The Romance of the Colorado River

CHAPTER III
51/53

In Green River occurs a salmon-trout attaining a length of at least four feet.

This is also found in the Colorado proper, where another fish, with a humpback, is to be caught.

I do not know the name of this, but imagine it the same as has in latter days been called "squaw-fish." All over the region the rocks are seamed by mineral veins.

Some of these have already poured forth millions of dollars, while others await a discoverer.

On the river itself gold is found in the sands; and the small alluvial bottoms that occur in Glen Canyon, and a few gravel bars in the Grand, have been somewhat profitably worked, though necessarily on a small scale.
