Deser, eysser-.

Oysters II inches in diameter and others 22 inches in length are of the classes that the ancient inland sea. new called desert, lying just west Of Yuma once produced. At six differ ent penods has that great basin been under water. Three times in the ages pas. has the salt sea covered it, and three times has the fresh water claim ed i! for its own. Each water age has l,ft it's written history recorded on the rocks, and in The vast shell deposits of its hills and mesas. Thousands oi acres covered hundred of feet in depth with solid rocks, or the debris Of ages made up snlely of oyster shells and hundreds of varieties of clans and shells and of other biyslves; are to be seen today, by anyone who will take the trouble to make the pilgrimage thither.
 Many of them are in perfect pairs every line and ridge. carve and mark are perfect, even ,the color has been preserved. and yet the shells are per fectly pctrifed and solid as any spec imen Of limestone rock. Prof c. K Orcutt, the wel!-knwn scientist has one that was picked up near Cariso creek that measures II inches in diam eteF and Is probably the largest and most perfect one ever found in this or any other country.-Sentinel.

At any rate the Examiner is worked up about it and is investigating the affair at both ends of the line.
