Show GEOLOGIC EXAMINATION, DAM SITES SURVEYED. About 200 miles of Colorado river were mapped, 24 dam sites were surveyed, and a geologic examination was made at each site. In this survey three boats furnished the only means of transportation. Accounts of this trip through the Canyon of the Colorado, relating its perilous adventures and its scientific results, have already been widely published. The water available for developing power in the canyon section of Colorado river Is measured at gaging stations at Lees Ferry, Bright Angel creek in Grand Canyon National Park, and Topock. The measurements are made by current meters operated from, cables, and the river stages are recorded by automatic gages. In Oregon about 300 miles of Rogue river and its tributaries, 13 dam sites, and 5 reservoir sites were mapped. In its upper stretches the river flows through an area traversed by good roads, but in its lower stretches there are no roads, so that boats were used. In its lower part, from Grants Pass to the mouth, the river js very swift and difficult to run, but the survey boats made the trip without an upset. At one point, however, the rock walls approach each other so closely that one boat which was turned sideways by the current was lifted on a wave in such a way that it lodged between the walls, one end on each side, clear of the water. By good fortune the boat when priedl oose was headed into the rapids and came through unharmed. . . . . . , f In the survey of Illinois river, a trib- Platte river from Denver to the line were mapped, as utary of the Rogue, a pack train was used except around Bald mountain, well as Sweetwater and Encampment where no trail follows the river.
