s

mined only from the seams in the rocks. </

<
s
>For example, if a principal

vein runs from the east to the west, the rock seams descend in depth
<
lb
/>
likewise from the east toward the west, and the associated vein which
<
lb

joins with the principal vein, whether it runs from the south or the north,
<
lb

has its rock seams extending in the same way as its own, and they do not
<
lb

conform with the seams in the rock of the principal vein—which remain
<
lb

the same after the junction—unless the associated vein proceeds in the same

direction as the principal vein. </
s

<
s
>In that case we name the broader vein the
<
lb

principal one, and the narrower the associated vein. </

<
lb

vein splits, the rock seams which belong respectively to the parts, keep
<
lb

the same course when descending in depth as those of the principal vein.</
