Show ( whore where ) the Santa ( Fe A ) Railroad ( 978 97S ) passes at Flagstaff ; and lie has no information concerning the content of the water , except such as was gleaned from the ( few feiv- feiv ) samples taken . The samples ( he lie ) has taken can ( be- be be ) found in evidence introduced . ( R . 3813 . ) When he says that there are 131,000,000 tons im the year at Lees Ferry , and 50,700,000 tons at ( Green- Green ) river , and that there is three times as much water at Lees Ferry as at Greenriver , then the amount of suspension would be proportionately about the same as far as the clarity of the water is concerned . He means that at Greenriver , if they have this 50,000 , - 000 , and the flow of the river was increased three times , it might very easily carry 150,000,000 tons , he believes . This figure means that with 150,000,000 tons at Lees Ferry , there was three times as much solid material carried at Lees ( Feny Ferry ) as at Greenriver . There was about three times as much water . ( R . ( 3815-3816 '3815-3816 ) . ) The amount of suspended matter carried in the San Juan , 60,000,000 tons per year , is based on a mathematical average of 1.6 per cent of solid matter carried in each ton of water through the year . The figures of 60,200,000 tons at the Goodrich Station were taken from samples obtained from May I to August 30 or the quantity May to September and took the mean discharge for the year , to compute the ( year's years ) load He is not familiar with the river except for the purpose of getting silt . The figures for the silt contained in the San Juan were based on a ( math- math ) |
