Show fully sailed that boat upstream 174 , and its draft as loaded was about two feet . ( R 5331-3 , Vol . 30 . ) In 1903 ( I 1 ) built the ? Wilmont , which was slightly over 27 feet long , with a 5V . ! - j foot beam . Its draft empty was about 10 inches , and with j loads its draft was up to 3 feet . It was a stern wheeler | and at first was equipped with a ( four-horse fourhorse ) power engine . With that engine I ( couldn't couldnt ) go up the riffles between my ranch and Green River without assisting ( the -the the ) boat , but with i it I made two round trips to the junction of the rivers and ! one round trip to Moab . We had very little trouble on those trips but the engine ( didn't didnt ) have enough . power . ( R . 5333-5 , Vol . 30 . ) Both of the above mentioned trips to the junction in the Wilmont were for compensation ( , . ) ( R . 5337 , Vol . 30 . ) The next year I installed a ( ll 71 ) . , horsepower engine in the Wilmont and ( changed changect ) it from a stern to side wheeler . After this change I made one round trip to Moab on personal business and another round trip there with tourists for ( com com- com ) ¬ pensation . I also mode several round trips from my ranch to Green River , Utah , and ( had-'n'o hadno ) difficulty in negotiating the riffles . I had no difficulty with the current on making ( pro pro- pro ) gress , on either of the Moab trips . ( R . 5338 , Vol . 30 . ) In 1903 . and 4 we carried in the Wilmont considerable supplies from Green River , Utah , to my ranch , and from my ranch to a point 25 miles below , where the ( Utah-Nevada UtahNevada ) Copper Company was operating a ( low-grade lowgrade ) copper property . We carried lumber and all sorts of supplies for the use of that company . ( R . 5341-2 , Vol . 30 . ) We later built two scows for hauling copper ore , , the largest ( being" being being ) 30 feet long with a ( 12-foot 12foot ) beam and the smaller one 20 feet long with an ( 8-foot 8foot ) beam . I then installed a 14 horse power engine in the Wilmont . I hauled several tons of copper ore in the ( Wil Wil- Wil ) ¬ mont to Green River , Utah , but I am not sure whether or not we took any scow loads of ore up to town . ( R . 5345 , Vol . 30 . ) ( I 1 ) made several round trips to Moab and . to the head of Cataract Canyon after installing the 14 horse power engine in the Wilmont , all of which trips were for ( compen compen- compen ) ¬ sation . In 1905 or 1906 the , copper company built another power boat called the Colorado , in which we used my old 71 ( y ) ) . horse power engine . I recall making a number of trips in the Colorado , generally to the head of Stillwater Canyon , but that boat was not a success . In 1906 the copper company quit operating . During the years 1905 , 1906 and 1907 ( I 1 ) made other trips than those I have mentioned here for compensation . I took one party of hunters in the Colorado |
