and several others. The work / did
there was in the nature of underground
development and work with reference
to litigation
In connection with your work have
you studied veins and ore bodies?"
Yes, sir
Have you visited the ground in con-
tention in this case, and examined it?''
Yes, sir
when were your first and last visits
made?"
THE first was year ago, and l have
made several since"
The witness stated that he had famil-
iarized himself with the surface boun-
daries of the claims in dispute, and he
pointed out the bounds of the claims on
the general map. He said he had also
familiariZed himself with most of the
ground and that he had examined and
become acquainted with the veins and
apexes in the Rarus and Johnstown
ground.
The witness traced the apeXes of the
Johnstown, the Rarus and the North
Connecting veins on the surface, using
a surface map for the purpose. He de-
scribed the surface workings that en-
abled him to trace the apeXes, and To-
Gated the surface cuts and tunnels,
showing the veins.
He stated that the Johnstown vein
crosses the west end line of the johns
town claim about 300 feet north of the
south side line He gave the varying
distances at which the three veins in
the Johnstown and Rarus ground cross
the west end lines of the Johnstown and
Rarus claims north of the south side
lines. He traced the Johnstcwn discov-
cry vein underground on the Rarus $50
level out through the west end line of
the Johnstown. Then he traced it the
other way through and beyond it's in
tersection with the Rarus vein to shaft
No. on the eastern boundary of the
Johnstown.
He stated that the west end workings
of the Johnstown on the 450 level We're
reached by shaft No. 8; and by means
of cross-section IT, described the west
workings from the $50 level to the sur
face, showing how the veins apex in
both the Johnstown and Rarus ground,
by following them to the surface.
He followed the Johnstown vein,
traced from above, from the 700 level
down to the 500, to what he said ap-
pears to be the limit of naturalization
on the south. This point is near the
foot of raise No. 81. There is a bundle
of seams passing to the east here. Lit
tie veins offset from the main ledge.
After this the witness traced the
Rarus vein on the 450 level from west
to east from the st. Lawrence boun-
dairy on the east to and out of the
southeast corner of the Rarus. 1t was
shown to pass through the Rarus,
Johnstown and Johnstown-C Compromise
claims.
He said that from shaft No. on the
Rarus mine he could pass down on the
Rarus vein by means of different open
ings to the 600 level, and he followed
the vein from the dry room raise east
ward to the $50 raise, and thence to the
surface at the southeast corner of the
Rarus. He said that the North Con-
Meeting vein can be traced on the 40 feet
level at the west end line of the Rarus
and through all the levels down to the
800 level east to where it connects with
the Rarus vein.
