. 0rporation was organized in San of our citizens, whether miners or _ county will continue inthe front ~~may be well to publish. that portion " the event of breach as capable of in' den and wholesale disaster overtak“readers can readily understand what Feather Rivers, of which sum $120,pen tececns® see ewee SUNDAY, MAY 20, THE WORK CONTEMPLATED BY THE YUSsRIVER MINERS. We are creditably informed that a Francisco on the 15th inst. under the title of ‘The Yuba River Dam Company” with a capital stock of one million dollars, having for its object construction and maintenance vf one or more dams or obstructions on the Yuba River. Its objects are: (First—To construct and maintain at such point. or pointe on the Yuba River as have been or may be selected for that purpose a dam or dams to restrain and ‘impound the tailings debris now in said river above id-pointa, or which may hereafter flow into the same. Second—To acquire water righte and privileges on said Yuba River and to utilize the ‘waters thereof for mining, agricul: tural and manufacturing purposes. Third—To acquire and hold such real estate and personal property as may be necessary to carry out the objects and purposes of the corporation.” The names of the Directors are Egbert Judson, Thos. Price, Robt. McMurray, L. L, Robinson nd J, H. Bolles. ; A large sum was subscribed, suffi. cient to carry on the work with vigor during the coming season, and more money will ‘be forthcoming as required, Our principal mine owners in this and adjoining counties, whose mines whether quartz, drift or hydraulic, as well as the ditch owners whose waters and tailings find their way into the Yuba, will be called upon ‘at once for subscription to aid in this undertaking, and the call should be liberally responded to-by-all-classes not, for no one can doubt-that-if-the debris question is_settled by. construction of impounding dains our rank of the mining counties of the State. In connection with this matter it of the report of Col, Mendell of U. S. Engineers made to the Secretary of War, upon these structures: ‘The barriers.or dams to be permanent must be of stone in all exposed parts. If wood is used it must be in circumstances where it -will be kept wet, In the canons the dams will consist of a mass of stone blasted from the hill sides and deposited with only sufficient care of arrangement that no continuous carrents can be established through the structure, and that the velocity of the water shall be broken by repeated falls. In order to fulfill these necessary conditions it is essential that the quarry shall supply large stones, the larger the better, for exposed positions, and smaller grades to n.easurably fill the interstices of the larger. Where the foundation is natural rock, it is proposed to use only stone, but in cases where the foundation is gravel or sand, a grillage or matters of timber or brush will be required to prevent settlement. The purpose of barriers or dams being to restrain sand and gravel and not to impound water, it is not essential that they shall be impervious, nor can they be watertight, Being unable te store water, it is impossible to conceive them in flicting disaster upon riparian inhabitants below. Nor could a breech cause an unusual flow to any greater . distance of detritus in a given flood, for the reason already. established that floods are now fully loaded with all the material they are able to car_fy. The result of a breach however serious could therefore be only to reatore conditions now existing. Moreover, it is impossible to conceive suding one of these structures. They may settle, and their usefulness may be.impaired but being simply a mass of large rubble stone without bond, disaster cannot take great proportions or be an element of sudden danger to persons or property. In cases where brush or timber is much cheaper than stone it will be permissable to use it more freely and make a considerable part of the structure of this material—afterward covering _ with stone. The moisture below surface of the river bed may be relied upon to keep the wood wet, and the covering will protect it from the rays of the sun,” From the foregoing extracts our is proposed to be done by the miners, The course sibiad by the Secre. _ tary of War in withholding the application of the appropriation made in 1882 by Congress for this object, is inexplicable, as out of nearly $19,000,000 appropriated under the Riyer and Harbor Bill, he has approved of all but about $320,000, and in this $320,000 is the sum of $250,000 api the Sacramento and ,. their interests and for a further } pede from Arizona.and.Sonora.in ‘that direction, and may hav: -is inon the partisan representations _ of Cadwalader and other “anti-mining interests, has picked us out, as an example by which he hopes to show tothe people of the United States that he is looking ont sharply for lease of office. The New Placer Mines. ’ The San Francisco Chronicle eays: The news from Gaaymas of rich placer gold discoveries in Lower California will be likely to cause a stamfluence in this State, where the adventurers are not yet alldead. The reported discovery is lecated fourteen miles inland from Angel Guardia bay, or rather straits on the peninusula, Onold maps this place is called Angeles and is inland in the Gulf of California, situated on the thirtieth parallel of latitude, about 130 miles south of the, mouth of Colorado river and about 200 miles north of Guaymas. The only road leading to it is the water-way of the gulf. It has hitherto been as isolatedas Death valley, though on the ocean side of the peninsula there is a road running from Rosario on the western side of the mountain range, in latitude 31 deg., down to Loreto on the gulf, in about latitude 27 deg., at which poiht the road or trail passes through the mountains. As small steamers ply between the Colorado from Fort Yuma down to the gulf, and as they will certaioly exténd their trip down to Angel Guardia bay if the discovery is confirmed, that will be the cheapest and quickest way for adventurers from California and Arizona to get to the mines. We advise no man who is earning as much as $1.50 a day to leave that fora chance in Lower California. That country is perhaps the worst conditioned in the world for successplacer mining. It has no rivers and but few streams of any size which carry water for six_ mentee in the year, and without water placer mining Cannot be’ profitably carried “on onless the placers are richer thanthose about Coloma in 1848. It is probably for the wanc of water in these new mines that only coarse gold is reported. So far ‘‘diggiacs” have been found in but one valley over an area five miles, As these mountains are not high, the water supply even in these short streams is meager and uncertain. In rainy seasons every brook becomes a torrent, and three days after a cloud-burst they are dry, -Prospectors in Lower California, therefore, will have a hard time of it, Wiiuam Harper and Solomcn Hewitt, who were sentenced to be hanged at Couwsyborn, S, C.,June Sth, for the wurder of Jeremiah Halvey, escaped from jail Tuesday. They were released by a colored boy employed at the jail, who, during the absence of the jailor, secured the keys and unlocked the door of the murderers’ cells. Before leaving the prison they cut the throat of a fellow-prisoner named Benjamin Mc-Millan, who willdie. A large posse are.on their trail, and it is expected they will be recaptured.
