Show 5183 F. Bennett- D 3195 A Generally about the fore part of February, January and February, when the coldest weather comes. The ice comes down as mush ice. It will keep getting together until it formes these gorges. When it is breaking up, generally large pieces, and they go through. MR. BLACKMAR: In connection with ice jams, I declare to call your Honor's attention to page 13 of Exhibit 62. That is Water Supply Paper 556 by E. C. La Rue. MR. FARNSWORTH: May I see that, please. THE SPECIAL MASTER: 556? MR. BLACKMAR: Yes, your Honor. It is not ice jams, but freezing over. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Bennett, how did you get Hite's supplies away from there on the occasion that you have just mentioned, when he was having trouble with the ice? A There is a road down there; they built a road between Tickaboo bar and Good Hope; quite a wide place there. The river is down perhaps one hundred feet below where this road goes. There is a high bench runs along there. It looks as though been kind of a land slide filled that in there. Road along there. Q Do you recall an occasion in 1898 when you and Mr. Ryan forded the river? A Yes sir. |
