A GREAT DEPOSIT ON DESERT
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Scientific American recently pub
llshed descriptive article on the re
markable salt deposit at Salton, on the
Colorado Desert. Following is a por~
ton Of the article:
Few readers had heard of the Sea
Of salton up to 1892. At this time the
Colorado river broke its barriers and
flowed into the desert OF California,
iiooding II TO an extent of hundreds OF
square miles. In the vicinity OF Salton
was one Of the largest salt deposits In
America; the water encroached upon It,
and for time threatened the industry,
but after creating an excitement which
spreao over the entire West, II reced-
ed. The rumor was to the effect that
the new sea was so vast that II would
change the climate of southern CalIfor-
MIA.
"The deposit of salt at Salton Is one
OF the sights OF California. II lies In /,
depression almost three hundred feet
below the sea level, and was at some
time In the past the bed Of sea or ex
tension of the Gulf Of California. From
the train which passes near by, the
tract looks like a vast snow field. ana
in the early morning Is frequently the
scene Of beautiful mirage effects. The
salt deposit, which Is essentially rock
salt, covers about one thousand acres,
and Is at present the center OF interest
on account Of the dispute OF rival com
panies over the possession Of the nrop-
erty. The company has shipped from,
this place annually about two thousand
tons Of salt, valued at from SO to s3i per

ENCAMpMENT NOTES.

The reunion Of the soldiers OF the
Philippines resulted in many an enjoy
able visit OF comrades who have not
met since disbandment, and In many
a social chat IN which battle fueds
were fought over again; one Of the
pleasantest Of these was a lunch party
at the Alta club on Thursday at which
Major Richard w. Young and Dr. T. b.
Beatty were the hosts, and General
Metcalf Captain Crltchlow, Major
Fairchlld. Captain Cosgrave, Lieut.. Nc
Rae and Mr. II. @. Whitney were the
guests. General Hale had also been
expected, but was detained. While the
menu was discussed the army men in
dulged in hosl Of interesting reminis.
cences, grave, gay, stating and path

Ten lines Of type In the newspapers
told all that the public cared to know
OF a man who died in Chicago the other
day. His name was Charles II. Spring.
Several years ago he was a partner in
great manufacturing concern. and the
prospective owner of vast fortune. He
chOse ds his rule OF life, however, that
no man should be worth more than
s2jO,OOO, and when he had that amount
invested he retired and lived on the In
come until he died.
How may the true prize Of life be de-
ternllned? Here was a man who believ-
ed that II was TO be found in gathering
enough money 10 yield comfort without
extravaganza, and TO allow him to
spend his old age In ease. III did not
aspire to be a merchant prince" nor
TO I'LL the public ear with the clamor
Of his enterprise. He did not spend
feverisn years in piling up wealth. un-
Ill the very hulk OF II was a threat that

the losses given, and has emphasized

streams which are the sources OF pro-
