The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-13

maps, as to the survey points, he knew
TO be correct, however
In his recroSS-examination he said
that the surveyor could have put in
sketches where he pleased and that he
would not have been able to tell any
thing about them. The survey points,
| as to courses and distances, would
check out, however.
After this the expert witness, Lee
Hayes, was recalled and went on with
his evidence.
Mr.. Hayes gave the distances between
the east and west faults at different
points on some of the levels. He said
that, on the 50-foot level, the faults are
IS feet apart at the north end of their
strike and 16, 40 and so feet apart at
points farther south. They are IA feet
apart on the surface, he said On the
$50 level of the Rarus they are SO feet
apart: on the 210 Michael Dewitt level,
at the bottom of the shaft, 81 feet apart
and farther north SO feet.
The witness testified that there had
been a movement of the east and west
veins. This is true because the veins
are intercepted and cut off. There are
places where is indicated a dragging
movement of the veins to the north.
The porphyry dyke on the 50-foot level
shows the displacement plainly. East
and west of the faults on this level are
bodies of porphyry.
connected and parts of one dyke. The
displacement has thrown the body west
of the faults 100 feet farther north than
that east of the faults. The position of
the bodies indicates the amount of the
throw to the NORTH said Mr.. Hayes.
He said that the ground between the
faults is much broken.
AS you proceed downward the brok
en- condition continues; the rock is
much more broken between the faults
than west or east of then," said the
witness.
He said that between the faults are
number of ore bodies. These bodies
were originally part of the veins either
east or west of the faults. The fault
ing caused the veins between the faults
to be dragged. There are numerous clay
slips and sub-faults there.
On the 50-foot level the ore bodies are
SO broken that there is no vein con-
| tinuity there, though there are some
detached streaks.
The throw of the ground was to the
north, as indicated by the marks of
| dragging.
The witness thought there was some
vertical displacement, but could not say
| positively. The displacement described
| was horizontal.
What would be the effect of the dis
| placement described upon the relative
| positions of the veins?" asked Mr.. Seal
| lon.
1.-The veins east of the faults would be
| south of those east of the faults an
| swered Mr.. Hayes.
The identity of the veins had been
| completely lost by this displacement,
| said the witness.
| What do you say as to the Wndlass
vein, which is on the east side of the
| faults?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
| THE Windlass vein, being east of the
east fault, is about in it's original posi-
| ton, but the country west of the west
fault has been thrown to the north"
| said the witness.
within the area between the faults, on
| several maps.
| How do you suppose they come
there?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
| Il presume it is the same porphyry
found outside the faults, though dis
connected from it. There We're two
east and west dykes across the country
originally, which were disconnected and
displaced by the faults"
| The witness testified in detail 10 the
| displaced ore bodies on various levels
in the ground between the faults and
to the clay slips between them. He
showed by the maps that the ore bodies
in this area are thrown out of line
with the veins outside. He located
streaks, slips and punches of ore within
this area. The evidence in this connec-
ton, occupying some time, showed an
entire disagreement in position and dis
connection of structure between the ore
bodies within this area and the veins
without.
The witness testified as to the fiat
vein between the faults. He made a
drawing on blackboard showing its
position relative to certain drifts on
the 700 and 450 levels. The drawing
showed the fat ore body to be quite
fiat at the $50 level. The drawing also
showed how the Windlass vein lies with
respect to the fiat ore body on the 45C
level and the 700 level.
What lies between the end of the
flat ore body and the Windlass vein al
the 45O level?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
The east fault" said the witness
"State whether there is any junction
between the fiat ore body and the
Windlass vein at the 450 level
There is not. Both are distinct"
The witness indicated how the rela
tive angles at which the fiat ore body
and the Windlass vein dip by means
of two books, and said that at no poin
does the vein pass through the ore body
He said that other veins have simila
positions, relative to the fiat ore body
to that of the Windlass vein, as shown
upon other levels.
The next ore channel taken up wal
the north vein. Mr.. Hayes made an
other sketch upon the blackboard to il
lustrate the position and dip of thi
vein.
AT its west end the north vein come:
up to the east fault, is intercepted ant
cut off by the fault and is stopped UP t.
the fault" said the witness.
"Now, will you state whether thu
north vein is connected at it's west enc
with any other vein or ore body" sale
Mr.. Scallon.
No; it is not. 1t is separate and dis
tinct," was the answer.
The Windlass vein and the north vein
above the $50 level, are almost vertical
while the fiat ore body is not far from
fiat, on the dip, the witness stated. IL
held one book vertically and anothe
against it at a fiat angle to illustrat
the relative dips of the formations.
| Using the model and some pointers
the witness indicated that the Wind
lass vein dipped vertically and was Gu
off diagonally at its west end by tn
east fault, the lower end of the dag
