Show 4044 Zahn- D 2065 A That is rather hard to answer, because sometimes would be quite a little water come through, other times, when the pump commenced to cut out the packing by the sand, it would be very much diminished. Q What was the capacity of each pump? A I told you the intake and the discharge, just how many inches. I couldn't answer that question. Q Can you give it to us approximately how may second feet of water would they take care of? A I am a little familiar with miners' inches, but not with second feet. Q How high a diversion dam did you build? A Diverting the water? Q Yes. A Probably about eight or ten inches. Q Was there only one channel in the river at that time? A Yes -- you mean with water -- that is all. Q It wasn't spread out running over different channels? A No, all the water I had diverted towards the intake. Q You had a sump there, didn't you, already constructed? A Not necessarily a sump; I dug a bigger basin right where the intake of the pump was. Q From the contour of the ground it wasn't a very difficult job to divert the stream that way, was it? A No. |
