Your money back at your grocer's if you do not er Sweat, Ground Squirrel, Moulton and Ramsdell-Parrot. Be was working at the Never Sweat now. He had worked in the St.

Lawrence eight years and in the Anaconda four years, and loft the St. Lawrence four years ago. He had been making an examination of the Rarus for about two weeks for the purpose of ascertaining whether there were one or more lodes on that ground. He was positive the ore body was all one lode. He had found the foot wall west of shaft No.

1 in a crosscut. It was as well defined a foot wall as there was in the camp. "What is the material from the foot-wall to the stopes?" "It is low grade ore but it is all pay ore." "Where did you find the hanging wall?" "About 15 or 20 feet east of the Free Milling raise. It is shown plainly in the Snohomish drift. "Have you seen clay seams dipping to the west?" "Yes, sir." "Would you call them faults?" "No, faults throw the lode but the seams do not.

A clay seam does not interrupt the continuity of the lode. It does not cut off the ore." Witness designated the footwall of the St. Lawrence on the same bodv of ore as the Rarus. The Anaconda, St. Lawrence and Rarus were all on the same lode.

"What similarity is there between the St. Lawrence and Rarus lodes?" "The Rarus is the same kind of country I have seen at the St. Lawrence." "Is the netting of seams characteristic of the St. Lawrence. "Yes." On cross examination witness said he had quit work at the Never Sweat mine a month ago.

"You are now employed at the Rarus?" Mr. Forbis asked. "No, sir." "You can be though if you wish, can't you?" "Well, if I was out of work I would look for a job there as well as elsewhere." "How wide is the ledge at the 200 level of the St. Lawrence?" "About 110 feet at the east end." Timothy Sullivan, a well known miner of the district, was the next witness. His opinion was also founded on an examination of the Rarus and other lode claims.

W. O'Brien followed Mr. Sullivan on the stand this afternoon. He said he had worked four years at the Anaconda, St. Lawrence and other mines, and had recently examined the workings of the Rarus, in which work he had been employed about 16 days.

He had made an examination of the foot and hanging walls of the mine. He had found the hanging wall a little east of the Free Milling raise, about 16 or IS feet south. The wall was also disclosed by a drift that ran along the hanging wall and in another place in crosscut south from the Kempsey raise. Between the footwall and hanging wall were bodies of ore and lead matter. The top of the lode between the foot and hanging wall on the 150 was south of the Michael Devitt raise.

The St. Lawrence lode, he believed was the same as the Rarus. He would not call the clay seam of the Rarus a fault, because there was no displacement of ore there, and the ore continued through it on both sides. The Kempsey raise made on the fault was in ore all along the way. The witness was asked if he had eeen any big ledges in Butte, and he replied that he had.

Chief among them he said was the High Ore, in which no hanging wall had ever been found. This mine was worked 300 or 400 feet from the footwall. In the Anaconda he had seen places where the ledge was 21 posts wide and in the St. Lawrence 23 posts or sets wide. This was on the west side of the St.

Lawrence. On cross-examination the witness said he had not worked at the St. Lawrence for four years. It was nine years ago when he worked at the Anaconda. "Is it not a fact that the workings of the St.

Lawrence are only one set wide near the east end line?" he was asked. "Not that I know of." Mr. Forbis then questioned the witness about the big lode at the High Ore, in which no hanging wall had been found. "It is liable to extend as far as Silver Bow creek, then?" the attorney asked. "Well, it might do that." "Then there will be no Rarus or Pennsylvania," replied Mr.

Forbis. Mine Inspector Byrne was giving his testimony at the hour of going to press. "There are two lines." "How wide are they?" About 45 feet each." "You say these stopes are connected by streamers of ore?" "Yes, sir." "Is not the point between the two stopes poorer in mineral than elsewhere?" "Yes; I suppose so. As you get farther away from an ore body of any size the less mineral you find." O. A.

Palmer, a mining engineer of Salt Lake testified that he had examined the Rarus mine. "I found on examination," said he, "that the Rarus zone, which apexes on the Rarus ground mainly is from 200 to 300 feet wide, dipping south about 70 degrees. The zone consists of ore bodies and fissures, and ore bodies are found all through it. The central part of the zone consists of mineralized granite. There is a series of fissures and joint planes in the zone.

The larger ore bodies are tied together. There is also found in the zone considerable quantities of quartz porphyry. The upper part of the zone has been oxidized so that it contains very little of value. The sulphide ore is found below the 300 level. In the zone the granite is altered and softened near the surface." "Do these circumstances show you that this is one lode?" "Yes, sir." "Where does this zone apex?" "It crosses the east end line of the Rarus and the east end line of the Johnstown most of it." "What about a fault?" "There are two fault planes running across the zone.

"You can start on 450-foot level of the Devitt raise and pass westerly beyond the windlass incline and across the stopes, following ore all the time. "Some of the ore bodies are found along-the hanging and foot walls-, but other ore bodies are found in the central portion of the zone. All the ore bodies in the zone are connected by interlacing and intersecting veins and bodies of ore. Mineralized granite is found all through the zone, some of it being low-grade and some high-grade to make commercial ore. "In the 60-foot level of the Devitt a drift is sent westerly through crushed quartz, which, so close to the surface is practically valueless.

This level is also connected by a short cross-cut from the M'chael Devitt shaft to the Devitt raise. The raise has been continued to the surface. "What is your conclusion as to conditions below?" "They are just the same, only above, the oxidation has taken place and the values have been leached away, but when you get down below the 300 level where sulphide ore can be found, the fissure conditions are just the same." "Is not a large portion of the lode at the 450 composed of material that is not commercial ore?" was asked on cross-examination. "It is all mineralized." "Most of it, however, is not merchantable ore?" "That holds good of all broad zones everywhere. I never saw a broad zone in which there was not only a small portion of it merchantable ore." "Can you connect the two big ore bodies by commercial ore?" "Yes; I can do so." HURST'S DEPOSITION.

He Testifies in the Interest of the Defense in a Mining Suit. The deposition of S. W. Hurst of Kansas City in the suit of Lee Mantle against Patrick A. Largey for the recovery of an interest in the Speculator mine was received yesterday by the clerk of the district court.

Mr. Hurst is a witness for the defence. In the document Hurst says he remembers a certain lease and bend on the Speculator secured by him November 23, 18S5; that he made another deposition in the same matter September 13, 1S97. He says there was no collusion or agreement of any kind between Largey and himself or anybody else. Had never heard Mr.

Mantle's name mention in the matter until the suit was begun. Patrick A. Largey, said he, had no interest in the lease and bond referred to prior to the time it was transferred to him. Hurst further alleges that the lease and bond were taken by him in good faith. He had, however, only a half interest in it, Dave Upton having the other half.

"Patrick A. Largey, as my agent," says Hurst, "had charge of the work on the Speculator during the period of the lease and bond taken in the name of Charles Stewart, in March, 1885. Largey disbursed the funds as. my agent. They amounted to about $3,000.

I was indebted to Largey about $2,000. It was prior to the time the lease and bond were taken in my name that a settlement was made between us and I came out $2,000 in debt." "In your former deposition you stated that you did considerable work on the mine under bond and lease and that you contracted with J. H. Duffy to do the work on the mine. Now state who paid Duffy." "I did it through Largey.

He had money enough of mine to pay Duffy." The document is alleged to have been sworn to before J. K. Cottingham, a notary public. LOST OR STRAYED. A Mother Offers $25 Reward For the Recovery of Her Boy.

When the trial of the mining suit of E. Rolling Morse vs. the Montana Ore Purchasing company was resumed in the United States court this morning the cross examination of O. A. Palmer the Salt Lake expert was begun by Attorney Forbis.

"What is the width of the lode at the east end line of the Rarus?" he -was asked. Mr. Palmer measured from the foot to the hanging wall on the map and replied "230 feet." "What did you find in the crosscut of the north vein?" "There is a seam there carrying ore up the whole width of the drift up to the last 20 feet where there is another seam with considerable clay in it. The seams in the east end line of the Rarus are a portion of the zone. The seams cut the foot wall." "Do you think the faults have altered the zone?" "No I do not.

The faults probably effected a more complete mineralization." "Is It the same lode?" "Unquestionably it is. There is an ore connection all the way through. All the workings are in identically the same lode. "What is the general inclination of the vein at the 700 between the fault?" "It llattens out, as it does in all deep levels and has an inclination of 50 degrees against 70 degrees higher up. It is a gradual curve." Witness was asked if there should be a vein on the Pennsylvania ground 125 feet south of the Rarus side lines, if he would consider that vein a portion of the Rarus vein.

He replied that he would. The witness, however, said that he had no knowledge of there being such a vein. "If you desire to go into the Pennsylvania ground to see a lode of that character we will invite you to do so." remarked Mr. Forbis. "Well, I'll accept that invitation," replied the witness.

"You say the faults do not interrupt the continuity of the ore body?" "They do not." "What are the pecularities of a hanging wall?" "The fading out of the mineralization and the changing from a more or less soft granite to a hard granite, showing that you are on the limits of the mineralization. Then it is irregular in pitch and outline. It is simply where the mineralization ceases." "Is it not a fact that the hanging wall of the Rarus has a southerly dip. If so it should be further to the south at the 700 foot than at the GOO." "Not necessarily so. It changes sometimes." The witness stated that the Batter-man raise was on a spur coming out of the lode.

It was run in sulphide ore to the top or 450 drift where the ore faded out. "What of the raise from the 450 to the 600 level?" "It goes through ore. It is nearly all high grade or smelting ore." "What about the 700 in the same streak?" "The ore there is in the same vein, but not necessarily in the same streak. Some of the streaks straighten out as they go down." On redirect examination by Mr. Vaile the witness said that the ore bodies of the Rarus and Mountain View diverge going east.

This was very noticeable from the outcrop. The crosscuts between the two ore bodies show several hundred feet of non-mineral bearing rock. "Assuming that there is a vein (as counsel for the plaintiffs states) not connected with the Rarus but lying parallel with the hanging wall of the 700 of the Rarus and assuming that it extended in an easterly direction what have you to say of the material intervening?" "I should say it bore the same relation as the ground intervening between the Rarus and Mountain View and was probably country rock." Jerry Cooney was the next witness. He said he had thirty years experience as a miner and had mined in Butte 17 years. He had worked at the National, Mountain Con, Anaconda, St.

Telephone 185. Jerry Murphy Arrests Andrew Shasser, A RESIDENT OF EAST BUTTE Ua Suspicion of Having: had a Hand in the Robbery of Montana Union Cars. Under Sheriff J. D. Murphy went down to Fast Butte this afternoon and arrested Andrew Shasser, a saloon keeper, on a charge of receiving stolen property.

Shasser was consigned to the interior of the county jail. The prisoner has for several days been suspected of having had at least a fighting interest in the pilfering of ore from Montana Union cars, and this morning the suspicion of the officer was doubled by the finding of a pile of the missing ore in a shed at the rear of Shasser' place of business. On top of the ore were twenty-one empty ore sacks which the Parrot smelter people identified as being similar if not exactly like some in whicii ore had had been sold to them by the Shasser crowd. The ore and sacks came from the Silver Star mine in Jefferson county, and the pile found in Shasser's shed was valued at $100 or $500, being quite rich in gold. Shasser is the fourth man arrested in connection with the robbery, the other three having been taken in out of the wet by the sheriff's officers two or three days ago.

The gang is now about broken and it is claimed that the proof against those under arrest is rather convincing. TWO "DOCS" SCRAP. They Had a Lively Set-to With Bare Knuckles Last Evening. A heavy blow in the face and another in the region of the solar plexus succeeded in knocking out Dr. C.

V. Norcross, the well-known physician of the Owsley block, yesterday afternoon, in the Ven-dome restaurant on West Park street. The knock-out of the physician was accomplished by Dr. W. E.

bodd, who is equally as well known in professional circles. The encounter was the liveliest kind of an affair, and gore flowed around the dining-room of the restaurant until it resembled a slaughter house. Dr. Dodd, is is said, was the aggressor, and the assault was due to an alleged slanderous remark made by his victim. For some time Dr.

Norcross and Dr. Dodd have cherished anything but a brotherly feeling for each other, and neither of them allowed an opportunity to escape to state their opinion of each other. At times mutual friends have conveyed these expressed criticisms to both of the physicians, but each appeared to have never taken any interest in the whisperings. Yesterday, however, the affair culminated In a battle royal between the physicians and Dr. Norcross received severe punishment at Dr.

Dodd's hands. The men encountered each other in the Vendome restaurant. Dr. Dodd and a companion were the last to enter the restaurant and Dr. Dodd with his companion joined Dr.

Norcross at the same table. Some remarks of Dr. Dodd angered Dr. Norcross and the latter used an objectionable phrase. Dr.

Dodd for a repiy struck Norcross aornss the table, and then the men clinched, chairs were overturned and a general melee followed. Norcross was led away bleeding, while Dr. Dodd escanerl without a ci-ith a duel is looked for by the friends of the participants. BUTTE COAL COMPANY Tel. 477.

After the cross-examination of C. S. McHenry had been concluded yesterday evening, M. F. Kennedy took the stand, lie said he has been a miner 18 years, of which time he worked 14 years in Butte.

He had examined the Rarus mine, but never worked there. He examined it about four weeks. At the 150-foot level he saw the footwall at the east end line crosscut. He also found it on the 450, where it is developed quite a ways. At the Pennsylvania shaft and crosscut he saw the hanging wall up to a point 84 feet north of the north side of the shaft.

He examined the lower workings of the mine. At the 450-foot level he found large stopes. He placed the hanging wall at about the foot of the Free Milling raise. The country between the points he designated as the foot and hanging walls, was ore. It was not all pay ore.

There are three lines of stopes connected by a number of diagonal and vertical seams of ore. He had not counted the number of seams. They vary from two or three inches to a couple of feet. He saw the faults or slips, but could see no displacement of ore caused by them. The Free Milling raise goes through both faults.

Itaise 102 and the Kempsey raise go through one of them. It is stoped through the fault on the Kempsey raise. From his examination of the mine the witness considered the mine one large lode rather than several distinct veins. The witness had worked in the Pacific, Park, Gray Rock and other mines. The Pacific mine has a large lead, but the body of ore is not so large as in the Rarus.

It is more together, not scattered so much. At one place in the Pacific the width is 127 feet between the walls. It is not unusual in Butte to have these wide zones. The footwall or hanging wall rock contains black mica, which is not found in the lead. On cross-examination the witness said that at the 300 the Pacific lode was 127 feet wide.

"Don't you know that the width of that vein was caused by a fault which widened out the ore vein?" "No, in the Rarus mine, has not the fault displaced the ore?" "No, sir; the clay seam running between has affected the continuity of the ore, but there is no difference in the ore on either side." "How do the ore veins in the camp lie "All the veins I have noticed on this side of the Alice dip south." "How many lines of stopes are there.
