Vol. 11. R. 1948. The purpose of the 1891 trip was to locate a lost mine that was supposed to be in the lower canyon, near Bright Angel; somewhere in the Kaibab Forest, on the north rim. R. 1948- 1949. They had other interests besides the lost mine, but that was their ultimate goal. It was their intention to prospect the whole canyon all the way down, and they expected to be there for a year or more; but they went more or less directly to the Cataracts, and did no prospecting along the Green River, as they went down; nor on the Colorado, until they reached Cataract Canyon. R. 1949- 1950. He didn't personally make the plans; he was simply working for the company, and whatever they wished done, he did, to the best of his ability. He knew enough about the purpose of the expedition to know they were to go down the canyon of the Colorado River, below Cataract Canyon, prospect from there on down, to Bright Angel, and then try to locate the lost mine. R 1950. |
