LOCAL NEWS.
LINE CREEK BRIDGE,

Through the etferts and labors
of Mr. J B Kelsey and other gen
tleman and the city authorities we
are able to tell our readers of a
bridge now completed over Line
Greek on 9th street, and
also that it is a substantial struc-
ture, and perhaps one of the
best bridges in the Chickasaw
Nation. 1t is 105 feet long, Is
feet wide and % feet above the
water, with 7x16 stringers, lex
16 posts and sills, the whole
bridge resting on solid piling we'll
sink in the bed and fastened with
lag bolts. The bridge is covered
with good planking and provided
with a good substantial hand and
guard rail. The approaches are
well filed in, making the bridge
complete and perfect and ready
for business, and is one Of the
best and most convenient and
solid improvements made in the
city in the year. The conception
and completion Of this bridge is
due largely to the efforts Of Mr.
j B Kelsey, through whose labor
the council was induced to en-
courage the effort. The means
and ways were partly raised by
private subscription, and the do
nations have been liberal and will
ing. This bridge is there as a
slayer, and will prove a great help
to our farmer friends from the
north, and will bo a connecting
link between the north and south
parts Of the city.

a Black Lake.

The most unusual curiosity in this
strange, ancanny land by the Colorado
river is what the naturalsts in Califor-
MIA call a lake of ink. The scientific
journals in Los Angeles and San Diego
have discussed time and time again
what the lake of ink really is. 1t is a
great pool of black fluid that resembles
writing ink more than anything else 1t
is about an acre in area. The surface
Of the lake is coated with ashes from
the volcanoes to the thickness of about
half a foot, and the explorer in these
parts who is not looking out for this
freak of nature would be very apt to
walk into it. Surveyors have found that
the lake is some 800 yards deep in some
places-but no bottom can be found in
others. There is nothing but theory as
TO the source of the supply of the lake.
but no one seems to know the compo-
nent parts of the acre of black fluid.
The Indians say it is composed of the
blood of bad Indians who are suffering
in their hell amid the volcanoes. Sam
pies of the lake have been brought TO
Yuma and Los Angeles for tests and ex-
animation. 1t is good for common mark
ing purposes. Cotton goods that have
been soaked with the strange black fluid
Keep their color for months, even when
exposed to the sun, and the goods have
stiffness that is somewhat like weak
starch. A gallon of the lake fluid was
sent to the Smithsonian institution the
other day for analysis indianapolis
