There was a fine threshing of straw
in the big Pennsylvania mining case
yesterday in regard to the east and
west VEINS as they relate to the faults
and the veins between the faults. Clar-
ence King spent another day on the
stand under cross-examination, and he
seems to be booked for considerable
further examination. Mr.. Hughes took
him down the workings along both
faults from level to level and over
hauled every vein and streak that
showed it's head on either side, with
the object of ascertaining from him
whether or not the veins and streaks
We're developed up to the faults or cut
off at the faults and whether or not
there was ore opposite their ends in
side the faults. The evidence was to
the effect that there are many veins
and streakS that are not developed
up to the faults, some that are in OPP
position at the faults to ore inside the
faults and others that are cut off at
the faults. Mr.. King has been four
days on the witness stand, and over
two days under cross-examination.
At the opening of the case Mr. King
continued his testimony under cross
examination.
rs there any faulting in the east and
west veins?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
Il find evidence of shear motion"
said Mr.. King.
What is that? Please define it,"
II mean a parallel plating under COM
pressive strain"
The witness said that there is little
evidence of strain on the east series
of veins that would induce parallel
fractures. But on the west side there
are supplementary assures. These tis-
sures exist on both sides, but not so pro-
nouncedly on the east.
do you find any ore in any of the
veins in the country west of the west
fault that is rounded" asked Mr..
Hughes.
Il do not remember finding any, an
swered the witness.
Did you make any examination of
those veins in order to ascertain if
rounded ore existed in them?"
Il examined the veins. Yes, sir. I
make it point to keep my eyes open
at all times"
did you examine the vein on the
$50 level at a point from 100 feet to $50
feet west of the west fault?"
The witness explained that this To-
cality was not open to inspection when
he made his examination.
''Is it not true that this rounded ma
terial is found east of the east fault
on the $50 level?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
'In the north vein on the $50 level?"
asked the witness.
Eyes, sir
mo sir; find none of it there"
"That ground is open, is it not?"
partly"
''Have you found this rounded mate
rial anywhere outside of the faults?"
mo, sir
HAS your examination been of such
character that you can state that it
does not exist outside the faults?"
mo. sir I would not say that"
The witness next described where ore
within the interfault area and ore out
side of it oppose each other at the fault
walls. One place is on the 30 level, and
he pointed it out on the map. He said
that there is vein that comes up TO
the east fault on the outside, and that
it is stopped by the clay seam. On the
other side of the clay seam, in the inter
fault ground. there is an ore body close
to ore abutting against the clay seam.
What is the width of the vein west
of the west fault?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
About IA inches, I should say an
swered the witness.
Are both walls exposed?"
Il think so. But I am not sure"
Where is the other place where ore
is opposed to ore at the west fault?"
"On the 600 level
The witness described a small east
and west vein on the 900 level between
the west fault and supplemental fault
west of the west fault. Beyond the
latter fault to the west is the No. s
Pennsylvania vein The little vein and
the No. s are relatively displaced one
from the other at the points where they
approach Is feet the witness said.
DO you recognize these veins as dis
