Show Galloway- D 1041 Forty years. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q What has been your occupation during your life? A Well, I follow mining, mostly; quartz mining. I do some carpenter work. I have done some placer mining on river beds. Q Have you done some boating? A Oh, yes, I have done quite a lot of boating in placer mining. Q And some trapping? A Well, yes, I have done some trapping. Q What experience have you had on the Green and the Colorado rivers? A Well, I have boated the Green river from almost its starting point to Lee's Ferry. I have boated the Grand river from the point called Westwater to the junction of the Green and the Grand river. Q Then you have been on various other rivers outside of those, haven't you, operating a boat? A Oh, yes, I have. Q About how old were you when you first went on the river as a boat man? A Well, I don't remember exactly what my age would be, but I was just a boy. The first trip ever I made on the river, with my father, I would judge probably I was thirteen years old, 3013 |
