DOWN ON THE RIO CRANDE
Contractor Tells of an Exciting Ex-
p~erience in Crossing Stream
In the West.

"To give you an idea of what
sort of a river the Rio Grande is
I'll tell you an experience that I
had in getting across it with a
derrick" said Raymond McDou-
gall, a mining man from New Mex.

man. II was a contractor in rock
work in those days and was TAX
ing my derrick from the east side
Of the river to the Magdalenas.
The derrick was on four wagon
wheels and four mules were haul
ing it. had my two helpers along
and one of them drove the mules.
He was an old timer, which was
lucky, and if / had trusted to my
own Judgment | might have made
a mistake that would have cost
me my mules and derrick, if not
my life.
"We reached the Rio Grande an
hour before shutdown and | saw
a wide river bed, but no water
only dry sand from one bank to
the other. 1t was a new kind of
river to me, but my driver said
that it was all right-that it was q
| way the Rio Grande had. The
water was there, only it was flow
ing through the sands under the
channel instead of in it. | be-
ing a tenderfoot was for camping
on the nearer bank where the
grass was good, but Mccartney,
the driver, said that would never
do unless | was willing 10 take my
chances of staying there a week or
two; that water sometimes came
down the channel. a good deal of
il, and that it would be well to get
across while we were sure that
we could.
1--WE were starting across over
the dry sands and was thinking
what an easy way it was Of ford
ing a river when of a sudden the
two lead mules were tiOundefing
ia a quicksand and the whole out
fit came near being drawn in. We
got the two leaders clear of the
harness and the other two mules
drew them out, one at a time. We
hitched them up again and by max
ing a long circuit got past the
quicksand and to the other bank
by that time it was ten o'clock
and the moon had risen. The
mules had just begun to climb the
bank when we heard a roaring
noise up the channel. It came
from a wall of water that
stretched from bank to bank and
was travelling toward us fast. 1t
looked in the moonlight to be four
feet high, and there was high wa
ter behind it sending it on. We
didn't need to holler to the mules.
They heard what was coming and
elawed up the bank like cats.
1--WE got out all right, derrick
and all-and there were not three
minutes to spare. Before we had
finished our supper the river bed
was full bank high, with a torrent
that eddied and roared as ID
rushed past our camping place as
ii it had been sorry to miss us and.
would like to get up where we
were. There was not a cloud III
