Show 4045 Zahn- D 2066 Q By adding ten inches on to portions of the bed there you would be able to divert the entire flow, down past your pumps? A Very readily, yes. Q That necessity existed for ten days, did it? A Just about that; I haven't full remembrance of it. Q During that ten day period you wouldn't say whether the percentage of water that you extracted by means of your pump was ten per cent of five per cent or two per cent, would you? A Well, I should judge about maybe ten per cent, that is all the water we really took, I suppose; I didn't pay much attention to that part. Q Didn't you use the river on some other occasions than the one you indicated -- A Yes. THE SPECIAL MASTER: He has not finished his question. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q -- when you took the hopper down on the raft? A My recollection it was 1905 when we took the hopper down on the raft. Q I will get the date later. There were other occasions when you used the river for floating freight or other cargo down the river? A None other; no other occasion. |
