to the 500 level and asked him about
what veins show on the Pennsylvania
| north side line. He answered that the
| Johnstown and Rarus both showed
| there. He said there was no intersec-
| ton of the veins on this level as de-
veloped. He was asked to explain how
| the veins could intersect on the 500
level and not on the $50. He said they
| dipped at different angles.
| He said that the Johnstown vein was
| north of the Rarus at point east of
the intersection on the $50 level and
south of it on the 500.
Then, while the Johnstown is north
| of the Rarus on the $50 level, 1t has
| jumped back to the south on the 500,
| all within a vertical space of so feet?''
| asked Mr.. Scallon.
| Yes, sir" answered the witness.
How do you explain the fact of an
| intersection on the $50 and none on the
| 500?' asked Mr.. Scallon.
well the 500 is not developed" was
| the answer.
The witness said, in answer to a
| question, that the Johnstown vein dip
| ped about 40 feet between the $50 and
| 500 levels at the point in question. This
carries it south of the Rarus. MIR.
| Scallon, using two sheets of paper to
illustrate the intersection of the veins
| on the 450 level, asked the witness how
he could get the lodges back together
again on the 500. Mr.. Brown repeated
| his previous answer Asked If he had
ever found the intersection of the veins
on the 500 level, he answered in the
negative. He said that the 500 level
had not been developed. Asked that
| If a transverse vein crossed the inter-
! secting veins at the point of intersec-
ton and caused fault, would not
| the fault explain the failure to find the
intersection at lower level he said
| that 1t would.
Mr.. Scallon next took the witness
| down to the 600 level, along the line
| of what is known as the big stope.
Mr. Brown said that the deeper the
| stope went the further it trended to
| the west. The 600 level map was hung
| up, and the west transverse assure was
| located by the witness, and marked
on the map by permission of the OPP
posing counsel The big body was fix
and east transverse assures East of
| ed by the witness between the west
the east transverse assure he said
| there were drifts on the 600 level
! No. 5 and No. 2 He said No. was
| in ore.
What vein is this drift in?" asked
| Mr.. Scallon.
After considerable reflection the wit
| ness answered that it was on the Ra-
rus. He said that this was in the
| country of individualized veins. The
big stope was on the Rarus system of
veins on the 700 level, and the plain
| tiffs have the Rarus and Johnstown
| veins inside the Pennsylvania line on
| this level. He said that drift No.
was in commercial ore going from
| 21a to per cent. copper.
At this juncture Mr.. Scallon changed
| the subject of his questions to the
| hanging wall of the Rarus vein on the
$50 level, at the point of contact with
| the Michael Dewitt claim, and it was
ELECTED from the witness that the dip
of the wall was about 25 degrees in
that locality. Then he turned to the
| matter of the varying distances of the
| hanging wall from the Rarus south
side line. in order to follow the ledge
from the lower levels to the surface.
The object of the examination here
was to discover where the ledge apex
ed on the surface. The witness testi-
mony kept the ledge within the lines
| drawn on cross section "P.
The witness was still on the stand
when the court adjourned for the day.
The case will be resumed at 10 o'clock
| this morning in Judge Clancy's court
| room. Heretofore it has been heard
in Judge Lindsay's department, ow-
