under charge of bailifIs. The attorneys
in the case were glad enough for little
rest, but spent most of their time in
making preparation for another week
of hard work The stenographers really
needed some extra time to catch up the
work of transcribing their notes. The
detectives however, didn't take any day
off They were buster than ever.
The direct examination of James Mac
Farlane was resumed yesterday morn
ing and finished. The cross examina-
ton, however, had not progressed very
far when court adjourned until 10 O'Clock
Monday morning. Mr.. MacFarlane ex-
hibited a number of cross-sections,
showing various parts of the Rarus and
Michael Dewitt claims. Other cross-sec
tions showed the Mckinley and Bryan
Slopes. The witness said that, as rule,
there is naturalization, but not pay ore
in the oxydiZed portion of the Rarus.
The sulphide ores are reached at about
a depth of 450 feet. Some sulphide is to
be seen as high up as the $50. The
Michael Dewitt shaft, he said, follows
mineralized streak which crosses the
other streaks of the zone.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Mac
Farlane was conducted by Mr.. Forbls
His first question was.
You have stated that this is a zone
rather than a vein. What do you mean
by zone?
Il mean a section of country more or
less fractured, the fractures following a
certain parallelism and close enough
and interlacing enough to be character
lied as a zone rather than single vein.
Wouldn't two people be very likely
to disagree as to the limits of zone?'
They should not
You only show two main streaks in

say they constitute a zone instead of
| being separate veins?"
They are joined by many small
| streaks dipping in between Them

Yes, but there are small streaks

What is the character of the ma
| terial between the streaks?"
| 1T is quartz and granite-hardly to
be characterized as ore"
What is the character of the ground
| south of the zone?'
Il consider it as in the hanging wall
! country"
How does it differ from what is in
| the zone?"
Some of the material in the zone is
/ the same. The material in the zone runs
/ all the way from high naturalization to
unaltered granite
Isn't the ground exactly the same?''
NO although there is in the zone, as
| say, some unaltered granite"
rs there any difference between the
quality of material 105 feet north of the
hanging wall and in the Michael Dewitt
shaft, south of that WALTZ

There is one well-defined streak be

What development is there to show

| Simply a cross-cut."
How wide is this streak2"
Eight to 10 inches as shown in TIL
cross-cut."
What is the distance from this streal
to the dividing line between the Michae

Five or six feet

There are other small streaks, blu

AT the request of Mr.. Forbis the wit
ness marked two other streaks at point
indicated by notes in his notebook.
What is the width of these streaks !?
Probably IL inches EACH

There are four other quartz seam

inches in width

say are about II inches in width
Because this one alone shows tn

About a year ago
How far had development proceede
when you began work in the Michat

The only development then was tn
Free Milling raise. which had been dc

The slopes had been made2"
Yes, | believe the Mckinley an

ton then that they are now"
Nothing of consequence was dor
above the Free Milling raise?"
Il think not. Everything done snt
was for the purposes OF this contr'
