The witness then described as has

he gave number of definitions of n
lode, all of which in general agreed that
lode is mass of mineraized rock
lying between closely defined bounda>
RES and all evidently mineralized in the
same way, AT The same time and from
the same source The witness Then
went into particular and detailed de-
scription of the mine, showing by the
details why IL should all be considered
as one lode ar zone instead of being
considered a number of individual
veins
One of the definitions of lode, read
by the witness. was that of G $. Bat
terman given in the Drum Lummond
case. 1t is as follows:
Il maintain that this is a vein for
the reason that it is a mineral bearing
mass of rock with indefinite boundaries
which contains. in certain portions OF
its existence. large bodies of productive

is rock that is distinguishable in its
general character from the rocks
through which IL passes. The bound
aries or the vein are almost at all places
we'll defined. Generally speaking, the
rock within the vein itself partakes.
more or less. of the character of the
country through which ii has broken.
If it is broken through granite. the
mineral forms in granite: if broken
through porphyry, the ore will partake
OF It's pecuiarities: if through granite
and porphyry mixed. the characteris-
ties of each will appear in the ore"
The witness, after detailing the mine
and showing samples of the rock said
that from the foot wall to the hanging
wall. no plane could be cut without
passing through ore, and no meander-
ing plane could be dropped except
passing through ore. Judging from his
examination, it is all one lode and IL
would not be possible to separate the
south ore bodies from those to the
north or segregate them and form of
them distinct ore body with its apex
in the Michael Dewitt shaft.
The oss-examination of Mr. Robin
son began only few minutes before
the closing hour The witness was
called on to explain specifically the
hanging and the foot wall, so far as
he could judge of their positions In
h.aR -
ing wall. the witness said. Is not too
clearly defined. but as far as the de-
velopment goes. 1t appears to be the
hanging wall.
But suppose the developments show
that the hanging wall is not there that
1t is few hundred feet further south !
