Hardyville, Arizona, is on the Colorado River and there was a ferry at that place for the purpose of crossing the river to the Nevada side. On his trip back he passed through a place known as Callville where there was a stone wall of a burned store but the place was deserted. Callville is not far from the present Boulder dam site. At Hardyville, he saw Captain Melon's old steam boat, Gila. The boat came up the river from Ft. Mojave, where it had been unloading freight for the government. It would come up from there to Hardyville in high state of water. R. 2158. When he was camping at Callville in 1871 he saw a boat come down the river carrying the American flag; it was at the quartz mill at Eldorado Canyon. R. 2159. " Q Was that boat a steam boat or a row boat? " A No, Just a row boat. A steam boat couldn't get up." R. 2160. On the latter trip the left Eldorado Canyon at the quartz mill, went up through Callville and up to the mouth of the Virgin with burros, following a trail, there being no road. From the mouth of the Muddy they went up to St. Thomas and struck the same route followed on the way down with the cattle. They then followed the same trail back to Provo, Utah, then digressed through Salt Lake City and Ogden, went to Corinne, Utah, and up the Bear River into Helena, Montana. R. 2160. |
