Show Record were prepared, and includes a tabulation by stage and river systems. Dated February 28, 1929. In connection with Exhibit 2, and the proposed improvement of the Green River and Colorado River below Greenriver, Utah, there is a power site indicated at about the feet of Cataract Canyon. 4051 I assume that is the Dark Canyon Power Site. It would apparently back water up to the junction and would destroy the rapids in Cataract Canyon. Next is a dam site and power site indicated at Lees Ferry at the lower end of Glen Canyon. The first development indicated on the San Juan River in Utah is a power site at Bluff, which, I believe, is a combination storage and power site. That seems to be the only indicated develop ment on the San Juan. The map does not indicate any land that is pro- 4052 posed to be irrigated from the San Juan in Utah. For the dam in Boulder Canyon there have been several heights proposed. The one authorized was 555 feet above the mater surface. The elevation of the top of the dam was something between 1200 and 1250 feet above sea level. The proposed height of the dam at Lees Ferry would be nearly 800 feet high, as the particular reservoir development indicated on this map would apparently back water nearly to the junction of the Green and the Grand, which would flood out the Dark Canyon site. The improvements that I have just testified to on the Green and the Colorado and the San Juan Rivers are all a part of a general scheme of improvement. 4054 At the time I made my trip down the Colorado River I started at Halls Crossing. I went overland to Halls Crossing. On my trip down the river I was stuck a number or times on sand bars. This trip was made in the early part of September, 1922. We finished the trip on the 16th of September. We were on the river about |
