fined the east and west veins and the
faults. He said that the faults cut off
the east and west veins. The veins
have different strikes and dips Some
times, by means of junction. they
take form resembling a sawbuck
said the witness.
please state the sequence of events,
Mr.. Braden, with reference to the for
nations in the ground" said Mr.. Pat
terson.
First there was granite; then the
porphyry dyke cut the granite; then
the east and west veins cut the gran
lite and the porphyry dyke; then the
faults cut the granite, the porphyry
dyke and the east and west VEINS" -aaid
the witness.
Did you examine the surface of the
ground to determine the position of
the apices of the veins?'
Yes. SIR"
please describe the apices as you
found them, in general way"
THE country is divided into three
parts by the disconnection of the veins.
One part Is east of the faults, one part
west of them and one part between.
l will take up the veins in the west
part first"
Mr. Braden proceeded to trace the
apex of the north connecting vein by
means of the defendants apex map,
workings in which the apex is dis
closed, and giving the distances be-
tween these workings He also pointed
out the projected parts of the dyke
and gave the distances between the
claim lines and the apex at different
points. His evidence in this part did
not differ from that of the preceding
witness for the defendant.
He agreed with them that the north
connecting vein ends on the east at
the west fault, and that the apex map
truthfully represents the course of the
apex.
DO you find the north connecting
vein extending beyond the west fault?'
asked Mr.. Patterson.
NO sir" said the witness.
The testimony of the witness con-
corning the apex Of the south vein
was of a similar character. The name
less vein apex came next
Did you find the nameless veins
apex connecting with any vein below
the surface?" asked Mr. Patterson.
mo, sir" said the witness.
DO you know what vein this apex
belongs tor"
mo, sir
Mr.. Hughes objected in behalf of the
plaintiff, to the witness stating any
thing that was told to him about the
Johnstown discovery point, and the OBJ
JecllOR was sustained Inc WllIleSS ldu
heard Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Bulky tes-
tify to the site of the point, however
and he said that there is no shaft nor
other working at the point.
Next the No. vein was traced from
the surface down No. raise to where
it passes out of the raise at the third
level. This is at the west end of the
ground. The witness said that there
is vein underground in the easterly
part of the ground that may be part
of the No. 8 vein. The two ore bodies
are not connected by workings.
The witness said that the apex Of
Pennsylvania vein No. ? is disclosed by
actual workings.
Mr.. Braden went over the south vein
from the surface down through the
workings to it's deepest part.
Where does the south vein termi-
nate at the east?" asked Mr.. Patterson
AT the west fault. 1t is cut off by
the fault" said the witness.
After this the No. vein was sub
jected to the tracing process through
all of it's known ramif1cations,
The tendency of this vein is to split,
the witness said. 1t has a number of
branches. The width of the apex of
this vein at the surface is about 80
feet. Down at the Lloyd tunnel it be-
