Show 210 Q The first important point on the Colorado River, as I understand it, is that which is designated as the Slide. Have you a photograph there of the Slide? The Special Master: You mean the first important point from the junction out? Mr. Blackmar: Yes, sir. The Witness: Photograph 147 and photograph 66. Photograph No. 6 is view upstream towards the slide on the left bank. No. 147 is another view of the slide, with a panoramas camera upstream from the left bank. Plate No. 34 is a plane table survey of the Slide, on a scale of 500 feet to the inch, the same as the other. Mr. Blackmar: Q That is about two miles from the junction of these two river? A That is about 1.8 miles above the junction of those two rivers. Q And how wide is the actual river channel there? A It is approximately 100 feet across there at medium low water-- the channel itself. Q Of course, that increases the velocity of the water as it comes through there. A The velocity of the water increases there very ma-serially over what it is upstream and downstream. Q Now, in proceeding upstream, you had this boat that came down from Moab. And who was in that boat? 2173 |
