What do you find in the cut?'
The vein is exposed there"

What do you find in the CUT"
THE vein is exposed there"
How wide is the vein?"
AT that point think 1t is, perhaps,
four feet wide"
rs the vein well defined?"
Yes"
Does it show the course?"
Yes, sir"
What depth is the eut?''
From four to six feet?"
The witness testified that the cut was
in solid formation, the formation being
broken somewhat at places, and that
the vein was as well defined in the cut
as 1t ever is in this granite formation.
He said the fissure was found in the
cut, but that this naturalization spreads
out beyond its sides. Asked what he
could see at the Johnstown west end
line. he said he was not positive wheth-
er there is cut or a shaft there. There
are several cuts and shafts in that di-
rection showing indications of veini-
ficaton. The vein is found at the west
end line as well defined as on the Rarus
end line. The assure is to be found
showing the course Of the ore and the
vein can be seen inside the working.
1t Is next to be seen at the railroad cut
1t is not to be seen between. though
there is quartz indications at points
between He fixed the location of the
Johnstown vein because it is further
south in the south tunnel The Rarus
vein was found in the middle tunnel
The tunnels are 40 feet apart and the
veins do not unite till they come to the
railroad cut.
The witness stated that all the veins
are within lode 200 feet wide. He
stated that the Johnstown vein is the
most southerly, and that he regards it
as the hanging wall of the lode on the
S-trpf pf1 Il ILL.,
there are seven strong assures between
the Johnstown and Rarus veins in the
westerly parts of the claims. These
assures are practically parallel with
the YOUNGSTOWN vein. Some of them are
more vertical than others, and probably
join the Johnstown vein going up.
They may change in dip and strike.
The witness could not tell what would
occur in undeveloped ground, but he
presumed, in the absence of knowledge
of the facts, that the dip and strike re-
main the same.
In answer to questions concerning
his present occupation, Mr.. Palmer said
that he has been a resident of Salt Lake
since 1873 and has been connected with
the DAILY and Ontario mines at Park
City, as civil and mining engineer, for
years
1t was shown by the testimony of the
witness that there are vertical sections
OF ground between the surface and the
$50 level at the westerly workings, ag-
gregating over 100 feet in extent, either
devoid of naturalization or undevel-
oped.
Mr.. Hughes objected to the line of
questioning pursued here. The objection
was overruled and an exception taken
Mr.. Palmer located the hanging wall
of the lode on the Johnstown vein in
No. raise.
The two transverse assures and the
country between them came in for at
tention at this point and Mr.. Palmer
said that these assures were formed af-
ter the east and west veins. and that
all were formed before any mineraliza-
ton took place. He said he could follow
the east and west ore channels and ore
deposits across the Johnstown and Ra-
rus ground through the faults or trans
verse assures, and identify them.
The ore between the faults is simply
a continuation of that outside of them,
east and west. There is a long stope
going up from the 800 level between the
transverse assures.
rs there any ore between the faults
except in the long slopes spoken Off"
asked Mr. Patterson.
No" ftG
THAT is true of all the veins, is it?
