Show I PiE OF ORE NOT A VEIN That Was the Drift of the Evidence Yesterday in the Grand Central I vs Mammoth at NephiThe Agreement for Each to Respect I the Side Lines Again Testified ToHolbrook and Loose on the I Stand a i I I TRIBUNE SPECIAL Nephl Dee GThe testimony of C E Loose manager of the Grand Central Mining company tns tho feature of todays proceedings In the Grand Cen tralMammoth case Mr Loose defined de-fined a vein as ore between two well defined walls and in harmony with the definition gave It as his opinion that there Were no veins In the Grand Central Mammoth Sioux BullionBeck 1 or Eureka Hill mines Ho also declared de-clared that the ore bodies In the Grand Central and Mammoth were not veins in the true sense but were simply pipes I or chutes The other witnesses on the stand chiming the day were W A I Wilson the Grand Central expert whose crossexamination was concluded con-cluded Martin Harkn6ss and Lafay ette Holbrook TV A WILSON the Grand Centra expert who began his testimony on Wednesday afternoon after-noon resumed the eland for further crossexamination when court con veiled this morning Mr Wilson testified testi-fied In answer to questions put by Mr Zane that in an open cut northerly on the Mammoth claim he found Iron stain and calcIte and there might have I beer a little Jasper iron From the apex cave In the south end of lot 28 to the Cunningham stope he found an I outcrop of manganese and calcspar Northerly from the Cunningham stope I he said he found no surface indications indica-tions of a vein Mr Zane next asked as to the tendency ten-dency of the ore In the Grand Central to go westward from the 600 to the 900 level it appearing that the most easterly east-erly point on the GOO level was 95 feat cast of the most easterly point on the SOO the 900 further to the west being in limestone Mr Zancs contention was tliut the vein was west of the limestone I lime-stone on the 900 as shown by the tendency ten-dency above Mr Wilson testified that the apex of the Mammoth vein ascended from the apex cave on the south end of lot SS to the King tunnel and then descended I de-scended to the Cunningham slope the top of the slope being higher than the apex cave From the Cunningham slope to the connection between the two properties the witness considered the hanging wall the apex The highest high-est point on the Butterfly stopo he fixed as the apex In tho Grand Central On the 700 level in the Grand Central the apex was fixed on the roof of the slope at a point which could not be exactly designated TVIr Wilson then traced the apex from the apex cave on lot 38 to the 700 Grand Central level and then rising to the top of the Butterfly But-terfly slope near the COO level in the Grand Central From the Cunningham stope to the 700 level the dip was G5 > degrees Into the earth lie had reached the conclusion regarding the dip of the apex into the earth about a cck before be-fore the trial of the case b > gan You found that opinion yourself Mr Zane then asked It had not been suggested to you by anybody else elseYe Ye the witness replied It was my own conclusion and had not been suggested to mo by anybody else Mr Wilson gave It as his opinion that there had been a break where the ore body turns westerly at the Cunningham Cun-ningham stope but said he had never seen It lie judged that the break hud occurred from the position of tho lime beds Mr Zane next examined the witness on a crosssection between coordinate lines GSOO and 5900 to show that there was ore north of the southerly end line of the Silveropolls The testimony was substantially the same as elicited from Bert Holden when Mr Zane drew the crosssection on the blackboard black-board which appeared in Wednesday mornings Tribune On redirect examination by Arthur Brown Mr Wilson said that the habit of the veins In the Eureka district was to run in a northwesterly direction MARTIN IC IIARKNESS The afternoon session opened by the Grand Central calling Martin K hark ness an expert miner From the northwest corner of the Cunningham I slope north on lot JS Mr sId s-Id he had carefully Inspected the II 1 surface and all cuts on the ground but found no indications of a vein north of the Cunningham stope lie 1 did find iron stains at various points but attached no Importance to them I Mr Harkness gave It as his opinion that there was no vein apexlng In Mammoth lot SS north of the Cunningham I I Cunning-ham slope He then testified as to the I general barren condition of the ground Ito J I-to the north on various levels ore be lag encountered at very few places Mr Harknoss went through continuous ious i-ous sloping he said from the Butterfly Butter-fly slope in tho Grand Central to the Apex tunnel on the south line of JotS Jot-S He gave the strike of the ore bodies bod-ies beginning at the Apex tunnel running run-ning through the Butterfly slope its northern northwesterly and northerly On crosscxamlnallon Mr Harkncsa said that Iron und manganese stains were very common in the cuts on the northerly end of lot 3S on the surface of lot 38 from the Cunningham stope southward The linens then said he found the outcrop of a vein Just above tho Cunningham stope He also found I I rock stained with Iron and manganese I further norlh The stain was not so I pronounced Mr Harkness denied that I I he found any ore In the winze runninG 1 from the Condon tunnel to the Finn I I I tunnel He found a clay seam In the 1 Condon tunnel but Inched no Im 1 I portance to It Mr Ilarkncss admitted I here that the Ontario company ran I I past a clay seam on the 3300foot level and afterward went back and followed I fol-lowed the seam to ore He found ore in the tunnel running I down to the Plummer tunnel Mr Harkness said he found ore at only one point north of the south line of the Silveropolls He did not go down any vine from this level to the 300foot level but denied that he didnt go because be-cause he was afraid of finding ore Mr Harkncss was next asked if ho did not admit to Samuel Mcintyre during his examination of the mine I that the apex was in lot 3S nort of the disputed line Ills answer was an emphatic I em-phatic denial On the SOO level Mr Harkness had found ore at one place going north but did not go down Into two wlii7es which he encountered Mr Ilarkness fixed the dip of the vein from Cunningham stope to the disputed dis-puted ground ns westerly and the strike northerly on the ciosssecllon DD showing the ore from Just below the Cunningham stope to the SOO level I Mr Harkness said that hc could not determine the strike and dip from the map lie insisted generally however that the ore went down into the ground on Its strike from the Mammoth moth ground Instead of Us dip PRESIDENT HOLBROOK The next witness called was L Hoi brook president of the Grand Central Mining company who testified that the gross output of the Grand Central Mining company had been 1400000 Concerning the conversation between I himself and Samuel McIntyre In 1SD8 I I regarding sidelines Mr Holbrook said I I that Samuel Mcintyre and William Mclnlyro agreed with him that the two companies should respect each others side lines In February 1S99 Mr I Holbrook said he discussed the matter again with Samuel McIntyre William McIntyre and J A Cunning ham At that time the Mammoth had I entered the Silveropolls on the GOOfoot level and Samuel Mcintyre declared that he had never agreed not to follow folow his ore and claimed the ore In dispute On crossexamination Mr Holbrook said that the net proceeds had been less than 800000 and that 5530000 had been paid In dividends He could not tell he said what money was on hand now but estimated it at 10000 to 50000 MANAGER LOOSE C E Loose manager of the Grand Central company followed Mr Holbrook Hol-brook and tesllllcd as a miner he was not familiar with the ground northerly from tho Sllvoropolis south end line levels Jn the locality from his examination ex-amination of the main workings he believed the strike of the vein to be Its general course he had been over the surface of lot 3 and determined as to the apex before he purchased the Consort and Silveropolls claims for the Grand Central company His conclusion con-clusion at that time was that the apex was south of the southerly end line of the Silvoropolls extended He reached this conclusion he said from observations observa-tions made upon and adjacent to the Mammoth ground The crossexamination of Mr Loose was conducted by George Sutherland Mr Loose said that he went through a tunnel at the Mammoth with CapL Day in 1SSS Capt Day at that time being In the employ of the Mammoth Ho had found some ore along the levels lev-els running north from the south line of tho Silveropolls but didnt think this Indicated a vein Mr Loose did not call the ore running through tho I Grand Central and Mamomth a vein j but simply a pipe of ore In the limestone lime-stone Mr Loose also said that If he had 3 body of ore there 10000 feet long and going down 1000 feet It would still be a pipe or chute of ore not a vein He also thought a vein could not exist without a welldefined footwall anti hanging wall and would pay no atten = tion to outcroppings unless they were ore The dip of the oro pipe through the properties Mr Loose said was I generally westerly but thero was an eastern dip In the Butterfly SLope Ho further said that similar condition as to pipes of ore prevailed the Sioux BullionBeck and Eur ko Hill and that there were no veins in any of those mines Mr Loose denied that he examined the Mammoth map before 1 tho organization of the Grand Central and paid that ho never discussed the vein south with Superintendent Ncs bitt of the Mammoth except casually he never asked Nesbltt where they wcro working he said or where tho vein was running On redirect examination Mr Loose said that the ore on the 1000foot level was east of the ore on the S level I |
