In the Superior Court of Sacramento county; Monday, T. B. M. Farland rendered his decision in the case of Digory Hobbs vs. The Amador and Sacramento Canal. Company. et als, on a motion to vacate or modn. ify an injunction previously granted “. against defendants as a hydraulic oore's Flat . mining company from tailing into the tributaries of Cosumnes’ river Freéman & Bates appeared in behalf of ‘defendants Yor the motion. Geo. Cadwalader for plaintiff in resistanée. The decision is as follows: In this case there has been submit. ted a motion to dissolve or modify the temporary injunction hereinbefore issued. The main defendant is a corporation. It was organized, as alleged in the complaint, “for the purpose of constructing ditches and carrying water in the same to mines, and disposing of the same, and mining therewith.” It also appears from the complaint and affidavits on file that defendant for many years has waters of the Cosamnes river to a place called Hill Top, in which it has continuously conveyed water to said last-named place; that at said Hill Top defendant owns mines which it has for many years continuously worked with said water, and that it bas also sold water to others to be used in mining at said place, It does not appear that defendant has been, or is, engaged in mining, or selling water for mining, at any other place. , Hill Top isat the head of Cook’s gulch, which empties into the Cosumnes river at Cook’s Bar, The injunction restrains defendant from dumping any tailings into Cook’s gulch, or into the Cosumnes river, and from selling water to the owner of any mine, the tailings from which would flow into said gulch or river. The” injunction was granted without notice. Counsel for deféndant very forcibly argues that under. these circumstances the injunction must be totally dissolved, betanse without notice, it suspends the ‘‘general and ordinary business of a corporation.” Generally a temporary injunction may be granted either before or after notice; but Section 531 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that: ‘‘An injunction to suspend the general . and ordinary business of a corporation cannot be granted except by the Court; or a Judge thereof ; ndr can it be granted without due notice of the application therefor to the proper officers, or managing agent of the corporation, except when the people of the State are a party to the proceedings.” Although this provision has always been a part of the statutory law of California, and similar provision has existed in New York, for many years, I find no judicial: interpretation of it ineither State +—and my attention has not been called to any case in point elsewhere. It may be reasonably mooted whether this provision refers to the stopping of the corporation—to the suspension of its corporate functions, the temporary paralyzing of its corporate life, or whether it refers to those acts—to that kind of business— which a natural/person may do as well as a corporation ; and if to the latter, then what constitutes such a total suspension as would come within the provision? If the question were submitted to me-upon-an—orig‘nal application for an injunction, I would be less embarrassed in determining it. The conclusion to which T have come is this: While I have doubts as to the power to grant the injunction in this case without notice, Iam not soclear about the Jmatter.as to feel warrant-d in declaring it void from the beginning, which would be'the result of sustaining defendant on this point. And I have alluded to the quéstion to this extent, so that the Bar may consider it in future cases. The motion to dissolve-or modify this injunction involves in some measure, though not wholly, the general question of the right of hydraulic miners to continue ‘their business. Upon that general question—with the exception-of a case recently decided by this Court— }there are no authorities in point and no precedents to follow. As no other country ever presented such a spectacle as the present conflict betweenthe mining anda part of the agricultural interests of California, so have the Courts of no country been called upon to determine such a question as that conflict raises. Supreme Court of this State, nor any of the Federal Courts, have had. occasion + yet te pass upon the question, it has ‘been determined, to some extent at least, by a recent decision of * Court, Judge Temple, presiding. ' vefer to what is generally known as the Gold Run case, That case was elaborately prepared and presented. and otherwise—from all parts of the country were examined. Each side was represented by able counsel. The Judge before whom it was’ tried was emiuent in his profession and of wide experience on bothi the nisi prius and Supreme bench * I think, therefore, that in the J yess ‘unsetapply-to this case. nao a carelul reading of his findings and opinion Itake his conclusion te be this: That hydraulic miners have not the _ Send sealtedaressed envel Yon right to continue to indiscriminately had a ditch running from the head A great many -witnesses—scientific’ d inks the sbeohait, to. the ‘lnjery of A Decision — ‘im yd Mydreettc Mining! riparian owpers below; but that they may continue to mine provided that by any means they can and do retain all the heavy material, and allow nothing to escape except the light matter whicl, is held in suspension in the water. The learned Judge says: ‘‘I have concluded to so find that when the heavier debris is completely impounded mining may be resumed, virtually refusing to -hold that the plaintiff may enjoin such operations as only corrupt the water with mud and render less suitable for domestic and other uses. . Perhaps I am somewhat moved to this by the consideration that otherwise mininy can néver be prosecuted at all, It will probably-be impracticable to impound the lighter portion of the sediment. I confess I shrunk from a consequence so far-reaching. In some respects the case at bar materially differs from the Gold Run case. In thelatter case the State was plaintiff 4nd represented, or assumed to re t, all the people, and all the interests injured by min‘ing. It involved questions not only of damage to agricultural lands, bat }of damage to navigable rivers and the bay of San Francisco. The case at bar is between individuals, and involves only damage to the private land of plaintiff. Again, the facts of this case differ materially from those of the Gold Ran case. The mot ted upon affidavits. These were conflicting, contradictory and unsatisfactory. Both parties requested me to visit the premises and make a personal inspéction of the mines, the gulch,the dams and all the surroundings, This [did afew days since, and my conclusions of facts are founded on both the affidavits and. my personal examination. ‘The hydraulic miners-of the upper Sierras, used to piping against banks several hundred feet high, with a corresponding hydraulic pressure, the Hill Top hydraulic mines at all. They are situated on the lowest part of the foothills, and are composed of small hills or hillocks surrounding the upper part of Cook’s gulch. The gravel deposit ranges . in hight from a dozen to thirty or thirty-fiye feet. The average hight is certainly much less than thirty feet. The vertical hydraulic pressure is from twenty-five to thirty feet. The water, therefore comes from-the nozzles with very little force-to bore into or knock down the banks, ‘The process is more like washing or sluicing than piping. It, is aided by occasional blasting with powder; but still the amount of ‘material washed off is necessarily small The bank is of a reddish oolor, and is composed of cobbles, smaller grav-. el stones, clay, and some sand. The tailings from the mines exéept the very heaviest ran through a cut and flume-and-damp into Cook’s gulch. About 2,000 feet below the damp . there is a brush dam entirely across the gulch, It is about 500 feet long, and, when I saw it a few days since, about nine feet high. It seems to be very firmandstrong, Ithas been ra‘sed gradually as the tailing have accumulated aboveit. WhenIsaw it there was solid mass of tailings above it to within a foot or two of the top. Some distance above this dam the water spreads out in several channels, which continually change and seem to deposit nearly all the heavy material.’ This dam is not intended to be water-tight, but to catch the tailings and allow the water_to—find its way through the upper part of brush. From a point three or four hundred feet above the dam, up to the dump, the gulch, is somewhat steep, but below the dam the grade is very light and the surface quite flat. Ata point 2,270 feet below, defendant has‘ constructed another dam, which is made of timbers and earth and is water tight. This dam backs the water so as to make a pond 300 feet wide and several hundred feet long. It could easily be made wider and higher. Attachea to this dam by a flood gate is a board flume, which carries the waters to a point about 300 feet from the river, where-they are again dumped into the gulch: Nothing seems to pass ivto the river except such light material as is carrled in. suspension. Heavy matter, in order to get into the river, would have first) to pass over-at least 1,500 feet of surface before it reached the tailings held back by the brush dam. It would then have to be carried over-the level surface of such tailings and through the dam, which is not likely to happen. It would thea have to pass’-over a nearly level surface for about 1,800 feet, and then through a pond of water four or five hundred feet and up over the flood gate of the lower dam. Such an occurrence is scarcely possible, certainly not probable. All this, however, is upon the basis that defendant, .either by enlarging the present dams as necessity may require, or Ay building additional ones, shall keep the gulch up to its present capacity of holding tailings, which will be its duty to do. Be‘tween the .present dams there is room for ercting several others. The average width ef the gulch be‘tween these dams is at least 500 feet; and [ see no difficulty, with proper care and diligence, in retaining the heavy material for a long time to come—perhaps until-the mines shall have been exhausted. ‘ Ps, But it-is claimed by plaintiff that the dams fre liable to break, and suddenly precipitate upon the lands nelow the accumulated mass of tailings. Of course any'dam may bveak; would hardly call these digging at, filled nearly tothe top with solid earth has to bear no such pressure as adam of similar bight filled with water. Whatever might be this danger in large rivers swept in flood times by torrents gathered from drainage areas of hundreds of thousands of acres, I think that the apprehended danger in this case has no reasonable foundation. The drainage area of Cook’s gulch is of the most limited character. Its entire length from the Cosumnes ‘river to the uppermost point from which rain water could naturally flow into ‘itis only one mile and a half. From the present brush dam to the upper. end of the gulch is only three-quarters ofamile. The average width of the level part is from 400 to 500 feet, and the distance from. either side to the top of the hill is very short. I do not think that the average distance from the top of the hill on the other side is greater than three-quarters of a mile. It is evi‘dent, therefore, that no considerable amount of natural water—certainly ‘no dangerous tegréent—is ever likely to flow down said gulch, If the dams should break, the only danger would be from the water flowing from defendant’s ditch—the amount being more than 1,000 inches. But in case of danger the defendant could immediately turn.the entire water of the ditch off and away from: Cook’s gulch, and it weuld be both its duty and interest to do so, Considering these circumstances and the further iact that plaintiff's land is more than sixteen miles below the mouth of the gulch, I see no just cause foplaintiffs fear of injury from th". breaking of the dams, . If the Courts of last resort shall declare the law to be that the miner has no right to pollute the streams at all, then, of course, defendant will have to be perpetua!ly enjoined from working its min>s. But, assuming the present state of the law upon the subject to be as I have stated it, and as it was declared in the Gold. Ran case, then I think that the injunction should be so modified as to ~allow defendant to work its mines in accordance with the views and upov the couditions-herei® set forth. Of course this decision is: based upon the particular tacts of this case, and is not to be considered a predecent for cases where the facts are materially different. An order will be prepared and entered modifying the injunction: in accordance with these views; and defendant must exercise the greatest diligence in keeping its dam up to its present efiisiency, or the modified injunction will be considered as violated.

The Rebekah Degree Lodge, the Encampment and the two subordinate lodyes Of Grass Valley, also the lodges at Rough and Ready and at You Bet have replied to the invitations. extended, agreeing to be present. ‘The North San Juan and~Moore’s Flat lodges are the only ones in the Dis{trict yet to be heard from. The lodges at Dutch Flat, Colfax, Auburn, Wheatland, Forest City, Downieville and Chico (Grand Master Freer belongs to the last named) have also. been cordially invited to be here. It is estimated that upwards of 500 Odd Fellows, many of them accompanie . by their families, will ‘attend, and the city will wear a holiday appearance. Good accommodations will be provided for the entertainment of all. The procession will probably march at about 11 o’clock in the morning. Charles E. Mulloy has been selected as Grand Marshal, ‘and“his-staff of mounted Aids will include _one_representative from each visiting Lodge, at the Theatre immediately after the procession, and will be followed by a complimentary dinner served at the various hotels for the invited guests, Other features not yet fully decided upon will be introduced during. the afternoon and evening. The grand ball at Hunt’s [all will be a fitting finale to the festivities. The price of tickets to dancers will be $1.50 per couple, spectators being admitted to the galleries at 50 cents each, + —+__-+-—_-2e—e Cross’ Divorce Bill. “Senator Cross introduced a bill “relating to divorces to be granted, or actions brought in the name of the people of the State.” The bill is now ob the Senate file for a second reading. Its full text is as follows: ‘Whenever husband and. wife have lived separate and apart from one another, by agreement or otherwise, for a period: of at least four years, neither party having brought any action to dissolve the bonds of matrimony existing between them within four years after their separation, the People of the State of California may, upon the relation of any citizen bring an action against both husbapd and wife in any Supetior Court of this State to have the bonds of mairimony existing between said hue shall appear upon the trial of such action that said husband and wife have lived separately and apert from one another for a period of at least four years, by agreement or otherwise, .and brought an action to dissolve the marriage existing between them with in a period of said four years after their separation, then said Court where said action is pending shall enter a decree dissolving the bands of matrimony existing between said husband and wife, and said Court may, in its discretion, provide for the support of the wife and children, if there be any by said husband, a may be reasonable and just.” Mr. Cross introduced the bill by request. Mrs. Wm. F. Smith of San Francisco claims that the-object of it is to enable her husband, one Dr. Smith, to secure a divorce from her. It will probably be defeated. = The Water Case.

In the Superior Court of Sacramento county; Monday, T. B. M. Farland rendered his decision in the case of Digory Hobbs vs. The Amador and Sacramento Canal. Company. et als, on a motion to vacate or modn. ify an injunction previously granted “. against defendants as a hydraulic oore's Flat . mining company from tailing into the tributaries of Cosumnes’ river Freéman & Bates appeared in behalf of ‘defendants Yor the motion. Geo. Cadwalader for plaintiff in resistanée. The decision is as follows: In this case there has been submit. ted a motion to dissolve or modify the temporary injunction hereinbefore issued. The main defendant is a corporation. It was organized, as alleged in the complaint, “for the purpose of constructing ditches and carrying water in the same to mines, and disposing of the same, and mining therewith.” It also appears from the complaint and affidavits on file that defendant for many years has waters of the Cosamnes river to a place called Hill Top, in which it has continuously conveyed water to said last-named place; that at said Hill Top defendant owns mines which it has for many years continuously worked with said water, and that it bas also sold water to others to be used in mining at said place, It does not appear that defendant has been, or is, engaged in mining, or selling water for mining, at any other place. , Hill Top isat the head of Cook’s gulch, which empties into the Cosumnes river at Cook’s Bar, The injunction restrains defendant from dumping any tailings into Cook’s gulch, or into the Cosumnes river, and from selling water to the owner of any mine, the tailings from which would flow into said gulch or river. The” injunction was granted without notice. Counsel for deféndant very forcibly argues that under. these circumstances the injunction must be totally dissolved, betanse without notice, it suspends the ‘‘general and ordinary business of a corporation.” Generally a temporary injunction may be granted either before or after notice; but Section 531 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that: ‘‘An injunction to suspend the general . and ordinary business of a corporation cannot be granted except by the Court; or a Judge thereof ; ndr can it be granted without due notice of the application therefor to the proper officers, or managing agent of the corporation, except when the people of the State are a party to the proceedings.” Although this provision has always been a part of the statutory law of California, and similar provision has existed in New York, for many years, I find no judicial: interpretation of it ineither State +—and my attention has not been called to any case in point elsewhere. It may be reasonably mooted whether this provision refers to the stopping of the corporation—to the suspension of its corporate functions, the temporary paralyzing of its corporate life, or whether it refers to those acts—to that kind of business— which a natural/person may do as well as a corporation ; and if to the latter, then what constitutes such a total suspension as would come within the provision? If the question were submitted to me-upon-an—orig‘nal application for an injunction, I would be less embarrassed in determining it. The conclusion to which T have come is this: While I have doubts as to the power to grant the injunction in this case without notice, Iam not soclear about the Jmatter.as to feel warrant-d in declaring it void from the beginning, which would be'the result of sustaining defendant on this point. And I have alluded to the quéstion to this extent, so that the Bar may consider it in future cases. The motion to dissolve-or modify this injunction involves in some measure, though not wholly, the general question of the right of hydraulic miners to continue ‘their business. Upon that general question—with the exception-of a case recently decided by this Court— }there are no authorities in point and no precedents to follow. As no other country ever presented such a spectacle as the present conflict betweenthe mining anda part of the agricultural interests of California, so have the Courts of no country been called upon to determine such a question as that conflict raises. Supreme Court of this State, nor any of the Federal Courts, have had. occasion + yet te pass upon the question, it has ‘been determined, to some extent at least, by a recent decision of * Court, Judge Temple, presiding. ' vefer to what is generally known as the Gold Run case, That case was elaborately prepared and presented. and otherwise—from all parts of the country were examined. Each side was represented by able counsel. The Judge before whom it was’ tried was emiuent in his profession and of wide experience on bothi the nisi prius and Supreme bench * I think, therefore, that in the J yess ‘unsetapply-to this case. nao a carelul reading of his findings and opinion Itake his conclusion te be this: That hydraulic miners have not the _ Send sealtedaressed envel Yon right to continue to indiscriminately had a ditch running from the head A great many -witnesses—scientific’ d inks the sbeohait, to. the ‘lnjery of A Decision — ‘im yd Mydreettc Mining! riparian owpers below; but that they may continue to mine provided that by any means they can and do retain all the heavy material, and allow nothing to escape except the light matter whicl, is held in suspension in the water. The learned Judge says: ‘‘I have concluded to so find that when the heavier debris is completely impounded mining may be resumed, virtually refusing to -hold that the plaintiff may enjoin such operations as only corrupt the water with mud and render less suitable for domestic and other uses. . Perhaps I am somewhat moved to this by the consideration that otherwise mininy can néver be prosecuted at all, It will probably-be impracticable to impound the lighter portion of the sediment. I confess I shrunk from a consequence so far-reaching. In some respects the case at bar materially differs from the Gold Run case. In thelatter case the State was plaintiff 4nd represented, or assumed to re t, all the people, and all the interests injured by min‘ing. It involved questions not only of damage to agricultural lands, bat }of damage to navigable rivers and the bay of San Francisco. The case at bar is between individuals, and involves only damage to the private land of plaintiff. Again, the facts of this case differ materially from those of the Gold Ran case. The mot ted upon affidavits. These were conflicting, contradictory and unsatisfactory. Both parties requested me to visit the premises and make a personal inspéction of the mines, the gulch,the dams and all the surroundings, This [did afew days since, and my conclusions of facts are founded on both the affidavits and. my personal examination. ‘The hydraulic miners-of the upper Sierras, used to piping against banks several hundred feet high, with a corresponding hydraulic pressure, the Hill Top hydraulic mines at all. They are situated on the lowest part of the foothills, and are composed of small hills or hillocks surrounding the upper part of Cook’s gulch. The gravel deposit ranges . in hight from a dozen to thirty or thirty-fiye feet. The average hight is certainly much less than thirty feet. The vertical hydraulic pressure is from twenty-five to thirty feet. The water, therefore comes from-the nozzles with very little force-to bore into or knock down the banks, ‘The process is more like washing or sluicing than piping. It, is aided by occasional blasting with powder; but still the amount of ‘material washed off is necessarily small The bank is of a reddish oolor, and is composed of cobbles, smaller grav-. el stones, clay, and some sand. The tailings from the mines exéept the very heaviest ran through a cut and flume-and-damp into Cook’s gulch. About 2,000 feet below the damp . there is a brush dam entirely across the gulch, It is about 500 feet long, and, when I saw it a few days since, about nine feet high. It seems to be very firmandstrong, Ithas been ra‘sed gradually as the tailing have accumulated aboveit. WhenIsaw it there was solid mass of tailings above it to within a foot or two of the top. Some distance above this dam the water spreads out in several channels, which continually change and seem to deposit nearly all the heavy material.’ This dam is not intended to be water-tight, but to catch the tailings and allow the water_to—find its way through the upper part of brush. From a point three or four hundred feet above the dam, up to the dump, the gulch, is somewhat steep, but below the dam the grade is very light and the surface quite flat. Ata point 2,270 feet below, defendant has‘ constructed another dam, which is made of timbers and earth and is water tight. This dam backs the water so as to make a pond 300 feet wide and several hundred feet long. It could easily be made wider and higher. Attachea to this dam by a flood gate is a board flume, which carries the waters to a point about 300 feet from the river, where-they are again dumped into the gulch: Nothing seems to pass ivto the river except such light material as is carrled in. suspension. Heavy matter, in order to get into the river, would have first) to pass over-at least 1,500 feet of surface before it reached the tailings held back by the brush dam. It would then have to be carried over-the level surface of such tailings and through the dam, which is not likely to happen. It would thea have to pass’-over a nearly level surface for about 1,800 feet, and then through a pond of water four or five hundred feet and up over the flood gate of the lower dam. Such an occurrence is scarcely possible, certainly not probable. All this, however, is upon the basis that defendant, .either by enlarging the present dams as necessity may require, or Ay building additional ones, shall keep the gulch up to its present capacity of holding tailings, which will be its duty to do. Be‘tween the .present dams there is room for ercting several others. The average width ef the gulch be‘tween these dams is at least 500 feet; and [ see no difficulty, with proper care and diligence, in retaining the heavy material for a long time to come—perhaps until-the mines shall have been exhausted. ‘ Ps, But it-is claimed by plaintiff that the dams fre liable to break, and suddenly precipitate upon the lands nelow the accumulated mass of tailings. Of course any'dam may bveak; would hardly call these digging at, filled nearly tothe top with solid earth has to bear no such pressure as adam of similar bight filled with water. Whatever might be this danger in large rivers swept in flood times by torrents gathered from drainage areas of hundreds of thousands of acres, I think that the apprehended danger in this case has no reasonable foundation. The drainage area of Cook’s gulch is of the most limited character. Its entire length from the Cosumnes ‘river to the uppermost point from which rain water could naturally flow into ‘itis only one mile and a half. From the present brush dam to the upper. end of the gulch is only three-quarters ofamile. The average width of the level part is from 400 to 500 feet, and the distance from. either side to the top of the hill is very short. I do not think that the average distance from the top of the hill on the other side is greater than three-quarters of a mile. It is evi‘dent, therefore, that no considerable amount of natural water—certainly ‘no dangerous tegréent—is ever likely to flow down said gulch, If the dams should break, the only danger would be from the water flowing from defendant’s ditch—the amount being more than 1,000 inches. But in case of danger the defendant could immediately turn.the entire water of the ditch off and away from: Cook’s gulch, and it weuld be both its duty and interest to do so, Considering these circumstances and the further iact that plaintiff's land is more than sixteen miles below the mouth of the gulch, I see no just cause foplaintiffs fear of injury from th". breaking of the dams, . If the Courts of last resort shall declare the law to be that the miner has no right to pollute the streams at all, then, of course, defendant will have to be perpetua!ly enjoined from working its min>s. But, assuming the present state of the law upon the subject to be as I have stated it, and as it was declared in the Gold. Ran case, then I think that the injunction should be so modified as to ~allow defendant to work its mines in accordance with the views and upov the couditions-herei® set forth. Of course this decision is: based upon the particular tacts of this case, and is not to be considered a predecent for cases where the facts are materially different. An order will be prepared and entered modifying the injunction: in accordance with these views; and defendant must exercise the greatest diligence in keeping its dam up to its present efiisiency, or the modified injunction will be considered as violated.

The lodges at Dutch Flat, Colfax, Auburn, Wheatland, Forest City, Downieville and Chico (Grand Master Freer belongs to the last named) have also. been cordially invited to be here. It is estimated that upwards of 500 Odd Fellows, many of them accompanie . by their families, will ‘attend, and the city will wear a holiday appearance. Good accommodations will be provided for the entertainment of all. The procession will probably march at about 11 o’clock in the morning. Charles E. Mulloy has been selected as Grand Marshal, ‘and“his-staff of mounted Aids will include _one_representative from each visiting Lodge, at the Theatre immediately after the procession, and will be followed by a complimentary dinner served at the various hotels for the invited guests, Other features not yet fully decided upon will be introduced during. the afternoon and evening.

Its full text is as follows: ‘Whenever husband and. wife have lived separate and apart from one another, by agreement or otherwise, for a period: of at least four years, neither party having brought any action to dissolve the bonds of matrimony existing between them within four years after their separation, the People of the State of California may, upon the relation of any citizen bring an action against both husbapd and wife in any Supetior Court of this State to have the bonds of mairimony existing between said hue shall appear upon the trial of such action that said husband and wife have lived separately and apert from one another for a period of at least four years, by agreement or otherwise, .and brought an action to dissolve the marriage existing between them with in a period of said four years after their separation, then said Court where said action is pending shall enter a decree dissolving the bands of matrimony existing between said husband and wife, and said Court may, in its discretion, provide for the support of the wife and children, if there be any by said husband, a may be reasonable and just.” Mr. Cross introduced the bill by request. Mrs. Wm. F. Smith of San Francisco claims that the-object of it is to enable her husband, one Dr. Smith, to secure a divorce from her. It will probably be defeated. = The Water Case.
