right angles to it's strike, and said that
under this definition the veins east OF
the east fault apex partly under the
east wall Of the fault on a diagonal
line dipping to the south.
After this the plaintiff was required
to describe the positions of the highest
parts of the sulphide ore bodies. Then
he named the eight places that he had
said there is ore on both sides OF one
fault or the other, beginning with the
600 level and going upward. He was
examined as to some other points, and
said that the ore was not found on
both sides.
Asked If it is not a rule that the
assures at an intersection are richly
mineralized, he said that the rule ap-
piled to gold and silver mines, but that
he could name an exception to 1t in
the disputed ground. He pointed out
the exception on the model.
The cross-examination ended, and the
redirect examination was taken up by
Mr.. Scallon.
The witness was asked IL he meant
intersections or functions in the mat
ter just spoken of, and he said that he
meant functions.
The witness was asked a number of
questions concerning the methods of
miners in connecting various workings.
Will you state the character of the
in the photograph introduced by Mr..
Hughes?" said Mr. Scallon.
Two-thirds Of the way up the rock
wall shown in the railroad cut the rock
is rock in place: the rock above is
wash. The first is a solid formation
that has never been displaced: the Sec
ond is loose, broken and has been
moved"
The witness said that he did not
r1 hn loln hat Hn
faults, running north and south. as
being different in any particular from
the ordinary east and west fissures.
He said that if there had been sec
ondary naturalization in the disputed
ground it would not change his opin-
ion as to the existence Of the north and
south lode.
What likelihood is there of orig
| inal mineral solutions putting scratches
| on rocks like those found on the fault
walls?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
None, l should think" said the wit
| ness.
rs that a habit of such solutions?"
"Not that know Of"
If the primary mineral solutions had
| come up in the faults, what effect would
| they have upon the pebbles and bould-
ers of granite in the faults?"
Il think they would alter the peb-
bles and boulders."
How do you find the conditions here
in the faults?"
Il do not find any evidences Of pri-
| mary naturalization in the faults"
Would the solutions mineralize some
! of the boulders and leave others?'
Il should not think that possible"
The re-cross examination began and
Mr.. Hughes said:
| rs not the north and south lode a
legal lode and not a geological or min
ers' lode?'
| Il don't think so. 1t may be so, but
that is not my opinion said the wit
| ness.
The fifth expert witness for the de-
fense, William A. Alzers, took the wit
ness stand. He said he Is 80 years old
| and that he has followed the profession
of mining engineer for IA years. He
| worked in the Butte mines and else
| where as miner. He was a student at
| Washington university and another
| college, taking a classical course. His
knowledge of mining and mining engi-
neering was acquired since he left col
| lege. Besides occupying many subordi-
nate positions, he was manager of a
smelling company in Butte and had
charge of all its business. He was al
one time manager of one Of the largest
silver mines at Telluride. Colo, and at
