DESERT LAKE. !
Tho Water Slowly but Surely Rising In

Tho Water Slowly but Surely Rising In
Southern California
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. !7.-The Desert
lake in southern California will be per-
manent There is no longer any doubt
about it. The latest reports from Sal
ton are that the water is slowly
but surely rising, at an average
rate of three-fourths Of an inch
per day. This makes the amount Of
water now in the Salton basin to DO
400, ,544, 900 cubic feet. 1t has been
just forty-eight days since the flood
was first noticed. At this rate the
flood into the Salton basin has been
1875 cubic feet per second. This is
exclusive of the amount absorbed by
evaporation and iniltration for the
rounda bout distance of 200 miles that
the water takes a coming from the
river to Salton.
In March, 1873, the Colorado river at
Yuma had an average flow of $3.50
cubic feet per second. rs measured by
the government engineer. For several
months past its flow has not been less
than 100, 900 cubic feet per second to
ten times the amount. the bulk OF which
has flowed to the gulf but large por-
ton has found its way to the desert.
When the river stood at the l0-foot water
mark at Yuma water has always flowed
into New river, which floods the In
dian wells region. The river at Yuma
is not yet below the 20 foot mark. Be-
sides this the channel OF the great
break below Eric is cut so deep that the
water will hereafter flow into the
desert at the lowest stages OF the river.
This will insure the pcrmanency of
the supply OF the lake at salton. Even
allowing, as 1t Is claimed, that the
evaporation viii equal the inflow from
this on. II this state of things continues
till next winters rain there will then
be a still greater rise at Salton. and the
entire basin embracing an area of 3, 600
square miles below sea level, and over
100 feet below the Colorado river. will
continue to Gil.
