Show 5212 F. Bennett- D 3224 BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q What month was this? A In October, about the 15th of October. Q The same month you were at Bluff? A Just a few days after I was at Bluff. Q You first had to go back from Bluff to Hite? A Yes, and went down the Colorado river in a boat to the mouth of the San Juan. Q When you speak of Barrett Stanton, going down the river from there, did you go as far as the box canyon, or was the country open? A The country was open; we went down, before we got to the box canyon we found water, it seemed to be running again, seemed to have seeped through under these bars or through the gravel. Q So this place you mentioned where you found no water was east of the box canyon, was it, between there and Barrett Stanton? A Yes, between there and Barrett Stanton. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q You say about a mile below Barrett Stanton? A Yes, I think it was about a mile below Barrett Stanton; I am not so sure as to the exact distance; that is just as I remember it. We went down there. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Is Barrett Stanton in Comb wash? |
