TO THE MEXICAN LINE.
The Extent of the Sea Larger Than
Heretofore Estimated.

The Extent of the Sea Larger Than
Heretofore Estimated.
The HERALD yesterday presented a
statement taken from the San Diegan
about sea in the desert south OF ia
cumba, being an interview with W. t.
Lemon of that city. The following
about the matter shows that the sea ex-
tends about to the Mexican line, and is
taken from the San Diegan OF Tuesday
"The San Diegan's publication of an
interview with w. Z. Lemon, yesterday,
concerning the appearance of great
lake in the Colorado desert, is supported
by other information now at hand, and
which indicates that the lake already
formed is almost as large in area as Lake
Erie.
According to the San Diegan's in
formation the new body OF water was
seen from a point near Jacumba springs,
which are located Immediately east of
San Diego and close to the line dividing
the United States and Mexico. How lar
tie water extended into Mexican terri
tory could not be stated, but it is certain
that it extends to the Mexican line.
This was the local report.
"rhe outside information comes from
along the line Of the Southern Pacific
railway, and it is stated that the lake
has made its appearance at Salton,
point fully seventy miles distant from
the locality where the lake was seen on
this side of the desert. OF course no
reports have been obtained from the
middle OF this territory, and it therefore
cannot be known to certainty that the
body OF water is contiguous over the en-
tire area, or whether it merely follows
the low depressions, but as the desert is
generally fiat the fair presumption is
paegams ha1rmaht b Reported e5 shat 5ne en- IN
the water was visibly increasing in area
in that direction"
Los Angeles herald., 1891-07-02

for the most of the time for ten years
past, says he never experienced any
thing so fierce and blistering, and the
statement is verified by many others.
To close car up it became sitting
and unbearable; while to breathe the
super-heated air was distressing to the
lungs. The eyes became painfully dry
and the face and neck burned as though
exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
No one on the train seemed able to
comprehend this strange experience, but
gazed out on the watery waste and pro-
nounced it wondrous and magnificent
mirage, where the rays OF the sun glist-
ened and flashed with terrible effect,
while the hundred fold heated air shim-
mered and waved over the surface as
though supplied from the mouth of a
vast furnace. 1t was an actual relief to
get to Seven Palms, where a miniature
sand storm is perpetually blowing. 1t
was an experience unpleasant in every
way, and repetition is not desired.

AN EYEWITNESS STORY.
How the Salt Marsh Was Turned Into
a Lake.

j. H. Gilmour, who has been staying
in Salton for several months, returned
on Monday, to San Francisco. He was
at the salt works when the mysterious
lake came into existence. Speaking Of
it to Chronicle reporter he said
cit is we'll known that Salton is the
lowest point in the Colorado desert.
The formation of the country round
about is saucer-like. There are hills to
the north and the south, and the great
salt marsh is the bottom of the saucer
where the cup rests, while the hills are
the rising borders. It is a desolate
place, but not without beauty of its
own-a desert, as BalZac describes it,
God without man. The salt works are
owned by San Francisco parties, and
George w. Durbrow, who is an owner,
is also the manager, and lives there in a
little cottage opposite the station.
son the evening of last Monday was
ont at the end OF the track built for the
purpose OF hauling in the collected salt
which is scraped from the surface. 1t
is wrong to say the place is arid, for if
it were how on earth could salt be
made? The place is always moist,
and one has to be careful when
walking on the marsh if he does not wish
to get into mud and water knee deep. At
3 pm. last Monday left the marsh and
there was no indication of water. The
next day as l was on the velocipede run
ming down the track saw the men COM
ing home on the hand-car, and asked,
What is the matter?' Joe, an Indian,
80, e
the marsh and it is fast rising did not
believe it, but went out and found that
the entire country was lake, great
lake, with the water coming in from the
southeast in large body and every ap-
pearance that it was on the Incl ease
Mr.. Durbrow went out on the
marsh, and finding that it was
twenty-five per cent. salt was assured
that the water had travelled an enor-
nous distance. By evening, when 1
went out again, the water was coming
rapidly millward and had increased to
six or seven inches. When l left Tues
day afternoon the water was some thir.
teen inches in depth and within few
yards of the mill. Mr.. Durbrow, seeing
that there was danger to property, could
not leave as was his intention.
"The singular and most annoying thing
to him is the fear and superstition of the
Indians who are employed by him. On
the first appearance of the water an old
and intelligent Indian marshaled his
family and marched away from Salton.
All he would say was too much aqua
and shake his head. His example was
followed by several. One Indian, who
has his mother-in-law iiving with him,
says that her mother described similar
food years ago and that the valley was
all under water. 1t is estimated that
this body of water is eight miles wide by
thirty miles long.

A PECULIAR ATMOSPHERE.
The Experience of Travellers Passing
Salton on Sunday.

Salton on Sunday.
One peculiar feature of the conditions
which prevailed on the Colorado desert
when the water was coming into the
sink near Salton, on Sunday, was the
intensity of the hot wind which came
up fromthe south during the most OF
the day. The thermometer in the shade,
under the best circumstances possible,
indicated la degrees, which is not very
remarkable, considering the locality,
but it is seldom the heat is supple
mented by 50 intense and blistering
wind as prevailed on that day coming
directly with and over the water, the
prevailing winds being westerly. The
wind generally during the summer sea-
son is uncomfortably warm and disagree
able, and fills every possible space with
sand and an impalpable dust. The wind of
Sunday bore no dust, or scarcely any,
but was very strong and steady, and
overheated to sitting degree. A gem
tleman whose occupation has required
him to cross the desert every few days
