court adjourned yesterday afternoon.
1t has been mutually agreed by the at
torneys in the case of E. Rollins Morse
VS.. the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany that each side should be limited
10 Is experts, and each side will put on
the stand the full quota allowed. The
defendants yesterday concluded the ex-
animation of the second expert. finished
the third and started the fourth. The
ordinary witnesses are not included
among the experts and there is no linn

while the picture was taken.
At the opening of the morning ses-
sion Mr.. Freeland resumed his testi-
money. He describes five seams in the
zone and said he was satisfied they had
common origin, were formed at the
same time and were merely streaks of
one lode instead of being veins. They
are not parallel like distinct veins, but
are connected by diagonal seams and
ore bodies and interace. While some
of the streaks are parallel, they are
connected by diagonal streaks, and so
in his opinion had a common origin.
He said the zone is about magnetically
east and west parallel with the Rarus
side lines. The apex in its westward
course crosses the west end line of the
Johnstown lode. At the eastern end
of the property the apex is in the
Rarus and close to the south side line,
but near there crosses. The northern

from end to end. In his opinion, as a
mining man and an engineer, he con-
sidered the windlass stope on the 450
of the Michael Dewitt, the Bryan slopes
of the 600 and the Mckinley slopes.
are part of the Rarus lode and not
separate and distinct vein.
The cross examination was conduct
ed by r. II. Lindsay. The witness said
he was first in Butte in 1887 and re-
manned week examining several
mines He remembered having seen
some very broad veins in the Parrot,
which consisted of a number of ore
streaks with country rock in between.
He could not remember the depth,
however. and was unwilling to go into
details, as he took no notes. His visit
to the Parrot was only a friendly one.
The witness came here year ago at
the request of Mr.. Heinze to examine
the Rarus. After a weeks examina-
ton of the mine he formed the belief
that it was a broad zone instead of
separate veins. He did not remember
of having first talked with Mr.. Heinze
or anyone else about it. He had not
examined the discovery shaft or in
vestigated as to what the original To-
Gators found.
did you ever notice a little pond
beside the railroad cut along the Rarus
claim?' asked Mr.. Lindsay.
II never noticed it..
Suppose there were such a pond
there, wouldn't it account for the
dampness you mentioned along the
footwall in your direct examination?
1T would. if it were true. but: it is
not true. There is no pond there
The witness denied that there is 10
or IL feet of quartz to be plainly seen
in the 500 crosscut. He denied that the
drift from the 134-foot level follows
the same vein as the Snohomish up
raise.
Mr.. Lindsay questioned in regard TO
the porphyry. The witness said he
found porphyry at the bottom of the
52-foot shaft. There are no develop
ments to show how far it extended.
West of the fault he saw much por
phyry. There were several exhibitions
of it on the 500-foot level. The develop
ments are not sufficient to show a por-
phyry dyke.
Isn't it to be presumed that there
is a porphyry dyke here?" asked Mr..
Lindsay.
mo. That would be most violent
assumption"
why would it be most violent pre-
SUMPTION"
Because porphyry is an eruptive
rock. 1t doesn't have to be in any par
ticular place. There are many differ
ent exhibitions of porphyry. I saw
in hn J. a rrie
is not possible to connect them all into
one dyke or mass of porphyry. There
are a number of different masses of it.
1t would not be proper to deduce that
any one of them is a dyke or that they
all came from one dyke"
But between the porphyry west of
the fault and that in the Harris e
Lloyd tunnel there are not any of these
faults, are there?"
IF by faults you mean the clay
seams. there are several of them"
The witness was next asked:
How far have you traced the out
crop of this broad zone?"
"On the Rarus and Johnstown
claims.
You haven't traced it to the Ana

II have not
What are you smiling about?'
II am not smiling"

The witness said he had not traced
the lode to the st. Lawrence.
rs ii not necessary that mining ex
pert should examine the whole vein in
order to testify authoritatively in such
a case as this?'
He might wish to, but it is not
necessary
But in order to establish the broad
zone theory. isn't 1t necessary to trace
the zone through its entire extent?"
II don't consider il necessary TO fol-
low the zone to Anaconda and st. Law
renee ground for the purposes of this
case"
Isn't it a fact that YOU do not tes-
tify here as to the full extent of the
zone because YOU have been retained
to testify in another case that is to
come up where the broad zone theory
is denied and you are to testify on the
