blanket, tiem which he so aptly named II,
clear across the Pennsylvania claim, inside
the injunction area. iui he also testified
that II was mostly imaginary so far as
his knowledge of il was concerned.
There were hundreds Of feet OF pink
lines on lIein2c's maps which were sup
posed To show the vein but which really
were imaginary drawings, connecting one
bunch of ore with another hundreds of
feet remote from it. the ground between
being solid and its contents invisible to
the human eye and unknown Of Tower or
anybody else.
II Has Changed Since.
Tower also testified that, while he had
fixed the hanging wall Of the Johnstown
Discovery vein AT one point III 1900, he
now fixed 1t al another point $40 feet to
the south Of where he had fixed it before
He was very 10th to give the distance be-
tween the two points.
But finally he was constrained 10 admit
that the wall has moved over a sixteenth
OF a mile III four years, in his view.
Tower was on the stand at noon when
Judge Clancy adjourned the hearing till
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. George w. Tower llcinze's second
expert witness, the gentleman who changed
his views Of the geology Of this district
after becoming an employc OF t. Augustus
llcinZc, and who eontradicted his state
mcnt Of the geology in the geological folio
he furnished the United States govern
ment, after he became witness in the
llenzc cases, was on the witness stand
undergoing cross examination by Attorney
John i. Forbis when the case opened this
morning.
Mr. Forbis took up the subject Of the
ore exposures and the projections by which
llcinze Is endcayoring TO found what his
witnesses naively call a "blankct vein"
that will start in the Rarus claim at the
surface and spread out over the entire
Pennsylvania claim, within the east and
west boundaries OF the injunction area,
and thus cover, blanket and absorb all the
ore deposits in that claim which may exist
under its projected folds
II was revealed after much questioning,
that in Mr.. Towers knowledge, as stated
III his answers, there is streak Of ore
five or ten feet wide, made up OF fat and
lean strcaks, otherwise high and low grade
strips Of ore, at one spot on the GOO level,
which, in the opinion of Mr.. Tower, is a
part Of the blanket vein as it dips down
through the Pennsylvania claim, heading
soulhward from the surface Of the Rarus,
as il descends
Further questioned, Mr.. Tower said
there was little ore in crosscut on the
500 level above, which also took part, in
his view, in the spectacular panorama Of
the grand moving and projected blanket
vein"
Mr.. Tower said there was no ore ex.
posed between those two points none
that would show a connection between
them none at all. The maps, however, OF
the plaintiff, Hcinze, however, show the
vein carried, by projection" from one
point to the other, thus keeping the
blanket vein beautifully intact
Mr. Forbis wanted to know what the
distance was in the ground between the
two points. through which the maps and
the witness carried the connecting and
projected line Of imaginary vein, and the
witness measured the plan map, and re-
Piled:
zone hundred and eighty or 100 feet"
Measure your cross-section map, and
tell me how far it is on that" the lawyer
said.
That was done, and the witness replied:
1T is 23s feet"
"How is that" inquired Mr.. Forbis.
The witness explained that the first
measure was on the level, that is, on .
horizontal surface while the latter meas
ure was both horizontal and perpendicular,
the points not being directly in vertical
line.
ooh, so the true distance is a35 feet"
said the lawyer, and the witness was con-
strained to admit the fact.
There were no developments of ore in
distance of 23s feet of the imaginary and
projected blanket vein in this quarter. The
witness also admitted that the ore on the
500 level had to be projected I4o feet west
ward to get it in line with the injunction
plane,
Mr.. Forbis adyerted to the fact that
none of the plaintiffs cross"secton maps
had been located across the Pennsylvania
claim in the locality where the extraction
of ore by the Boston & Montana company,
complained of as an infraction OF the in
junction prohibiting it from mining the
