Show Adams- C 436 years, that particular time we go to the river, before that I have crossed the river, but we never run cattle along there. Q Throughout fifteen years you were familiar with the river during the year? A Yes, at different points. Q At different points, and at all seasons of the year. A Yes, at all seasons of the year. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q How high is the canyon on an average? A The bluffs? Well, I would judge, some places I would judge perhaps a thousand feet. Q To what extent is the high land at the top of the bluffs accessible to the river, at many points? A The San Juan River? Q Yes; at many points? A Quit a good many points there, I don't just recall the number. Q Trails leading from the highland to the river? A Sometimes they go from the highland; others follow down the washes that come in from the north, you follow them down, and in others you have to climb up over the rocks and get down the best way you can. Q You drove the cattle down these trails to the river? A Yes sir. Q As well as rode down yourself? A Yes sir. Q Are there any roads in that region as distinguished from trails? 2402 |
