LOO square miles. If it could be filled with
water it would make very nice lake, come
what larger than the State Of Rhode Island.
There has been good deal Of talk for years
about turning the Colorado River into il. In
1871 James and Stretch made preliminary
survey with that view, and another survey
was made in 1875, % by Lieut.. Eric Berg
land, Of the Engineers. The main difficulty
is that IN the United States the Colorado
flows for about 300 miles through a deep
chasm, with perpendicular walls Of rock ris-
ing on both sides from 1900 TO 5000 feet. II
We turned its waters ia ia tic United States we
should have 10 bore an immense tunnel, or else
90 back above this gorge. We might, If We got
Mexcios consent, build dam on her territory
which would force the water 10 run back, as it
is doing now. But have my doubts whether
an the water IN the Colorado is sufficient 10
maintain such a lake. The evaporation is tre-
mondous. We have frequently had the Their
momcter register llJs there and this would
take up an inch OF water q day. The ovapora-
ton is greater than in tho Desert Of Sahara.
You can jump into the water there aud get your
clothes IS full Of water as they will hold, and
in an hour they viii b. as dry as q bone"

10 Washington, on the Fourth Of July. As is
usual elsewhere, many of them were premature
in their patriotism aud wanted 10 begin cele-
brating several days before, but the police re-
pressed this by numerous arrests, in which the
youthful celebran,s suffered nothing worse
than good scare aud few hours detention at
the station houses. On the Fourth they were
allowed pretty wide liberty, and more powder
was burned, and more noise made than ia q
cOod-sized battle.

building which they are erecting OH
Day street still continues to attract
some interest.
Mr.. Blair said to Il TIMES reporter
yesterday that he would make n thorough
investigation of the matter at an early
day, perhaps mex week, Tho earth
thrown out of the hole smells like oil,
and tho odor is sc strong that a person
can hardly work in it. When the earth
is burnt the odor is destroyed, proving
that the substance contained in 1t is
combustible.
