Show Record Julius F. Stone testified on cross examination as follows: 1795 I have no personal knowledge as to what supplies were brought to the Stanton camps located down the river from where I was on my first trip to the Colorado. The placers extended to 1796 point below Hole- in- the- Rock, Stanton's company having located 1797 practically all of the gravel and sand bars in Glen Canyon. Some-times the young men would tow a boat up as far as Hite and bring down some supplies in it. The Stanton company's operations covered probably two years. On my 1909 trip the boats in our party 1798 would follow through, Mr. Calloway in the first boat. None of the other men in our party was familiar with the river. I had provided myself with the recognizance survey maps of the Geological Survey; they were uncompleted maps, which we sometimes found in error, and gave us no assistance in locating sand bars, rapids, 1799 or anything of that kind. I think the Stanton dredge operated about a quarter of a day, but I have no personal knowledge on that subject. I think some of the gentlemen here present have such knowledge. Constantine Rodin testified for complainant on direct examination as follows: 1800 I am 38 years old and do some work for my neighbors. I have been a fisherman around San Pedro and other coast points. 1801 I have worked on power boats and other boats on the beach and was on the Colorado trip with Mr. Clark in the party of which Mr. LaRue was in charge. Mr. LaRue did not know much about the navigation of boats and Frank Dodge was chief boatman and had most of the responsibility for getting the boats through safely. We left 1802 Green River, Utah, November 10, 1927. There were a few riffles close up above the junction of the Green and Colorado, but we did not get in any rapids much until we reached Cataract Canyon. In going over those riffles we sometimes were stopped and had to help 233 1350 |
