Ten years ago a gentleman In Cal
lfornia planted a eucalyptus tree in his
front yard. which did not grow very
rapidly until about three years ago,
when Il took q start and Is now n fine
tree. When cleaning his well recently
he found tho bottom Of IL matted with
roots, which proved to be those of the
eucalyptus, which stands fully fifty feet
away. The well Is lined with B lex,
set In cement, through which the roots
had to break a passage to get TO the
water. So thirsty are they that they

From the hole in the ground which
was made by the @rolite, or lightning

specimens Of scorched clay, or mud vol
cano lava, were brought to town yester-
day, and also specimen OF fine coal.
This latter specimen will probably lead
to some prospecting for coal in the neigh.

FLOOD on the Desert,

Col. H. H. Markham, manager of the
King mine. the Orc Grande Company
and the Oriental mines, was in the city
yesterday. He has purchased the ORR
entail mill at Daggett, but cannot haul
ore at present from the mine to the mill
on account of the water ON the desert.
Dry Lake, which lies between the mine
and mill, lies again in keeping up the
name Of Dry Lake when the water is
foot deep and the soil Is Internationally
deep over all its surface, preventing the
passage Of ore teams for the present.
The Moiave river, which has been in
visible at DAggett. on the desert, for six
years past, and only thought of but by
the sight Of its old graveyard of sand,
came down this week ''rsvisiting the
glimpses Of the morn. i" when the weather
was clear, and drowning Chinaman
who was fishing for cottonwood trees
that came down the stream.
The delusioH that rain never falls on
the desert Is set OF rest by this great
bath which the whole country has re-
Gently taken. A record Of these occur
rences is now being made, aud hereafter
great many old traditions will be ex-
ploded by the present record Of facts.
A large part Of our country called now
desert is like large part Of Syria and
Arabia. and will have to have reservoirs.
anciently called cisterns, to store up the
water which falls upon the just and un-
just.
Every year this bugbear, called
desert" is being reduced materially
in size. What was called desert ten
years ago, is now opulent with orchards
and vineyards; and 80 in the progress
Of agriculture and horticulture, the area
Of tillAble land is steadily spreading, and
blessing the intelligent hand that at.
tempts its cultivation. In q few years
more. at least loo, 900 acres Of land now
known as desert, will be supporting
large population within the confines Of
this county. This. subject should at
tract the attention Of the people and set
them to work to reclaim vast amount
of land now unused and useless.
One Of the great problems Of the age,
is how to bring this great desert region
under successful cultivation. The work
has been well begun and mast be carried
out through succeeding years and gen.
erations. The amount expended to build
the dykes and sluices Of Holland and
Belgium to reclaim but q little spot Of
the earth, half the size OF San Bern
ardino county, would reclaim desert
that Is worth dozen countries like the
Netherlands and all the lowlands along
that coast.

The New Court House.

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
examined the plans Of the various archi
tscts for the new County Court House,
and rejected all Of them. The plans
presented were very msritorious. butall
the makers thereof had the impression.
that was general in the community. that
the building was to be ss large as the
size of the lot would permit. consistent
with its distance from the public streets
and neighboring buildings. This inn
precision made it essential to put the
county prison in the basement Of the
edi6ce. After careful consideration Of
the matter by the Board it was thought
best to purchase additional land adjoin.
