Show Record At the present time there is no road into Lockhart Canyon. There is a road into Indian Creek. We have hauled oil well equipment to Indian Creek over land. Indian Creek runs into the Colorado River but the road does not. The destination of the material we hauled to Indian Creek was right where we hauled it, that is where the drilling was going on. The road had been there for a 986 long time. The oil wells are on both sides of the river. Shafer No. 1 is on the west side. Shafer No. 2 is on the same side 10 miles from Shafer No. 1. There is no road connecting the two. There was the Snowden- McSweeny well, opposite No. 1 on the east side of the river. The Lockhart well was started at the mouth of Lockhart right on the river. The well at Lockhart Canyon was 40 miles below Moab. The Shafer No. 1- A was about 1500 feet north of the Shafer 988 No. 1. R. C. Clark testified on re- cross examination as follows: We took boilers and heavy stuff down the river to all of those wells. We have taken 15 or 16 tons at a time on the big boat. Harold W. C. Prommel testified for complainant on direct examination as follows: 989 I am a consulting geologist and mining engineer. 990 I first went in the country around Moab, Utah, in March, 1920, to make a geological investigation of the Moab anticline and 991 the Salt Valley anticline. The Moab anticline is right at Moab, while the Salt Valley anticline is about 8 miles southeast of Thompson and extends from there to the Colorado River above Moab. I covered all of the country personally, spending about 3 months in the field. I returned in June, 1920, to take personal charge of the party which I had sent in in May to make a survey of what we knew as the Colorado River structures. I have a copy of that survey, that is the field sheet. The work extended along the Colorado River to Lockhart Canyon, Horse Thief canyon and Indian Creek, thence part - 137- |
