open SO that all the conditions in the
ground can be seen precisely" said the
witness. THE fiat ore body can be
seen sufficiently at one point so that
it can be seen to be fat
The witness could not get In to take
measurement, but he was able to
note the conditions clearly.
On the 600 level there are places, he
said, where the seams seem to run
through the workings between the
faults, and there they appear fiat.
There is one place where is clearly
illustrated how the fiat ore body is ad-
joined and disconnected by interme-
date slips. The inclination of the
body is about 80 or 35 degrees.
On the 500 level there is a cross-cut
where the ore of the fiat ore body first
shows disjointed condition of the
Deposit it is shown here also as the vein
runs from east to west between the
faults.
On the 700 level the timbering is suf-
ticiently open so that a very fair ex-
animation can be made, the witness
said. The ore is broken into frag-
ments. There are two vertical veins
here, and the ore in them is also in
fragments. There are a couple of east
and west drifts in which strikes show
at the west, but in which there are no
streaks to the east
The witness said that the ore in the
extreme southerly drift between the
faults on the 700 level terminates at the
west under the sloping wall of the
west fault, and is last seen toward the
east in the drift at the east termina-
ton of the latter. which is probably
near the east fault
The most northerly drift on the 500
level runs west from shaft No. l east
of the faults to the east fault, and
thence west through the faulted area.
The witness said that there is nothing
like a continuous vein through the
drift between the faults.
The witness said that the scattered
ore bodies between the faults are, gen
orally, either vertical or approximately
fiat. Also he said that there is moth
ing to indicate that the scattered ore
bodies found in the drifts are confined
to the lines of the drifts.
Now, Mr.. Bulky, you have describ-
ed the east and west veins outside the
faults, the workings outside the faults,
the ore bodies between them and the
workings What do you say the coun-
try between the faults isl" asked Mir.
Patterson.

Il am miner" said Mr.. Bulky
However, in my opinion, the country
should be called a lode. If pros
pector should sink shaft and find
either fault, he would go down on it
and, finding the ore bodies extending
north and south, would locate his claim
on them in a north and south direction.
He would consider the faults the walls
of the lode. / would, therefore, call it
a north and south lode. | would To-

tween the faults is approximately cor

to observe, it is" said the witness.

ing from the outside on veins and pass

bodies within the faulted area"
They do not on the 100 and 800 levels,
but they might at different points ris-
ing in height as you go north on other
levels, just as the vertical veins on the
outside happened to come opposite the
fiat vein inside"
rs there any continuity or identity
between the veins east and west of the
faults and the ore. bodies between?'
