The Colorado Desert.

The supervisors Of San BernadinO
county, Cal, after consulting with
mining men and civil engineers. have
decided to designate on asuitable map
the roads, trails, water supplies and
prominent land marks Of the Colorado
desert. Heretofore many lives have
been lost, and the object in view is to
make it possible for prospect0rs to
traverse that arid region with com
parative safety. In addition to this
sign boards are to be erected at water
supplies and also along the trails and
roads, giving any information that
may be needed, especially as regards
the nearest water courses, There is
also talk Of developing water where
none is found, and Of cleaning and
protecting springs from pollution by
wild animals and careless p~rospectOrs.
During the last thirty years fully
500, 600, 900 worth Of ore has been taken
from the desert mines in this county,
and there is every indication hal the
output in the future will be even
greater than in the past. II this is 50
the trade Of the desert will form con-
siderable market for the products Of
the valleys, and the supervisors are
anxious to help the mineral develop
ment in every way.

TWO ORIGINS.

The Colusa Sun says the read Of
the silver craze is located on the At
lantic seab0ard, the body is in the
Mississippi valley. and the tail is on
this coast. According to the Sun the
tail has been mashed, the body is
nearly dead and the tail is weighing
at a lively speed-'just like the tail Of
a snake always wiggles when the head
is mashed" Now, let the Sun tell rs
something about the gold craze. Let
it continue its charming metaphor
and tell us where the head, body and
tail Of the gold craze are. And, by
the way, will it not also inform a cur
iOus world what part of the anatomy
Of the craze the Sun constitutes

Supreme Courr Is also LARGELY respon-

done. Time and again the people
have seen some cold-blOoded murderer

although his guilt was conclusive,

The recently organized Carroll CLUB
held its first meeting last night in the
building recently purchased as home
for the organization-the Paxton prop
erty, corner Chapline and Thirteenth
streets. There was an excellent at
tendance of stockholders, and a great
amount OF enthusiasm was manifested
throughout the meeting. Several stock
holders increased their subscriptions to
the stock of the club, from one share to
five. and others promised TO solicit
other subscriptions within the next Few
days. One stakeholder agreed 10 be
one of ten persons to subscribe Sl'OOO
each, provided the number can be Sc
cured within two weeks. The directors
have the names of two others ana anu
cipate no difficulty in securing the re-
quisite number within that time.
Plans were submitted for the propos-
ed changes in the building. The COM
mittee visited several clubs in Pitts
burg. and all the clubs in this vicinity,
for the purpose of embodying the best
features of those institutions in the
equipment of the new club house. Inc
plans were prepared in the rough, and
have not vet been formally adopted.
They contemplate the erection OF d
building in the rear of the present
structure as soon as possible. The
rear of the house will be torn away
and one story building will be put up.
1t will contain bowling alleys, gymna-
stun. shooting gallery, baths, etc. 1t
is also likely that a large hall will be
erected to be used for entertainments,
the larger receptions of the club, ana
church festivals.
The first floor of the present building
will be entirely remodeled. The wide
hall extending through the centre Will
be allowed to remain. On the north
side a ladies reception room will be fur
nished. On the south side the gen
tlemen's quarters will be located. The
parlor and reading room will front on
Chapline street, and in the rear Will be
the cafe.
On the second floor will be the bill
ard and pool rooms, and the gallery Of
the gymnasium. The secretary's office
will be located over the hallway in the
second story.
The stockholders Will hold another
meeting next week, by which time ii is
expected that all the money necessary
for carrying out the plans of the pro-
jectors will have been subscribed.
