The report received at the railroad cfRoe luet night sayi the water leaves the Colorado Kivtr at a point 0 miles from El Rio and fljwa through several chan nels from 4 to 6 feet deep. It flows westward along saud hilla on tbe line of the old overland stage at this sta tion, making a irtream 100 yards wide or more and having a velocity ;of (our miles an hour and gaining. It wis too deep to get depth but the Old slough at this point was formerly 80 feat deep. This is about 85 miles from the River. We followed the stream 9 miles further in the direction of Indian Walls. The water is all the way from half a mile to tro miles wide and 2 to 4 feet deep having velocity of two miles an hour. Tho main channel extends 55 miles from the Colorado River, This is the point it enters the desert for Sal ten. The old stage route with the exception of 0 or 0 miles, is all covered with water. This settles tho question of the water supply conclusively as from tbe .Colora doIRlver. New lark Stack Market. New Yohk, July 8.
