Show Record John P. Hite testified on re- cross examination as follows: We did not stop at Warm Creek. We just halted. I think there was some coal there. I couldn't say how much - a ton or 3646 more.

The Wyschuhn boats were left at Lees Ferry. I was employed by Wyschuhn as a boatman. 3647 I later saw Mr. Turner on the river at Hite. He had the boat with him. The same boat that I left his with at Lees Ferry.

Up over the top of the canyon above the river there was. We took down by pack- train all of our materials, except the heavy, bulky stuff. That is from one camp to the other, up and down, from Dandy Crossing to Tickaboo and Good 3649 Hope. One winter we had 20 pack- miles that made a round trip every other day. We were carrying principally provisions and supplies. Those trips were made in the winter time.
