Show 6992 Fotheringham- D 4980 Q And where there any bars in the Colorado river at that time that had a name, so far as you know? A No, I never heard of any names. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Are you talking about sandbars or gravel bars they worked? MR. FARNSWORTH: I was talking about gravel bars they worked. When I say bars, I mean placer bars where they worked the bars for gold. THE WITNESS: I never heard of any names to them. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Did you later go on down past the San Juan river with your boats? A Yes, the nest trip we made we moved down below the San Juan. Q Before we leave this, what is your best judgment as to how far above the mouth of the San Juan river this first bar you stopped at, this first place you stopped to placer gold, was located? A Above the San Juan? Q Yes, the first place where you first stopped, how far was that above the mouth of the San Juan? A I should judge it was about ten miles. |
