Show 950 was made about opposite Navajo Creek during the night. They started down shortly after daylight and arrived at Lees Ferry about noon the next day. The trip, therefore, covered a distance of about sixty- eight miles and boat was rowed down stream all the time. R. 2253. Redirect Examination. ( R. Vol. 12, pp. 2253- 2254) Pictures were not taken of the low water on the San Juan River because at that time he was not interested in the low water. The pictures are his own personal collection and not official. There were no great floods while he was on the San Juan but while at Piute Farms the river was too high to venture on it at all with boats. R. 2253. The water in the river was fluctuating continually and was never at any one stage. Because of this fluctuating in the amount of water, the sand bars changed at all times and " you couldn't count on a sandbar being in the same place at any time." R. 2254. Further Examination. ( R. Vol. 12, pp. 2254) " BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: " Q Do you mean when you were at some given locality the sandbars varied from day to day, month to month, or what? " A The sandbars varied from hour to hour, ordinarily. " Q What do you mean by varying? " A Varying in location; the stream itself would vary, sometimes, perhaps five or six feet in a day. " Q You mean by the stream itself, the channel? " A In the height of water, and with that much variation naturally the sandbars would change locus." R. 2254. |
