The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-27

When he returned to the stand he
testified that he had spent five months
in Butte making examinations of the
ground in controversy for the purposes
of the Michael Dewitt case and the pres
ent one. The time he had been UNDER
ground for this purpose aggregated 50
days. He said he is familiar with the
ground. He visited other mines besides
those involved in the case.
Using the model, he described the
places from which the samples enumer-
ated in the list of assays were taken.
Then he pointed out on the model, gave
their colors on the model and named the
veins east of the east fault. After this
he pointed out these veins on cross
section map, and gave their distances
on the surface from the various claim
lines. This evidence did not differ from
that Of the previous witnesses for the
defendant.
The witness, like all the rest, said
that the veins east of the east fault
are cut off on the west by the east
fault.
He took those veins in order, and
traced them on the model through all
their workings from end to end.
The Windlass vein has been devel-
oped down to the 900 level, and up to
the east fault on some levels and not
on others. The witness said there are
five points on the surface where this
vein is shown in the workings These
points are, in most cases, connected
with the underground workings. The
witness gave the apex of the vein as
the upper horizontal extremity show
ing on the surface under the wash and
the diagonal extremity at the west emu
of 1t running up and down along the
wall OF the east fault He said the
diagonal part of the apex under the
r-,n xNf 60, t. to-, he nj oil
Dewitt and Pennsylvania ground.
He said that fault is 2 displace-
ment of vein on the plane of its ifs
sure. He described the faults in the
controverted ground, with relation 10
the clay slip and the broken material
in the fault crevlce.
He said that he thought the dragged
ore found in the faults is conclusive evil
dence Of the faulting, and that a min
ing superintendent, directing opera
tions in a mine, would follow the
dragged ore to find the dislocated vein.
He exhibited some rock samples, and
said that they were dragged ore from
the faults, and showed the way the ore
was dragged.
Another sample he described as COM
ing from the same place as the Tower
porphyry sample. and said that it
showed clay pebbles and dragged ore.
Il should say that that sample is
hardened clay from the faults, formed
by the grinding up of the rock in the
faulting," said Mr.. Word, when asked
to examine and define the sample in
troduced by the plaintiffs witness. Mr..
Tower, and called porphyry by the lat
ter.
He further stated that he could find
no evidence of the presence of porphyry
that had been intruded from below at
the point from which the Tower sample
came.
He described the porphyry dyke be-
tween the faults on the 210 level, and
| told how far it is north of another body
| of porphyry east of the east fault on
| the same level. These bodies, he said.
were originally parts of continuous
| dyke, which had been dislocated and
| displaced in parts by the faulting that
| had occurred.
I'm every instance that l have seen
| the porphyry is cut off where 1t comes
| up to the faults" said the witness.
| The witness said that he took samples
| at intervals of 10 feet from the No. s
vein up and down the raise connecting
with the Lloyd tunnel. The samples
| stretched from the surface down to q
point 100 feet below the Lloyd tunnel
All were oxide ore but one, which was
suIphide
