I supposed"
rs there not large working extend
ing across the fault at this point?''
Yes: there is an excavation on both
sides"
The witness said he could not see the
actual contact of the No. s vein with
the west fault, owing to very great
caving there.
The veins east of the east fault COM
manded attention. There is a little vein
al the north that is cut out of the drift
that comes to the fault at the fault,
and going east from the fault. the drift
is caved and inaccessible, so the vein
could not be traced.
Two or three other streaks southwark
of this were discussed, and the witness
testified that either of the workings did
not go to the fault. He had not ex-
amined the workings running between
the faults.
Now came the 600 level. The wit
ness said he could not reach the west
fault on the northernmost of the west
series of veins on that level. The next
vein to the south was not visible to
him at the fault either. There We're
openings at the fault on the next veins
to the south, but the witness could
not tell whether the slopes were on
both sides of the fault or not. He saw
one vein cut off at the fault in slopes
above the fault, he said.
to the south do not reach the fault.
Farther south than this there is vein
inside the faults that run west to the
west fault
What is the situation there at the
fault?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
There is five feet Of crush there"
said the witness.
rs there a clay scamp
Yes, sir
Which side is the breccia on?"
Both sides"
''And when you pass through the
fault to the west, what do you find
there?"
There is a vein there"
Does it come up to the fault?"
Eyes"
What is the relation between these
veins at the fault?"
"They are unlike in several respects.
The vein inside the fault is two feet
wide and has dip of from 6S to 70
degrees. The vein west of the fault
has dip of AZ degrees"
There is vein west of the last.
What is it's dip?"
"Forty-eight degrees at one point ana
55 farther west"
There is also a vein still farther to
the west. What Is the dip of it?"
TT has a dip of 55 degrees"
Its dip is similar to that of the one
inside the faults then?'
Eyes, SIR"
THE three veins west of the faults
are branches Of one vein, are they?"
Either that or separate VEINS
"Then you have three branches of a
vein varying 20 degrees in dip in a dis
lance of 80 feet?''
mo, sir The first vein to the west
of the faults is cut off from the others
by a subsidiary fault" ....
The east series of the east and west
veins on this level were handled as
those on the west.
Then the 7OO-level map was pulled
down and the witness pointed out and
described the openings at the faults
that he examined. He was in drift
at the west fault on the Powder vein.
Were there any stopings crossing
the fault at that point?" asked Mr..
Hughes.
II saw none" said the witness.
The description of the veins on the
700 level as they relate to the faults
took up considerable time. The Iron
vein west of the west fault is only car
| ried by working up to within 40 feet
Of the west fault, and cannot be seen
at the fault, the witness said. The
next west vein is go feet south Of the
Iron vein. This vein changes its strike
about 45 degrees from a tangent to-
| ward the north as 1t approaches the
west fault The openings on this vein
do not continue to the next fault on
this level either. There is vein be-
tween the faults here and also sup
| Elemental fault and the witness de-
scribed the vein.
The next witness communicated the
detailed informa ton he had gathered
concerning the veins east of the east
fault on the 700 level The rehearsal
bore particularly on whether and how
the veins come to the east fault; the
slopes and other openings at the fault
and the veins or ore bodies inside the
fault that might be in opposition to
those outside.
The witness described the number s
vein as it comes to the west fault or
from the west and a vein inside the
faults in opposition to it on this level:
What are the dips on these veins?'
asked Mr.. Hughes.
1.-The vein inside the faults has a
mean dip of IS degrees. The vein out
side has a dip of Al degress,' said the
witness.
He said that the number vein, go
ing west, changes its dip to 55 then
60 degrees and reaches a dip of 20 de-
grees at point 179 feet to the west.
1T changes clear around and dips
the other way on it's way up, does it
not?" said Mr.. Hughes.
Yes said the witness.
| There is no rule by which the dip
of vein as it proceeds into unopened
ground can be predicted, is there?"
No, sir; I think it is matter of
| judgment every time
The veins on the 500 level were treat
ed in the same fashion as those on the
other levels
| The witness had not concluded his
testimony when the case was adjourned
| until 10 o'clock this morning.
