Show Record were a lot of them just sight- seeing. We hauled camp outfit and equipment down the river for cattle men. The cattle men would have their outfits or camps down the river between No. 1 and No. 2. We hauled they and grain for them, or anything they would happen to want. We hauled some fence posts, a couple of hundred, once. We have hauled for the 5084 cattle men on several occasions. On the trip that I took up the river from Moab with the Chandler, I had no trouble and I did not get caught on any sand bars or anything. We have moved some casings and tools and so forth out from Lockhart recently. That stuff was supposed to go to Cisco. There is talk of drilling a well at Cisco. The Utah Southern Oil Company were going to use this equipment for that well. They plugged the hole at Shafer No. 1. Shafer No. 2 is all torn down and piled up on the river bank at the dock. There is a lot of tonnage there yet, some of it has been moved. The Shafer No. 1 is there intact ready for the resumption of drilling operations. They plugged that hole. The trouble with sand bars or any other condition at and below our dock at Moab has not been of sufficient gravity to cause us any great expense, or to cause us to seriously think of moving 5086 our dock further down. We never bothered about sand bars much any during July and August, other times very little trouble. We made our regular trips as a mile with a few exceptions. Clarence E. Baldwin testified upon re- cross examination as follows: We have had trouble with the ice. That was just below What they call the Bill Board. There is shore ice there. A big piece of shore ice come Loose from the bank, swung around in a narrow place in the river and then the slush ice jammed in there and froze a dam. I have seen the Colorado River frozen ever at Moab once. |
