HELD A SHORT SESSION
Geologist Clarence King Unable
to Be Present.
LAST EXPERT WITNESS
The Cross Examination of Mr. Janin Was
Very Brief-Convergence of the
East and West Veins
f.& the Point,

The Saturday session in the trial Of
the big Pennsylvania mining case was
brief This was due to the fact that
the eminent geologist, Clarence King,
who was to follow Louis Janin as the
eighth and last expert witness for the
defendant, was ill and was unable to go.
on the stand when Mr.. Janin finished
his evidence at half past II in the fore
noon.
Mr.. Janin's cross-examination was
exceedingly brief, lasting only four
hours. Most of this time was devoted
to questions relative to. the question Of.
whether the east and west veins con-
verge, and to the matter of the tdiago-
nal apexing of the veins under the east
wall of the east fault. Mr.. Janin said
| that If the veins crossed the areas out
side and between the faults, he should
not give the east series iagonal apexes
under the east fault wall, but horizon
tai apeXes on the surface. He positively,
characterized some sa implies submitted
to him by the PLAINTIFF s counsel the.day
before as dragged ore, though the day
previous he had withheld his opinion.
1t is expected that Mr.. King will be
on the stand on Monday morning, as
his illness is not regarded as serious.
U. s. Grant, professor Of geology
| in the Northwestern university of Illi-
| nois, took the witness stand and testi-
| fed to preparing sections of rock for
| microscopic examination on behalf of
Mr.. King. Mr.. Grant arrived in Butte
| last Monday. #.
| AT the opening Of court Mr.. tJanin
resumed his testimony under cross-ex-
| animation.
| The copy of Mr.. Robinson's sulphide
map, which the witness used the day
| before to illustrate the three divisions
in the disputed ground, became the
| subject of consideration. 1t had been
| changed in some respects since the day
before.
when was that change made on this
map?" asked Mr.. Hughes. @
eat the recess, after my testimony
was given yesterday answered the
| witness.
| lis it not true that the Snohomish
and north veins are incorrectly repre-
scented on that map?
"The veins are correctly represented
| as they are on the 2l0 level"
The witness said that his under
| standing was that this veins to the east
were represented as on the 2l0 level.
The north, south and Windlass veins
| converge in the highest workings near
the east fault. In the opinion of the
| witness the faulting may have some in
| f1uence in converging or punching the
| apexes east of the faults, but he did
| not know.
| "And it may have had influence in
| punching them west of the faults?"
| said Mr.. Hughes.
! Il don't know. what influence it had
| III that Respect. said the witness
| ''And between the faults?'
II don't know
"Well, if you take measurements on
| the model, tell me if the north connect
| ing vein and the No vein do not
converge toward the surface at the
west end?"
THE north connecting vein is nearly
| vertical, and the south vein and The
| Pennsylvania No. vein dip as they
| go down. Therefore the two latter
| veins get farther and farther away
from the former as they attain depth.
SIS there not a conveyance at the
east also?"
eyes. I think there is 49,.
| IF any segment of an east and west
vein between the faults extended from
4 wall to wall would you say that the
! west fault was it's apex?
Mo-
what would you call the apex
"rhe top of the north and south
| lode"
.Then, Mr.. Janin, would you say the
apey of a vein was under the diagonal
wall of either fault if you could trace 1t
through the faults and faulted ground
and beyond on both sides?'
mo, sir: ] should say the apex was
on the surface.
| The cross examination ended ana the
redirect examination began.
| "Now. Mr.. Janin, did you find any
| apeXes of the veins east of the tauits
anywhere but where you testified TO-?
asked Mr.. Scallon.
| mo. SIR
| cd nv
| plaintiffs counsel the day before 70
| the witness We're taken up. Ff
What do you call these samples
now?" said Mr.. Scallon.
IT did not know what they We're yes
terday. l could not be sure. But l
know what they are now | nave seen
| the place Where they came from. Ihey
are samples of dragged ore" said the
| witness.
please state what their characters
| tics are" 54e gT
Their faces show a rounded aspect
and indicate movement. They nave tne

not present the clean-broken appear

| The Robinson map and the copy OF 1t
were hung up and the witness said that
the veins on the 210 level were correctly
1 represented on the copy,
! DO the black splotches on these
4 mans represent the tops of the sulphide
| ore bodies?' asked MI 'Seanon. ~
Eyes" said the witness.
well, I'll ask you is it possible to
renresent the tops of all the sulphide
ore bodies on a horizontal plane with
| out projection?'
| mo, sir. ,
Nov, you spoke about rounded peh.
bles in the fault mass. IN ask you II
if was possible for rounded granite to
get into the faults without being drag
| ged there?
| mo"
.What I want to get at Is Whesher
| ANYTHING that would cause rounding
| of granite would affect the presence OF
ore in the fault plane?'
ooh certainly it would not.
The witness described the drilt on t,ie
| ,5ioh,el nevitt 30 level from which The
Tower sample came. He said that ]re

fault and cuts porphyry dyke 81 rect
