Exploring Parties to Ascertain the Source Of

the Water.
YUMA. July I-Carter's report on the
source Of Saltou Lake indicates that the
water from the Colorado River is flowing
westward ffty-two miles, which fact is not
unusual, having occurred before. Carter
could 60 no further than Alamos on account
of water, but his report does not establish
the fact that the water seen by him is the
source of Salton Lake, as innumerable
sloughs exist in that section and run back
into The river, readily draining the flood
waters. Two exploring parties left yester-
day In boats to 60 down the Colorado to try
and discover the cause of the water rising
In Salton Basin. Another party leaves here
at daylight tomorrow on the same mission
and will be accompanied by guide thor
oughly familiar with the section to be ex-
piored. Colorado River is falling, but Salton
Lake is slowly and surely rising.
