out of the courtroom.

A report, says the Visaia Delto, comes from
the Sierra Nevada mountains Of the discovery
of the tlmbers OF stranded vessel resembling
those of II Chinese junk, high up in the noun
talns, between Mineral King and the head
waters of Kings river. The sound portions Of
the timber resemble camphor wood, and it is
said, still retain faint smell The tastenings
are of copper: the rigging, etc, are, OF course,
all goAe. \ number of bones, supposed to be
human, were also found in the vicinity, and
upon the adjacent slopes there is abundant evil
dencc of the previous occupation of the waters,
in the shape of shells as well as the occasional
finding of petrtied fish. That this valley has
at one time been an inland sea is admitted by
geOogists but that these. waters were nayigat
ed by Celestial Scamcn one or two thousand
years ago has never been claimed, even by the
Chinese themselves. But these sane people
do claim to have been the original discoveries
of the country, and this find seems to give
color to the claim. II has also been claimed
by them that vessels of theirs have been wreck
ed on this coast, and that portions of the crew
have returned to China; but that the wreck it
self should be located, and that this location
should prove to be in Tulare county, is surely
an interesting fact, inviting the inspection OF
the curious and the solution OF the scientific.

sums of money to the farmers of that county

OUR TOWN ASSOCIATION.
The Clerk Makes a Re-
 port.
It's Financial Condition and
 Other Matters.

ED. HERALD: At the request of several citizens make brief state ment osthe financial condition of the Town Association of the town of Phoenix, and other matters relating thereto.
 Phoenix is located on the north half of Section 8, T. 1 N, R. 2 E. Total number of blocks, 98; total number of lots, 1,14S Of these lott and blocks the following disposition has been made of them:
 One block donated to town as a Public Plaza; one deeded to the county for Court House purposes also, two lots south of the Court House Plaza deeded to the county :; four lots south of the south of Court House Plaza, deeded to NJ. E. Church 1; four lots in block 91 to NJ. E. Church South; one lot in block to Catholic Church. Block 92 has been deeded to School District No. 1, for school purposes. Blocks 55, 56, 57 and 5S have been and now are used by the town and county for a graveyard no town property has ever been deed ed or set apart for that purpose. A spot should be selected, outside of the town for thls purpose, and prop erly laid out, ornamentcd and cared for.
 There yet remains undecided, out side of the graveyard blocks, eight blocks of 92 lots-two of the lots be- ing short four lots. In addition to these unsold blocks there are three lots-lot in block S2 and lots 10 and 12 in block "A not yet disposed of
 The whole amnunt of money re- ceived from the sale of lots since the organization of the town is 8, ,137.
 The amount expended for all pur- poses-s4, ,8e7 50.
 Amount in treasury, S34 50; amount due for unpaid property, $75 amount in hand of Probate Judge, subject to the order of the Board of Trustees, $40. Total-S249 50.
 The town has nine miles of street ditches to keep open and clean, and has put in during the past eight months, 36 plank fumes at street crossings. No officer gets pay for his services except $20 per quarter that the Board gives its clerk. Economical as the Board have always attempted to be, it requires no incon- siderable sum of money to pay its constant daily expense During the past five months, the citisens have paid part of the cost of a man in charge of the ditches.
 No town property has been sold since January IS, 1879. Several of the blocks sold on the contract plan have been paid out since that date
 call the attention of the citizens to the fact that in few years the whole water system of our town will have to be changed and improved, as large part of the town cannot be properly irrigated by the present i'm perfect system of ditches and drain age. Respectfully submitted.
