Show able trouble at the mouth of 45 the Green in getting the Major Powel out of the Colorado and into the Green . We again tied the boat up at ( Wheeler's Wheelers ) ranch . ( R . 1922-4 , Vol . 10 . ) In 1894 ( I 1 ) was with a mining company at a camp 7 or 8 miles below Green River , Utah , when three or four fellows brought the Major Powell up to our camp and there ( aban aban- aban ) doned it . I judge that ( Wheeler's Wheelers ) ranch was about 15 miles below that camp . They took the engine and boilers off the boat and used them in operating a wrecking plant at Green River . ( R . 1924-5 , Vol . 10 . ) In 1892 ( I 1 ) went to Red Canyon on the Colorado and thence 15 or 20 miles down the river to some placer mines in an old ( boat -boat boat ) that I found at Red Canyon . ( R . 1927 , Vol . 10 . ) I went to the San Juan and stayed overnight in 1892 , but ( didn't didnt ) try to wash any gold and saw no boats on the river . ( R . 1929 , Vol . 10 . ) It was winter time and as I remember there was very little water in the stream ; I suppose it was not more than two or three feet wide and possibly a foot deep . ( R . 1932 , Vol . 10 . ) In 1895 ( I 1 ) was again on the Green River 8 miles below Green River , Utah , where I put in an amalgamator ; there ( were Nvere ) some bars and a dry land dredge there . Messrs . ( Gallo Gallo- Gallo ) ¬ way , Flavell and Richards passed along down the river with their boats bound for the canyon . We employed about twenty men at the dredge . Finally we sold the dredge . We had two ( 100-horsepower 100horsepower ) boilers , a steam engine and an electric generator and used coal for fuel . ( R . 1934-5 , Vol . 10 . ) When I made the trip I have mentioned to the San Juan in the winter of 1892 or January , 1893 , ( I 1 ) do not know whether there was snow on the ground or whether there was any ice on the river . If there was then ice and snow then I ( wouldn't wouldnt ) know anything about the amount of water under it and I ( don't dont ) pretend to say anything tbout that ; I do ( re- re ) member that there was open water there , which I judged to be about a foot deep ; I ( don't dont ) know how far the water ( ex- ex ) tended out or under the ice . ( R . 1939-40 , Vol . 10 . ) On the return journey I went to Dandy Crossing but ( can't cant ) ( re- re ) member whether our horses had to swim part of the distance or not when we took them across . ( R . 1940-1 , Vol . 10 . ) The row boat in which I made the trip down the river at that time had oars and coming back upstream with the boat we probably rowed and towed as is usually done on any river .
