THE DESERT NO MORE.
THE SOUTHERN PtCIFIC'S ARTE-
SIAN WELL AT WALTERS.
Flowing Well Which Threatened tc
Wash Away the RaiIroad-The
Water Rises Four Feet from
an Eight-Tnch Pipe.

We learn from Mr.. 7. 3. Wilkinson,
agent of the Southern Pacific railroad at
this place, says the Yuma Sentinel, that
success has at last crowned the efforts
of the company to obtain artesian water
OH the desert. On Tuesday last, when
the great we'll at Walkers station, 106
miles west Of Yuma, had reached a
depth Of 500 feet, bountiful stream of
excellent water was struck, which in
stantly rose feet above the surface and
ran off down the desert as freely as if
it had always done so. Such was the
flow OF water that the company was
obliged at once to protect its roadbed
from being washed away. Passengers
passing by yesterday and the day before
say that the stream filled good sized
irrigating ditch. The water is clear,
cold and excellent for drinking and
cooking purposes.
Engineer ". B. Story, jr.. and other
officials of the company consider this as
one OF the most promising and valuable
discoveries OF the company for years, as
it settles the question as to securing
artesian water for irrigation and other
purposes on the great desert adjacent to
Indio and Salton. 1t also confirms the
opinion of gentleman who was in
Yuma two years ago, who had been con-
nected with the artesian we'll system of
the English government in India for 13
years, and who said: 81 am confident
that an abundant supply of artesian
water can be had at almost any point in
the Salton desert, or in the section lying
adjacent to Yuma, and you will not have
to bore 1000 feet to get it,"
The Walters we'll is eight inches in
diameter and the water rises fro three
to four ieet above the surface. The com.
pany will now prosecute the work on
its proposed wells in other sections. If
it proves that good water can be had in
other sections of the desert, it will-put
the ditch and canal builders ON their
metal to compete with this supplv of
water for irrigation purposes. .

EDITORS HERALD: Permit me to use
your columns to refute the malicious at
tack upon my character in yesterdays

davit and letter in proof of my asser-

Otis, and I was assured by him later
that it was all right, and that I would
receive "fair play" How much
promise from the Times ia worth can be
seen in yesterdays issue.
At the time, two years ago, when

A PERTINENT INQUIRY.
Why Has the State Department Diso-
beyed the instructions of Congress?

Why Has the State Department Diso-
beyed the instructions of Congress?
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-An interesting
document, on the subject of war vessels
on the lakes, will be sent to the senate
by the state department during the
week. The information was asked for
by q resolution passed in the early part
OF the last session, and considerable sur
prise was expressed that reply was not
received before congress adjourned. The
object OF the resolution was to make the
state department show cause why the
act passed in 1866, requiring notice to be
given to Great Britain Of the desire of
the United States to abrogate the treaty
regarding the number of vessels to be
kept on the lakes, had not been carried
out. The reply of the department will
be basis for congressional legislation
looking to the modification of the treaty
which will admit of construction OF war
vessels by firms operating ON the lakes.
The state department will be accused of
eveding the joint resolution calling for
the abrogation of the treaty. There are
some people who think the treaty has
been abrogated. There is no doubt that
such resolution was passed and it is
on record. Notice was given Great
Britain, in accordance Herewith, of the
intention OF this government to abro-
gate the treaty. What followed is a
mystery outside OF the diplomatic world.
1t is understood the statement will
show that the notice Issued under the
act was Withdrawn within few days
after being issued, and that, for reasons
then existing, both countries agreed to
consider the treaty Rtill in force. 1t
will be further shown that tho treaty is
so regarded to the present day by both
governments, Notwithstanding the act

Madame Anderson's glass blowers
and electrical exhibition company ar
rived here yesterday from Uniontown.
and are making preparations for their
opening at Belvedere Hall tomorrow
night. The Altoona Tribune says. The
exhibitions which have for the past
week been given in the Woodcock
Block by Madame Anderson and glass
blowers are in many respects marvel
t There are five stands at which
las blowers work, and movements
~ blowers are closely watched.
AGame Anderson is especially skill
ful in the manipulation Of the glass
and the specimens Of her handwork
souvenirs are beautiful. When Tn
bane reporter stopped at the exhibition
yesterday the lady was spinning glass
into strands as fine as fleece. They
are made of woven glass and are as
pliable as any dress goods. 1t is the
only known one Of the kind in the
United States. The Electric Meter is
also a curiosity.
The electrical exhibition given by
Prof. Anderson is well worth seeing.
There is the perfect model Of the Cor
less engine, complete in all its parts
and made Of glass. The first glass
engine made over thirty-fve years ago
now occupies a place in the Cooper In
stitute, New York, and this one now
on exhibition here is vast improve
ment over it. The Electric Engine
which is by the Corless is also a great
attraction and as for the Brass Band
it is certainly immense. Would that
all bands played as well. The entire
exhibition is well worth going to see.
