Show 5125 Bennett- D 3137 down the river with your casing? A No, I didn't go down with that. I went overland with the horses. Q Back to where? A Back to the Ricon. Q What became of the raft, if you know? A Mr. Bennett and Mr. Hay and Mr. Rottinhouse took the raft down the river to the Ricon, that is, it is across the river from the Rincon and about a mile below it. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Bennett, Hay, and who? A Rottinhouse, I think it is. I wouldn't be positive. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Did you also have a drilling rig with you? A Yes, they had the drilling rig with them, then. Q Was that on the raft? A The raft was made out of a good part of it; all the wooden parts were used in the raft. I helped assemble the raft, and waited until they got started, then I took the horses around. Q Which one of you arrived first? A They did. I went to a ranch and stayed until the next morning before starting out. Q Was there any drilling carried on there at Rincon? A Yes sir. |
