| phyry," said the witness.
As to his own slides, the witness said
| that the presence of certain constituents
in them left no room for doubt that the
substance was quartz porphyry.
The witness said that the porphyry
| from the faults is very much decorn-
posed.
did you, in your examination in
| chief ard your cross-examination, say
one word about this porphyry being de-
| composed?" asked Mr.. Patterson.
Il do not remember" said the wit
| ness.
| Mr.. Patterson read the evidence tho
witness gave at his previous examina-
| tton to show that he had called the
fault matter solid porphyry. The ex-
animation on this feature was cut off by
| the court.
Mr. Patterson read extracts from
geological works describing how por-
phyry dykes are found, and the wit
| ness told how the rules laid down APP
ply to the formations in the two faults.
The witness said that the porphyry HAD
been mechanically forced up into the
assure py pressure, and was brecciated
while cooling by the action upon It
produced by the pressure from below.
The redirect-examination was opensd
by Mr.. Cotter.
He examined the witness as to points
connected with the formation of the in
jected porphyry and the analysis of
rock that he had had made. Mr. Pat
terson interposed objections to most of
the questions.
The examination here was chiefly
concerned with the technicalities of
geological formations and properties.
Walter s. Kelly, another expert of
the plaintiff, was the next witness. He
said. against several objections by Mr..
Scallon, overruled and followed by ex-
iS M
in the apex drift and raise on the de-
PENDANTS No. s vein.
The witness testified that the strealSs
or veins in the defendants No. apex
drift are not the apex of any vein in
volved in the case.
He also said that he would not call
the ground between the faults horse.
Mr.. Scallon conducted the cross-ex-
animation.
The parts of veins in the workings on
the No. 2 vein were the subject of con-
siderable testimony.
The witness said he did not know
where the hanging wall of the Rarus
lode is.
He described the workings relating
to the No 3 and No. veins that he had
examined, and the description took
some time.
When the witness finished his evil
dence it was nearly 5 o'clock. Mr.. Pat
to decide upon the time the court would
allow for the arguments in the case
and the date upon which they would be
delivered. The matter was discussed.
Mr.. Patterson, for the defendant, ex-
pressed the opinion that day for a
side would be the shortest time in
which the arguments could be present
ed. The court had suggested three
hours for side, and Mr.. Cotter. for the
plaintiff, said that he would be salts
fed with that period. The court finally
decided that each side should be al
lowed four hours. 1t was decided that
the arguments should begin next Fri
day morning at o'clock, it being ex-
pected that the evidence would reach
an end to-day. Judge Clancy said that
he wished to inspect the workings on
the ore deposits in the case, and if the
evidence is finished to-day he will de-
vote Thursday to that purpose. He said
that he wished to be accompanied by a
mining engineer for each side, and two
such gentlemen will probably accom-
pany him.
