As to other cliff dwellings, there were some small ruins underneath huge boulders at the mouth of Piute Creek, and there were some crude wells made up of angular boulders near the 13- foot rapids.

C. and am an associate chemist in the Geological Survey, in the United States Interior Department. I graduated Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts in 1918 and have followed my profession since except one year. Since the early part of 1926 most of my work has been a determination of the quantity of dissolved and suspended matter carried by the Colorado River and its tributaries. In May, 1925, the surveyor sent me to the gaging station at Bright Angel Creek, Grand Canyon, to make a study of methods for determining the quantities of suspended matter carried by the Colorado. Before that time I had made a study of the methods that 3796 had been used by other investigators at several other stations. I spent the period from August 12 to September 21, 1928, at the San Juan station at Goodridge, about 25 miles below Bluff, 3797 Utah. In 1929 I spent from June 7 to 12, at the San Juan Station. Altogether in the last four years I spent about 100 days in field work, observing the methods that were used by the observers. In between times the men stationed at the various places sent in samples. In October, 1925, at the Bright Angel Station they started the collection of regular silt samples and water samples. By silt 3797- A samples we refer to a sample that is taken in a pint milk bottle.
