I'VE milled it,
Good milling ore?"
Yes

But it must have been since you

What have you done with the
money!"
Well. the ore didn't any more than
pay the cost of the development"
But you took 1t from the Michael
Dewitt ground and appropriated it to
your own use?"
Simply a matter of 20 or so tons
Very fine ore?"
We'll, fair

Start it up to-day" said Mr.. Vale
Il suppose you dug it all out?" asked
Mr. Forbis.
Il think there is some of it there yet"
About this Heinze raise. Did you
name it after YOURSELF"
i named ii after my brother. | OBJ
ject to having raises named after me-"
You only want ore bodies named for
you?''
That's it,"
rs it not true that all three of the
raises the defendants have made passed
through the fault before entering your
ground ?"
Il think they do
Don't you think you should have got
a raise outside of the faut?"
Considering the point in controversy
it seemed to me most important to show
through the fault we would meet with
no interruption of the ore bodies
You find the material between the
walls badly crushed. did you not?"
1T is IN place, unquestionably.'
''Of course
The assures are looser than they are
east of the fault, but a careful exam
nation shows that there are no more
assures than there are within the
fault"
But isn't it true that the ground
won't stand by itself between the faults
and has to be timbered?"
Il think no more so than to the east

Isn't the 800 all timbered between

Il think the whole drift is timbered.

4 think so, too. Particularly between |
the faults?'
Not more particularly"

IS the distance from the foot of the |
Corkscrew raise to the top of the Free

One hundred and twenty feet"
So you would have to cross-cut 100
feet?"
Yes, but the Corkscrew raise is at
the hanging wall, while the Free Milling
raise is in the middle of the vein
That closed Mr.. Heinze's examina-
