Show 3385 Nims- D 1419 A I don't know how may pounds there were; the boats were loaded full, with just room enough for the men to work. Q When loaded they drew about fifteen inches of water? A Fifteen to eighteen inches. Q At what point did you put these boats on the river? A At the mouth of Crescent Creek; we hauled them by wagon to Crescent creek, on the Colorado river. Q Where is Crescent creek with reference to the Dirty Devil? A It is a few miles below the Dirty Devil; It is about at Dandy Crossing. EX MR. BLACKMAR: Mr. Hoyt, could you give us the mileage of that, so we could definitely fix it? THE SPECIAL MASTER: I don't suppose you expect to finish with Mr. Nims tonight, do you? MR. BLACKMAR: No, your Honor; but if we are going to get away tomorrow afternoon -- THE SPECIAL MASTER: I am perfectly willing to sit here. MR. FARNSWORTH: How long will you be with the witness? MR. BLACKMAR: I think we ought to be able to finish in fifteen minutes or so. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Are you willing to stay? MR. FARNSWORTH: All right with me. I wouldn't begin my cross examination on until I look over this stuff. |
