Tlie uiiue workings and the line in blaclv are as determinedby the engineer of that mine. The mine worlciugs and line in redare as determined by the engineer of the mine. It is assumed thatthe dividing line is not established on the ground, as is oftenDie case. Now a b aiid a b are in reality the one and the sameline; the two positions shown are owing to the ditference in theopinions of the engineers. Tt will be further noticed that the work-ings in black are lifty feet from the line of the same color, and theworkings in red are also fifty feet from its corresponding line. Onthis accouiU the parses interested have some reason to believe thata barrier pillar of 100 feet is reserved. However, owing to the factthat the position of lines
