Show Record surveys that have been made in the field but not yet approved and the later surveys would show on the later maps. G. D. D. Kirkpatrick testified on cross examination as follows: 2693 We have meandered the Colorado and Green Rivers as far as the public surveys extend. As far as my knowledge goes that is 2694 also true of the San Juan River but I don't know as to that river. I was in charge of the San Juan survey just as much as of the Colorado survey, but I do not know the conditions of all the surveys along the San Juan; some of them may have stopped at the river and not been meandered. The only way I could tell would be to get all the plats. I know that portions of the San Juan River have been meandered, and so far as I know that meandering has taken place wherever the public survey has extended to the rive. This would be in line with our instructions, and so far as I know and according to my best knowledge, the San Juan River has been meandered wherever the public survey has extended to 2695 that river within the State of Utah. Our survey work north of of the Utah- Arizona line in 1917 did not then touch the Colorado 2696 River but came at points to within ten miles of the river. I know there are coal veins down in that section where we then sur-veyed but don't know whether we tied any of our surveys with coal veins in that region. The coal veins I saw down there were probably thirty miles from the river. I think those I saw are just east of the Paris on Cottonwood but am not certain. I have never seen the coal veins that are supposed to be in the Warm 2697 Creek section. I have seen coal at Warm Creek and in 1917 observed a pile of coal on Warm Creek maybe three or five miles up from 2698 the Colorado River. I do not know where the dam across the Green River is with reference to the town of Green River, Utah, and have never seen it. The country I am familiar with above the town of Green River is a strip about three miles wide and forty miles 2699 long. I rode up in that particular locality once. I have been in |
