and he jumped aside and ran before
Mr.. Bragg had become seated in the

a LAKE DRYING CP.-In yesterday s
Enterprise we find the following ill.,
teres:iug statement:
While in this city yesterday, Lieut..
Wheeler called Oh l. l.. James, the
well known civil and mining engineer.
In the course Of the conversation thar
ensued between the two gentlemen,
Liuetenant Wheeler referred to a GER
tain section Of Lower California in
which Mr.. James made surveys in
1873, for a certain purpose. In making
these surveys MIR. James mapped a
large area of country. Lieutenant
Wheeler had one of James, maps with
him while in that region this Summer.
On tho map was marked large lake
"A lake 100 square miles in extent.
All that Lieutenant Wheeler found OF
this lake was small pond. The indi-
cations are that in one or two years
this will have disappeared. The lake
that is thus rapidly becoming extinct
is situated between Signal mountain
fCocopah range) and the Coast Range
FOUNTAINS. Mr.. James found the lake
very shallow about the shores, it
being not more than a foot in depth
100 feet from the shore. Mr.. James
filled y canteen with water from the
lake and brought it home with him.
He found it to be . saturated solution
of salt. In drying up the waters of
the lake have left a large deposit Of

GENTLEMEN.-Theu undersigned citi.
zens, voter and Taxpayers, appreciat-
ing the efforts made by you to relieve
us of the curse of the presence of Chi
nese in our midst, ask your further ell
deavor to procure the abrogation or
modification of the Burlingame treaty
as speedily as possible. None know
better than yourselves the necessity
of such an effort. The virtue of our
families demand such an effort. We
recognize the movement you have al
ready made as step In the right di-
rection, and desire you to still labor
until the desired object is obtained.
This memorial is not sent to you as q
partisan movement, but comes from
us as citizens. We ask this as mat
ter of right and know no party in the
matter. The Chinese curse is blight
ing the prospects of our youth, retard-
ing the development OF our country,
and taking from our social being the
very essence of its vitality-the man.

tions. AS our Representatives we ask
of you for the aid that the emergency
demands, and promise you our cor
dial support in your effort.

No words of commendation are nec-

nearly every we'll regulated household

and finish it cannot be excelled, and
all of the latest Improvements and at
tachments are incorporated and adapt
ed to it. The mechanism is the most
simple and durable; the easiest regu-
lated and the least liable to get out of
order. Everybody who has tried the
machine speaks enthusiastically in its
favor, and this fact accounts for its
immense popularity and the many
thousand machines which are annu-

william L. Inoines, :. sailor, a---
ashore. from a schooner under the
command of Capt. Layton, on the
Lower California coast, and was nev-
er after heard from. His fate is at
last cleared up. Mr.. Till A. Burnes,
who has just returned from San Quen-
tin, Lower California, gives the story.
He says that few days ago a human
skeleton was discovered near San
Ygnacio, below San Quentin, few
miles from the shore; and near the
bones was found carpet sack, much
weather beaten and half buried in the
sand. In the sack some papers were
found. Two of them are before us,
and we copy them. They are address
sed to Mr.. Chas. Hensley of this place.
The first is the following letter:
May 29th, 1872.
Dear Charley I write these few
lines to you by w. P. Thomas. He
has got pretty bad, and / have con-
sented to let him go ashore and try to
reach San Diego overland, though it
is against my advice; but he says he
will not be able to live much longer if
he stays aboard. l have borrowed (30)
thirty dollars from him in case l
should need it to get some provisions
at San Quentin, and 1 have given him
an order which hope you Will see
paid. would write and give you all
the particulars, but Bill will be able
to explain BEST l must finish in all

Mr.. d. HenSley:-Please pay to the
order of w. P. Thomas the sum of say
(30) thirty dollars, and charge the
same to the schooner's account.
F. LAYTON.
Poor Bill never reached San Diego
to give the account of the voyage and
present his order. From the locality
where his bones were found, it is pro-
bable that he died within q few days
after landing. The party who found
his remains, after so long time. gave
them decent burial near the spot.
