Show 4291 Loper- D 2312 A Yes sir. Q How did you make that trip? A There was three of us, George Edmundson, Sill Clark and myself; we had a little sixteen foot row boat, a very light boat, and we went down by boat; I don't think we had a roll of beds for the three of us, and very little grub; I know we had a pennyweight and a half of gold in a button. I got down thereto one of the placer parties that was down there, and I gave this pennyweight and a half of gold for ten pounds of flour. We came back up the river on that ten pounds of flour. Q Where had you gotten this boat? A That was one of the boats in the canyon at the time; I don't remember where that boat -- oh, there was three men at the mouth of Slick Horn Canyon, one of the parties that went on this trip was camped there, they had these boats; Al Rogers of Rico, Colorado, a newspaper man, -- I think he is yet -- he was one of the parties that camped there. One of the party was Bill Clark, and one Al Rogers; the other I think his name was Clark, too, whether it was John or not I don't remember. Q What month of the year was it you went? A I am sure that was August. |
