level show the continuity and identity
of the Rarus vein from east to west.
He took up each level separately after
this and proceeded to describe the
drifts and other workings that reveal
the vein. After describing the 400 level
drifts, he stated that the vein which
they were driven upon was the same
vein that he had called the Rarus vein
and which apexes in the Johnstown
ground. He described the openings,
on the 400 and 500 levels, upon the vein,
and the slopes and other inter-level
connections by which it can be traced
up and down; and named the points
where it apexes on the surface. A sim
liar description of the 600 level and the
intermediate ground followed. He said
the Slopes between the 500 and 600 lev
els are all driven upon ore, following
the identical vein. His testimony rela-
tive to the 700 level and the ground
Immediately above it was of a similar
nature Mr.. Palmer said that the veins
that go down under the Pennsylvania
north side line can be traced upward
to the surface, where they apex with
in the Rarus and Jamestown south
side lines.
Mr.. Tower described the Johnstown
vein from where it crosses the west
end line of the Johnstown claim, $50
feet north Of the Johnstown southwest
corner to where is crosses the west
end line of the Rarus claim, 70 feet
north of the Rarus southwest corner,
and thence across both claims to where
it passes out of them, across the east
end lines: and he said that the vein
is something over 1900 feet long from
west to east. The course, position and
length he assigned to the vein agreed
with those given to it on the individual
surface map of the plaintiffs.
Mr.. Palmer connected the vein with
the big Slopes on the $50 level east of
the Pennsylvania east end line. He
said that the most southerly drifts on
the 500 and 900 levels are in the vein,
and that stope or raise q, which con-
meets with the big slopes above the
400 level, goes down to the 700 leves
drift on the 700 level leaves the vein
in its trend at the north and taps an
other vein. The converging dips of
these veins cause them to unite as they
go up and become identified
The witness traced raise q from the
slopes above the 400 level down to the
700 level on the Johnstown vein, nam
ing the drifts and workings it inter-
sects on the way down and describing
their respective courses and locations.
This was to show the strike of the vein
underground. He said that the south
drift on the 500 level connects with the
big slopes, and is in ore on the Johns
comes to the surface on ore north of
the Johnstown south side line
The witness stated that the north
connecting vein has a strike north, 20
west: the Johnstown a strike east and
west and the Rarus strike north, 20
east
There are big ore deposits at the
junction and intersection of the three
veins of the Rarus lode, and the wit
ness stated their presence Is due to the
intense assuring that took place there.
He said that when system of veins
intersect, the ground is much broken.
| and large deposits of ore are found
Also in this connection he stated where
the big ore bodies lie. Owing to the
| broken, fissured and fractured condi-
| ton of the ground the limits of the
| veins and of the mineralized territory
| adjacent were not very clearly defined.
| This is a popularity natural to the ge-
illogical conditions present.
| Mr.. Tower said that the ore bodies
| between the transverse fissures-where
| they can be seen well--have an easter
| ly and westerly strike, with a slight
| northerly variation. The Johnstown
| and Rarus veins are distinctly indi-
| vidualized here and, while the ground
