Desert Prospectors Find Ancient Ship Wreck in California Desert
A prospector in the Colorado Desert discovered what appears to be an ancient ship wreck buried under a cracked alkali crust. The vessel lies near a vast, flat, ashy terrain in San Bernardino County, with masts and bulwarks partially preserved but the hull largely intact. After a perilous trek the man paused due to the crust, losing his horse to the shifted ground, and returned to civilization to report the curious find. Theories link the wreck to a 16th century ship from Acapulco bound for Spain, lost while traveling through the Gulf of California, now stranded in the barren plain.

Oddities and claims from distant towns and courts
A scrambled column notes a drunken wager on a Dublin platform, a New Orleans rumour about Antoine Lofonia as the richest colored man, and progress on Charleston’s Calhoun monument amid an earthquake. It reports fortune tellers thriving in England, a Fort Wayne ape-faced bird, soil-free cereal crops, and price trends in butter. It mentions a loaded revolver in a stove, a dangerous chemical list, a hedge stash of $70 in nickels, $400 in greenbacks, and a $200 CD. The Anderson Music Hall boycott and a grave marker tale in Connecticut are sketched alongside library moves and escaped convict Henry Lampoon. It closes with notes on gin towns, chinamen and Indians on a ranch, antique coffee sets, and artificial tears from onion oil.
