| The defendants in the great mining
/ case sent one of their change pitchers
| to the box yesterday in the person of
/ Governor Smith. who has been held in
reserve up to this time. Pitchers Nc
Hatton and Corbett took day off and
| the crack twirler. Vaile also rested
most of the day, but relieved Smith the
| later part of the afternoon. Forbis did
| all the pitching for the plaintiffs yes
| terday. his deceptive curves continuing
| to puzzle some of the witnesses. while
| others batted him with ease. Mr.. For
bis seemed to have a little too much
| box work to do yesterday. but Mr..
Lindsay was sick and could not relieve
him. Mr.. Marshall has not been in the
box since Heinze batted to his pitching
and Judge Dewitt is still held in re-
serve by the plaintiffs.
The jury seemed to be feeling better
yesterday, and sang once more after
several days of sulking. The duicet
strains of Annie Rooney" greeted the
visitors to the court room at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, and at noon John
browns Body was poured forth in
soul-stirring accents, the jury appar-
entity not getting on to the significance
of the song as reminder that they
may all possibly be Wondering in the
grave DeIofe the Dig mining suit is
brought to termination.
The defendants yesterday evening had
reached No. of their Is expert wit
nesseS, and he will be cross-examined
to-day. Owing to the illness of Attor-
ney Lindsay, the cross-examination of
7. E. Dunstan, which had been begun
by Mr.. Lindsay Tuesday, was post
poned. Mr.. Dunstan may be further
cross examined when Mr.. Lindsays
pitching arm gets into condition once
more
I. e. Dunstan was on the stand yes
terday morning for redirect and fur
ther cross examination and made few
notifications to statements he had
made the previous day.

tunnel No. 3. In a distance of few
feet from the portal is the footwal very
distinct. Immediately adjoining that is
a well defined vein of ore standing on
the top of dip. / pass through this tun-
mel all the way on vein material to the |
face.
Under ground examined particular |
ly the 450-foot level, where / spent most |
of my time. I also examined the 500. |
500 and 700-foot levels. I determined |
the footwall foot level. l found it in a |
little cross-cut north of No. l shaft |
also find the footwail east of the shaft, |
exposed on the level for a distance of |
200 feet. It is very distinct footwall. |
1t is on the proper pitch of the lode; it |
is covered with smooth tale or clay and |
1t carries the water of the mine. South |
of the footwall on the 450-foot level the |
country is all mineralized to between the |
10th and 18th SETS Here is a distinct |
ore in all directions, dipping to the |
south and bed seams dipping to the |
north. Bed seams are contrary to |
seams which dip to the south and have
sharper dip. They cut right through
the general pitch of the lode. l counted |
36 different stringers of ore and four
bed seams. Some of the stringers were
large. They vary from half an inch to a
foot. This is all in the sulphide region
of the 450.
"On the $780, in company with Mr..
Bowman, counted nine stringers south
of No. 2 shaft. The largest of these
stringers is about four feet in width. /
count IS stringers from the footwall
to a point 45 feet south of the Michael
Dewitt shaft. They range in size from
two inches to four feet One is really
five feet of mineralized ore.
AT the surface workings at the east
end | determined the hanging wall to
be Is PAGES south of the Michael Dewitt
shaft. A drift is driven on the hang
ing wall channel of ore. There is an up
raise from there on the same channel
of ore. West the hanging wall / de-
termined to be in a little cross-cut be-
tween sections A and r. near the line of

shown on the $50 south of the Michael
