Claims That the Grant Central Attorneys Have Three Different Theories and Do Not Stay With Their Witnesses His Definitions and Points Illustrated Illus-trated on tho Blackboard f 1 f Nephl Dec 19At last the big Grand Central vs Mammoth case Is ended and nothing remains now but the decision of the court which will likely be handed down by the latter part of this mouth Mr Zane resumed his argument again this morning at 10 oclock and concluded at halfpast 12 He lead Phillips on ore deposits to show that in all cases and In every age of the world the strong Iron outcrop called the Iron hat had been relied I upon by miners and was considered by all classes of miners as the best Indications I In-dications of an outcrop that exists I The other Indications outcrop Mr Zane said consisted of broken lime strongly fissured and the destroyed I bedding of the lime and the broken I prices of lime cemented together with calcite and the strong stains of manganese man-ganese and the seams of manganese I In the fissures showed beyond all question ques-tion that the outcrop running northward north-ward through the Mammoth claim from the Cunningham stope as far as an outcrop was claimed by the Mammoth company DIP AND STRIKE Mr Zane then took up the discussion I of the dip and strike of tho vein and went through all thc maps and exhibits and the testimony of the different witnesses wit-nesses bearing on this very important point in the case In order to show what the dip and the strike of the vein were Mr Zano crosssectioned upon the blackboard the vein at every hundred feet for the distance of COO feet lie began at the Golden King shan and slope over 400 feet south of the Silvcropolls end lines extended and crosssectioned northward for a distance of 300 feet beyond the Silver opolls end line extended and showing the vein by actual crosssections on the maps descending Into the earth at the angle first of 70 degrees and then flattening to GO and G5 degrees On each crossseetion he showed the dyke wasthe hanging wall of the vein to the 100foot level and between the 500 and the 500foot levels the dyke passed > through the vein and below that the vein to the westward of the dyke Then he read authorities detjn lag the strike of the vein ns the line of ii level running alone the vein and the dip of the vein as being the course downward through the earth at right angles to the strike and then showed that it was Impossible for a level to be run along the vein descending cop SLantly into the earth at the angle of Co degrees and therefore what the Grand Central company claimed as the strike was simply going down on the dip of the vein which was found to be constant for over 600 feet by the cross bectjons put upon the blackboard by him He then said that although the witnesses wit-nesses for the Grand Central company had all of them sworn that the vein was constantly descending Into the I earth at the angle of G5 degrees upon its strike and that the hanging wall along this descent of the vein was the apex of the voln descending into tile earth at flirt annie nnI rmv > il lirvlrmu the attorneys for the Grand Central i company had descried their witnesses because Mr Brown claimed that he strike was the line of a level run along the vein and Judge Henderson asserted as-serted that where their vein went Into the earth as they claimed on its strike this was a horizontal level through it and Mr DIckson look a totally different differ-ent ground because he said that this descent Into the earth was not on the slrlke aL all but was simply the pitch or rake of an oic chute In the vein RAKE OR PITCH Mr Zane then read authorities to show what the rake or pitch of an ore chute In a vein was that the ore chute In the vein had the same dip as the vein but instead of following down on the line of the dip the oro chute departed de-parted either to the right or the left of the line of true clip and hence the tingle of pitch was taken by drawing a line in the plane of the vein from the surface sur-face and the dip was shown by drawing draw-ing a line from the same point at right angles to the strike hlong the course downward of the ore and the angle made by the two Bites was the angle that the ore chute pitched and that these two lines were necessarily In the plane of the vein And theiefore from Mr Dlcksons admission Mr Zane said It was conceded that this ore chute was not on the strike of the vein at all but was on the dip of the vein departing de-parting to the right or left from the true line of the dip lie characterized the theories of the attorneys on the other side on the question of the dip and strike as being wild Mr Zane then complimented tho court for his patience and courtesy and closed All the attorneys and litigants return re-turn on this afternoons train to their respective homes |
