the 600 level and above that elevation.
which docs not apex under The blanket

Heretofore all the evidence of the
llcinzc witnesses has been that the blanket
vein went over 10 the south side line of
the Pennsylvania claim and took all the
ore, because all the vens came mp under it.

feet, and outside Of the latter formation.
He was Of the opinion that this forma-
ton starts in the blanket vein below, hut
he had not seen the junction. The con-
tcntion Of The Boston Il Montana company
is that the vein, which has much sleeper
dip than the blanket vein, comes up from
below and passes through the blanket vein
