Show 6698 Sterling- C 4688 down in 1906. Q Would you say approximately the same water? A No, I would say it was undoubtedly higher in the first part of May than it would be in July, in the middle of July of any year, ordinarily speaking. Q I am asking you no, for your recollection of it. A I can't say anything in regard to recollection; in making that answer I am frank to state I am going on what I know in regard to the flow, the discharge of the stream. Q I wonder if we could get at it this way, could you tell approximately on your first trip? A well, it would be purely and simply a guess; I would say then was probably about six thousand second feet. Q How many on the second trip? MR. FARNSWORTH: I submit -- THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think this is a mere guess. THE WITNESS: Absolutely a guess. MR. FARNSWORTH: It is unfiar to the witness to ask it. THE SPECIAL MASTER: The witness testifies from his general knowledge, I suppose, as a civil engineers that there is more water in May and June than there is in July, and your gauge will show, I suppose.
