| at every 100 feet of descent from the
surface to that point
Then, they would be about 500 feet
apart on the 1000 level, would they not,
Mr.. Bulkly?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
why do you think that Mr.. Hughes?
| There is as much reason to believe that
| they converge as diverge. You can't
| determine that in that manner said
| the witness.
Now, Mr. Bulky, neither of these
| faults is a mineral vein. and neither
| was the means by which nature de-
| posted ore in the rock" said Mr..
| Hughes few minutes minutes later.
NO" said the witness.
The east and west veins had gen.
| eral east and west course, unbroken,
| throughout the ground originally, did
they not?" asked Mr.. Hughes.
Yes" said the witness.
You have called the ground between
| the faults a vein?"
Yes, vein or lode"
What is a vein?"
Il am not lawyer, nor am a thor
| ough geologist, but as a miner, should
in solid rock bounded by walls they call
1t VEIN"
The witness said that the identity of
the east and west veins would not be
destroyed by the simple presence of
cross assures; nor by the spreading out
from the veins of the mineral solutions
into the adjacent rocks; nor by sew
eral veins uniting or crossing on their
strike or dip, going up or down, unless
the interlacing COMPOUNDED them so they
could not be distinguished apart. He
saw little evidence of motion on the
east and west veins. He said that the
upper ores had been leached a good
deal, after the faulting, he thought, but
stated that he did not know much about
the redeDOSitiOn of the minerals
Couldn't the teaching carry down the
minerals and enrich the crushed ore?"
asked Mr.. Hughes.
TT might. I could not say" said the
witness.
And the dragged ore?'
well. that's matter I feel pretty
sure about. 1t would not"
Can you tell whether the veins away
from the faults and not connected with
them have been subjected to re-enrich-
ment?"
mo. I know the uppor portions Of
the veins have been leached out, but
do not know what became of the min
erals"
We'll, then, Mr.. Bulky, you will not
say that there are not rich ore bodies
down to the 700 level, deposited there
since the faulting?"
II won't say there are not. But / do
say that I'm confident no deposition of
the fault assures were formed"
But you have got ore mineralized
since the teaching dragged ore?'
NO sir
The witness explained that the upper
ores had been leached, but that he did
not know if there had been a redeposi-
ton Of ore from that. II there had
been, the fault assures ought to show
it.
Don't you find any such condition."
asked Mr.. Hughes.
No, SIR
The witness said that there had been
slight westerly displacement along
with the northerly and vertical dis
placement, but he could not give the ex-
tent of it without calculation. He ad-
mitted that it was a necessary element
in the computation made in order to
correlate the disputed veins. He said
that he had allowed so feet for error in
his correlation of the veins. He said
that he had correlated the north vein,
east of the faults, with the north con-
Meeting vein, west of the faults. There
was discrepancy in the correlated re-
lation. but he did not know the extent
of it in feet. He named a number of
sets Of easterly and westerly veins that
