The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-30

What evidences of crossing in the
Berkeley vein do you find on the S5t
Snohomish level?''
I believe there is a crossing there
but the condition of the ground makes
1t difficult to demonstrate it,
is there any working where the
Berkeley vein apexes?"
Yes, sir; it appears in the raise d.
rectly over the drift No. 60 on the
Michael Dewitt so level"
The witness said that there are three
distinct fault planes in raise No. "a
Between the faults IN this neighbor-
hood one working passes through seven
distinct bodies of different character on
its way to the surface.
The witness described the apex OF the
Berkeley VEIN
What is the largest ore body be-
tween the faults?" asked Mr.. Patterson.
The one known as the fiat ore body.
1t is the most southerly ore body be-
tween the faults said Mr.. Akers. I'm
some respects it is a ghost"
You are speaking about the spiritual
part now said Mr. Hughes.
As vein, / grant you 1T is spiritual,
but as an ore body it is material, -
quickly replied the witness.
Mr.. Akers described the ore bodies be-
tween the faults, and said that the ore

were stopped to a great extent. Asked
to give the various dimensions of the
ore deposit entire between the faults,
he said that the north and south dimen-
sion on the dip from the $50 to the 800
level is 460 feet. The width, not on a
horizontal plane, is $50 feet on the 500
level and so feet on the 210, tapering
from one to the other level.
rs it one ore body or a NUMBER"
asked Mr. Patterson.
II think it is number" said the
witness.
And they were part of what orig
inally?"
"A part of the east and west veins
cut by the faults, but of what particu-
lar veins I don't know"
Can you take any segment of ore
between the faults and say it was part
of any vein outsider"
II tried. but 1 failed"
DO you think it possible to do that"
mo, sir: don't think So
The court asked the witness to state
the width Of the ground between the
faults at the surface and on the lowest
level
The witness took measurements on
the model, and told the court that the
width is 210 feet at the south end and
$50 feet at the north end on the lowest
level and IL feet at the south, IA Ieer
at north and 40 feet in the middle on
the surface.
A copy of the plaintiffs cross-section
K map was hung up. The broad red
bands on the map represented veins
from the surface downward, and the
black lines the workings in the same
form.
without wishing to say anything
unksnd or to criticise my fellow engi-
neers, must say that the privilege of
projection has been very freely exer-
cised in this map and a great deal of
free hand drawing has been done on
it." said Mr.. Akers.
while the workings, represented by
the blank lines, are vertical, the beau
tiful red bands showing the veins are
diagonal, you will notice." he added.
well, that is all right if the veins
are there" said Mr.. Patterson.
But they are not there, sir: they are
not there. There is no warrant at all for
the outlines of the veins shown here
in many places, and in all cases they
are magnified greatly. They produce
an entirely incorrect impression of the
real conditions"
OF three red streaks. coming down
a hundred feet or so, the witness said
that two were mere subsidiary frac-
ture planes, unworthy of being digni-
