This was a prospecting trip for ( gold gol'u" golu ) and black sand and they got some colors and plenty of sand . He did not take out any gold but he shipped some samples to Mr . Scott of the Carnegie Steel Company , ( who -who who ) sent him the results of the assays . ( The "he he ) reason he ( went -went went ) for the black sand was because there might be platinum in the sand ; Mr . Wheeler having told him there was more black sand on the Colorado than on the Green , ( and a-nd and ) they panned on both rivers . He ( doesn't doesnt ) know the content per cubic yard as there ( wasn't wasnt ) enough gold to get ( excited -excited excited ) over and he did not know about the platinum until after the analysis but he did not get excited over that . From his experience he ( doesn't doesnt ) believe the beds have a sufficient gold content to warrant any exploration . ( R . ( 4876-4877 4876-4S77 48764S77 ) . ) He has made six other trips with rowboats besides the first trip ; each trip being as far as the confluence [ of the Green and Colorado Rivers ] , and two of them to Moab .
