sALToN SINK LAKE.
It's Supply Comes From the Now
River Country.
Return Of the Indian Sent Out on nl
Exploring Expedition-Tho water
Rising Slowly.

The following dispatch was received
Sunday night from G. w. Durbrow, SUI
perintendent of the salt works at Sal
ton; ''The Indian sent out from Vol
cano Springs has returned. His state
ment settles the question Of the
water coming from the New
river country. The water is coming
into the sink at Salton through Cares
co creek. l made diagram of his trip
as he told me. His story was compar-
ed with the map and found truthful in
every particular. The course of the
water can be traced by land from
Fig Springs. The water empties into
Salton sink twenty five miles south Of
but moving to the west fast" There
are no new features about Salton Lake.
A dispatch from the railroad agent
says the water has risen one and half
inches in the past twenty-four hours
and is much fresher. Since the source
of the water has been definitely solved
as coming from the Colorado river by
way of New river, and the fact that the
railroad tract is in no danger, interest
has subsidized, and all that can be done
is to wait for developments The stead
lily increasing volume Of the water in
the Salton Sink, in the face of the fall
in the river, has caused a belief that
the flood must have its source in the
gulf high tides, which might easily
break down the slender barrier of sand
which stands between it and its old
bed. Should this Theory be correct, it
is evident that we are on the eve Of
witnessing one of the most in
teresting geographical changes which
has taken place on this con-
tinent. The increase in the area of tho
gulf would itself be small in Importance,
compared with the great modification
in the climate which this inland SEQ
would cause Not the least remarka-
BILE feature of this phenomenal occur
renee is the great difficulty Of obtain
ing authentic information. The water
is too shallow to navigate and too deep
to drive through, while the frightful
heat makes it an act of great danger
to venture away from the water and
shade.

SPEAKING Of the decision annulling
the charita bic provisions of the Ogden
will and the Tilden will, the New York
Herald says: 1T would seem that if a
man wishes to trust his chosen friends
with the spending of his money after
his death he should have a legal right
to do So. But by the law of New York
that privilege is denied. The theory
of the law is that the trustees may
abuse the trust confided to them.
That, however, is the business of the
testator, not the courts If he is will
ing to confde in his trustees no one
else has any right to complain" Still,
such is the law
