R . , vol . 2 , 751 758 760-764 Compl Exhibits 462 463 pp . , , , . , , 464 , 464a , and 464b ) and also a pipe line ( Compl . Exhibit 461 Abs R vol 2 ( 754-755 754-750' ) ) , . . , . , pp . . Messrs . Aurand ( Abs . R . , vol . 1 , p . 385 ) and ( Prommel Pron-imel Pronimel ) ( Abs . R . , vol . 1 , p . ( 268 26S ) ) , engineers for the Midwest Refining Company , also investigated the question of navigability of the river and rejected it ( Aurand , Abs . R . , vol . 1 , pp . 392 , 394 , 400 ; Prommel , Abs . R . , vol . 1 , pp . 270-272 ) as a means of ( trans trans- trans ) ¬ portation in the event it developed into a commercial field . In the last year , the barge of the ( Moab 'Aloab Aloab ) Garage Company has made only a few trips and undoubtedly in the near future , it will be dismantled because there is no further use for it . The Charles H . ( Spencer Spence'r Spencer ) was the major commercial attempt on the Colorado River below Mile 176 . The boat cost about 30,000 . Two United States inspectors examined the hulls and boilers and helped launch the boat ( Abs . R . Vol . 2 , pp . 782-785 ) ; the boat was to be used for pushing barges from Lees Ferry to Warm Creek and for ( hauling bauling ) coal . The boat only made two round trips , and then returned to Lees Ferry , ( where wbere ) it was tied up and sunk . The boat in all brought about 8 tons of coal to Lees Ferry . On one of the trips the boat got stuck on a sand bar for three days , about a mile and a half from Lees Ferry . Johnson ( Abs . R . Vol . 2 , pp . 786-787 ) . |
