of the period of his schooling he trav-
eled through Hungary and other Eu-
ropean countries with the eminent
German geologist, Professor Van Cot
ta, and the book on geology written
| by Professor Van Gotta, as result
! of that tour, has been very widely
| quoted.
After his return to America he went
| to Virginia, New, as civil engineer.
and soon became a superintendent of
| one of the great mines there. He made
| a trip to Mexico: then returned to the
| Comstock, and from 1862 to 1872 was
general manager Of one of the largest
mills there.
After that I went to California and
became one of those much abused in
| dividuals, a mining expert" said Mr..
| Janin.
Il hope you do not think unjustly
abused" interpolated MI. Hughes of
! the opposition counsel with smile.
"Oh, yes, l do" returned Mr.. Janin
Mr.. Janin went from California to
Japan later and exported mines there.
He was abroad year, examining
mines, and then returned to America,
| where he has remained ever since, al
ways following one branch of mining
or another.
Mr.. Janin said that he came to Butte
four months ago, had examined the
ground in controversy and is familiar
with it. He briefly described the apices
of the veins in the disputed ground
and said that, while nobody can be
absolutely positive as to their posi-
ton in undeveloped parts, their gem
eral course is correctly outlined on
the defendants apex map. He said
that the apices are cut off at the
faults on both the east and west side,
and that the north and south lode is
D,,1t 81 ~
the west is thrown north. and there is
no longer any continuity of the east
and west veins across the north and
south lode.
THE north and south lode is fault
mass and the displacement is over
200 feet. Owing to the dragging and
rushing of the fault mass, no part or
fragment of a vein in the mass can
be identified with any vein outside.
The north and south lode has distinct
boundaries, and all the identity and
continuity of the veins east and west
of it are lost at it's walls said Mr..
Janin.
Mr.. Janin brought out a copy of a
map used by Mr.. Robinson, one of the
plaintiffs experts. The map showed
the east series of the east and west
veins coming UP to the faults on one
side, and the west series coming up on
the other, the first series much the
farther north. Between the fault lines
was a splotch of paint representing the
mass Of ground there as a solid body.
This shows the situation. The veins
are cut in two, and those on the west
thrown north The mass between is
entirely distinguished from them. That
is all there is to it, as far as l can
see," said Mr.. Janin.
Some functions or crossings among
the east series of veins were shown on
the map.
did 1 understand you to say that
the so-called Johnstown vein here
shown does not cross the so-called Ra-
rus vein?" asked Mr.. Scallon.
Yes, sir. They do not cross
There are no conditions to warrant the
supposition that there is a crossing
like that shown on this map" said
Mr.. Janin.
The witness said that the south side
line of the Rarus falls diagonally be-
tween the tops of the east series of
veins and the tops of the west series.
Where do you locate the apex of the
north and south lode?' asked Mr.. Seal
lon.
II apex it where the apex lines on
the map indicate: where / saw 1T
exposed in two railroad cuts in the
ground" said the witness.
