Show Jones- C 396 A Yes sir. Q And in order to arrive at a conclusion on that subject it was necessary for you to look about and become familiar with the surroundings? A Yes sir. Q And you did that before you arrived at a decision? A Yes sir. Q You went up and down the San Juan river for considerable distances, did you? A Yes sir. SPECIAL MASTER: You mean on the land? MR. FARNSWORTH: Yes. Q And you went down some of those side canyons and explored the territory along and adjacent to the San Juan? A Yes sir. Q Those trips extended pretty well down towards the confluence with the Colorado, did they? A Well, no, not that time. Q How far down did they extend at that time, would you say? A I don't think any of our party went more than twelve or fifteen miles down west of where Bluff is now. Q That would be immediately after your arrival? A Yes sir. Q Then in the next succeeding two or three years you made further exploration, I assume? A Yes sir, naturally. 2363 |
