Show 5612 Hite - D 3619 62 years; I don't know of any particular one big year. They had the San Juan boom, and then the Henry Mountains in 1892 and 1893, I believe it was-- that there was a whole lot of people coming and going and passing through, and some stopped six months or a year. And I expect there was more people there at that time than any other one time, with the exception of when Mr. Stanton built this dredge; they built a large dredge and he worked a great many men. Q Well, when you say " Worked a great many men", how many men do you mean? A Well, I say a great many it would be a good many men for that special set of country; it was in building this dredge; he had mechanics there from Frisco, and machinisto, Q Well, approximately? A Well, he must have had 50 or 75 men there, or on the road back and forth. Q Well, at all the time you were in and around Hite and Tickaboo and the Good Hope Bar, did you ever know of any supplies or merchandise being brought down the river from Greenriver, Utah? |
