Show Blake- D 519 Q Have you crossed it at low water? A Yes sir. Q And how deep would you say it was? MR. FARNSWORTH: We object to this as irrelevant and immaterial, and as incompetent for any purpose. Depth of a stream, even if it has exactly the same amount of water, will depend so much oh the contour of the particular locality. SPECIAL MASTER: I suppose depth of the stream has some bearing on the navigability. Depth is caused by so many different factors, unless you explain the thing, it seems to it would have very little bearing, and seems to me it is so far away from the locus as to have no pertinency. That doesn't appear to me at the present time. I think he may go ahead and answer that question. A Well, I have forded the river with a wagon; I have waded it, and I have walked across it dry- shod at one time. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q This is all how many miles from Bluff? A I think about one hundred and fifty miles; I couldn't say accurately. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Blake, from what point did you get your supplies for your store? A Well, we got supplies from Farmington, that is, when we were out on the reservation; we got supplies from Gallup. Q Did you ever get any off the San Juan river? A We crossed the San Juan river and took supplies to the store 2485 |
