OUR NEW ICE PLANT.

The new ice establishment on Main street should. be encouraged by the public for several reasons. In the first place it inaugurates competition which enables past consumers to have cheaper ice. It has fixed rate for it's product that will allow families to have this most necessary summer lux ury, without too great strain up- on the domestic purse. When there was no competition, the. rate was so great that the consumption of ice was confined to the saloons almost exclusively. Even the sick, as a rule, were deprived of the de- sired cooling drinks and apprecia- tionsj owing to the excessive price asked for ice.
 There is another fact that should be taken into consideration. In the manufacture of ice here it is necessary to employ number of persons about the premises, and in cutting the requisite wood to run the machinery. The money paid to these persons will be distributed in the town. and benefit number.
 For all these reasons consumers of ice should .patronize the new venture, and thus insure it's per nancy.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is impure. and without doubt there has been too much over-work or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such a condition is plain and simple. The blood must first be puri- fled so that the nervous system, and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people with out number, have testified that the best blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength imparting medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep and. general debility all vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is consistently taken; in word. health and happiness follow after taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

ROAD TO YUMA
carIson Still Working OF That Line--
 Why He Went to San Francisco.

Mayor Carlson expressed him self as very pleased when a representative of the Sun called upon him to learn the latest regarding the prospects of his pro- posed railroad from San Diego to an eastern connection at or near Yuma. "My last visit to San Fran cisco" said the Mayor, twas solely in the interests of that road, and to obtain, if possible, permission from my associates to, make known to the committee appointed to confer with me such information as they deemed necessary before undertak- ing to raise guarantee fund of $48O,000. In my opinion the rals- ing of this subsidy should not be delayed pending this information. I would never have made the pro position to the citizens of San Diego if were not positive that when the guarantee fund is raised the road will be built, but in deference to the expressed wish of the com mittee, have asked that the source from which the money would come to build the road be made known to the gentlemen comprising that committee. So far my request has not been granted. The information sought for is more serious than the average person might imagine, for the reason that the success of mak- ing railroad enterprises depends upon the utmost secrecy being kept as to the real parties interested, and so it may be with the one now under consideration. San Diego needs another railroad above all other things, and seeing that our company does not ask for cash, but | is quite willing to take the subsidy in notes secured by real estate, and only payable after the road has been in operation year, with the great possibility then that 1t may not be needed, it seems as though there is everything to gain and nothing to lose.
 "In addition to the railroad, 1 am also at work On securing a steam ship line between this port and Jl- pan, and after my five months labor I feel certain that with the building of the railroad assured the steamship line will follow. The possibilities of freight from this section are very promising and will be materially increased every year, but we need commerce and if our company is encouraged in railroad building we will take care of the steamship line ourselves. We are waiting anxlously to do everything possible for San Diego, and prompt action is only deferred until the guaranteee fund is raised. ."-Sa'' DieQO Sun.

DEAD ON THE DESERT.
Three Men Supposed to Hav6 Been
 Murdered.

News reached here last Monday that three white men had been found dead on the desert at place supposed to be in the lower Carriso creek. The report was brought in by Cocopah Indian, who came up from She Coco pah mountains along the Carrlso. The Indian said he discovered the bodies last Tuesday. All were dressed roughly like miners, and two bodies were lying together, near a mesquite tree, with their heads caved in their bodies partly eaten by coyotes and vultures. Both had dark hair and boards and one was unusually tall' The other body, according to the In dian, lay in 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 hesd was also crushed ln at the skull, apparently by blow from 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.
 Juan Ignacio, another Cocopah In dian, started for San Diego to inform the authorities in that city of his gruesome find and guide party to the spot.
 A party of three miners left here last week on prospecting trip in the Cocopah mountains and it is the gen. eral opinion that a violent death may have overtaken them. We have been unable to learn their names,

THE PICNIC.
Fully 300 People Take in the Philhar-
 mOnic Silver Bands Excursion.

The long waited and looked for picnic of the Philharmonic Silver band took place last Sunday.
 4 more beautiful day would be inn possible to lind and fully 3UO men, women and children availed them selves of the opportunity to enjoy 8 days ride on the steamer.
 Shortly after o'clock the Mohave with Captain Mellon at the wheel and H. s. Muzzy as Chief Engineer, cast off her moorings and majestically swung into the current of the Colo rado and the excursion to Castle Dome was begun.
 The steamer had been prettily dec orated for the occasion with bunting oleanders and flags of all imaginable sizes.
 In few hours the Potholes were passed and after few miles more had been traversed the steamer turned and came back to Potholes. Nearly everybody left the boat and took 8 look at the placering machinery Of Gen. Weisshuhn. A number of gen. tlemen who are well posted on placer mining thought the new process of the Generals would be success. It is to be hoped it will for the General has spent large sum of money in buying machinery and getting it in working order.
 The whistle and gong sounded and everybody hurried on board and the journey to Castle Dome was resumed. A few miles only had been travelled when the three-inch iron guide rod of the rudder became loose and caught in the large stern wheel. The rod was broken and the wheel badly damaged and in order to make repairs the boat tied up to the bank for several hours. The wheel and rudder having been rep&ired the homeward journey was commenced. The Mohave dis charged her precious cargo just as the sun was casting its setting rays on the Ft. Yuma Hill.
 The young people danced all day on the upper deck of the steamer and enjoyed themselves as only young people can when good music is rem dered.
 The committee on arrangements, consisting of Messrs. Heyl, Alexander, Rise, Hodges and Tapia, proved themselves excellent managers, and to their tirelsss efforts were our peo- pie given an opportunity to enjoy a days ride on the Mohave.
 Capt. Mellon and Engineer Muzzy are entitled to the thanks of every body on board for their care and watchfulness of the large crowd.
