Show Walker- D 492 Q And what experience was that? A Well, I was looking after a litter short piece, or a little short ditch, looking after the head of it at that time. It was so dry we had to take scrapers and scrape a temporary dam across to get the water into to diton. Q For how long a period did that continue? A Well, I will say it was two weeks. Q Do you recall what month in the year it was? A No, I don't just remember, but it must have been somewhere about August, as near as I remember. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Where was this? A This was in the neighborhood of Fruitland. BY MR. BLACKMAR: A How far is that from the point in dispute? A About fifty miles. SPECIAL MASTER: Aren't we petting pretty far away? MR. BLACKMAR: I think I can connect it up right away. Q Are there any streams between Fruitland and Chinle creek running into the San Juan river which carry water continuously throughout the year? A No, I think not, not continuously: Q Have you ever seen any boats on the San Juan river? A Nothing only little skiffs of boats that we used there; I will say I had one in 1911, I had just a little boat like some of the other trades had, just for the Indians to row their supplies over from our side of the river over to the other side. 2458 |
