THE SALTON LAKE,
The Source of supply Traced to the
Colorado River.

| Los ANGELES, July THE party sent
out by the Southern Pacific from Ogilbie
last week to find the source of the Salton
Lake have returned. The following dis
patch was received at the railroad office
to day: ''NIr. Garter arrived at 9:3O last
night, and gives the following report:
The water leaves the Colorado River at a
point eight miles from FL Rio, and flows
through several channels from four
to SIX feet deep, and from thirty to
sixty feet wide. 1t flows westward
along the sand hills, on line of the old
overland stage route, and through Alamo
Mucho Station. The channels at this
! station join in making stream 100
yards wide or more, and having
velocity of four miles an hour, and
gaining. 1t was too deep to get the
depth, but the old slough at this point
was formerly twenty feet deep. This is
about thlrty-fve miles from the river.
I'VE followed the stream two miles
lurther IN the direction OF Indian Wells.
The water is all the away from half a
mile to two miles wide, and from two to
| four feet deep, having q velocity OF two
miles an hour. The main channel passes
Cooks Well, Seven Wells, Gardeners
Station, or Butte Station, then on TO
Alamo Mucho, making distince of fifty
miles from the Colorado River. This is
the point it enters the desert for Salton.
The old stage route, with the exception
OF five or six miles, is all covered with
water. The only way to reach this point
IS over the sandhills and mesa"
This settles the matter OF supply con-
clusively.
