Show Record a packer to deliver these supplies at different points accessible to the river as far down as possible. That could only be tentative, because of the condition of the trails, but as a rule it was carried out, I think, almost as prearranged. All supplies were brought to 3869 us overland. Our boats would hold only enough supplies for 10 or 15 days and carry our equipment and ourselves. So we loaded at Good-ridge enough supplies to carry us to Slick Horn Gulch, an there we took on enough supplies to carry us through to the next point. With the exception of that first load, our party was supplied by pack train. The survey which I carried on was done with approved scientific instruments. The plan sheets of this survey were made in pencil in the field and later in ink in the office by me. The profile sheets, of course, were compiled here in the office. Sheets 14, 15 and 16 of Exhibit 10 are reproductions 3870 of the maps which I prepared in the field and they are correct reproductions. In making the survey of the river I indicated on the map the various rapids which I came to on the San Juan River by blue dashes within the solid blue line representing the water line of the river. The white spot in the river shown on sheet 14 at mile 21 is an island. Sand bars are indicated, and large boulders where they occur in rapids are shown by an oblong shaped circle. The rapids indicated on the sheets are rapids that were actually ob-served by me at the time I made the survey, and actually measured as to fall. 3871 I was personally on the ground that is called " Plute Farms". The land immediately adjacent to the river there was of a sandy tecture, but a short distance back it became rocky, and in some cases solid rock, but with more or less of a gentle slope. 3872 It was out up by quite a few little hollows. There was no land under cultivation and no people there at all. |
