonardo"
Il found 1t pretty wide, but not so
wide as the Rarus. 1t was over $50
feet
What did II look like"
TT was not sulphide ore, but a sort
of decomposed granite. II did not look
to me as though it would pay any
thing"
Did the ore look like that on the
400 of the Michael Devitt?'
Some parts of IT.
