Show Prommel- D 992 survey work in the field. The Photostat was made for the suit in connection with the strip claims which were brought up after the discovery well came in; some parties claimed the strip of land between our permit, which we had surveyed out, and these plane table sheets were placed together and were used as an exhibit m I believe, in that suit, to cattle the matter of the strip claims over the Colorado river structures. Here ( indicating) is Moab. This ( indicating) is the course of the Colorado river. Here ( indicating) is the Big Bend. The work extend along the Colorado River to Lockhart canyon, Horse Thief canyon and Indian creek; thence part way up Indian creek; a distance of approximately -- Lockhart canyon is forty miles, about, -- forty- seven or forty- eight miles -- How many square miles in there? Approximately on that work two hundred and fifty square miles; the work is wider in places and narrower in other place. What kind of country is that that you covered? The country we covered on this trip is a very arid country, and a very rough country. There are a great many canyons there, and water is exceedingly scarce, except the water in the Colorado river. But you can't always reach the water in the Colorado river, although you may be very close, you may be three hundred feet above it. 2962 |
