feet north OF the LOO foot line. lie
stated mat he had found a vein under
ground, which was a form OF assure
modified by the peculiar nature OF the
wall outcrop, He agreed with the eX-
perts, who had preceded him on the
stand. as 10 the original formation OF
the yein but said tnat. in some cases
the vein was true tissue. He had
found Two assures along the line OF the
ore In the Grand Central workings from
the most nOrtherly point down To the
line OF connection. There were also
cross assures Proceeding south from
the end OF the Grand Central. II was
noticed, Prof. Jenney continued. that
the beds were curying 20 the east, the
strike OF the beds north OF this point
being south from 80 TO 40degrees east.
Northerly and sOutherly from the point
Of connecting. The strike, he said was
north about 10 degrees west. This was
also the case in the deepest workings In
the disputed territory.
The bounding tissues on the 100 level
OF the Silveropolis ground were about
SO feet apart. between these the ore
bodies were found. He was OF the
opinion that the ore past continuously
through the dyke from the Cummings
ham stope at the south end Of the
Grand Central

Of assures running through the terri

other tis5ure running up from the 500

ana the dip l5 degrees north-north-
east through the Grand Central the
strike was north 10 degrees west and
the dip 20 10 rs degrees 20 the west.

side line OF lot 38, on its strike near the
Golden King shaft, and did not again
re-enter the claim.
