Show THOMAS 1403 ( VABLEY VARLEY ) For Defendant ( Record , vol . 31 , pp . 5425-5433 ) He resides at Salt Lake City and his business which he has followed since 1899 is that of a mining and metallurgical engineer . At the present time , he is associated with the Big Indian Copper Company that is owned by the Loose and Smoot interests . It is a ( low-grade lowgrade ) copper ( de- de ) posit in sandstone , the copper being disseminated throughout in the form of azurite and malachite , with occasional amounts of cuprite and a small amount of metallic copper . He ( doesn't doesnt ) know how long the deposit has been known but the evidences are that as long as ( twenty-five twentyfive ) years ago there were shafts sunk at various places on the property , and several tunnels run . ( R . 5425-5426 . ) About five years ago , they did some churn and core drilling to . determine the extent of the deposit . That showed there were evidently two deposits or two different strata which contain the copper . The one on top is approximately 40 to 60 feet in depth and comes to the surface , and then a deposit of clay which varies in thickness from 4 to 20 feet and below that is another deposit of copper slightly less in value than the upper strata . The lower deposit shows on the drill cores anywhere from 20 to 40 feet in thickness . . The copper content of the ore as determined from samples he has gathered and from samples of about three thousand tons which have been milled lately , |
