footwall to the north and four others
to the south and known as the dag
onal middle, Windlass and fiat veins.
Are these veins within tissures" ~
Il dont see how they could be in
the ground if they We're not"
DO you say they are all within what
YOU designate as the Rarus lode?'
AT the former trial, in the federal
court. did you not designate as a zone
what you now call lode?'
Il believe l sometimes referred to 1t
as a zone
Did you not invariably speak OF it as
a zone?''
Il think l did"
Now you carefully use the term lode;
will you please explain why you have
changed and now call it lode instead
of a zone?'
We'll, there seemed to be at the for
mer trial a great deal of objection to
the term zone on the part of the plant
ifs in that action, and l changed for
that reason / use the term lode in the
same sense"
Was it not agreed among you that 1t
would serve your purpose better to use
the term lode in this action?"
There has been no agreement that
/ know of"
Has there been no understanding be-
tween you?
Il know of none
We'll, the matter has been talked
about among you, has it not?'
"Oh, yes; for more than two years
there has been talk about the word
zone"
The witness was asked rs to the num-
Der and identity of the veins and fis-
sures in certain workings.
Would you say the two assures are
separate and distinct fissures?'
Originally they may have been sepa-
rate assures, but the naturalization be-
tween them has been so great that l
would consider them as one vein"
Mr.. Patterson repeated his question
and the witness answered it with a
long explanation.
I'm stay here all day, but I'll have
an answer to that question: said Mr.
Patterson, and the question was re-
peated.
The court instructed the witness to
answer the question, but Mr.. McHat-
ton and the witness both claimed that
it had been, and the court decided that
the question had been sufficiently an
Swered.
II suppose" said the court, you gen.
tlemen have heard the stories told
about witnesses that can't answer yes
or no--would not do 1t for their lives.
They have a way of getting around the
case. / have heard a great many funny
cases in court men of learning-col-
lege- bred men, too-they could not
make a straight talk to save them
selves; they would bring in a lot of
sequestrations and explanations. Now,
this man answers that and he brings
in a whole lot of talk with it There
is no sense in that. He might as well
say yes or no, but he says originally
it may have been separate, but now it
is not l think that explains it fairly
we'll"
In answer to other questions the wit
ness said that at section r, shown on
the map, ore is being mined from seven
assures, that is originally they were
seven assures, but now it is one ore
body owing to the naturalization of the
country rock between the assures. The
witness refused to admit that there
We're any distinct assures in the ground
now and Mr.. Patterson said he was
forced to give up in despair and would
cease trying to get a definite answer
from the witness.
You are assuming a condition that
doesn't exist" said the witness. You
won't admit that there is any miner
alization outside the assures"
There is no use in prolonging the
! discussion on that point" said Mr.. Pat
| terson. You have conquered
