Show Spencer- C 719 A Leasing some patented lands, yes. Q None from the government? A No. Q Are any of your patents adjacent to be river bed? A Yes sir. Q Run right along in the river bed? A No. Q But they run along beside, up the river, do they? A Pretty fairly close, yes. Q Do you know whether the government in this suit has excluded river beds on the San Juan adjacent to your patent? A I don't know anything about that; I know they reserved something like a quarter of a mile on the north side, years ago. Q You don't know that that I asked you? THE SPECIAL MASTER: The best evidence of that would be to put in his patent. MR. FARNSWORTH: I am asking as to the fact. I am asking whether he knows about it. Just a matter affecting his credibility, possibly. THE SPECIAL MASTER: That is all right. I thought you asked about lands adjacent. I do not see how that could affect this testimony. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. MR. BLACKMAR: That is all, Mr. Spencer. 2687 |
