TO the Stand in Trial
of Nipper Case.
BLUE X VEIN AGAIN
Expert Declares 1t Is the
Formation in the Pro-
perty in Dispute.

William A. Akers, the defendants third
expert witness, began giving his testimony
i'll the Nipper case today.
The second expert finished n few min
utes before noon, and Mr.. Akers then took
the stand. He did not get well started
until the afternoon session. however.
Mr.. Akers, who testified he had been min
ing man and mining engineer for ~ years,
perfectly agreed with the experts for the
defendants who preceded him in his opin-
ion that the vein formation in the Nipper
claim is the Blue y vein and no other.
lie also agreed with his confrcres in his
testimony to the effect that the vein
crosses the Npper claim on a diagonal
strike, with a dip TO the southwest. and
intersects both the north and the south
side line and is remote from both end
lines.
Traces the Vein.
Mr.. Akers traced the blue vein from
the west end line of the Little Nina claim,
which is northwest OF the Nipper, across
the claim to the southeast and across the
Npper to the southeast, and still south
east across the corner of the Oden claim
TO the west end line Of the Anaconda
claim.
1T is beautifully marked. clearly defined
and ore-bearing," concluded Mr.. Akers,
when he had pointed out twenty or more
places in the workings where the vein is
developed. and described its width, dip,
strike and distance OF exposure.
When Mr.. Akers opened his evidence
he testified that he had been connected
with mining companies in various parts
of Montana, Colorado and Utah.
Under the Wash.
Then Mr.. Akors traced the Blue X
vein in the apex drift and told where it
could be seen under the wash in Nippcr
No. shaft a little under the surface

Then Mr.. Akers traced the vein down
$50 level. lie said the Little Nina shaft
follows it down, and that the vein is
found in many workings below the sur
face.
He followed it down the workings in the
the workings in the Little Nina to the
900 level of the Neversweat, thus show
ing it all the way from the Little Nina
at the northwest to the Anaconda At the
southeast, crossing the Nipper and cutting

this year will be almost the same as those
of last year except that the cross bar sup
