MINERS MURDERED.
Bodies of Three Unknown Men Found
on the Desert.

SAN DIEGO, May 4.-News reached
this city late last night that three white
men had been found dead on the desert
at a place supposed to be on the Lower
Carriso Greek.
The report was brought in by Juan
Ignacio, a Cocopah Indian, who came
Up from the Cocopah Mountains along
the CarriSo, on his way to Pala.
The Indian said he discovered the
bodies last Tuesday. All were dressed
roughly, like miners, and two bodies
were lying together near mesquite
tree, with their heads caved in and their
bodies partly eaten by coyotes and vul-
lures.
Both had dark hair and boards, and
enc was unusually tall. The other body
according to the Indian, lay in a little
wash or arroyo, a few hundred feet
from the others. The hair and beard
were light or brown and the man was
of medium size His head also was
crushed in at the skull apparently by
a blow by club.
The Indian was unable to give any
further description Of the bodies, and
he did not moleSt them. He was unable
to give an accurate description of the
place where they lay, but was ready to
guide a party to the spot.
No miners are known to be missing in
this country, though there are many
prospectors now on the desert, and a
violent death may have overtaken some
little party.

A Great Mosaic.

The British Vice-ConSul at Venice in
his last report says that mosaics still
continue in great demand there. The
Venice and Murano Company executed
last year a splendid mosaic for a pail
ace now in course of construction in
Vienna. 1t measures 1000 square feet,
and is copied from cartoons by the
painter Edward Weith It represents
the five parts Of the world Europe
stands in the center of the frieze, rep
resented by the symbolic figures of it's
various nations, having on one side the
emblems of industry and trade and at
the top the emblem Of the flying genius
of light. On the right are the figures of
Asia, India, China and Japan, with
their rajahs, mandarins and the allie
gorical chrysanthemum. Next follows
Africa, with camel drivers, palm trees
and other African symbols; on the left
America and Australia, with natives on
horseback and on foot, foliage and other
emblems. All this variety Of types, from
the fair Circassian down to the negro
and the display of costumes from the
most decorative to the simplest, have
enabled the painter to arrange twenty
four hgures with great deIicacy Of
color and in an artistic manner Over
these figures, which rest on an orna-
mental base, blue sky reflects all
around its light so as to unite all the
tints of the mosaic, and to give the
whole harmony of effect which is
said to be most delightful to the eve
The same company is executing another
important mosaic for the apse of the
Guards Chapel at the Wellington Bar
racks, in London, from cartoons painted
by Messrs. Clayton and Bell.-London
