one Of that class. I do not recall making
the statement that those three connecting
veins constitute the Rarus lode at the
east"
Are they the three particular veins,
lodes or veins that constitute the Rarus
lode?"
mo, not exactly. I nave stated that
there were three particular veins or lodes
in the west end Of the Johnstown claim,
and have traced them to a connection or
crossing of the l.arus."
II o ask you whether or not those
are the three particular veins that you
say constitute the Rarus lode at the east
eud?'
mo. sir; the Rarus lode itself is a lode
extending from the west end line of the
Johnstown claim to the east end line
But 0 said that the Rarus. after
it reaches a certain point east, is joined
with the JohnstOwn discOery and what
you call the north connecting lode"
Certainly. The north connecting lode
joins the Rarus lode at a certain point,
and the Johnstown either crosses or be-
comes identified with the Rarus lode at
another certain point"
Now, that is what 1 want to o
Do those three lodes east of a certain
point lose their identity before or after
they get to Section X SO that you can
no longer speak of them as veins?'
mo, sir. The connecting vein has no
identity after it's connection with the
Rarus lode. The Johnstown vein may be
followed, crossing diagonally through the
characterized as identified with the
Rarus from the point of juncture east
ward. 1t can be traced clear through the
Johnstown. / believe that particular
vein or ore streak can be traced. In my
evidence in chief I e~ndeavored to trace
it as far as l ould."
"Well, you did. Did you not?"
Eyes, sir. 1 think I did"
Looking at your model, does it show
on the east end that you are working
any mani lines or channels of ore Veins?"
II believe it does?"
How many"
"At least four"
"How far apart at this end are those
four channeis?"
Probably l should have said five chan
nels. instead of four. The first one is the
foot wall, and 10 feet south we have an
other known as the diagonal vein. About
IS feet further south we have another,
sometimes spoken Of as the middle vein,
while still further south, about SIS feet,
we have the Winlass vein. Then 120 feet
south we have the fiat vein."
Are those veins in fissures?"
II dom see how they would get into
the ground if they were not fissures."
'Then they are not in assures that are
within the limits of what you are pleased
to term the Rarus lode?"
section A l have already stated
that l was not prepared to say that those
limits embraced or We're embraced with
in the one lode. The flat vein, as l said,
at that particular section, may have made
a separation from the Rarus lode toward
he surface. / am not prepared to say
whether it has or not, but, with that res
ervation, why, they are within that
space"
At this stage in the proceedings some
reference was made by Mr.. Patterson to
testimony given by Mr.. Macfarlane at a
former trial had in the federal court, but
it met with an objection from Mr.. Nc
Hatton. 1t related to ground not in con-
troversy in this action.
The three veins of these claims, the
witness said, constituted the ledge pass
ing through the properties named. In
speaking of the transverse assures, Mr..
Macfarlane aid they might properly be
termed faults, which meant a displace-
ment Of the walls. If the transverse ifs
sure had occurred before liberalization
it would not be called a fault. He had so
stated on direct examination.
The ease will not be taken up again
until Monday.
