San Diego, Cal., July 27.- The San Diegan publishes a descriptive account by Col. I. K. Alien, a well-known engineer, of phenomena in what is known as the volcanic región of Cocopah mountains, situated 05 miles southwest of Yuma in lower California. Col. Alien says that there are over 3,000 active volcanoes there, one-half of which are small cones, measuring 10 or 12 feet at the base. The remaining half are from 5 to 40 feet at the base and 15 to 25 feet in height. The whole volcanic región is encrusted with sulphur. One peculiar feature of the región is the lake, which is a quarter of a raile in length and one-eighth of a raile in vvidth. It is seemingly bottoraless and the water is hot and salty and of a jet-black color.
