A DESERT TO BE A LAKE.
The Colorado Desert Basin Filling Up
With Water.

The Colorado Desert Basin Filling Up
With Water.
Tucson, ARI., June 30.-A special to the
Star from Yuma says: THE Colorado
desert basin at Salton, sixty miles west Of
Yuma, is rapidly filling up with fresh water
from a subterranean passage believed to be
connected With the Colorado river, caused
by the high waters of last February. At
last advlces it was converted into lake
five miles wide. Machinery is being re-
moved from the salt factories at Salton.
The Southern Pacific railroad track
passes through the basin for more
than fifty miles, its lowest point
being 263feet below the sea level. The Colo
RADIO river is leo feet above the sea level at
Yuma. IL the subterranean passage connects
with the Colorado river above Yuma the
lake will be over 400 feet in depth, and over
fifty miles along. If the waters continue to
rise the Southern Pacific track will be sub
merged for nearly 100 miles and the great
desert Of Colorado will be converted into a
vast lake"
COVERS TEN MILES SQUARE.
YUMA, ARI, June 30.-The water which
began to rise in the Salton salt mines
Saturday evening, driving out the laborers,
now covers an area of ten miles square
three to eight feet deep. The lower end of
the side track from the railroad to the salt
works is gone. The mines are
flooded. Indian Wells, sixty miles south,
ia 237 feet above Salton, and for forty miles
square the watA' is from three TO five feet
deep, being the overflow of the Colorado
river. All that prevents this water from
flowing into the Salton sink is bank
of loose sand nine feet high and
a mile wide. Parties in from Indian Wells
report the water walled up against this
bank. II is thought the water has found
an underground passage through the sand
into the basin. II SO it will carry the food
into it, as the Colorado for ten miles is over
flowing its west bank and pouring an i'm
mense body OF water into the Laguina
region at Indian Wells.

CHELSEA GRANITE TO Be WORKED.

A stock company TO be known a.
the s'Chelsea Granite Co.," has beer
formed with ample capital, to operate
one of the fine quarries located in the
south part of the town. The first meet.
ing of the stockholders viii be held on
Wednesday, Sept. 23d for the election
of directors, and it is proposed to COM
mence business at once.
The quality of the stone is conceded
by all competent judges to be excellent
and in many respects superior to any
now quarried, samples can be seen at
the First National Bank.
The stockholders of this new corpor-
alton include many of the leading bus
mess men of Chelsea and adjoining
towns, and as Chelsea exempts from
taxation for ten years all such enter
prises, it is quite likely from present
indications that more than one quarry
will be operated in the near future. q.

The Next House.

1t may be interesting to know that
the next House of Representatives will
be democratic. The democrats will
have majority of 142 over all opposi-
ton. This ought to place them in a
position to carry everything their own
way. The Farmers Alliance has only
8 members and can effect nothing eth
er way. The democrats will want to
tinker the tariff bill. The present one
however, is working so well it is more
than doubtful if any radical changes
can be introduced. 1t will require con-
siderable ingenuity TO so manage at
fairs on the part of the democrats as to
enable them to keep control of the
House through the next canvass. So
that the country need have no fears in
regard to the tariff. The free silver
coinage bill which is liable to pass both
House and Senate is sure to be headed
off by the President. The House win
consist OF 81 republicans, PAT demo-
Gratis and s alliance men. This sudden
preponderance OF democratic influence
is the outcome Of republican inditfer-
ence at the last election. If the repub-
licans who staid at home had gone to
the polls no such political catastrophe
would have befallen us.

Whatever else may be said about
Col. Hooker no one can deny but that
he is enthusiastic when he comes to
talk about Vermont. He is thorough
Vermonter and her interests are his in
terests. 1t is rare to find man who
has taken more time and spoken more
earnestly than he has done in this mat
ter of reviving an interest in our home
affairs. The state fair is one of his
pet institutions. On the occasion OF
the recent one at Burlington he was
approached by reporter OF the Mes
senger, who learned some of his senti-
ments. Among other things he says
in substance that the people must pat
ronize the fair in order to make it a
success. He thinks over S2,000,O
worth of horses have been sold out OF
the state as the direct result of the
State Agricultural Society and Horse
Breeders Association. In speaking OF
premiums offered for large crops, he
says there is one field Of corn in Wind
sor of 80 acres with rows three-quar-
tiers Of a mile long, another in Dunn
merston of 80 acres. He credits the
State fair with stimulating farming IN
dustry in a wonderful degree since its
organization. Horses are his special
pride and he speaks OF the enormous
demand for gentlemen's drivers in New
York city alone. Here is the place to
raise them, the more the better. 1t is
inst such men as the Col. who develope
orr resources as effectively as those
who invest capital.

The Ascutney Quarries.

Soon TO BE OPENED ON AsCUTNEY NOUN
TAIN-A LARGE INDUSTRY WILL DOUBT
LESS BE ESTABLISHED. HANDSOME SPEC
IMENs TAKEN OUT.
As granite is among the oldest and most
substantial of rock formations, it is natu-
raj that it should be sought after for pur
poses for which its strength and durabili-
ty naturally adapt it. The immense prod
uct of the New England granite quarries
is increasing rapidly every year. This in
crease is due partly to the fact that in all
our substantial cities of wealth, as well as
in the larger towns and villages, some
thing more permanent and enduring than
wood is best in the construction of build
ings, reservoirs, dams and the like. When
fire wipes out the structures that have ans
wered their purposes perhaps for years the
tendency is to build something that will
not burn down or blow down or collapse.
Granite forms a constituent part in all
these enduring improvements. Nor is
granite rare commodity in New England
1t is found in varying quantity and quail
ty on almost every hill in this .vicinage-
But it is more rare that it is found where
all the conditions of quality, quantity, ac-
feasibility and ease of manipulation are
combined in one. The investigation of
the parties who have been experimenting
with the beautiful greensboro of Ascutney
mountain has brought to light condition
OF Things more SATISFACTORY IMAM the most
enthusiastic had dared to hope.
