It is just a continuation of these sand wave formations and breaks. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q What months of the year do they principally occur? A They occurred generally whenever floods came down; when the river has run for a while at normal state, the sand waves more or less subside; it is only in the flood periods they are most active, eighter the summer or the spring floods; they are not as abundant or as marked in the spring floods as in the summer floods. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q With reference to the floods, do the sand waves come before or after the crest of the flood is reached? A The waves noticeably come after the floods, that is, follow the subsiding of the water. Q Have you ever experienced any sand storms on either the San Juan or the Colorado? A Yes, some. |
