( R . 1930-1931 . ) He only stayed over night on the San ( Juan Ju6n ) River and ( didn't didnt ) cross the stream . He ( remem remem- remem ) bers there was very little water in it ; not more than two or three feet wide and possibly a foot deep . This completed his ( experience xperience ) on the river . . He has been on the lower Colorado , but has never been back to the upper river since the San Juan trip , with one exception , when he went back about 1895 with a ( placer-mining placermining ) outfit . On this trip he went about eight miles below the bridge at Greenriver to put in an amalgamator . It was a ( dry-land dryland ) dredge , a steam shovel , run ( electri- electri ) cally . The outfit would handle about a yard of gravel a minute . They brought machinery down the river by wagon , came down on the west side , and crossed the river with it . The machinery weighed one hundred tons . They forded the river , he believes , in September or October , and stayed in the country for about a year . ( R , 1932-1933 . ) He operated the dredge nearly every day , and during this time he saw two outfits come down the Green River : : One , Mr . Galloway and his partner , who were bound through the canyon ; and the other was Flavell and Richards . He employed about twenty men on the trip , and brought the ( sup- sup ) plies in overland from Greenriver . After this work with the dredge he returned to Colorado . |
