4 dispatch from Las Vegas. California.
SAYS Thirty dead bodies Of men who
have persisted on the Nevada Desert from
Thirst ard hunger have been found By a
party Of surveyors who are in advance Of
the new San Pedro, LIS Angeles and Sal,
Lake Railroad. The victims met death
within few weeks according to all the
evidences obtainable aud the condition Of
the remains when discovered
They persisted in attempting TO er,ss the
waste area that stretched distance II 80
miles from Las Vegas to the California
line. Many have died in trying tn make
this journey without adequate provision Of
food and water, but apparently the desert
has claimed many mere lives during the
past month than ever before.
Word has just been brought in from an
advance party Of the surveyors which tells
Of many gruesome finds, including the ne
mains Of four or bali dozen men lying in
proximity. In most instances, the bodies
have been partly eaten by coyotes and
knzzards TO such an extent as TO be beyond
recognition.
A majority Of the victims were tramps
and railroad laborers, who had attempted
to cross from the railroad camps in Nevada
to the more agreeable climate OF California.

country confidently predicted great re-

the spread of the Gospel, but the work so
nobly begun seems to have ceased, 50 lar
as reports in the public prints indicate, aud
the prize ring has just started on career
of prosperity. Seven fights were adver-

land for some years, but a cable dispatch
says boxing is on the ''bOom there now.
