Show ably more water to have done 35 away with them in Labyrinth Canyon ( -7o 7o ) that we ( wouldn't wouldnt ) have been bothered by them . . ( R . 1580 , Vol . 9 . ) I remember no sand ( bars -bars bars ) in the ( Colo- Colo ) rado River after we reached a point 20 miles below the Dirty Devil . The only thing we observed on the stretch of river between Cataract Canyon and the ( Utah-Arizona UtahArizona ) state line which created anything ( approaching- approaching approaching ) the obstacles ( en- en ) countered by us in Labyrinth Canyon was the one rapid I have referred to located just ( below beloNv ) the mouth of the San Juan , the sandstone ledges I have spoken of and some sand bars . In going over those ledges I do not recall spending any time trying to pick out a particular channel for our boat . ( R . 1581 , Vol . 9 . ) In my book entitled ( "Romance Romance ) of the ( Colorado" Colorado ) ( Exhibit 13 , at page ( 287 297 ) ) , 1 say that all through Glen ( Canyon -Canyon Canyon ) we found evidences of Puebloan ( occu- occu ) pation and that the ( "river river ) was tame . " It would have been better had I said that the river was ( "comparatively comparatively ) tame .

" We made no portage there , ran right through it , and did not consider that there was any danger incident to doing so and paid no attention to it . Below that rapid I recall no obstructions or navigation difficulties from sand bars , shoals or any other cause . ( R . 1582-6 , Vol . 9 . ) The only place below Green River Utah , where our boats were filled with water was in Cataract Canyon and the only other place where you might ship water would be at the rapid in Glen Canyon that I have mentioned , but I ( don't dont ) think we shipped any water there . ( R . . 1589 , Vol . 9 . ) 1 ( don't dont ) recall seeing any sand waves but we would not mind sand waves . I suppose we had 1000 or 1200 pounds of supplies in our boats after we left Green River , Utah . ( R . 1590 , Vol . 9 . ) We left one of our boats at the Dirty Devil and loaded all of our supplies in the ( re- re ) maining two boats , so that from there down to Lees Ferry our boats were more heavily loaded than they were at Green River , Utah . ( R . . 1591 , Vol . 9 . ) In Glen Canyon there are bottom lands , all the way through which have been cultivated by the Indians , some of them perhaps a quarter of a mile long and several hundred yards wide . ( R . 1593 , Vol . 9 . ) John Wetherill testified : I live at Kayenta Arizona , . I have been a guide in the San Juan country ; have seen boats on that river , usually skiffs for crossing . I saw two small skiffs carrying prospectors , one of which made the journey |
