EXAMINE carefully, and clean up your yards at once. So says the Board of Health. The order is an excellent one, and comes in good time. There is no doubt, but that the little sickness which has visited the houses of some of cur best citi- gems, who live in one of the most desirable portions of town, ali arises from local causes, not found in either of their dwellings which 1t has en- tered. Its origin is known and can be named. Let us have no more of 1t. Let the COW ard calf pens, pig styes, and other such nuisances, be removed proper distance from any dwelling or well, and then be kept clean. Every water closet, cesspool, slop or dishwaier deposit in the back yard, should be cleaned, dry earth and little chloride of lime sprink. led over in, and around them two or three times per week. Gentlemen doctors, Board of Health, do not be afraid to do your duty.

A Dcsert Trip.

In long and most Interesting
 letter, Joseph s. Carter of Hall Han.
 lons writes us, how that he and his
 travelling companion Win. McC. La bran struggled for five days in the
 terrible heat, sands and water to fol
 low the overflow from the Colorado river at Algodones, west towards In
 dian Wells. They left July 2d, and
 succeeded in getting 28 miles the
 irst day and night, near Seven Wells,
 where they found the wg ter from two
 to four feet deep, at Burke's, l3 miles
 west, in front of the house it was II
 feet deep and the channel one-half
 mile wide, at Alamo Mucho, l2 miles
 from Burke's, the stream was 450
 feet wide and 9 feet deep, with 8
 current of four miles per hour. Two
 miles further north, it spreads cut to
 be two miles mide and from two to four feet deep. They found the water only 21 feet lower than it was in
 February, while the Colorado at this
 point had fallen l 1 feet and 6 inches, They found no feed for their horses except mesquite beans and a little calitaf Labrau's mare gave out the third day and he had to walk four miles into camp. Mir. Carter's two dogs also fell behind and were left, but one came in afterwards. The last day they had to walk nearly all the way home, and lead their horses 20 miles, by the crooked route they had to travel over the saad hills. They found upon examining in a boat the point of overflow on the Colorado river where last year the river cut in three miles to the west. ward, that the water flows in ten channels, according to MT. Carter's map sent with his letter, each one from 30 to 60 feet, and one 150 feet wide and from two to six feet in depth. Two or three of these unite near the old Martinez place, and make a stream three.quarters of a l mile wide. They found that the Digueno Indians had all been driven | from the Ortega rancheria by the flood, to the sand hills to the north. All of the old station houses at Al l amo Mucho, Burke's and Cooks have been carried down by the high water. Their trip covered a distance of about l45 miles. The old overland 1 road Is nearly all under water The | nap Mr. Carter sent the SENTINEL 'f the overfowed section, examined 1 oy him, is most complete and plain, and & credit to him. They made the 5rip for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. No better men, men of and travel in that region ;ould have been found for the investi- ,ation than Messrs. Garter and La ,ran, and the railroad company was in securing them for such lifficult and dangerous task.

NEW river and Hardy's Colorado are one and the same stream, and it has but one mouth, 22 miles below the LerdO Colony, and I2 miles above Horse Shoe bend in the Colorado river. New river aud its branches arc $50 miles in length It has 10 branches. The Pescaderc, which leaves Cottonwood slough, 30 miles below Fl Rio, enters New river l5 mics below Mt Mejor. The Di- gaeno, which leaves Algodonss at the overflow, the Willow lake which heads just south of the Cook Wells sand hills, the overland which heads Tn Rancho Viejo lake and nearly follows the old overland stage road to Alamo Mucho, and the Alamo, which connects the Salton and New river basins These all unite near the Padrones, at the foot of Willow lakes and connect with New river proper five miles south of the vol canoes. To the west of these Mud flake, Big Holes, and Sackett's Wells, branches have one end in the Indian Wells basin. They join near Indian Wells and make up New river proper. The Coyote Wells branch rises iu the mountains g miles souti: west of the stage road at Coyote Wells station. The Pinto branch is made Dp of Bitter Creek and the creek of the Blue Gross and ioins New river l2 miles west of Indian Wells. The Mud Lake, Sackett Wells and Big Hole branches join in one to the north, aud before the stream they form, was filled up with sand. ii connected the Indian Wells basin with the basin at Sal ten.

ThE new water wheel invented by Civil Engineer Norton, forever set ties the question as to the practical, economical, and general use of the Colorado risser, for any, and every purpose, where power is required. The fact that It can be built of any size, and placed anywhere in the river, brings it within the reach of all. It is a practical illustration of the idea advanced some time ago by the SENTINEL, in regard to the i'm Sortant uses te winch the current of the Colorado can be put.

As civilization progressed tattooing

faring men add 10 their income by prac-
ticing tattooing the operation being
performed in much the same way as
that in vogue among the cannibals of
Polynesia. A sailor whose skin is not
ornamented by number of impossible
designs in various colors is considered

probably the reason why he is as scarce
