side. of shaft No. 3. At this point it is
possible to pass through the 40-foot
apex drift.
Mr.. Robinson said that passing east
from the east end line of the Rarus.
there are indications of three divisions
of the vein. He said also that there are
connections by the workings with all
the controverted ore bodies below the
450 level
TT is the habit of the veins to dip to
the SOUTH" said Mr.. Robinson. THE
veins that are vertical on that dip to
the north are all within the sulphde
zone. They do not break through the
shell or back at the surface.
"A point l make is that the fiat veins
do not have an independent apex" said
Mr.. Robinson. There has been a ques-
ton raised as to whether the ore bodies
pass through the faults on ore. l will
now state that they pass through the
faults, on the 400 level, not only on ore.
but on masses of ore"
Mr. Robinson pointed out the open
ings on the vein on the $50 level and
continued: IF there is a displacement
it ought to be made evident but the
veins pass through the faults on
straight lines; there Is neither displace-
ment nor change of direction.
THE north connecting drift is not
part of the Rarus lode after it departs
to the west from it. To the east of its
connection with the lode is has no iden-
tity at ALL" continued Mr.. Robinson.
Mr.. Robinson said that the Rarus and
Johnstown veins are hardly to be sepa-
rated at their intersection, but that the
Rarus can be distinguished by rich
vein or rib running through the big ore
body there.
He placed in evidence some samples
of ore taken from point east of the
west f1ssure
There are vertical veins of stopable
ore under the fiat vein Of the west
transverse fissure, Mr.. Robinson stated.
The sulphide apices of the veins are
at positions of from 100 to 125 feet above
the $50 level
The direct examination was con-
cluded, and Mr.. Patterson of counsel for
the Boston & Montana company opened
