THE FROG TANKS CASE.
Popular Science of New York Wants
 to Know More About It.

About a month ago there was pub lished in The Republican an account of phenomenon in the neighborhood of Frog Tanks. The phenomenon in volved a sinking of the earth, a gen. eration of sulphurous gas tipp3d with blue flames and a shower of fish and sea turtles. The dispatch from Frog Tanks also contained a theory that that region was somehow connected with the Salton sea- The telegraph editor, who knows something of the geography of the southwest, knows that the Colorado river cuts a wide and deep swath between the Frog Tanks district and the Salton sea country, severing all possible connec- tions above described. The rain of fish and sea turtles also struck him as unusual. The sulphurous explosion, however, cut no figure, for that is not an unexpected phenomenon at Frog Tanks. But whatever doubt the tel egraph editor might have entertained regarding the uprising at Frog Tanks was dispersed when the last page of the dispatch disclosed the name of Joseph Mulhatton as the authority for the story of the disturbance
 The incident was so unusual that it was telegraphed throughout the country by the Associated Press cor respondent and special correspondents of other papers. The narration seems to have taken root in Kansas, for the Popular Science" journal pub lished at 108 Fulton street, New York writes to a Phoenix man as follows:
 we notice in Kansas paper tel, egraphic report from Frog Tanks, which Is said to be about fifty miles north of Phoenix, giving account of remarkable and violent upheaval of the earth which recently occurred in that vicinity near mining camp, and the report says that the earth had sunk for several hundred feet around us and the air was filled with suphur- ous gas which burned with blue flames. There was a roar of nat. ural gas, followed by a flood of pc troleum; some water was thrown up with the oil, also eyeless fish and sea turtles.
 eff you have heard anything in re- gard to this matter and can give us some information on the subject it will be much appreciated Thanking you in advance for your kind atten- tion, remain"
 It may be said for the edifi ation of the Popular Science" that notbing g more has been heard of the phenom- enon than has been hereinbefore set forth. Several people nave come to town from Frog Tanks, but if such a thing happened there as MT. Mulhat- ton has described, they forgot to men tion it.
