Show And when they had to go 899 further on down below that road that they came over they took them overland ; no one ever went through the canyon , so far as he knew , except his own outfit . ( R . 3515-3516 . ) There were other boats on the river besides his , but he ( doesn't doesnt ) know about any of the other men bringing supplies down the river from Bluff , His party was lower in the canyon than the other miners , although there were other parties that went down below where he was working . ( R . 3516 . ) Most of them went down overland and down through ( some soine ) of the side canyons . For example , they had one notable trail they called the Honaker trail , about eight or ten miles below their camp ; they had a ladder there to get down into the canyon ; he has seen it . The ladder was probably twenty or thirty feet long . In the years of 1893 and 1894 when he was there , there were a good many miners there that were prospecting or working their claims up and down that river . There must have been one hundred or one hundred and fifty in that year , because the ( dis- dis ) coveries we made in the canyon created quite an excitement . ( He Ele ) was the original discoverer . He found the trail by which they could get down in the canyon . Some of the other miners came down . the river . Probably some brought the lumber down and built ( them thern ) ; not sure of that , though . He saw some come down river iir boats ; they came ( down dowa ) the river and passed our camp to their different places that they were working . |
