The Cross Examination of Mr..
Macfarlane
COVERS SEVERAL DAYS
Maps and Cross-Sections Used at a
Former Trial Offered
In Evidence.

After a rest of two days, the Rarus-
Pennsylvania vein controversy was re-
sumed before Judge Clancy this morning,
with James Macfarlane on the stand for
cross-examination pose Notwith-
standin g the fact that he spent all Of
Thursday and Friday tracing the course
of the Rarus and Johnstown veins and
their arious ramifcations at the request
Of the attorneys for the defense, he was
not by any means short Of the class of
material desired. A feature of the ex-
animation today was an attempt on the
part Of the defendant to impeach the
witness by comparing typographical tes-
tlmony alleged to have been given by him
at a fo rmer trial involving the same issue
with that of the present difference of
opinion relative to the principal points
involv ed. The attempt was made by the
use of maps introduced by the defend
ants attorneys. These maps, it was
claimed, had been drawn by Mr.. Macfar-
lane for use at the former trial. When
mi red with the one in use in this
trial the defense claimed hat a discrep-
ancy existed between them, although they
were supposed to represent the same part
of the property. They were not permit
I'd to become a part Of the testimony.
Mr. Macfarlane, you spoke Of veins
at the railroad cut being a part of the
Rarus cein, which veins are they?'
asked Mr.. Patterson.
"There are at least six"
care they particular veins?"
"They are separated one from an
other

"Are they on the principal veins Of the
cut?''
mo; they are not"
WI at is the distance between the
outer side of the southern tunnel and the
outer side of the northern tunnel
About 60 or 70 feet. Between the
south and north vein, at the apex Of the
Rarus vein, there is a space Of 165 feet
Are there n surface workings at or
near the Johnstown discovery shaft?'
mo; I do not believe there are"
do you find at the surface there any
rock in placer"
mo, SIR. What is usually called rock

"How far from the surface is the vein
develop ed?'
ITO within 20 feet of the surface by a
raise
"How far beneath the surface at that
point is what you cal the '1oo-foot
level p
About 100 feet"
Have you located. at the west end
of the Youngstown, the vein by other
means than the discoloration of which
You spoke?"
"The re are quartz seams in the wash
A what point on the surface do you
first find the vein of what you call the
Johnstown discovery vein?'
TN the open cut abou 175 feet north
OF the southwest corner of the Rarus.'
During the past two or three years
has tn ere been anything save the debris
on the surface to determine the existence
of the YOUNGSTOWN vein? ?"
only the debris. I might add that
the exl stence of the vein has been DEM
The workings below show that as the
faults approach the surface they come
closer together"
A the former trial. did you testify as
to a cross section that was about the
same location as Section LIP"
"Ther re- was another section marked
L L.
Did you have a cross section known
as N N at that trial and gave testi-
mony concerning it?'
Il would not be sure Of it,"
Wei l., here is that cross section. Look
at it and see if you can locate it on the
map?''
