In the Silver King Mine occurs a perfect network of veins, concerning which Mr. Hammond testified: “At the time of the uplifting of the liparite, or at some subsequent time, a fault occurred, which separated a wedge-like mass of liparite from the main mountain mass, and this fault plane was generally conceded to be what might be termed the foot wall of the mineral belt, or zone, or lode. Contemporaneously with this faulting a second fault occurred, which separated the overlying brown tufa from the liparite, which fissure forms the overhanging wall of the mineral deposits of the Silver King Mine. At the same time cross fissures were formed in the liparite mass between the two main fissures. Thus there was a main fissure or plane of contact between the brown tufa and the liparite, and a similar fault plane between the segment of liparite broken off and the main mass of the mountain. Between these two main fissures, and throughout the whole mass of this segment of liparite were innumerable fissures, some similar and equal in size to the main fissures, and others forming a finer system of fissures and cracks, extending through the rocks in all directions, leaving it in a broken and disintegrated, and in many places an almost pulverized condition. Although these finer fissures generally had a parallelism with the two main fissures bounding this segment of rock, yet, in many places, these finer seams or fissures run in every direction through the rock, forming a network, or reticulated mass. The mineral-bearing waters have deposited throughout this mass, from wall to wall, the minerals now found within this zone in the form of baryta, carrying silver. The finding of baryta in the shattered planes of the liparite, which is entirely foreign to the rock itself, is sufficient evidence that a crack or space must have existed prior to its deposition, from the solutions which penetrated this broken zone of a once massive rock formation.” [Illustration: _CROSS SECTIONS OF SILVER KING MINE TAKEN FROM COURT RECORDS IN SUIT OF JOHN S.
