Show 938 not stop at Soap Creek rapids but at what was known as Saddle or Fence Canyon, approximately forty to forty- five miles below Lees Ferry. When the dredge was being operated in Glen Canyon there was no upper or lower camp, or two camps, " but the teams come into the lower bar, on account of this point of rock and every thing, and we had to camp on the upper bar; we had a little telephone line between the two places, and they would telephone up that a team was in, and had a load." R. 2219. The bar in which the dredge was located is known as Good Hope Bar. This bar is located about a mile above the lower bar. The scow was taken down to the lower bar and then towed back up. " We didn't carry anything down unless something was going out." They would carry whatever load of supplies came in. The scow was operated for the purpose of bringing supplies that had come in from the upper bar to the camp, and they would haul it a distance of about a mile. R. 2220. Gold that was saved during dredging operations was shipped out to New York in the form of amalgum but he had nothing to do with the clean- ups and the shipping of the gold. The gold went out without being separated from the quicksilver He has no knowledge of how much gold was taken out in nine months. When taking the gold out those who left the canyon made their exit from the canyon at the place where supplies were taken in; that is the only place they could get out. Those going out did not always take the scow down unless somebody was loaded with something, " you see, they would take one of the smaller boats; we had two other smaller boats there." R. 2222. |
