The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-26

Didn't you say that this was unified
into one vein. this whole section of
country that is marked by clear glass
upon this model by reason of the fact
that your samples showed values
throughout the cross-cuts?"
That the naturalization was very
general; yes, SIR"
And that you denominated it one
zone on that account?"
II did"
And didn't that very zone include
these very cross cuts that you now
say are in country rock and not on
vein?"
They were not"
''They were not included?"
They were not driven at that time"
Wasn't that very country in
cluded?"
1T was"
And you then testified that it was
one vein, from north to south?"
II did. I have not now stated that the
66 cross cut is not in vein or not in
vein material"
Take the Witness" said Mr. Forbis,
concluding the cross-examinattion.
That's ALL" said Mr. Corbett, and
Mr.. Neill, who had proven an excellent
witness for plaintiff, was excused. Dur
ing the DISCRIMINATION of Mr.. Nein
the capacity of the stenogra pher, Mr..
Macdougal, came pretty near being
taxed. and he probably broke all local
records. During an hour and a half
he took notes which, when transcribed,
made 50 typewriter pages of two folios
and a half each. Ordinarily, 40 pages
would be considered rapid work.
Walter S. Kelly was recalled for fur
Their cross-examination by Mr.. Patter-
son, and he was again taken through
some of the eastern workings, especi-
ally those about the faults, and the
witness explained what he consid-
cred the ore connections and vein COM
tinufty. Mr.. Kelly stated that he was
not very familiar with the workings
in the extreme east and west ends of
the claims, and that he devoted his
time and attention to portions which
he considered were essential to the
case. In answer to other questions,
Mr.. Kelly said the 700 and the 6OO-foot
levels were on the Johnstown vein. He
stated also that he could not account
for the course of the 700-foot level
which was run in "V" shape.
There are quite a few workings in
the ground for which l cannot ac-
count" he said.
The witness claimed, however, that
the level was on the vein and that the
vein also ran straight through along
the open end Of the "V" considerable
distance south of the workings and
which has not been worked.
Mr.. Kelly was asked to explain why
raise No. "a left the vein or fissure on
which it was started and run for some
distance, and went across to the north
and went UP on another assure. Mr.
Kelly's answer was evasive.
rs it not a fact?" asked Mr.. Pat
terson, that If the "a raise had fol-
lowed the vein upon which 1t was
started that it would have been taken
outside the south side of the Rarus,
and for that reason it entered the fault
assure till 1T found another fissure that
would carry 1t up within the side line?"
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Corbett both
made objections. Mr.. Hughes said the
question was nothing more than an ar
gument of counsel based on his imagi-
nation.
rs not that your opinion is an engi-
neer?' asked Mr.. Patterson of the wit
ness before the court had ruled on the
previous question.
Another objection was made and ar
gued
1T is evident that this witness knows
more about it than his counsel" said
Mr.. Patterson.
No, he does not" said Mr. Corbett,
for the raise was made before the wit
ness came into this case"
