Granite. except where there is
system of parallel assures"
Then when you go west, is not the
ground all mineralized only little?'
Not all the way. There are some
assures with ore"
The witness stated that the north
connecting drift becomes individualiEed
at the east end and is separated from
the Rarus and Johnstown lodges by
wide. barren granite area. Asked how
he knew the granite here was barren,
he said that it is easy to distinguish
the mineraliZed from the barren va
riety of granite, though the lines OF
demarkation are not always clear. lie
said that the per cent of copper inn
pregnation necessary to bring granite
within the term is ore giving an ap-
probable assay. andsit might be one
per cent, or more or less. There is no
more clearly defined division between
the two kinds of granite than between
night and day but they can be dis
tinguished apart just as can night ana
day. Mr.. Patterson said they We're
not discussing night and day, and that
while Mr.. Palmer might be able to tell
the two formations apart, he should
like to know the exact per cent of cop
per in mineralized granite. He re-
marked he could not go back and &C
auire expert knowledge on such sub
jects. and Mr.. Palmer agreed that 1t
little late for that. Mr.. Palmer could
not give the exact per cent. however.
The witness did not include the area
of non mineraliZed granite specified as
being within the Rarus and Johnstown
lode. but admitted that If it were mill
eralized it might be included. He
stated that the naturalization or non
naturalization of ground determined
whether 1t was to be included or ex-
cluded from lode.
Then if this barren ground were
mineralized 1t would be included in the
lode. would it not?" asked Mr. Pat
terson.
1T might be-" answered ldr. Palmer.
The witness said that the workings
and drifts on the 400, $50. 500, 500 and
700 levels are run on number OF
different assures and jump about in the
ore.
He traced the hanging wall of the
lode on the $50 level through the work
ings to raise q and beyond to point
on plat D on the glass model. From
that point there are several veins.
The witness said the hanging wall
runs along the south drift, on the 450
level, to the east beyond plate d. 1t
runs from the extreme west end of the
south drift from plate F to plate ID, on
line of the level. On the 500 level 1t
runs in the south drift from plate A
to plate G.
Would the hanging wall, as de-
scribed by you on the various levels,
follow the same plane east and west
between the transverse fissures?" ask
ed Mr.. Patterson.
1.-THE limit of naturalization lies far
Their to the south, between the faults
than on either side of them; the ore
running east and west between them
extends farther to the SOUTH" answered
the witness.
How much farther?''
mot very much"
Have you reached the limit of the
lode to the SOUTH"
yes"
How do you know?'
"A1l appearances. indicate it,"
rs it all one lode at the east end OF
the model"
YES"
What's the width of the lode at the
east end?"
About $50 feet
THAT includes the apex of the Johns.

Meeting veins on the surface?"
Yes" ..a.
