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.

in 1882 by Congress for this object,

of all but about $320,000, and in this
$320,000 is the sum of $250,000 api the Sacramento and

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

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.
