Lake Coisrad 0.

Yesterdays Star says: Advices from Yuma yesterday are to the effect that the waters of the new lake in the Colorado Desert are rising very slowly. Indian runners were sent around the lake yesterday t0 discover an inlet, but found none which shows that the raising lake is fed from sub terranean source. It is a noticeable fact that she artesian wells in the basin have ceased flowing since the lake made its appearance.
 Yesterday the Southern Pacific Company brought Whitehall boat and crew from Santa Monica who are exploring the lake.
 The Colorado desert which is below sea level is about fifty eight miles in length as the Southern Pacific runs. If the water were to rise to the level of the Colorado at Yuma it would make lake more than 125 miles in length.
 The water is evidently coming from the Gulf of California through a sub terranesn channel. The gulf is 263 feet higher than Salton and the sur rounding desert. It is believed the maln track of the Southern Pacific Company will be permanently sub merged beneath the waters of Lake Colorado for distance of more than one hundred miles. At present Sal ton Is five feet under water. What to- day will bring forth can only be con- iertlred

SEEKING ITS LEVEL.
The Colorado River Breaks
 out in a New Spot.

The Tucson Star contains an ac- count of phenomins near Yuma to the effect that the Colorado river has found & subtersnean passage into the great basin of the Colorado Desert and is emptying the floods therein. On Sunday last lake of fresh water five miles wide had taken the place of the parched desert. and at Ssiton Station the water was approaching so rapidly that the machinery was being remOv- ed out of the salt works for safety. The water is fresh and it Is believed that during the great floods of last February, a sub gereanesn had been partially opened and the present high waters completed the connection Oi tine river with the desert basin. The Southern Pacific Railroad passes through the basin for many miles, the lowest point over which the track passes being two hundred and sixty feet, below sea level and I60 feet be- low the bed of the ColOraGO river a Yuma. If the connection with the Colorado is above Yuma the lake can reach depth of more than 400 feet and over 100 miles in length.

THE DESERT LAKE
How the News is Received in
 Tombstone.

The lake which is forming at Salton and which extends no one knows how far in either direction, causes much discussion in Tombstone.
 There are many theories regarding the cause of the rapid filling of the basin with water. The most plausible idea is that the water from the Col orado, long ways below Yuma has broken through the bar of sand and debris which has been thrown up for years past and that the rush of water through the aperture, small at first, has reached great proportions and hat the water is rushing into 1t in a Ii immense body, which will continue to do so until the level is reached and the entire country flooded up to sea level.
 speaking today with MT. J. P. McAllister he mentioned the fact that he had often heard Ike James, former. ly of the Contention mine of thIs camp tell of making a survey across this bar for the government under the super vision of General Fremont. IL WAS the .atUer's idea that the water went out through the place where the bar now is, and that We're this opened again, and kept open, an inland sea of great magnitude would be formed. This opening nature is sup. posed to have made, and the result of such vast change will effect, wish out doubt, the climate in the entire Southern part of this Territory. Th4 barrier which has for perhaps hun. dreds of years, held the rod which has kept the rains of the Pacific from eros. sing the desert, will be cut and our winter season will be characterized by wet instead of a dry period.
Tombstone epitaph., 1891-07-05

Indian runner was sent to make thorough examination as to how it passed the sand hills and how it reaches the desert, 1t is believed the water leaves the river just above Pilot Knob, sixty miles above Salton, and works its way Co the low ground this side of the river. It will take two or three days for the Indian to make his report. Two OF three sailors Sili sail south from Salton aud attempt to reach the source of the flow. while the Indian follows the bank of the river from YIma. As the water does not come within mile of the railroad track there is nc obstruction to travel and no danger is apprehended.
 NEW YORK-Official encouragement was made today that the property and business of F Lorillard < Co, the tobacco manufacturers had been turn ed over to a stock company Co be known as the P.

Justice ys, Law,

Justice Slater of Tucson has decid. ed queston of law based on justice, which is such prepOsterous proposi- ton in Tucson that he is liable to lose his official position He hs, I,,l Jared the act passed by the last legislature which provides that no calf shall be sold until branded, as Inconsttution- al. The case in question came up in the arrest of T. c. Mckinney, who sold six head of calves without brands This Is the way nis honor reasoned
 "The law makes 1t practically i'm possible to use or dispose of calf be- fore it is six months old, because no one outside of the Write Mountain reservation will contend for the bar barous practice of branding young and tender calves before the age of two or three months. Then 1t will take the m two or three months more to heal up, and then 1t will take several months more to accumulate flesh sufficient to lit them for either sale or use. The law then, totally suspends the com merce in calves throughout the terri ! tory of Arizona.
 A law that makes an act a cIime in which there can possibly be Q wrong doing. such as a man selling is own calf to his neighbOr, or killin, it for his own use, without preyi. n4 branding of the animal; and law which commands acts recognized as barbarous, inhuman anu brutal by the civilized world, with no adequate req | sons for such barbarism and brutality, will certainly be declared odious aud detrimental to the present enlighten- ed public policy of all nations, states and territories. Hence, this court has no hesitation in declaring tine law un- constitutional and void. The defend ant is discharged"

THE news of the lake of water being formed at Salton on the S. P. road has caused much speculation regarding the source of it's supply. If the water were salt It would be plausible theory that it came from the Gulf Of Califor- mia which is t,etweeA 200 and 30n feet higher than Salton, but the statemer: being made that it is fresh would not foster that idea, although 1t is hard to discern how fresh water even, could come up through the ground in that vicinity where the formation under nsath for miles in extent Is bed of salt.

THE constitutional convention be- gins operations on Sept ' and must adjourn by Oct7 No date is set for the vote to be taken by the people up on the acceptance or rejection of the constitution, this being left to the will of the delegates. They can, ii they choose, place the date two years hence, or in November of this year. 1t would seem that this was an oversight on the part of the legislature. We believe that the majority ot the delegates are in favor of statehood and If so, the sooner the election IS held, the better. Let us go before congress at it's next session and make an attempt at least, to break away from our keepers and escape from the mortIfying and un- American position in which we are placed under our present form of gov ernment. When our governor and judges are answe-sble to the people oi Arizona and not power on the other side Of the continent, then they will consult our wishes and our conven- fence, and not their own. The sooner this state of affairs is brought about, the sooner will the people take heart and have something to draw to.
