real value is without doubt fully three
times this amount. The elevation Of
the general country about Flagstaff is
about 1000 feet above sea level. Co

in the United States as n shesp-raising
country, the wool from their French
American Merino sheep ranking with
the best Australian woods. There are
sheep in Coconino county whose pedi.
gree traces back to the best Asiatic
blood. The fibre of the wool is finer,
longer and stronger than any known
wool. As fine forest as exists in the
world is found in Coconino county,
there being nearly 100000 acres.
Pines 200 feet high and from fys to
six feet in diameter are not uncommon;
red and yellow juniper, cypress, vel;
nut, oak, ash, hickory, sycamore, cedar,
wild cherry, locust, iron.wood, and
many other varieties, oil Of them in
quantity and size sufficient for COM
rhercial use.

THE SALTON SE 4.

Hon. E. NJ. Sanford, ,ex-Assistant
United States Attorney-General of
Arizona, and at present a resident of
Prescott, in that territory, an attorney
for the Atlantic & P.c hc railroad, was
in Denver for few hours yesterday.
Mr.. Sanford is one Of the hest Known
and popular lawyers in the Southwest.
He was found Mt the Markham, and
in conversation said 81 want 10 cor
rect one fallacy which is believed by
many people concerning the Salton sea.
1t contains mostly the overflow of the
New river, WHICH backs up from the
Gulf of Mexico, and also an overflow
of the Colorado river The floods are
caused just from this state of afTGrs,
and 10y no means have they been as
extensive as reported This sea is
bounded by the San Jacinto mountains
and the San Bernardino range, which
divides Yuma from the Mojave desert,
and lies wholly in the state OF Cali
fornia. a greis deal has been said
about the gogernment making an
opening from the Colorado river to the
sea in order to preserve the life Of tie
lake, but the first step-necessary is for
the government to procure a large por-
tion Of Lower California. / contend
that this sea is controlled hy the winds
which shift the sands. | believe it is
not practical to get the Colorado river
into the desert, because If the channel
were a mile wide and fifty feet deep,
the drifting sands would fill up the
channel and there rein III, so rs to cat
off all supply of water. The ilow into
Sa,ton sea is 1t the rate Of 1900 cubic
feet per second, and that is being
evaporated at the rate of nine feet in
depth per annum. AS the lake is not
moro than fifteen feet deep Mt any
place, inside Of two years it will he en-
tirely dry. Old settlers in that vicinity
claim that an overflow only occurs
once in fifteen or twenty years.
Mr.. Sanford stated that railroad
matters in the territory were u little
quiet, hut that the new line from Pres
'catt to Phoenix would be commenced
within thirty days Denver News.
