The Anaconda standard., 1899-09-14

The witness admitted that there was
| nothing in sight to warrant the draw
ing. The fault was painted upon the
map at the point in question upon the
theory that it is there below the sur
face. The witness explained that the
fault is found in a raise under this spot
10 feet below the surface.
Mr.. Hughes took the witness north
ward along the course of the faults as
portrayed by the pink band on the apex
map, and it was developed that the
apexes of the faults do not appear on
the surface of the ground at a number
of places where the pink band makes
them appear. The pink band represent
ed theoretical projections of the apexes
at these places, the faults being found
| below the surface underneath the places
at varying depths. In making the pro-
jections allowances were made for the
dip of the faults to the west.
At one point the west fault, where
found in the ground, is 25 or 30 feet
below and 25 or 80 feet to the west of
the apex line of projection.
The witness said that. as portrayed
upon the apex map, the faults, at their
greatest divergence, are 40 feet apart,
and at the 800 level are $50 feet apart,
as demonstrated.
Then they diverge $50 feet in going
from the surface to the 500 level?" askea
Mr.. Hughes.
Yes" answered the witness
Then the west fault has Travelled 800
feet west in going 800 feet?"
Yes"
What angle would that be?"
I'D have to make a calcula ton to
give you the distance. If you'll wait till
noon, I'll give it to you then"
THAT isn't what / want. / want to
know the angle"
The witness took measurements on
the model and said the angle was As
degrees.
He then said, in answer to a question,
that the west fault had travelled 400
feet in going from the surface to the
500 level, and dips at an angle of SO de-
grees.
The witness stated that the faults are
265 feet apart at a certain point on the
700 level: 210 feet apart on the 600; $50
on the 500; $50 to 175 on the 45O: SIS to
125 on the 400; so to IS on the Michael
Dewitt 210, and SO on the Rarus $50
level.
The faulting testified to in the direct
examination of the witness came in for
investigation at this point.
What was the direction of the fault
ing that you testified to in your direct
examination? asked Mr. Hughes
North was the answer.
What territory moved north?"
'The territory west of the west fault,
think"
What territory moved north as re-
iates to the area between the faults?"
II don't know"
The witness said that the horizontal
movement had been much greater than
the vertical movement. He could not
say that there had been any vertical
displacement at all.
He said that the geological conditions
on the 700 level indicate a secondary
movement The veins are dislocated
and much broken, and it would seem
that there had been an upward move
ment of the area west of the west fault
You made a thorough examination,
did you not?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
Yes" said the witness.
You knew the defense relied upon
showing vertical displacement, and
yet you could not find anything show
ing that it existed?' af5
We'll, l could not find anything upon
which to form an opinion"
Can you give an opinion as to
whether there was a vertical displace-
ment between the faults?"
mo"
"Why?" '-#
There is nothing to determine the
fact that l can find"
