streaks run together like fingers into
the palm of a hand l think this must
nave been due to a secondary teaching,
which welded and linked the ore
stfeaks, decomposing and altering the
granite, teaching out the mica by
means of the surface water and depos-
ting copper in various FORMS.
summing up his examination, the
witness said: II have arrived at the
conclusion that the top and outcrop Of
this lode has a course ABOUT parallel
with the south side line OF the Rarus
'Ashi1h anu Ia -UU TO ouJ 1EeI N1de. AI
the extreme east end of the Rarus
claim is a small part of the outcrop
which passes across the southernmost
SIDE line OF the Rarus, but the great
majority of the outcrop or apex--I
should say three-fourtns or five-sixths
of it's within the Rarus claim at it's
eastern end. 1t proceeds thence west
erly. We can locate the hanging wall
at point near the south side line of
end line of the Rarus, opposite No.
shaft. From that point on the whole
width of the outcrop west is within
the Rarus claim. The dip averages 20
degrees and in depth it so far departs
from vertical as to pass underneath
the side line of the Rarus and enters
the Michael Dewitt ground and some
part of the Pennsylvania ground. The
Rarus has connections with the Sno-
homish, the Mountain View and the st.
Lawrence. The steep connecting lode
is stopped in continuous ore from the
deepest to the highest working. These
ore manifestations have their highest
end and terminal point in the Rarus
claim. There are certain Slopes in the
Michael Dewitt ground which have
been called the Bryan and Mckinley
slopes, and the windlass stope on the
$50 and No. II drift of the 400. All
these are situated in the Rarus lode or
zone, and If continued doubtless the
slopes viii be connected by square set
work. The Free Milling raise exhibits
the lode throughout it's entire height
and shows the hanging wall of the lode
The Batterman raise follows the hang
Ing fall stringer or streak, in my opin-
ion. and it plays out near the top of the
raise. The cross-cut on the 600 con-
Meeting the Michael Dewitt or Snohom-
ish raise shows the lode On the $50
level is a drift which exhibits the foot
wall. The workings generally to the
south exhibit the hanging wall and
those working to the north the foot
wall, with the exceptions of the 600
foot cross-cut and the 500. The bulk
of the workings and all the Slopes are
in this great lode or zone
At this point this case was contn-
ued until this morning.
