Show Hyde- D 617 MR. FARNSWORTH: We object to it. THE SPECIAL MASTER: What is the objection? MR. FARNSWORTH: I withdraw the objection, but I don't think that is the proper form so put a question. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q About how low does the river get in the low water months, taking now an average year? A Taking it one year with another -- it is warm down in that country, we go in bathing a great deal in the river, have done all my life, from a boy up to three years ago. Along in August usually the river gets down so you can't get swimming water in it, gets down to eighteen inches, two feet deep, you have to hunt a place where it is kind of confined, to get water enough to bathe in, good, you see, because it will spread out. There are three or four different little streams, and it is warm, and full of wigglers. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q That is at Bluff? A That is the condition in the section from Bluff to the Colorado river, or from the Colorado line to the Colorado river. To give you an idea, the bridge at Goodrich -- the river is sixty- four feet wide there, confined in solid rock walls; the last time I bathed in the San Juan river it was the last week in August, and under that bridge there, where it is sixty four feet wide, we couldn't get water deep enough to swim in. 2585 |
