‘built from the proceeds of grain, except'the distilleries. The trath is,

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

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

and fever will let them; and without
ablutions go to a. breakfast of . fried

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

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

T have been enabled to secure a mod-.
erate competency.
' Upon this appearing, the Stockton
Herald, which is honest even if Democratic, exclaims :

the San Francisco Courts to show
his qualifications for becoming a

the time appointed his business man

amounting to 13,000,000, and war
proceeding to show up more when
the Court informed him that it was

the struggle is directly with the
quartz miners, as there is no other

struggle in our State, excepting that

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

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.
