could not be shown a connection be-
| tween the south vein and the name
| less vein at one part the witness said
| that the workings do not show any
such possibility
Are there not two veins in the shaft
that the plaintiff calls the junction
| shaft?' asked Mr.. Hughes.
There are two streaks of one vein,"
| answered Mr.. Word.
rs not one the north connecting vein
and the other the plaintiffs Rarus
vein?"
Il do not think so I think both are
| the north connecting vein.''
| DO they unite?'
| Il don't know"
| What size are they?"
| "A few inches in size
| The witness said that If the No. s
| Pennsylvania vein were extended to
| the east he thought the easterly part
| would come south of the decided ground
| at its southwest corner. 1t would en-
| ter the decided ground east of that if 1t
kept its course as last seen, but he
did not think 1t keeps it's course.
The witness testified that the big
| rock in the photographs put in evil
| dence by him yesterday was quartz
| He said that the rock was not rock in
| place, and that it was not decompos-
! ed quartz. The rock was located near
the apices of some veins, but the wit
| ness thought it was moved there.
will you tell why it was not part
| of one of the veins on the surface,
unmoved from where you found it?"
asked Mr.. Hughes.
Because I found wash and soft ma
| terial under it." said the witness.
| What do you mean by wash and
what do you mean by rock in place,
| Mr.. Word?"
| Rock in place is the solid mass
| of the mountain, and wash is the bro
! ken and disconnected pieces of rock
| that have been moved
| Mr.. Hughes showed the witness a
| photograph of a railroad cut on the dis
| puted ground and the witness said
| that the rock in the formation on the
side of the cut was rock in place at
its base. The detached and displaced
property Of wash distinguished it from
| rock in place.
The witness said that he had never
made a survey to ascertain whether
| the point in the Johnstown claim that
| he understood to be the Johnstown dis
| covery point was actually the point.
| The stake in the photograph of the
| point taken by the witness is 70
hood, he said.
The witness testified that he did not
| himself assay the samples that he had
! exhibited, but had had them assayed.
| The samples were not tested for cop
| per- He described the manner in
which he had taken samples from the
defendants raises from the Lloyd tun-
| mel.
He said that he did not take any
samples from the plaintiffs raise from
the tunnel. He explained that, while
there was no question as to the exist
ence Of vein in the plaintiffs raise, a
question had been raised in the trial
of the case as to whether the defend
ant has a vein in its raises: therefore,
his samples had been taken to prove
that the defendant has a vein there.
rs the vein in the plaintiffs raise
a branch of that in the defendants
raises?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
There is no development to show
that it is" said the witness.
The witness described belt samples
as the kind secured by stripping a con-
tinuous belt of rock from along sur
face and selecting part of the rock
for assays. All material on the line
Of the belt, seams and country rock
included, is taken continuously, and the
samples show the average value of the
entire area.
The witness defined an apex as the
highest part Of a vein measured al
