The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-19

Pennsylvania Workings asked Mr..
Patterson.
mo, sir " was the reply.
The next vein to the south the wit
ness called the North vein. 1t is first
seen right at the surface in the top of
No. upraise in Michael Dewitt ground.
1t runs west to the east fault.
There the termination of the vein
is absolute. 1t goes on farther to the
west" declared Mr.. Bulky.
On the $50 Rarus it has an almost
vertical dip, and terminates westward
at the fault. The witness said that it
dips to the north at an angle of from
10 to so degrees, from the surface down
to point below the $50 level: and then
dips to the south at a similar angle
from that point downward. making a
complete change of dip in its course.
1t varies in thickness from an inch to
Is or 90 feet, and it is so well defined
that it is unmistakable throughout its
course.
The next vein south, on the east side
of the faults. is the Windlass vein.
This vein shows on the Rarus $50 level
in the Michael Dewitt claim, runs west
and terminates at the east fault. 1t is
developed in the crosscut at the fault,
but the adjacent workings that open
the area inside the faults do not dis
close it. 1t is shown in various raises
and other workings, the witness said.
He stated that the apex is we'll de-
fined at the surface under the wash
rock. The dip is about vertical. The
apex is about 100 feet south of the south
side line of the Rarus claim. AT the
west the vein terminates under the east
face of the east fault. There is an alb
solute termination of the vein at the
east fault. On the 450 level it can be
traced continuously and 1t is stopped ex-
tensively.
The witness said that this vein illus
trates what is called the drag at
the fault. 1t has been pushed. bent
and dragged there.
The vein has been traced downward
continuously, mined largely. and wher-
ever followed up to the east fault, is
| found to end there.
There is no trace of it between the
| faults" said Mr.. Bulky.
In thickness it runs from two to 40
| feet.
AT the surface the apex is very
| broad" said the witness. This is next
| to the fault. 1t is IL or Is feet wide
| there. and consists of many parallel
| streaks or branches.
What is the possibility of tracing
this vein from the surface to its lowest
workings" asked Mr.. Patterson.
1T is very distinct and easily trace
able" said Mr.. Bulky.
state whether or not the veins you
have been describing are well defined
and easily traceable."
They are well defined, easily trace
able and not connected. except as to
one point where the cross vein crosses
the North vein.
Mr.. Bulky traced the apex of the
vein and said that the part that fol-
| lows up under the east face of the east
| fault is part of the apex. being the top
| most part of the vein at that point.
He described the Burkeley vein. which
/ is also east of the faults, and said that
| its apex is under the surface in Michael
Dewitt ground and at the west end
under the east fault.
Mr.. Bulky next described the posi-
| ton and shape of the fiat ore body
| which is between the faults, beginning
with the Michael Dewitt 210 level and
| passing from there to the Rarus 400
! level. He gave a description of the
| workings on the fiat ore body Incl
| dentally. The individual plan maps
| We're used during this by Ire witness
| The 450 level followed the 400. Some
| of the workings are not open on the
$50 level The witness indicated the ac-
cessible ground and that which is not
| in detail
| There are places on the 45O level
