The growth of New York and-other Eastera cities “wae weak and languid until the gold . of California began to pour in, when ib received: an impetus such as the _ world hever saw before. If we look " dreds of elegant buildings, for’ ‘tealness and residence, all. owing. their origin tothe profits from mining. Bat show us one worth mentioning ‘built from the proceeds of grain, except'the distilleries. The trath is, « and everybody knows it, that the soil of California is being rapidly exhausted in the production of wheat, . and the only show for it is sterility. Less than two hundred persons own . six million acres of the wheat lands of the State, which are cropped year "after year with Chinese cheap labor, and searely a permanent improvement is visible over all the vast expause of wheat fields, and were the farmers all removed sbout the only sign they wonld leave behind would be less grass and trees and more nox. jous weeds and desolation, The in_ valleys, is easily painted. © It is of _ nnn One. golor—a dirty brown, Morning breaks hot and feverish, on a. lot of blanket men or Chinese rolled up in a straw stack where they have spent the night without a roof to shelter them, attempting to sleep to the “fiusic of twenty mules crunching diy barley. They rise, if the chills and fever will let them; and without ablutions go to a. breakfast of . fried bacon, alkali biscuits and black coffee. . They go to their work, on the dreary, shimmering plain, to be called ; ‘ at noon toa greasy dinner of pork and cabbage, and so on till night drops the curtain upon the miserable scene. Andallfor the purpose of making a vame for one land. grabber of raising more wheat than any boyard of Southern Russia. and saving less from the sales. This is the Ar‘eadian life of the California. farmer, that the slickens of the ruthless. miner destroys! Why, what is the difference between wearing out the soil for wheat and no profite, and eovering it up to such a depth with debris as to raise it above the pestilential ague ? Cannot the people. of the valleys sea that that section of the country was-not properly finished before they came in possesion ? In the course of a’ few thousand years more the valleys might have been so exalted as tobe fit for haman habitation. As they are, when the flooda of winter descend from the mountains the inhabitantsare in terror lest they be drowned out, «nd when in mercy the miners send down something solid for them to stand on and raise them safely above the raging waters, they growl at their deliverance. Sacramento ought to be raised forty feet above her present level, to be safe and healthy, and there she is, waiting for the earthquake to do the hoisting, when the flume from the American would fill the death valley within the levees with the substantial soil of the mountains and do away forever with these spring-time exhalations from dried up “sewage within the R street levee! lctnaiibinattaamsetgioenre cere A SACK WORTH-TACKLING. George Hearst said in his own Examiner the other day, and over his own signature :° By industry and economy, and in the pursuits which moat of them _7 (the laboring classes) have followed, T have been enabled to secure a mod-. erate competency. ' Upon this appearing, the Stockton Herald, which is honest even if Democratic, exclaims : og hametimeagohe was uired by one the San Francisco Courts to show his qualifications for becoming a sman in a large amount. At the time appointed his business man showed ‘Bp unquestionable securities amounting to 13,000,000, and war proceeding to show up more when the Court informed him that it was satisfied.

By reading Tit our thinedg will see that the same questions, as to the rights of the miners, are at issue in Colorado as is eines California, In Colorado the struggle is directly with the quartz miners, as there is no other mining of any importance ‘in that State, It is of course a strugg'e between a limited portion of the agriculturists of the State and the min‘ing industry, and is similar to the struggle in our State, excepting that in Colorada the “‘anti-miners” attaok the quartz miners openly, whereasin our State the ‘“anti-miners” Say that they do not intend to attack the quartz miners at. all. We have time and again warned all classes of miners that the statements of the “anti-miners” cannot be relied upon, and if they could close the bydraulic mines. they would next attack and close the quarty and drift pen to California that is now going forward in Colorado. ‘In. union there is strength,” and we again commend to all miners a perusal of the article which we republish to-day.

Hieronimus, served at Peter Lund’s Hotel, checked in its growth, to. give rise to much actimony.apon. both sides, The farmers claim that the tailmgs and water from the mills spread out over large tracts of ground and render them useless for purposes of agridamage of that kind can be avoided, and that the enactment of a law compelling them to prevent it wo.:ld virtually result in a shutting down of all mills located along the course of streams whose valleys are occupied by agriculturists. The problem is one that bas long puzzled tne brains}. of California legislators and yet remains unsolved. A partial, and in some instances nearly complete, success has followed the building of a series of dams at interval from each other across the streams. These dams,-by backing-up the water, give the fine tailings and slimes a chance to settle, and as but little escepes over the first dam the water passing over the second or third usually 1s
quite free from sediment. “It all ‘depends, asa matter of course, upon certain stream. The more there are the moe heavily charged will be the water, hence the necceasity of a sufficient number of dams to cause ‘the sediment to settle quite thoroughly }, before allowing the water to. go un. molested. When in the course of time the space back of the dams becomes fiilled up it can be cleaned out menced. This plan involves consderable expense but if the evil when allowed to go on is ofsuch dimensions as the farmers state, the cost should not be considered. The State cannot afford to allow the mills to suspend, nor at the same time shoul the rights and property of citizens who have spent years of time in beautifying and fructifying the valley of our mountain streams, be _ interfered with. A mutual agreement, that will do justice to both, can certainly be arranged. Grand Anniversary Party, ORATION, AND SWORD EXERCISE, Under the auspices of Spartan Lodge, No. 37,K. ofP.
