The Worlds Largest Ink Pot.


The most unusual curiosity in this
strange, uncanny land by the Colorado
river is what the n~atura1ists in Cali
fornia call a lake of ink. The scientific
journals of Los Angeles and San Diego
have discussed time and time again
what the lake of ink really is. It is a
great pool Of a black fluid that resem-
bles black writing ink more than any
thing else. 1t is about an acre in area
The surface of the lake is coated with
ashes from the volcanoes to the thick
ness of about half a foot, and the eX-
plorer in these parts who is not locking
out for this freak Of nature would be
very apt to walk into it.
Surveyors have found that the lake is
some 300 yards deep in ONE places,
but no bottom a 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 component
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. Samples
of the fluid have been brought to Yuma
and Los Angeles for tests and eXami-
nation. 1t is good for onmon mark
ing purposes. Cotton goods that have
been soaked with the strange black
fluid keep their color for months, ever
when exposed to the sun, and b goods
have a stiffness that is somewhat like
weak starch. A gallon Of the lake fluid
was sem to the Smithsonian institution
the other day for analysis.-Indian-
aDoliS News.

He Earned His Fare.

Many have heard the story Of the two
Norwegian brothers. One of them was
on the boat when she started out. She
was thirty feet from the dock when
the other brother came rushing down
just a few seconds toe late. The one
aboard leaned over the railing and
shouted: "Yump, Ollie, yump! You a
make it in two yumpsr!'
This local instance is alike with a
difference: One Michael McNolan, a
contractor in the pick depart
ment, was giving his folks an outing
during the general celebration and
chose the Tashmo as the means of
transportation. On the way to the boat
Michael dropped in every little while
to light his pipe.
The family were all comfortable on
the upper deck and watching for the
liege lord and paymaster when the ma
chinery began to work and the boa to
move. It was five feet away when the
belated passenger. appeared. his face
red and his pipe working like a smoke
stack. He stood on the edge of the
dock, steadying himself and swinging
his arms to give impetus to a jump
when the goodwife issued an order.
"Git back, Moike, git back, and make
a good run for the jump Yez can nev
err make it standin'."
Mike obeyed. By the time he made
his run the boat was twenty feet off,
but he made a gallant effort, went out
Of sight in his best store clothes for a
bathing suit and came up splitting gu
water and other things for which 8
later explanation would be. required
He scorned life preservers showere6
upon him, dove down and brought III
his pipe, swan to the side of the boat
and when safely aboard demanded
| reduction in fare.-Detroit Free Press.

Derth of II. j. Bargman.

Died, at Los Angeles, Cal, March
2Sth, H. j. Bargman, of this place.
He was born in San Joaquin county,
California, in 1860 and was there
fore in the forty second year OF his
life. He came to Arizona in 1878,
and followed the occupation of
-'cowboy;" he was deputy sheriff of
Apache county under W. R. Camp
bell for two years, and for the past
four years was under sheriff of
Navajo county under Sheriff Wat
tron. He was the candidate of the
republican party last fall for the
office of sheriff. Upon the election
of his opponent, F. P. Secrist, he
accepted position as guard at the
Yuma penitentiary.
He had been a sufferer from
rheumatism for some time, having
made tripto Jemez Hot Springs
last summer in the hope of benefit,
bGt was not much improved by his
stay. 1t was hoped the warmer
climate of Yuma would be beneficial
but his health gradually failed and
ne was taken to the Pacific hospital
in Los Angeles last month. The
immediate cause of his death was
uropsy.
He was buried at Los Angeles,
under the auspices of the B. P. o.
Elks lodge, of which he was an
esteemed member.
Joe was SO we'll known all over
Arizona that it seems there is little
left to be said which is not already
known. A man who knew not the
name of fear, a staunch friend, a
brave off GER and an UPRIGHT honest
man.
He leaves wife and three child
rem, together with many friends to
mourn his loss.

Tom Tate has created a sensation
which has stirred up the people OF
Bisbee. He has located mining
claim in the heart of the big mining
camp and is making an effort to
hold it, The claim was staked off
by Tate and he at once set about to
do his assessment work. Near the
Norton hotel he set a mau to work
blasting out ten foot shaft, and
the proprietor of the hotel and
Tate arrested for trespassing.
Since there is no municipal organ
ization in Bisbee, and no plats of
town site locations have been filed,
people are. considerably disturbed
lest Tate win his suit, which he has
appealed to the dist rict court OF
Cochise county. The land which
is occupied by the owners of build
ings is held simply on sqotter rights,
and the land belongs to the govern
ment. A large portion of the city,
however, is built upon claims
owned by the Copper Queen mining
company, which operates the big
copper mines of the camp. The
outcome of the suit will be watched
with Interest by mining men in
