THE DESERT LAKE.
The Flood Traced to the Place Where
It Leaves the Colorado.
The party, headed by Mr. Carter, sent out
from Los Angeles, Cal., by the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company to find the source
of the Sal ton Lake, have returned. They
report from Ogilbie that the water leaves
the Colorado River at a point eight miles
from El Rio, and flows through several
channels from four to six feet deep
and from thirty to sixty feet wide. It flows
westward along the Saud Hills on the line of
the old overland stage to Ogilbie, making a
stream 100 yards wide or more, and having
a velocity of four miles an hour and gaining.
It was too deep to be sounded, but the old

“We followed the stream two miles further
in the direction of the Indian Wells. The
water is all the way from a half mile to two
miles wide, and from two to four feet deep,
having a velocity of two miles an hour. The
main channel passes Cook’s Well, then on to
Alamo Mucho. making a distance of fifty-t wo
miles from Colorado River. This is the
g oint at which it enter* the desert for
alton. The old stage route, with the ex
ception of live or six miles, is all covered
with water. The only way to reach this
point is oyer the Sand Hills. This settles
the question o* a water supply conclu
