Show Ions of gasoline left , which we 40 used up on our downstream trip . ( R . 1741-2 , Vol . 10 . ) Most of our sand bar trouble in operating the ferry occurred in low water periods . ( R . 1747 , Vol . 10 . ) When I made my upstream trip with the Ford motor boat we traveled 16 miles the first day , 24 or 25 miles the second day , and after we had traveled 8 or 10 miles the third day we stopped our journey . ( R . 1755-6 , Vol . 10 . ) The trip with the LaRue party from Green River , Utah , was a commercial undertaking for the puropose of obtaining moving pictures for commercial purposes . ( R . 1758 , VoL 10 . ) ( Juliiis Adins ) F . Stone testified : In 1898 ( I 1 ) went to Glen ( Can- Can ) yon , having invested some money in Mr . ( Stanton's Stantons ) placer mining venture there . I remained six weeks or two months , during which ( time tirne ) about twenty men were employed by Mr . Stanton . There were other prosnectors farther down the river . We had boats that we used for crossing the river and taking supplies , occasionally taking trips down the river ( with -with with ) supplies to other camps which were established from place to place . Mr . Stanton had practically the whole of Glen Canyon surveyed and located for placer claims . Some of his , employes brought a boat up from Lees Ferry by means of rowing and towing . The stage of water was fairly ( uni- uni ) form ( while -while while ) I was there and we had no great flood but bars would shift to greater or less extent with every change in the volume of current . ( R . 1760-8 , Vol . 10 . ) In going from Trachyte Creek down to Lees Ferry we grounded several times . There were not what you would call rapids in that stretch , although at Aztec Creek there is some unquiet water . ( R . 1769 , Vol . 10 . ) The Stanton boat that came up from Lees ( Ferry Yerry ) was 18 or 20 feet long , rather heavily constructed , and propelled by oars . ( R . 1772 , Vol . 10 . ) On my next visit to the river we began our journey at Green River , Wyoming , and went down stream to Needles , California , using four ( 16-foot 16foot ) keel , with a ( 4-foot 4foot ) beam and a depth of about 8 inches and a draft of 5 or 6 inches . There were two men in oneboat and one man in each of the other boats . ( R . 1773-4 , Vol . 10 . ) We left Green River , Utah , on October 11 , taking on new supplies in our boats at that point . The boats were practically open . Between Green Green River , Utah , and ( the -the the ) mouth of the San Rafael there were just a few riffles . I recall no groundings on sand bars and we had no ( -serious serious ) difficulty . ( R . 1781-2 , Vol . 10 . ) |
