VEgzssa Reading Room.

Mrs Taggart and Ars. Gillespie have donated to the Yuma Public Reading Rooms two of the most valu- able contributions yet made to the new ly opened reading rooms. The former lady gave complete set of Bancroft's s History of the Pacific Coast; the lat ter full edition of Chambers En- cyclopaedia. Our citizens, both young and old, are just commencing to see the grand benefits to be derived from this new acquisition to Yuma and It is very seldom now that the rooms can be found without some person deeply engaged in the perusal of some one of the many books of knowledge, which the reading room is now in possession of.

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves sea sickness. When the waves play pitch and toss with you, strong indeed must be the stomach that can stand it without revolting. Tourists, commercial travellers, yachts men, mariners. all testify that Hostel ter's Stomach Bitters is the best rem edy for the nausea experienced in rough weather in the water. Nervous and weakly travellers by land often suffer from something akin to this, and find in the Bitters it's surest rem edy. No disorder of the Stomach, liver or bowels is so obstinate that 1t may not be overcome by the prompt and thorough remedy. Equally eff fcacious is it for chills and fever, kidney and rheumatic trouble and nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier should provide themselves with this fine medicinal safeguard against the effects of vicissitudes of hardship, exposure and fatigue.

Three weeks ago Billy Marvin, Guy Toombs and an Indian left here on trip to the Chuckawalla mining district, about 100 miles in a nOrtheasterly direction from here. They followed the Colorado river up some 70 miles, when a trail was taken which lead them directly across 30 miles of desert and waterless section. Previous to leaving the river they took seven gallons of water and had they so wished 30 gallons could have been carried just as we'll. After travers- ing some 9 miles the trail became obliterated and after a fruitless search of several hours it was decided by Toombs and Indian to return to the river. Marvin was still of the opinion that he could find the we'll of water that was known to exist near by. It was decided that Toombs and the In dian with the burros would camp where they were and Marvin start ed out in search of the we'll. Sev- eral hours passed and he did not return and thirst was becoming uncomfortable. Finally the burros were unpacked and all their pro- visions, with two guns were piled in heap and the trail back taken up. In travelling the last 200 yards Toombs fell to the ground a number of times completely ex- hausted, but each time he strug- gled to his feet and renewed his journey to the river which he could now see. The river was finally reached and after taking small swallows frequently of the life giv- ing fluid and bathing in the stream he laid down and was soon asleep. It seemed to him only a few min utes, yet four or five hours had passed, he was awakened by hear ing groans. He got up and followed in the direction from whence the sound came about 100 yards, when he found Marvin unconscious. He gave him water in small quanti- ties and he soon recovered con- sciousness. They gave some Mex jeans everything they possessed for use of a boat to bring them to Yuma. Marvin was without water for about 36 hours and had it not been for his friend he would have died in sight of water. The won der is that they did not all perish. The many poor unfortunate miners who have left their bones to bleach on the scorching desert sands and the many articles that have been written chronicling the many deaths from thirst seem to go for naught, when three men with burros will start to travel a dist tance of 30 miles with only seven pa11OnS Of watar

| The Gila Bend Leader of yesterday says About 3 o'clock this afternoon, just as W, had printed the last copy of our edition the word came that water had been reach ed and was flowing into the big well. A depth of about 800 feet the borers pierced the clay bank and entered regular water carrying gravel, in short time the water commenced flowing in so rapidly that al work had to stop. Inside of an houl there was 300 feet of water in the we'll, and at this time it bids fair to flood things before we get this second edition printed. The water is cool and sweet. This we'll is one of the first real blessings coming to 1 Gila Bend, and it is not to be wondered at that our people are somewhat hilarious over it. Mir. Gordon and his crew are the heroes of the hour.

An Exploration 'SrIg.

Engineer c. R. Rockwood after 8 visit here of two days returned Sunday to Los Angeles. Mir. Rock woods visit here was made with the expectations of meeting Gull lermo B. y Puga, Chief Astrono- mer of Mexico, with observatory and headquarters at Taeubaya, near the City of Mexico, but un- known to MT. Redwood that gentleman had went through here several days before to the mid-winter fair. Senor Puga is expected to arrive here shortly after the first of next month, when he and the following representatives of the United States and Mexican governments will make a trip of exploration to the mouth of the Colorado river. Col. Barlow, Chief of the U. s. Bound ary Commission; Col. Blanco, Chief of the Mexican Boundary Commission and Civil Engineer c. R. Redwood.
 The object of these gentlemen in going down the Colorado river is to make a thorough and exhaus- tive examination and report to their respective governments the feasibility of dregging the river to it's mouth so that deep water ves- sels can come to Yuma. It will be remembered that several months ago Gov. Hughes brought this matter to the attention of Mexico's Minister and the outcome is that the above gentlemen have been ap- pointed to investigate it.

,dorean O'Brien, ct the supposed ii fa.cd k. E. L Ro6iuson expedition arrived here yesterday from Guaymas. He said that the Mexican Govern ment had dispatched 200 cavalry and 50 infantry soldiers to the scene of the massarce on Tiburon Island. Mir. O'Brien feels positive that James Logan and Robinson were killed on the morning of May 26th by the In dians. He and Geo. (Clark) Flavell rowed their boat out from shore a safe distance as soon as they became con vinced that something was wrong with the Indians. All day was spent by them watching the shore in hopes of hearing or seeing something of their friends, but nothing was seen or heard of them after Logan called to FlaveIl for help. It is MT. O'Brien's opinion that Robinson was instantly killed when the first volley was fired,
 The Mexican troops left last We'd nesday for the Island and we are in- formed that if the Indians have com mitted this cruel and heartless murder they will receive no quarter from the soldiers. On the other hand if Robinson and Logan are found living they will probably be severely dealt with by the Mexican authorities. MT. Flavell accompanied the soldiers.
