Show 3394 Nims- D 1419 THE SPECIAL MASTER: The same boat he went down in? MR. BLACKMAR: Yes, the same boat. A I wouldn't try it. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q I am asking you whether or not you could do it. A No sir, I couldn't do it. Q Mr. Nims, did you ever go back there and work that placer mine? A No sir. I don't think Hyslop or Gibson did either. Q Do you know anything about Stanton's operations down there, whether or not he had some placer mines after that? A No, I don't. MR. BLACKMAR: That is all, Mr. Nims. CROSS EXAMINATION BY MR. FARNSWORTH: MR. FARNWORTH: May I ask just one question before we adjourn? Q You say, Mr. Nims, you couldn't do it. You were not a boatman, were you? A Well, I was a boatman probably as much as any of them; I was brought up in the lake section, in New York, and spent a great deal of time on those lakes, and on Erie canal, and on the creeks there, and ponds, in boats, rowing. |
