attrition matter-the hardened clay
| selvage of the fault fissure," said Mr..
Tyler, after he had looked over the
| Tower sample.
He said he should expect to find
| porphyry pebbles in the brecciated part
| of the samples, since there was por-
| phyry dixie dislocated along with the
| veins and granite. 1t had furnished
| some of the material that was ground
| UP.
| State If there Is any injected por-
| phyry or porphyry brought there by
! Injection along the boundary planes
of the faults?" said Mr.. Patterson.
There is none at all that I could
| find" said the witness.
| He gave the distances of the dis
| placements of the ground intersacted
by the faults, saying that the h ,r:zon-
tai displacement was about 200 feet
He explained that while 1t was easy
to determine the distance of the Tor
izontal throw, there was scarcity OF
data upon which to calculate the'Ner-
tical throw, as to whether it was up
or down. But the task had been sue
cessfully accomplished to the entire
satisfaction of the witness.
The court took notes of the distances
of the displacements given by the wit
ness.
The correlation map used by Witness
Braden was hung up, and the witness
explained that he had assisted Mr..
Braden in the correlation of the veins.
and that some of the east AMI west
veins on either side of the faults had
been correlated successfully
What do you say. Mr. Tyler, as to
there once being continuous porphyry
dixie extending through the country"
asked Mr.. Patterson.
II am perfectly satisfied that a por-
phyry dixie extended through the COT n
try continuously once,' said the wit
ness.
What do the relative positions of
the porphyry bodies found in the lnlne
now indicate to your mind?"
They indicate that the pcrpn"ly
dixie was faulted by the faults. aid
the porphyry bodies moved to where
they now are between the faults and
west of the faults"
DO you find any place where the
porphyfy extends through the faults
and across the faulted zone?"
No, sir. There are porp1yry b:6,es
between the faults and outside. hut
none running across"
Mr.. Tyler, state whether there is
either continuity or identity between
the veins west of the faults and the
ore bodies within?'
There Is none"
State whether there is either cor
tinuity or identity between the veins
east of the faults and the ore deposits
between"
mo, sir; there is not"
What does the mass If country he
tween the faults constitute 10 your
mind?"
A Great Lode.
ITO my mind 1t constitutes a great
lode or vein, running thr ough the
country independently.
''Why?"
Because, in it are found scattered
ore bodies contained IN mass Of rock
between defined boundaries, ana be-
cause the scattered veins cannot be
connected with apices or their identity
be established in any other way"

direct examination ended and the
cross began.
You came here in 1872" said Mr.
Hughes.
Yes. SIR" said the witness.
And there were openings IN 1897,
now closed, in which you made EXAM
nations that others have nos been able
to make since?"
les, SIT.
Have more workings bean CT sed
since your examination then than have
been constructed since?"
Il don't think so.''
The witness then described the OF en-
lngs that have been closed sinee kis
first examination, and those since
opened.
Can you tell US of any working dis
closing either the east or west fault
OF 1,r -
Michael Dewitt trial?" asked Mr..
Hughes.
Yes, SIR" said Mr.. Tyler.
he named two or three such WORKINGS
on each fault and descrip ed them in
detail, relating the circumstances of
their history.
Local Variations
The next subject upon which the wit
ness was examined by Mr.. Hughes was
the local variations in the dip and
strike of the faults. 1t was brought out
that the faults do not go down IN
straight lines, but wiggle and undulate.
The faulted area came under discus
sion.
AT the time of the Michael Dewitt
trial what did you think this ground
wasp asked Mr.. Hughes. did you
think 1t one fault or two?"
Il don't think I made up my mind
then, am free to confess, what I
thought it them" said the witness
But you had studied it before that
case, had you not?"
u knew there was a fault then"
yet you never mentioned the great
north and south pink colored vein at
that trial?"
y! never mentioned it as the pink COL
ored lode, SIR
Nor as any other lode?"
r1<Nk
not important then"
Mr. Hughes read the testimony IF the
witness at the Michael Dewitt trial, in
which he said that the displacement
tnat haa taken place was up into the
air and that it was probable that a slab
of ground from the west had moved
over the ground eastward. The Wit
ness said the testimony was true
Further testimony was read in which
the witness said that the fiat vein ard
the vertical vein between the faults
were not connected and that he Thought
