Show Record bar that day? That was the only sand bar we hit getting back to Warm Creek, but, in going down to Lees Ferry, we were stuck on o sand bar for about three or four hours along in the afternoon after we had crossed the Utah- Arizona line. 3116 The coal that I spoke of carrying by pack train was taken to Warm Creek and piled up there at Warm Creek, and when I left 3117 that pack train was still there. Later, along in the summer, after I quit the boat, I again took charge of that pack train, which consisted of three miles and a horse. We used this pack train for carrying coal from the mine to Warm Creek and later in 3118 the summer we used it for various jobs. There were two piles of coal, one at the mouth of Warm Creek and one at the camp, each of which had about one hundred tons of coal in it, and those piles of coal were at those places when I last saw them and have 3119 not been taken away. The wind has blown the sand and the water from the Colorado has covered up the piles of coal at the mouth of Warm Creek. The last time I was there I could see the sand piled up over it, but didn't see any coal. sand had drifted where the 3120 coal had been. I have good reason to believer that the coal was still there because nobody ever moved it. On my last trip down the river to Lees Ferry we had about five tons of coal in front of the boiler. On my first trip down the river we didn't carry 3121 any coal on the boat, except what we used for firing. Edward C. Summer testified for complainant on direct examination as follows: 3122 I am 53 year old and live at Cedar City, being engaged in the manufacture of soda water. My father was on the Powell expedition. 3123 I have been on the Green River and was on the Colorado River from Hite, Utah, down to Hanson Creek in the winter and spring of 1897 and 1898. I went down there to work for the Good Hope Placer Mining Company, my home then being in Grand Junction. 3124 In going to the river I went overland via Hanksville. Frank |
