Show 4422 Loper- C 2442 coal mines near the river? A I understood he mined and hauled some coal; I don't know anything about that, never seen a pound of coal. Q Do you know where these coal mines are located with reference to the Colorado river? A I do not. Q You saw his boat, didn't you? A I have seen the steam boat tied up; it never left its morrings when I seen it. Q You didn't see it after it left its moorings? A I seen the bow of it sticking out of the sand at Lees Ferry in 1921. Q You saw it just before and after? A I seen it before and after. Q During any period that Mr. Spencer was operating that boat, or what his company was operating that boat, you were not down on the lower section of the river? A No sir. I will say, the time I seen the boat, the last time I seen the boat before it sunk was about the 5th, along about the 5th of February, 1912. Q You were not even there when it sunk, were you? A No, it was sunk after that. Q You mean in its condition as you saw it? A Yes. Q If you weren't there, we will save a lot of time if you don't go on and answer. |
