The grangers engaged in lawing
“the miners continue to appear solici“hydraulic branch of the imdustry is
Hot the only object of hostility.
Every time the note of warning’ is
rounded in the camps ef the geld-.
_ diggers, the press and people of the
valleys interpose aa aspurance ‘that
~ the quartz and deift miners are in
no danger,_Some of the less observant of the latter pat faith in these’
protestations, but the more far-seeiag and cautious know only too well
hw hollow and false they are.
We have been reading the history
of the Bear River debris litigation.
It gives the lie point blank to the
grangers, whoseacta rather than words
the micers.are now’ battlins against.
Turamz to Keyser’s findings of fact,
we find that paragraph 17, section 5,
reads:
The mining claims of the defendants, Knight Brothers, were located .
prior to the year 1859; they are
worked by. what is called the drifting process, which does not. disturb
what is called the upper strata, but
drifts out aud washes what is called
the pay streak or ‘lower strata; the
tailings from these claims are deposited in the bed of a creek which
leads into one of the main tributaries
of Bear River, ©
Paragraph 18 of the same section
reads: :
The mining claims of the defendants, Wyck Brothers, were located
in the year 1356. The defendants,
Wyck Brothers, have been the
owners of these claims since the year
1858. These ‘claims are . partly
worked by the hydraulic process,
aud partly by the drifting process;
the tailings from these claims are
deposited in one of the tributaries of
Bear River,
The next paragraph says:
The mining claims of the defendants, Nutting, Cooper, Frick &
Frick, were located prior to the
ear 1867. The defendants have
. the Owners of these claims
since the year 1867; in the year 1875,
they applied to the United States
for a patent and paid therefor, and
have a certificate of purchase thereThese claims are~ likewise
worked by what is called the drifting process; their: tailings’ are deposited in a ravine which leads into
one of the tributaries of Bear River.
Next follows the conelusions of
law as expounded by his howor.
Read carefully. the second clause
under that heading: ~
The defendants er either of them
have not acquired anyright to use
the bed of Bear River, nor the bede
of its branches or-tributaties as a,
place of deposit of ‘their mining
. tailings, nor to choke and fill with
such tailings. the channe's of Bear
River inthe valley thereof, nor to
flow or overflow plaintiffs lands
with such tailings, hor to coRRUP?,
FOUL AND T) MAKB UNFit FOR DOmestic, animal or irrigating uses, .
the water of Bear River.
The decree that was issued.in this
Bear River case affords additional
strong proof that the grangers -say'
one thing out of court! and another
init, Note the following extracts
from the decree:

The Great Struggle. —
Never before in the history of the
State has so great # struggle been
eatried on within her confines as the
onenow waging between the miners
and thé farmers. The industry that}
populated the Coast with the brainiest and most progressive element
abounding in the Kast, is being as+ sailed by a portion of our citizens.
some of whom are honest but igno-rant, others-intelligent bat unreason‘able, and still ethers as big thieves
afid blackmailersas the sun ever
shone upon. If the attack upon hydraulio mining proves successful we
alljknow fult welt that the foundation of the whole gold-producing: industry will have been sapped. To
remedy the damage done to the valleys by reason of mining, the miners
have ayreed to take the most liberal
measures, The grangers have but
one answar to make to all overtures,
and that is the fatal one of ‘tne compromise.” If wise and hénest coun-'
sel should prevail, the whole matter
would shortly be settled outside of
the courts, as itis bound te be
eventually. A tail cannof control
so great a thing as a dog, and the
courts of Calffornia do not possess
the greatness to successfully cope with
the debris problem. When the demand is made to destroy on@hundred
millions of dollars’ worth of property
that yields an annual return — of
twelve millions of dollars and furnishes sustenance fer fifty thousand of human beings, in order to
satisfy a few lawyers and their
misled cliente, the bounds of reason™
have been overstepped, and the demand must therefore go ungratified.
The Crash Continues.
The Marysville Savings Bank has
failed, the cause alleged being depreciation of values in real, estate.
4 Marysville is still slashing away at
the gash in her own throat, by foolishly seeking in the courts what cannot be obtained there. Unless she
pauses and takes a new tack immediately her doom will be sealed in #
few months more. It is an unpleasant thonght, but what is the sense of
hiding the fact that if there is a
heavy rainfall the coming winter
she must be swept away? Deplore
it as wa may, there is no use in trying to dodge the inevitable result.
If this winter -is a mild one,
her doom is only — postponed.
Nature is against her and with only
such dams and levees as she is able
to build without the miners’ aid she
has no ray of hope toclingto. The
catastrophe may be averted perhaps
uutil the lawyers have fivishedfsackingher, but that will make little
difference after she has gone, Meantime the lawsuits’ she is pressing
will render her legs able to withstand
the attacks of the elements.
Great Was the Fa’.
We always said that Judge Stidger of the San Juan Times would
come to some bad en . ; and now our
worst fears are realized, He has
fallen from the high estate of the
editor of a religious weekly journal to
become the atttorney of a hydrdulic miningcompany. The writ issued
by Judge Mayhew to be served on
the legal representative of the
Eureka. Lake & Yuba Canal ‘Co.,
was served on him by the Sheriff who had been told that he was the
right party, and he admitted his
guilt without a blush. We blush
for him therefore, and shall advise
Rafe Shoemaker the Tidings evangelist to immediately go up and wrestle
with him in—prayer before he is
beyoud redemptio.

The Grass Valley Union is converéaut with the record of Hancock and’
Sullivan, the two weorthies who
brought the Mayhew anti-slickens
erderg from Sacramento to Sheriff:
Tompkins, Tliey are just about the
kind of fellowa*ttiat one might expect to tind engaged in doing the
‘dirty work of Cadwalader, McClatchey and the other schemers. ‘It appears that last year one of these persons (and perhaps both#ioafed around
in Placer county s long time as a spy

Sullivan put in @ claim against Sacramerto county for his services as a
sneak,-but whether he realized ang
thinger not the Union does not
know. Hancock is a one-barreled
“little joker” im a circumscribed political circle. He was one of the
henorable bilk outfit that disgraced
itself and the State during the new
constitution fight, and, as the Union
says,’“‘appears to have @ bee in his

* Whom Shall We Believe ?
Hamilton Smith, Jr., President of
the Hydraulic . Miners’ Association,
Judge A. B. Bibble, .the retained
counsel of the mriners, and -Jameés
O’Brieg, of Smartsvyle, Vare in
Sacratffento at present and’ will remain here for several days. Their
object is to hunt up the testimony
of any parties hereabouts who may
be favorable to the hydraulicers, but
it is a general belief that they might
as well look for a needle in a hayatack.—Bee.
‘-It isa matter for comment that
nine out of ten Sacramentans wha
visit this seotion assure us that when
the Bee says the solid residents of
that city favor the anti-slickens
legislation it is guilty of misrepresentation, Which shall we believe ?
In one instance we have the statement of a hot-headed and ‘“‘iaterested” paper, in the other instance
scores of heavy tax—payers, or else
their representatives, Ifthe Bee is
telling the truth, the people of the}
mining sections should know it immediately, as they would materially
change their course in some respects,
Cheaks and Suits.
The house of Wurkheim & Co., is
the lirgest and oldest cloak establish
ment in San Francisco. The firm
commenced business about twenty
years ago, and by selling cloaks and
suits at cheaper rates than they can
be obtained at any other place on
the Pacific coast have built up an
immense business. . Their place is
125 Kearney street, where they can
supply cloaks of the very latest
styles from $5 te $500. Ladies’
suits of every kind of material always on hand and made to order.
The firm employ about one hundred
ladies in the manufacturing of cloaks
and suits. Wurkheim & Co, iavite
the attention of all dealers to the immense stock they now have on
hand, made upin the latest styles
for the Winter trade.
Why He Wept.
Yesterday afternood.a man stepped
into a Main etreet barber shap to get
shaved, While the barber was
ing the steel .over his face the man
began toshed tears, This attracting
the attention of the proprietor of the
shop, he directed the manipulator of
the razor to sharpen the implement.
As the shave continued the man’s
tears flowed unceasingly, and the
barber continued to whet his tool,
occasionally changing razors, and
striving as diligently as possible to
ameliotate the suffering of hia eustomer.
‘Weare using the best razors in
the shop, sir,” said the man with the
lather cup. ‘Your face must be
very tender, Does’ it pain you
much?” ,
‘tA razor pain me! De you suppose that a man who has been
through the war shrinks from physical suffering?\
“Then what the deuce have you
been blubberin’ about?” quered the
“I got to thinking over bad news
from the East. Another mother-in
law comin’ out to spend the winter.
Here’s the money for the shave.”
““T shan’t charge you a cent,” said
the barber, sadly, ‘I never bleed a
man’s pocket when his heart's bowed
