rs StODE0 through. 1hcre was
about the same class of ore on each
side of the fault. As a miner the wit
ness pronounced that all the stringers
or veins form one lode or zone All
the stringers and streaks are connect
ed. In depth the two main streaks
ONE together. They are the same at
the 800.
Mr. Forbis conducted the cross-ex-
animation of Mr.. McHenry. To him
the witness said that there are two
raises from the 500 to the 700, At the
500 the two north and south streaks
seem to have united. But no develop
ment had been done to show just where
they united. The north Mckinley
seems TO have disappeared or combined
and only the south Mckinley appears
at the 500. The witness denied that
there are separate and distinct streaks
at the 500.
Between the east and west faults the
witness said that the slopes are fiatter
than they are to the east but about the
same as they are to the west.
Is there not decided change in
passing over that fault seam
Not much, no."
Didn't the fault cause the change? ?"
1T may have just loosened the
ground little, that is ALL"
Doesn't the fault change the condi-
tions of the veins at ALP
Not to amount to anything
rs the vein just the same one side
as the other of the fault?'
Pretty much the same"
No change in strike or dip?'
Just a little in dip"
Isn't the vein beyond the fault seam
an entirely different vein from that TO
the east?'
mo, it is the same vein.'
What is the change in the dipo"
"A little fiatter within the fault"
Then the vein is broken, is it not?''
No"
You call it the same fault with a
different dip?"
Yes"
DO you remember of an upraise
over here from the DEWITT"
Il remember the plaintiffs started
one but didn't like ii and quit, so we
finished it,"
What did you find there?f'
We cut right through the fault
What have you to say as to the
Michael Dewitt raise?"
1T is raised on ore to the 450 level.
We are now developing from the top
of the sulphide ore to where the oxy-
died ore comes III"
Isn't it a fact that the Michael Dew
lit and Free Milling raise are almost
They are nearly So"
You have traced the same vein from
the Free Milling vein along the $50 level
TO a point 30 feet north of the Michael
Dewitt raise?"
we followed a vein over there"
Then you admit that the 250-foot
level is the apex of the ore from which
these slopes were made?"
Il think that is So
On redirect examination the witness
said that from the 500 two up-raises
were made from the same body of ore.
and one of them reached to the North
Mckinley and the other to the South
Mckinley slopes, showing that the two
ore bodies at the 700 had become the
same at the 500
M. +. Kennedy then took the stand
and was examined by Governor Smith

of which time he worked IA years in
Butte He had examined the Rarus
mine but never worked there. He ex-
amined II about four weeks. At the $50
FOOT level he saw the footwall at the
east end line crosscut. He also found Il
on the $50 where ii is developed quite
ways. At the Pennsylvania shaft
and crosscut he saw the hanging wall

side of the shaft He examined the
lower workings of the mine. At the 450-
loot level he found large slopes He
placed the hanging wall at about the
foot of the Free Milling raise. The
country between the points he designat-
ed as the foot and hanging walls. was

three lines of slopes connected by a
of diagonal and vertical seams
Ct ore. He had not counted the num-
Der of seams. They vary from two or
three inches to a couple of feet He
saw the faults or slips but could see no
displacement of ore caused by them
The Free Milling raise goes through
both faults. Raise 102 and the Kemp
sey raise 60 through one of them. Ii is
stopped through the fault on the Kemp
ssy raise. From his examination of the
mine the witness considered the mine
one large lode rather than several dis
tinct veins The witness had worked
in the Pacific, Park, Gray Rock and
other mines The Pacific mine has a
large lead. but the body of ore is not
so large as in the Rarus. 1t is more
together. not scattered so much At one
place in the Pacific the width is II feet
between the walls. II is not unusual in
Butte to have these wide zones. The
footwall or hanging wall rock contains
black mica, which is not found in the
lead.
How long did you work in the Pa
cific?" asked Mr.. Forbes on cross-ex-
animation.
Eight years"
Where did you find the lode 127 feet |
w.de?"
AT the s0o-foot level. inclined shaft"
What is the width above the 3002"
Il never measured it,
What do you think 1t is?"
About so or 30 feet
What is it below the 3o09"
Il was never down below there"
Wasn't this unusual width at the 900 /
caused by a fault which slipped the +
body of ore and doubled its width at I
that point ?"
Il never saw a fault there"
Hadn't you heard there was one /
there"
Il heard there were some people put
n fault there a few years ago
Wasn't it done by the people you +
were working for?"
Il don't know about that "
They slipped in a fault on you, I
iidn't they"
1t looked some like it,
