showed the effects of friction, the wit
ness said. The roundness of the sam
pie. which was called a boulder by Mr..
Braden, indicated that it had been
rolled. The mineral character of the
ore was sulphide. The witness thought
that the specimen showed conclusively
| that great pressure occurred at the
place from which it was taken.
A third sample, the witness said, was
| taken from the place the Tower sample
called porphyry came from. The sam
| pie was clay, though it looked like por-
| phyry, Mr.. Braden said. 1t was very
evident to him that it was not porphyry
when he compared it with porphyry.
Another sample of indurated clay en-
closing a porphyry pebble was submit
| ted in evidence, then a sample of brec-
ciated cement, containing pebbles of
ore and granite and one pebble of por-
phyry.
state whether you can correlate the
ore masses between the faults with the
veins outsider" said Mr.. Patterson.
ITO my mind the ore masses between
the faults have been so disturbed. brok"
en- and shattered that it would be very
difficult to do it," said the witness.
rs it possible?'
81 have not done it."
Have you tried?"
ITO a very limited extent, but with
very little success"
You call the country between the
faults a vein; why?'
Because miner, finding this ore
| mass between these two walls, would

vein under the United States nineral
| laws"
| The witness said that the vein traced

l
through this raise. 1t has no connec-
ton whatever with this raise.
There is no part of the North vein
| in No. PA raise the witness said.
The witness stated that the veins east
| and west of the faults are well defined
and easily traced. and that the country
between them lengthwise is granite
| The widest vein is the Windlass vein
which is 40 feet wide at one place.
rs that the widest place in any weir
| east of the faults?" asked Mr.. Patter-
| son.
Yes" said the witness.
| There is place in the North con
! Meeting vein that is 20 feet wide OF
more. The witness had seen place q
feet wide. He had not taken a special
measurement.

The witness said that he went to work

connection with the matters in litiga-

knowledge of these things was secured
since that time
When did you begin your examina-

your employment then asked Mr.
| Hughes.
After l had been employed about
two weeks said the witness. 1T was
in connection with the Michael Dewitt

The witness said that he attended AT

preparatory school He spent five
months at the Institute of Technology
| in Boston, the period named being part
of the first year of the four-yeal

chemistry, mechanical drawing and
other studies. The branches of mathe-

fetry and trigonometry.
"All these are preparatory studies and
have nothing to do with mining engi-
neering?" said Mr.. Hughes.
Yes" answered the witness.
He had stuu!ed the qualitative branch
