Show He found some fair sized 1373 deposits to the ( east cast ) of his patented land , and some on the west side of the river ; later ( he lie ) found some down . the Green River about sixty miles below the town . None of these ( de- de ) posits had ever been developed at all and ( he lie ) can therefore not state the extend of the deposits . The Colorado Fuel & Iron Company worked the manganese deposits that were acquired from him . He does not know the exact tonnage shipped from the property although it amounted to several ( thou- thou ) sand tons . The deposits on that land are not yet exhausted . ( R . 5330 . ) During the year of his arrival on the Green River he made a trip in a rowboat to the junction of the Green and Colorado Rivers . This boat drew about nine inches of water . The boat was operated with oars and he was gone ten or twelve days on the trip . In going upstream he rowed and towed the boat , the trip being a prospecting trip made in the month of February during the low stage of water ; the ( mini- mini ) mum depth of the channel that they found being two feet . ( R . 5331 . ) It would be pretty hard to state the ordinary depth of the channel because it varies so much , but it was pretty deep in places . During that time , 1900 , he also made at least one trip from his ranch up to Greenriver , Utah , rowing the boat except at the riffles , over which he towed . During the next year he built a boat and arranged it so it could be fit with a sail , the boat being about eighteen feet long and possibly three feet wide . ( R . . 5332 . ) ( 33307-31-voL 3330731voL ) 2-41 |
