Show Record that belonged to Captain Yoki. I do not recall the name of the boat. We afterwards had two launches there. One was named the 3679 " Belle of Shannon". On the first trip Captain Yoki went down with me. The boat was 15 or 16 feet long, 14 or 15 Horse- power, 10 Horse- power perhaps, and drew about 15 inches of water. I had with me some War Department survey maps made in 1909. I have copies of them here. 3680 Exhibit 480, entitled " Plan of the Green River, Utah, United States Engineer's office, Los Angeles, May 19, 1910", is one of the maps which I used on that occasion. Complainant's Exhibit 480, being a map entitled " Plan of the Green River, Utah, United States Engineer's Office, Los Angeles, May 19, 1910," was received in evidence. Special Master: I only admit it at the present stage as a map which he consulted in the process of his official work. The map that has been identified and marked as Exhibit 480 is a part of the report made by Lieutenant Leeds. 3682 The legend " From a survey made in March, 1909, by Mr. Harrigan, of the United States Geological Survey" on Exhibit No. 480, means that the Geological Survey had made the original map, and when Lieutenant Leeds had undertaken his investigation he used this as a basis for his maps. The imprint " H. W. 4059" means the water elevation above 3683 sea level. The imprint " W. L. 4028.7, October 11, 1909" means the elevation of the water on October 11, 1909. " H. W. 4043" means the elevation of the high water mark. " W. L." means actual water level at time of the survey and " H. W." means the high water mark, as seen or observed by the surveyor, irrespective of the time when he was making the survey, or when a hydrographer is looking for the high water mark. That is the best information he can get. I took the map for the purpose of finding some visible way of getting down to the junction of the Green and Grand Rivers in the event I found a good prospect for a dam site. |
