Show Hyde- D 628 this crib? A. Yes. We went to work then, we boxed in the inside of the wheel, tried to make a dry wheel out of it and run it by burrow and sank a well there to lift the water, or draw the water; it didn't work very good; we had a lot of trouble; in a week or ten days went out one morning there and the water was gone; came from the other side over to this side ( indicating); that is a common occurrence in there. Q. Is that crib of rock you built still there? A. It is still there. Q. Where is the river with reference to that crib the last time you saw it? A. I suppose it is right near by; can't get very far away; it is about one hundred yards from that to the other side of a solid cliff; it is somewhere in that one hundred yards right now. Q. Do you know about how many acres of bottom land are left in and about Bluff? A. No, I don't. Q. Do you know how many sores are farmed is there now? A. No, I don't; it had out some since I left there three years ago, I understand. Q. What was the condition when you left there, about how many sores? A. I wouldn't undertake to say, because I don't know; I can give you an idea more by distance than putting it into acres. Q. Give it to me by distance, then. 2596 |
