Q Well, probably better not go into that. You saw them at Bluff City, did you not? A Yes sir. Q Were their boats new boats, or boats that had been on the river for some time? A The boat had been used for some time; they had come from above in their boat. Q Did you know whether or not they went down the river with their outfit in their boats? A Yes sir; I was camped below Bluff about two miles, and they came to my camp, asked permission to go down to work in the canyon on some of our placer properties, and I told them it was agreeable with me if they would leave their outfit and apply their labor on my assessments. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I don't suppose all this conver-sation is competent. Strike that out. You saw them before. |
