Then you only produce samples
when ordered tor"
Yes, sir. We sampled on the 800
cross-cut just Is We run every day
during the process of development. We
didn't keep the assays"
From your memory, what do you
think was the result"
Can't tell"
Did it carry. anything"
Don't remember. l think some did"
You can give no estimate of these
assays?"
NO"
Isn't it a fact hat you found moth
ing and were therefore ordered to
quit? ?"
Il know nothing about that"
What material is this cross-cut run
through"
Ore"
Did you ship any?"
Yes"
Then you did mine ore there?"
Yes"
But you can't give any estimate of
what IL ~assayed?'
II can't remember them"

style of cross-examination or the
ground that the witness was not an
expert. MIR. Thomas replied that he
was asking nothing but what the fore
man of the mine ought to know. The
witness said that this cross-cut had not
found a foot wall inc is still in vein
matter.

Il couldn't give any estimate"
Are the 900 and 100 cross-cuts west
or east of the 500 cross-cut?"
81 think a little west of it,"
How deep is the shaft Of the Co.

1T is 1.315 feet"
The plaintiffs rested their case here,
stating. however, that they might nav
some rebuttal testimony. The defend
ants put up a map inc a glass model
of the workings. Their first witness
was Maurice Stockler, who testified to
the map of the Never Sweat and Colusa
PARROT workings he had made as OBJ
solutely correct.
Mr.. McGie. mining engineer, then
testified. He had surveyed in the Ana
cOnda and Colusa Parrot down to the
1000. He a surveyed and plated and

August Christian, mining engineer,
employed by the Anaconda company,
said the Never Sweat shaft was sunk
in 1892. There was a little shaft before
that about $50 or 300 feet deep. The
timbers We're taken out and the shat
enlarged. The old shaft became a part
of the present shaft. The workings in
the mine ave their apex i'm the Ana

the side lines. The dip OF the Anaconda
vein is south % degrees. The average
width of the Slopes of the Anaconda
vein west of the Never Sweat shaft
is 10 to 40 and so feet. To the east it
is wider. There is only one connection
between the Anaconda and Colusa Par
rot workings, which is on the ma
conda 900. which is the same as the Co
lusa Parrot 800. The dip of the Never
Sweat vein from the 800 to the 400 is 81
degrees. From the 800 to the 1400 it is
20 degrees. This indicates a straight
ening rather tina a fiattening of the
vein. The slopes of the Colusa Parrot
at the 100 have extended so feet south
of the south side line. The Colusa
Parrot claim is lis feet wider beside the
Macauber. The witness said the vein
of the Colusa Parrot. according to the
plaintiffs claim, reckoning from these

in search of the foot wall, is 2S5 feet.
On the 900 it is lbs feet. The witness
said hat when enjoined by the court
he was at the 1100-fot level and 20 feet
inside the plaintiffs lines. At the 1OSa
he was in 40 feet. and at the 1900 he was
i'm 65 feet at one place and 40 at the
other. On the 1900 he was In just the
width of the Parks Parrot. and in the
other place about 32 or 80 feet deep.

surface, and all the workings are on
this vein, having the outcrop in the
Anaconda claim. The drift on the 1900
shows the foot wall very plain.
Mr.. Christian was cross-examined by
Mr.. Corbett. The dip of the Anaconda
and the Colusa Parrot is practically the
same below the 300. Above the 300 the
Anaconda vein is fiattened so thai il
the dip did not change the veins would
eventually meet. Below the 800 the
two lodges are about $50 feet apart.
Their closest point Of approach below
the 900 is about that. He had instructed
Mr.. ellis to stop stopping ore i'm the
disputed ground under instructions
from the Anaconda company. The
witness did not profess to know to
which company the ore belongs. The
witness said he had seen slopes 100
feet wide. The Never Sweat vein will

ing to foot, inc in some places wider.
He did not know how wide the Colu
Parrot vein Is n had never hunted
for any foot wall of it. To the Never
Sweat vein there is a hanging and foot
wall streak. Between these two streaks
is some very low grade ore. II is not
country rock. He had never looked for
any apex on the Never Sweat. The
horse of waste on the 1000 between the
foot wall n hanging wall streaks
varies from IL to 40 feet wide. The
two streaks constitute one vein. al
though this low grade material is be-
tween. Both streaks are connected on
h east and on the west with the main
ore body. The witness pointed out
where they came together on the 500
and 800 at the west and on the east at
the 900. 500. 100 and 500, where IL is
stopped clear across. The horse of waste
disappears at these places and becomes
