Show ( be 'be be ) just the ( reverse revrairse ) ( and aud ) ( 466 4,66 ) impossible ( to 'to to ) cross on ac - count of quicksand . This particular point was called Clay Hill Crossing , and that is located about ( seventy-five seventyfive ) miles below Bluff , about forty miles ( below 'below below ) the mouth of Chinle Creek , it may be ( marked maTked ) ( on oil ) the map as ( Recompense Recompeilse ) Camp or Piute Farms . ( R . 1609-1610 . ) He has observed that the ( San Sall ) Juan River carries a lot of sand and sediment , and at what is called Johns Camp , has observed that the bed of the river has raised ( ten tell ) feet in the last few years and the sand shifts from one side to the other . The ( bot- bot ) ( toms tonis ) will be taken out and put right on the other side , whole masses of ( sand saild ) at a time . The summer storms are usually what caused . the shifting of the bottoms from one side of the river to the other , and during these storms , the river ( rims TIIIIS ) very heavy in mud . The different streams bring in different kinds of mud that will be deposited in one place , which causes the different colorings in the different sands . ( R . 1610 . ) The San Juan River is canyoned up from Bluff , except where it breaks through a ridge of ( moun moun- moun ) ¬ tains and leaves an opening , and these ( canyons callyons ) are dropping off more or less all the time , and ( when wheli ) theY drop into the river it leaves a mass of rock that has to be washed away creating almost an ( in-l- inl ) passable barrier at times . There are rapids at the mouth of Piute Canyon . ( R . 1611 . ) |
