497 [ BY THE SPECIAL MASTER] " Q. No sign of a much traveled road? " A. As a matter of fact, your Honor, we missed the road that was being traveled at that particular time, or the track that was being followed, I should say, and the chauffeur on his return trip probably took a different route. " R. 1252- 1253. The road from Hanksville to North Wash is used considerably for about eighteen miles from Hanksville, " and is something like a well traveled desert track." R. 1253. The road does not follow the line of the river: it leaves the river immediately. " There is a road -- a track or desert road from Hanksville to some mining communities in the Henry mountains. " R. 1253. That is south of Hanksville and this road to North Wash follows that road for about eighteen miles. " Thereafter it resumed the nature of a desert track, leading, as I understood, to certain ranches down in there, for a further distance of about eleven miles, -- we made that by automobile-- then it drops into North wash. " R. 1253- 1254. The only other road he saw in the region were a few tracks leading off, " and from Hanksville there is a road leading west, the mail route leading west over the mountains somewhere, I don't know just where. " R. 1254. |
