identified below'that depth without the
aid of samples.
John F. Forbis conducted the cross
examination of Mr.. Sizer
Il believe you started your descrip-
ton with the YOUNGSTOWN vein and you
spoke of the Johnstown discovery shaft
at the west end?"
Yes, SIR"
rs there shaft at that point?"
Il don't know, the place is covered
by dump from No. shaft"
The witness testified about the Gu,
along the west end line of the Rarus
claim which crosses the Johnstown
Rarus and north connecting vein. The
only evidence of the Johnstown vein in
the cut is discoloration and wash
from which the witness judged the vein
is about Is feet wide.
What is the width Of the Rarus as
shown in that cut?"
Il could not say"
rs it 200 feet?"
rs it 100 feet?"
rs it so feet wide?"
Il don't think 1t is that wide"
DO you think it is rs feet wide?"
1T is probably 80 feet wide
In answer to other questions the wit
ness said that there was no develop
tween the west end lines of the Rarus
and Johnstown claims, and no develop
ment east of the Rarus end line cut for
distance of about 800 feet, at which
point the vein is disclosed in a rail-
road cut. The Rarus and Johnstown
from the junction near that point.
You find junction there and as
sumo it is the same vein?"
Yes, sir"
"Can you trace the Jamestown to that
point?"
Il think I can approximately"
by rock in place or fioat?"
MOSTLY by float
Where the railroad cut crosses the
vein is it still a distinct Johnstown
vein or does it become the Rarus?"
II am unable to say. but the
point Is close to the junction"
The witness said the junction at the
surface was determined by computation
and not by guess, the junction being
positively ascertained in the under
ground workings by observation.
Mr.. Forbis asked the witness why.
after the junction of the north connect
ing vein and the Rarus, the continual
ton was shown on the maps as the
Rarus apex instead of calling it a con-
tinuation of the north vein. The wit
ness said that after the union of the
two veins the north vein ceases as a
scpdldle ore pouy, DecduSe up 10 tne
junction it's dip is nearly vertical.
whereas the Rarus dips into the earth
at an angle of nearly 70 degrees. This
70 degree dip continues after the juno
ton of the two veins. showing that the
identity Of the north connecting vein
Is lost.
Judge Mediation objected to some of
Mr.. Forbes questions on the ground
that 1t was not proper cross examina-
ton. the matter sought to be brought
out not having been gone into by the
plaintiff on the direct examination. The
court referred to the supreme courts
decision in the famous Veno case and
said that under that ruling he would
have to overrule the objection.
Mr.. Mediation said he would then in
sist that the evidence that would be
brought out was the evidence of the
defense and that the latter should be
bound by it, and the plaintiff would
claim the right to rebut it at the close
of the defendants case. Mr.. McHat-
ton said the defense was trying to make
out its case on cross examination. Mr.
Forbis brought out the fact that the
measurements made by the witness did
not agree with those made by Expert
Macfarlane and that according to the
formers figures both the Johnstown
