| were. Near the westerly angle of the
north boundary of the decided ground
| the veins approach within four feet OF
each other, but remain four feet apart
| the witness said. The ground between
| is no more altered than the country
| rock in general. The apices of the veins
! diverge when they leave this point or
| their way eastward.
Mr.. Akers explained that the surface
| ground slopes to the east at an angle
| of Is degrees from the horizontal. in
| its easterly part. This being the case
| and the apex of the south vein being
| down the hillside, it is naturally far
| Their to the south than it would be on q
| level surface, erosion having worn off
| its upper part along with the hillside
and exposed it at a more southerly
point in its dip.
The Pennsylvania No. vein was de-
scribed and cut off at the fault
The veins east of the east fault were
led off by the north vein, which, the
witness said, first dips to the north
then straightens up, then dips to the
eouth. and in his opinion will unite with
the Windlass vein below the 900 level.
What size is the north vein?" asked
Mr.. Patterson.
1T is comparatively a small vein. II
is from foot and a half to two feet
wide at the surface, widens to a maxi
mum of Is feet when it enters the sui
phide zone, and has an average width of
10 feet there. 1t reaches the east fault
on six levels and in a raise, and is cut
off by the fault
The witness defined an apex as. the
highest point of vein on any cross Sec
ton. Then he modified this upon the
suggestion of Mr.. Patterson that it
might create a misunderstanding, and
it was understood that the definition
applies to the dip of a vein only at the
end of the vein, and then only in cases
where the extension of the vein in its
course is on it's dip.
The Witness said that the diagonal
apices of the east veins would show on
the side of the mountain, running up
and down the wall of the fault, If the
western part of the mountain were to
be sliced off on the plane of the fault.
He declared that the Windlass vein
is the most regular, orderly and we'll
behaved vein in the collection, literally
mineralized and cut off at the east
fault under which it has the felicity to
apex in good, diagonal form, along with
its select congeners.
The witness introduced a photogra phi
of the face of the diagonal apex of the
Winlass vein as it appears under the
east fault, and a photograph of the
ground where the Johnstown vein is al
smooth and level. innocent of an out
crop and a specially nice place for a
tennis ground.
The vertical vein that comes down 10
the fault in a raise north of the ~
raise, and the vein that comes UP the
" raise, were the subjects of consider
able attention from the witness. He
said that the vein in the 451 raise is
the same as the vein in the ~ raise be-
tween the faults.
The ore body between the faults on q
plane Approximately between the raise
that comes down from above and the
one that comes up from below is a
small, dry, fragmentary, distorted seam
and is absolutely disconnected from ev-
cry vein east or west of the faults So
the witness stated. He said that an
other vein showing in this neighborhood
has no connection with the north vein.
1t is west of the faults.
Mr. Akers said that the Berkeley Vein
starts at the Berkeley shaft and d.
verges from the Windlass vein. 1t is a
| branch of the latter ore body.
For what distance can you trace
the Berkeley vein on it's course?" asked
Mr.. Patterson.
| For distance Of about 440 feet APP
| proximately. 1t is continuous and reg
| ular throughout" said the witness.
