Does that complete the trip into Lee's Ferry? " A. Yes sir." R. 1255. In that stretch of the Colorado River they met one prospector at Red Canyon which is at mile 150. In that stretch of the river he did not see any other boats going either up or down stream " but this prospector had a skiff that I would estimate as about twelve feet in length and he actually crossed the river and visited us; we stopped and talked to him one afternoon, and next morning he showed up at our camp. " I saw the wrecks of a few boats, small boats most of them." R. 1250. He saw the wreck of a large boat right at the ferry, Lee's Ferry: " and in addition to that there were the remains of a dredge way up the river, parts of the machinery having been placed on shore and having caved into the river, and other parts still remaining on shore. " The bull and the ladder was out in the river. |
