Show Record 2232- 2233 It was stipulated between the attorneys for the parties that Mr. Dellenbaugh's notations on Defendant's Exhibits 5 to 10, inclusive, would be treated as the testimony of Mr. Dellenbaugh that the picture were taken at the points indicated in said notations and said exhibits were received in evidence. Robert N. Allen testified for complainant on direct ex-amination as follows: 2233- 2234 I am a civil engineer, living in Hollywood, and an employed in the Department of Water and Power by the city of Los Angeles. In 1921 I was with the U. S. G. S. on the San Juan River survey, Mr. Trimble being chief of that party and Mr. Miser being the geologist. We mapped the San Juan River below elevation 2235 3900. We put our boats in the San Juan River about three miles below Bluff on July 18, 1921, coming to that point overland from Thompson and the town of Green River. We carried our 2236 line of elevation from Moab, Utah. The San Juan River was then moderately high and I went down the San Juan to its junction with the Colorado and left the survey party at a point on the Colorado River about ten miles below the mouth of the San Juan. In making the San Juan survey we were very seldom out of the canyon and I would say that at no point were we more than three miles from what might be classed as the canyon. We usually camped at a new place every night and proceeded partly by boat and usually by walking as we went down the river. The survey 2237 was carried by walking as we boatmen usually brought our two boats down during the day to the new camp. Mr. Blake was a rod man and Mr. Loper was a boatman. I took one hundred and forty- two pictures on the San Juan and Colorado Rivers. 2238 Exhibits Nos. 265 to 402, inclusive, being photographs produced by the witness as having been taken on his San Juan trip were received in evidence, as was also Exhibit No. 403, that 289 |
