Water Strnek at the Depth of SOO ?
' on. the Colorado D asert.
We learn from T. B. Wilkinson, agent
ot the Southern. Pacific railroad at this
place, says the Yarns (A,'T.) Sentinel,
that success has at last crowned the ef
forts of the company to obtain artesian
water on the desert. On Tuesday last,
when the great well at Walker's station,
106 miles west of Yuma, had reached a
d;pth of BOO feet, a boun'i ul ' stream of
excellent water was struk, which in
stantly rose four feet above the surface
and ran off down the desert aa freely as
if it had always done so. Such was the
now ot water mat tne company : was
obliged at once to protect its road beci
from being washed away. Passengers
passing by yesterday and the day before
say that the stream filled a gco J-aized
irrigation ditch. The water is clear,
jold and excellent for drinking and cook
ing purposes. .. . '
Engineer W. B. Story, jr., and other
Officials of the company consider this as
one of the most promising and valuable
discoveries of the company for years, as
it settles the question as to securing
artesian water irrigation and other pur
poses on the great desert adjacent to In-
dio and Salton. . It also confirms the
opinion'of a gentleman who was in
Yuma two years ago, who had been con
nected with the artesian well system of
the English - government in India for
thirteen years, and who said: '
"I am confident that an abundant
supply of artesian water can be had at
almost any point in the Salton desert or
in tho section lying adjacent to Yuma,
and.you will not have to bore 1,000 feet
to get it." v '
The Walters well is eight feet in dia
meter, and the water rises from three to
four feet above the surface. The com
puny will not prosecute the work on its
proposed wells in other sections. : If it
proves that good water can be had. in
other sections of the dosert, it will pat

The Fossil Journal of the 10th has the
epitome of. the testimony given in. the
Cal Hale trial at Ellensburg in the bank
robbery case, and prefacing it sayB:
"Our readers are so thoroughly acquaint
ed with the Roslyn bank robbery case,
and the manner m which oar coanty
has been connected with it, that
there, is no -need of going over the
ground again. Suffice it for us to say
that Cal Hale was the first man tried,
and that he was found guilty by a jary
composed of twelve citizens" of. Kittitas
county, Washington. The prosecuting
lawyer presented a train of circumstan
tial evidence. to. the jury, and they evi
dently preferred to take that in prefer
ence to the positive testimony of Oregon
citizens, whom the jury, by their ver
dict, find guilty of grossest perjury."
' . How JowlHb Hoal la Killed.
One of the largest abattoirs of the city
of Hew York, covering an ample block,
owned and operated by men of Jewish
race .and faith, is remarkable for its
smooth and effective working and ad
mirable distribution of parts. An aver
age of 800 cattle, between three and five
years old, pasa through it in each of the
business days of the year. Arriving
from the went at the river front, they
aacend one by one to the fateful inclos
nre, where an adept employee fastens
a chain aronnd the hind leg of each.
Hoisted by machinery, the bovine falls
gently upon one shoulder, and in most
instances without a cry. Occasionally,
however, some brute, maddened by sight
and smell of blood, breaks out into the
laughter house and creates disturbance
that is speedily quelled by ita own dis
patch. Submissive companions, with
neck twisted- to expose the throat, quick
ly feel the shocbet'a long and shining
