Show Record junction to Little Valley where we started from. I am acquainted with the country down around the Henry 4660 Mountains. I have been in there quite a lot freighting from Green- 4661 river to Hanksville and down to the Henry Mountains. I have visited properties down there and have looked over the showings at dif-ferent places. I saw them mining uranium and vanadium ores and gold. I do not know the size or extent of the deposits. I know about what they are doing, putting out a lot of material there, going at it in a big way. The gold placer work is going on in the Middle Mountains, about 20 miles from the Colorado River. 4663 There is a considerable area of timber in that section. There is timber all over that mountain. The mountain is several 4664 miles in extent. I know about manganese deposits on and near the Green River. About 15 miles down the Green River from Greenriver town on the east side there is manganese. I would say it comes within two or three miles of the river. On the west side there are some deposits that come close to the river. Those deposits were worked during the war and prior to that time. I do not know how extensive 4665 those deposits are. I can tell manganese when I see it, but I couldn't say what grade it was. 4667 In my freighting business I hauled some boats and supplies down to the San Juan. In 1921 I hauled the boats and supplies from Greenriver to Bluff. I put the boats in the river just below Bluff, and left part of the supplies with the boats and took the rest of the supplies to Goodrich, I saw them loading the supplies in the boats. They were not through loading them when I left. It was a Government party with which young Mr. Blake was employed. George H. Franz testified on cross examination as fol- 4668 lows: That was either the Trimble or Chenoewith party. I have seen lots of uranium are. As far as knowing what it is I couldn't tell you. I have seen a lot of vanadium also, but 673 |
