hardly enough to jolt 1t out of the
case. That it exists, or something
of the kind exists, was proven. II
Is probably group of faults, rather
than one great fault, easily corrella-
table with great fault in the Tono-
pah Company's territory. One dis
tlnguished witness called IL eccentric
and said 1t was subject to undula-
tions. dawson, 1881, 1060.) II had
the effect of shearlng the "halo" on
the north side and of lowering the
Mizpah Trachyte surface on that Side.
at least in the vicinity of the anti.
clinal axis, from which It may safely
be inferred that the "halo" was once
IN much more regular condition
than at present, much less broken
and crushed, and much more exten-
sive. AS the Mizpah Trachyte Sur
face exists now, the halo reaches 1t.
This is illustrated on West End
cross sections B. C and D, and by the
Section Maps corresponding to glass
sections |, 3 and 4; and is strongly
suggested to all the other Section
Maps corresponding to the glass
sections, which show the trachyte
over the vein to be very thin. AS
the Mizpah Trachyte Surface existed
before affected by the faults, the
quartz of the halo reached it, be-
cause the halo must have been more
extensive then than now and must
have been carried down on the north
with the trachyte. Therefore. IL the
vein is referable to the present Miz-
pah Trachyte Surface, it has out
crops of quartz on that surface: If
referable to the Mizpah Trachyte
surface before the faulting, it had
out crops of quartz on that surface.
The models and section maps indi-
cate very strongly that the halo
reached the Original Surface. The
evidence is conclusive that when the
fissures were formed in which, or as
sociated with which, the vein is
found intense shattering occurred
along the inticlinal axis. especially
under the crest. Whatever caused
the formation of the fissures, its ac-
tion was far-reaching enough to
create sub-parallel fissures. (Law.
son, 10000 There are evidences of
three Of these in this case, and per-
haps more, two of which attain to
the dignity of veins, and they are
workable veins, that is, they contain
ore of commercial value One OF
them, the Fraction Vein, is important
enough to be a bone of contention
in another suit. Its crevice was un-
doubtedly a channel of circulation
that reached the surface, through
which channel the ascending mag
netic amanations" sought escape.
The same may be said of the South
Vein. 1t is striking fact that both
these branch veins rise on their dip
into an area which would include also
the quartz bodies in the "A Raises"
unless they crossed each other, which
is very improbable. This area may
! be assumed to lie on the original
surface, and was venting ground Of
4 this great vein and its branches. But
are the veins in the "A Raises" COM
parable with the Fraction Vein?
They are of good size, some of them
probably as thick as the Fraction
Vein in parts of its course. They
contain ore. bradley, 316, 331, 3S8.l
They are respectable and probably
were more so before the playful Sie-
bert Fault came their way. The
quartz in them is not oxidized, which
fact might argue against their hav-
ing reached surface; but half a
dozen explanations can be offered
against any such conclusion, one of
which is that unoxidized veins are
often found that undoubtedly reached
surface when forming, perhaps
some in the Tonopah district De-
/ fore leaving this phase of the case.
