Blanco Encalada was sunk. The purpose Is,
without doubt. To attack Coqutmbo

SUDDEN RISE OF TULARE LAKE.
Many Settlers Driven from the Ranches
by Floods.

The wonderful phenomenon now wit
messed on the Colorado Desert, at Salton,
is being repeated at Tulare, Cal, where
the practically dred-up Tulare Lake,
the largest body of fresh water in the
State is beginning to fill up, driving
out many settlers who have located
ranches on the rich alluvial bed
of the old lake. There is a legend
among the Indians Of Tule River
that the lake once covered many
times its present area, that IL receded
year by year till 1t had shrunk TO a small
pond. around which were gathered fish
ish Nillages Of their grandfathers, but
suddenly the waters from the snow
capped Sierras rolled down into the great
Tu are Valley, which is hundred miles
wide at this point, the axe began to
spread, Indian villages were swept away
before the occupants could remove their
effects, and many Indians were drowned.
Those who escaped fled to the
foothills, and they and their de-
seen iants refused to dwell near the
shore of the lake. The heavy snowfall
last winter in the mountains brought
down an enormous quantity OF water
when the spring thaws set In. The soil
was a so heavily soaked and couldn't alb
sorb the usual amount of moisture, hence
all the streams have carried water to the
lake, but principally the Kern and Tu @
Rivers. III. III. Fuman, sett er who
has ranch at the mouth of Tule River,
says the stream is sixty feet wide and
fifteen feet deep, and has swept away
several ranch houses Fuman says
the lake has spread out nearly ten
miles in few days and the
waters have risen ten feet a
new road made round the lake is under
water, and several men who tried to-
follow IL had narrow escapes from drown
ing. This sudden rise of the waters and
spread of the lake is remarkable, as for
ten years the lake has been gradually
receding, and scientists who have exam
ined it predicted il would entirely dry
up soon The loss TO settlers around Oh,
lake is heavy. The land is extremely
fertile, and there is pro ect of building
levee to confine the waters OF Tulare
Lake, which is noted for its large sup.
ply OF fish and mussels. Before the
present rise IL was about twentyfour by
twenty miles I'm area, but ten years ago
IL was fully double this area
