half of the time he put in at the mine.
The witness said that for a distance of
$50 feet from the west end line of the
Rarus the only surface indication of the
Johnstown vein is slight discoloration
in one cut made across the vein.
That is the only Indication" he said,
unless you consider the fact that the
450-foot level is within the surface of
the Rarus.'
we will come to the $50 level later"
said Mr. Patterson.
At a distance of $50 feet from the
west end line is found the first mineral
lied assure on the vein. The witness
said he believed the Johnstown and
Rarus veins crossed each other in the
B., A. & p. railway cut at about the
middle of the Rarus claim. although the
crossing was not visible on the surface.
On the surface plan map the continue
ton of the Johnstown vein after it
crosses the Rarus vein appears to be
the extension of what is known as the
north connecting vein, but the wit
ness said it only appeared to be and
was not in fact.
Then do l understand that you wish
this court to understand that the map
does not correctly represent the loca
tons of the apices?' asked Mr.. Patter
son.
NO sir: what ! am trying to do
is to make you understand that the
map is simply a surface tracing"
The witness was asked if he had
any personal knowledge of the discov
cry shaft of the Johnstown
II was not the locator of the claim,
sir" was the answer.
II simply ask you if you have any
knowledge of the discovery shaft"
There is a big dump a. that point,
but the discovery shaft is marked on
the map and | presume it is correctly
marked
Yes. presume so. too, but have you
any personal knowledge of it's loca-
tom"
mo. sir"
The witness was asked where the
first surface connection was made on
the Johnstown vein, and he said the
first connection east of the Johnstown
discovery shaft was in what is known
as the dry room raise.
What is the distance from the so
called Johnstown discovery shaft to the
dry room raise?'
Il find it to be $50 feet"
And is that raise on the Johnstown
discovery VEIN
mo, sir; the Johnstown vein is still
farther NORTH
Then will you please tell me where
the nearest surface connection from
the discovery shaft is?"
AT tn No. shaft at the southeast
corner of the Johnstown claim
What is the distance from that point
to the Johnstown discovery shaft?'
About LIPS feet"
Then for distance of 1925 feet
there are no surface connections on the
vein?"
mo, sir"
The witness said the apex was APP
proximated from the stopping on the
450-foot level, and from the fact that
drifting had been done eastward con-
on the same ore body.
What difference does it make as to
what apex connects with the stopings
as long as the stopings are within
the surface lines of the Rarus?" asked
the witness of Mr.. Patterson.
do you base all your conclusions On
he supposition that the stopping Is
within the surface lines of the Rarus?'
THAT is only a factor"
The witness walked up to Mr.. Pat
erson and with gestures argued with
he attorney the proposition that be-
cause the ore bodies and stopings on
he 450-foot level are within the sur
face lines of the Rarus and that he
apex is above in the same ground, that
t made no difference what particular
apex II was. The witness tried to il
