A There weer no rapids at all there; there was below; in fact, we were just above these Hanson Creek Rapids; it was not considered a dangerous one at all. Q Now, did Mr. Stanton have some kind of a new hooked on a windless or a cable? A I believe that they did have. Q Did you work on that? A No, I never did. Q Did you ever see it in operation? A No, I don't believe I ever did. They had that scow to load the heavy pieces of material. The machinery for that dredge was especially big and knocked down and they built this scow to haul that up on. You see, it was only a short dis-tance, and in bad water. Q What do you mean by a short distance? A Well, it was less than half a mile, I should think.
