EVIDENCE OF SUBTERRANEAN SEA 1 hat Artesian Water on the Des ert Can be Pound l. the lie lief of (IcoIojcIaU. During tho past two mouth n mem ber of the U. H.Uenloiical Survey baa Ixium at work in Lake County, uiap plug tho relief of the county, study ing it geological structure, arid tho resource of tho region. The Silver Lake, Christmas La lot nud North Alkull valleys have hIho been atudiod iu aome detail to determine in thm tholudlcatlou of artosiau witter. Since Prof. (). C. Ktissoll'a geureal treat merit of this region Home yearn ago, llttlo him been published concerning IIh geology and natural feature. Those have Imhu visited and studied and will toon Ih described in a Bul letin of the Survey Summer Luke, tho Chewaucau Marsh mid liiiko Abort fdVmerly constituted n great lake whose level wan at leant IM foot abovo the present nurfare of Hummer Lake. Alkull luk wan prob ably never connected with Lake Abort but extended over North Alkull valley Mild Mouth and went of tho on-sent hike bed, niaklug a body of water UT0 to feet deep. Although no well do fined terraces or notchoa are cut in the hills arond .Silver Iake to show the an clout high water mark do doubt a Kreat shallow laka ouco occupied tho Silver Lake valloya, and extended northward beyond Fort Rock. Fort Rock ia not a crater, uh tiinuy suppose from it shape, but a grout block that has been displaced by movements of the earths cniHt and left aa a remnant of the sheet of tuff, or volcanic cinder and mud that once flowed over the country. Other sim ilar block ure to be seen near the recent volonnle cones northwest of Christum Luke, mid ou l'ine Ridge eiiMt of Fossil lake. 'I'll in ia the ma terial that Ih largely lined around Silver Iako u "chimney rock," since it M euilly hewn into blocks and re sists fire well. The recent lava bed covering the north-central end of the county in well worth a visit by anyone interest ed in Hiich thing. For here are fun nel Hhnped cratera consisting of frug meuta of lavu, and slug as from a blacksmiths' forgo. The aurfuce of the lava sheet surrounding these coned resemble the surface of 11 river when the ice ia breaking up i" the Spring, it being broken into slahs mid blocka standing at angles. Caves mid crcvicca me often found in this lava sheet, sometimes containing ice in midsummer. Ono crack near the mint hern edge of the flow is over a mile long, and in places 1" feet wide and 10 feet deep. Fossil Lake has been noted uh a collecting ground for the remaina of the elephant, camel and three-toed borne siuoo lST.'i, when it was brought to the notice of Professor Cope of tho Smithsonian Institution, by "Uncle Goorgo" Duncan. Pino Kidgo, tlie only plueo on tho desert where these trees aro to bo found, is another pocirtur feature. Scattered among the pines aro standing many dead junipers These linvo probably been killed by the drifting sands of Fossil Lake, which lire siosvly moving eastward and en croaching on tho high desert. These reat Hiiud diuicH are of theiuKulvia it feature worthy of mention. It was during Tertiary time that tho roiit lavu hheeta of Northern California, Oregon and WuHhington uprcad over tho county. Thia period lasted a lout,' time, and many succes sive flows took place. Some consisted of inoullen rock, forming tho harder lava beds, others were like mud flowa find .formed tho softer layers of tuir, SIuco these flows, the surface lata been folded und broken, and Keat blocks dropped and tilted id various angles. lYrhapa the most striking cxa'mplo of this is at Lake Abort, with tho imposing clill' on its eastern lunsido and tho dropped block blopiutf from the Chewaucau Marah to tho wealern ahore of the lake. Thia broken nature of the conn try haa eoded problematical the chance of obtalnluK artealan water in the val leyn. I'oroiia tuff leda that would act an water bearing titratn no doubt are prone lit, but to what extent they have been alfected by the folding and faulting tin taken place, cannot yet be stated. However, various warm apringa, aa mound aprlng, and the big aprliiKH at the head of Ana Itlvor aud Johuaon Creek, ahow that deep watera under preasure do occur. Tho lake deposit seem deep In all these valley and It may bo that arte sian flow will be obtained by sinking in them, aa haa ixen douo iu Colorado desert, and tho San Hemardlno valley of Southern California. Dalles RegUter Retlgnet. A Washington spoclul to the Orego li in ii aaya: Tho resignation of Michael T. Nolan, rigiftir fi r 'li e Dalit h Land OHIi'c, Inn been act'epted to take olb-ct upon the appointment and con tinuation of hia HiirroHaor, wiio will probably bo named soon after Congress convenes. Mr. Nolan did not resign tin iiith the (ielierHl Iaild Olllce, but sent hla resignation direct to tho 'resident, accompanying it with charge of official misconduct against Mlsa Aunii M. Lang, receiver at Tlie Dulles. Tho resignation and charges, inst.Mid of being turned over to the Ceueral Laud Olllce, where they pro perly Is-long, huve been aide tracked in seeroetury llitchewka' olllce. Mr. Nolan mid Misa Lang were ap pointed laud olllcials at Tho Dalles March 'A, Itml. the duy before Malcolm Moody retired from Congress. They were both appointed on Mr. Moody'a reconiiniidat ion.the 1'renideut not even coiiMiilting Senator Mitchell iu the matter. Though Mitchell waa dis pleased, he did not fight the nomina tions, and both were promptly confir med. The friendship that existed m twoeii Mr. Nolan and Mr. Moody four years ago appear to have died out, for Mr. Nolan now regurda Mr. Moody us hia personal and political enem However, iu tenderug hia resignation, he oxpreksr regret at beku , diligod to make charge that euvolvo the man to whom ho owes hia position. Mr. Nolan's charges, which aro set forth at length, iu affect alleged that Misa Lang haa kept Mr. Moody infor med about the business of the office and haa frequently supplied him with advance information about land that was to be opened to entry, aa well as about other mutters that bo says should be confidential. Utah Indictments. It is stated that the Federal grand jury, In session in Solt Lake City L'tuh, has voted nerverul indictments in connection with tho coal caves it has been hearing, (iraud jurois and court olllcials are guarding the secret so closely, however, that uo positive confirmation can be obtained. It is rumored that high olllcial of ttio Union Pacific Hailroml, the Ore gon Short Lino llailroad, Union Pa cific Coal Company, Denver unci Uio lirando Kailroad and Ulah I'ual Com pany are involved, but it is not bi llovod tho evidence thus far peseuted is direct enough to tiring about indict ments against lliirriman and (lould personally. The grand jury will hear more tes timony, however. Several witnesses were examined today. Nearly all, it is understood, gave testimony iu con nection with alleged discriminations of tho Unin Pacific Uailroad and the Union Pacific Coal Company .Orego nian. bloods in Washington. Terrible loss of property iu and about Seattle and Tacoma, Washing ton, 1ms resulted from floods caused by heavy rains in the mountains and the overflow of all tributaries of tho Columbia near Its' mouth. The loss of life so far estimated is five people, who lost their lives iu an elfort to dislocate large log jams that the high water was causing iu the rivers. Kail road nud wagon bridges have been washed out, houses and barns carried away, and much loss to crops both ia the ground nud iu gmuerics. Looso stock swamped on tho lowlands was caught and carried away with tho flood, which loss ia estimated in dol lars in tho neighborhood of "0.000, whilo other property loss, iucludiug bridges crops, merchandise, and build ings, will reach close to one million dollars. Lust reports the flood was subsiding, and It was thought the crisis was passed. Most of tho dam age was douo between ltaiuicr und the mouth of tho Coiumbla river. BIG BANQUET FOR THANKSGIVING DAY.

The man killed near Altnraa last Thursday morning by a runaway team waa on his way home from Alturaa where he bad been that day with a load of vegetables, bis name waa Milo Johnson, a man about thirty year of age, with a wife and four little child ren. Hia wife is a daughter of an old resident of Modoc county named New port, who lives on the stage road be tween Alturaa and Cedarville, a cou ple of miles from where Johnson waa killed. When informed of the acci dent Mr. Newport is quoted as saying that it waa no surprise to bim, as they had been expecting it for a year. Johnson waa a man that got drunk frequently whjj he went to town, and in order to make up for the time lost in town would run hia team on the road home. This time he was seen to be whipping the team while the horses were already on the dead run, and a few hundred yards from where he was seen from the XL ranch, hia dead body was found under the wagon by the stage driver ou his trip to Lakeview. He did not recognize tho man, although be was acquainted with Johnson, ho says he waa so bad ly mashed up that identification waa impossible. Every bone in bis arms and C.brt was broken and his skull mas Let The stage driver thinks that the man fell onto the double-trees and there hung until the colt he war working kicked him to pieces, and when he tumbled to the ground the lines being wrapped around him, the team was stopped, after running near three hundred yards through the rocks outside the road. The remains were taken to Alturas, where they were buried Sp;urday. More Can be Found. E. II. Loftus remarked in The Ex aminer office last week before starting for California, to be gone till March, that if he and John, his brother, suc ceeded iu deposing of their mine in tho Coyote Hills country, they knew wbero to go to find another one which they believed to tie as good. He said they had studied this country for j twenty years and knew nearly every ledge in the country, and will do more prospecting when they dispose of the mine they have found, which would give them money with which to work other claims that they might find. Mr. Loftus believes that this country will be one of tho greatest mining countries ou the Pacific coast within a very short time. The development of tho miiico already discovered will prove this assertion, and when they ure developed into producing miues, others will be found, for it is almost certain that there is a vast bed of mineral uderlyiug nearly the whole country. Cerber Sells Nowspap or. Lew is Gerber, the Klumuth stock man, who recoutly launched into the newspaper business, so we understand, has sold his half interest iu the Bon anza Hulloton to his partner, J. O. llauiaker. Mr. Gerbers' venture was thought to be ouo of pure patriotism to his community, as the Hulloton was doomed to a short life without thd financial aid of some public spirited man like Mr. Gerber, so be came to the rescue, and remained a partuer uutil the paper was placed ou a pay ing basis, and his retirement at this time proves that it was not his choice of a business but ho went into it in order that Houunzu might huve a news paper. A Klamath farmer will begin thrash ing his graiu uext week, rather late in tho year to bo harvesting crops; but then the climate of South-eastern Orogou tloes not interfere with most any kind of work at most any time of year. S, V, REHART CHIC 0 Describes Elevated Roads and Draw Bridges. SEES THE WORLD AS IT IS TODAY Chicago a Network of Railroads. Street are Darkened by the Overhead Tracks. Mr. 8. V. Rehart, who ia now la Chicago, writes The Examiner, des cribing the elevated railroad and drawbridge systems as follows: The tracks of the Elevated Systems are about on the level with the third floor of an average house, and run to four different parts of the city. The Iron pillars rest upon the edge of the sidewalks, and the iron beams reach from sidewalk to sidewalk, with double track from the city to the suberba. The power is transmitted from a third rail, hence no one is allowd to cross over the tracks. All of the four systems have differ ent names, all plainly seen upon the cars, and all of them center in the heart of the city, in what is called the loop district. In the loop district all the elevated trains pass over the same track every time they come to the city. In erea, the loop covers about seven blocks square, and has a station about every two blocks, at which, there are four stairways, two for entry, and two for exit. Upon going up one stairway, you will see a hand on the side point ing to the direction of each system. Should your car be on the opposite side, you cross over the street under the car tracks, and then up another flight of fctairs, with hands again pointing tyCnr oar, then after pay ing your nickle and passing throng the regestering gate, you cannot get on the wrong car. The nickle will carry you out to the suberbs of the city, ten or twelve miles, running day and night, with two to four cars in each train. ' While the elevated systems work perfectly there is little doubt but that in a few years the loop district will necessarily have to be removed, and placed under grouud. Von may imagine, but cannot realize the actual conditions, throughout this loop district, amongst those high buildings ranging from ten to eigh teen stories high. First the tracka shut out most of the light, necessitat ing artificial light during the day in all the buildings. Then the street cars pass along under the elevated, also all the vehicles and pedestrians, but worst of all the abomniable noise of these four systems of elevated trains passing over every few moments ia be yond any discription in my power, and tho damage to those buildings cannot be estimated. Near the center of the city is the canal or Chicago River, necessitating numerous draw bridges for the ele vated trains, tho street cars under neath, and tho many vehicles of all kinds together w ith the many pedes trians to pass over. These numerous draw bridges are on most of the streets, are built of iron and are more than two hundred feet long, balanced in the center up on rollers, cpeu and close for a bout to pass in about two minutes. But you aught to see tho congestion caused in those two minutes by the stopping of tho elevated trains, t the street cars, the vtshicels and pedes triaus, while the draw bridge is open ing aud closing for tho boats to pass. The small bouts und tug bouts can cass underneath tho draw bridge by having their smokestacks ou hinges. S. V. Rehart. The Klamath Falls Herald thiuks that the Klamath Indian Reservation may bo opened to entry within five yeurs, und possible sooner, although uo inuu kuows how long it will take to arrange for such au opening, the Herald prophecies that sooner or later, tho big event for past experience baa pioven that the opening of au Indian Rosorvutiou is no lesa thun a grand affair, aud occasioned by some fraud mixed iu with the exciting rush will be pulled ut some time iu the no dis tant future.
