rupted parts of one vein?" asked MIR.


Hughes.
Il should say they were parts OF one
Vein,' said the witness.
Mr. Hughes showed the witness a
sample of rock of large size, and asked
him if he recognized it as fault matter
from the west fault on the 600 level. He
said that the sample showed clay seams
and brecciated matter on both sides,
but that he would not pretend to iden-
tify it.
Does not this sample represent he
clay seam and the ore in opposition en-
both sides of it that you just spoke of?'
asked Mr.. Hughes.
L don't see any vein material in that
sample" said the witness There is
width of five feet of brecciated mat
ter at that point
As the sample was only about foot
wide it could not include the clay seam,
the five feet of brecciated matter and
the vein material on both sides
The witness was questioned whether
there is 40 feet of Stopping on one side
of the west fault and 30 feet of stop
ing on the other at one point on the
400 level, with nothing between but the
clay seam, and he said that he lad
not visited the point.
The court noted Mr.. Hughes qucs-
ton, taking the stope dimensions given.
Another point on the fault south of
this place was discussed. There are
Slopes there on both sides of the faults,
the witness said, and the vein on the
outside is opposite the Slopes on the
inside of the faults. At a ioi1t still
farther south there are other Slopes at
the fault.
Don't you find vein cas-. of the
east fault at this point?" asked Mr.
Hughes.
Il did not see it," said the witness.
will you go SO far as to say it is
not there?'
mo, sir; but If it was there should
think I would have seen it,
Mr.. Hughes asked the witness II a
orft did not start IN a vein at this
point east of the east fault, pass across
the faulted territory on vein and con-
tinue on a vein in the west country.
He answered that the VEN east Of the
east fault ends at the fault that the
Slopes continue on between the faults,
but there is no vein there. Another
point at the north on the east fault was
next discussed.
The witness said that there are
slopes that go up from the 400 level to
the 210 level, but they are divided into
two sets, one on each side Of the east
fault.
rs it not a fact that slopes start up
on the east side of the east fault and
Il
fault?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
Il did not see them,' said the wit
ness.
The $50 level next attracted atten-
ton, and vein there that is north Of
the north connecting vein was dis
cussed. This vein comes up to the west
fault from the west. The witness said
that the working inside the fault at
this point was inaccessible to him.
You can't say whether the ore here
was on both sides Of the fault or not,
then?' said Mr.. Hughes.
mo, sir; I cannot" said the witness.
This is one of the places at which
you said the outside vein was cut off,
is it not?'
Yes
What you mean by cut off is where
the clay seam appears whether there is
ore on both sides or not?'
Yes, sir"
Mr.. King, not having seen the points
could not say whether the Powder vein
and the south vein come up to the east
fault on this level or not. The Slopes
are crushed on the Powder vein at the
fault. The witness could not say wheth-
er the slopes crossed and the ore was
in opposition where the Powder weir
comes to the east fault on this level OF
not.
He could not say whether there is an
opposition of ore at the fault south OF
the Powder vein or not. He could not
reach the fault on the Iron vein on
this level, he said.
There is stope on the Pennsylvania
No. vein at the fault, or rather there
is big opening going through the
fault there. Mr.. King did not know
whether it had been stope or not
There was the opening, and ore might
have been taken from it. He could moi
say that ore had been on both sides OF
the fault.
Attention was transferred to the east
fault and the west ends of the veins
east of it on the $50 level. The north
ernmost vein was taken up, and Mr.
King said he could not tell whether il
came up to the fault or not.
Did you go through this next work
ing to the south?" asked Mr.. Hughes
Yes said the witness.
WAS 1t open and accessible at the
fault?"
Yes"
Gould you tell if there was ore on
both sides or not?"
Il could not"
Coming south to this next working
could you see whether or not the vein
there came to the fault?"
No, sir; the vein was invisible. II
was impossible to see it,
Coming still farther south, we have
| very large stope. Does that include
! more than one vein?"
1T is hard to tell from the evidenc.
| available now"
"Well, I want to ask while I thinl
| Of it: Does it happen that in this mine
| there are big slopes that take in sever
| al veins?"
Yes, sir; I think that that occurs
''Well, in such workings is the grounc
between the veins broken out so tina
there is only one opening for all?"
Yes; but in such cases the GROUND
between the big veins has small vein:
and is practically a part of the miner
allied ground"
The 500 level came after this. thu
