We beg to suggest to those who
think that it would bea hardship to
' stop hydraulic mining because it
gives employment tq many and adds
to the gold of the world, that. if it
were stopped drift mining would
“ing is continued for the benefit of
‘take its place aud give employment
ito ten men where guly one is employedinow in the hydraulic mines, And
the drifters would be better paid
than the
Chinamen would then be employed,
as they will not work underground,
and just ag much gold would be
taken Sout, because the pay dirt is
in the two or three feet of soil at the
bottom. * * * Hydraulic minthese law-defying corporations and
for them only. It does not. benefit
anybody but these corporations:
’ Hydrausic mining is an, absolute ines
jury to the workers and. traders of
tiié mountains and to the people of
the whole State.—Sacramento Bee,
The Bee knows there is not & paying drift mine in Nevada county, al.
though thousands and. hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been aud
are being expended in the hope of developing some, It knows that not
env.of the enjoined hydraulic mines
employs Chinese labor, _ It. knows
that as arule drift miners are not 80
well paid as. hydraulic miners, and
there is less danger to the lives and
limbs of the latter class, It kiows
that there is gold-bearing dirt to ttié
full height of the bank in many in8 ances, and that the coarse gold
alone frequently extends upwards
from ten to twenty feet. It knows
that. in Nevada county alone are
not less thap ten towns of respectable
size entirely dependent fot existence
on the continuance of hydraulic
mining, and that Nevada City is in
a great measure supported by that
industry. It knows that there are
ia Nevada county fifteen thousand
people who.would give half of their
earthly possessions if necessary to
geoure the continuance of hydraulic
_ willfully~ misrepresents the
. Opuration was
mining, and that half of that. number would willingly ‘bear arma in its
defense if any, unlawful assault
should be made against it, The Bee
knows these things because it bas
been told hundreds of -times that
they are true and it has not yet tound
a mining country man to deny them.
Therefore we charge that. the Bee

The Plain Truth.
The efforts being made by the
grangers to crash the miners with
such tools as partisan courts created
for that purpose, are absurd in the.
extreme, aud can only end in the
cc mplete demoraliza ion of the aggressors, The grangera are offered
the greatest of inducements to compromise. If they continue to refuse
aneeting the miners on a plane of reagon and peace, as they have in the
pist, the responsibility of their ruin
‘will be em their own heads, As the
R-cord-Union says: The miners’
p oceedings at present are perfectly
legitimate, but nevertheless they are
pouriug more debris into the rivers.
‘Fuese iueidents show how uncertain
the law is, and how hopeless it is to
expect that any swift ending ean be
had to the litigation in " progress.
‘The lawyers will dlways find exguses
for delay, and means of preventing
the farmers frova stopping the working of the mines for any leugth of
time, and the sooner this is realized
the sooner willthe farmers begin tu
perveive that their interests cau be
best served by a compro-nise,

The shutting off of the water on

Geo. D. McLean and company

‘Mr. Hancock, one of the spies that
accompanied the Sheriff, felt very
confident that the order made by
Mayhew was legal and would stand
the test of examination in the Supreme Court. He was very bitter
against hydraulic mining, and apparently opposed to a compromise,
He had a poor opinion of stone dams,
brash dams or any other kind of
dams, except damning the miners,
A load of powder was being taken
from this city to the American mine
near San Juan a few days ago, and

The Daily Exchange thinks that
in the report of the San Francisco
Debris Committee it is not stated
with the force and directness necessary how absolutely essential it is to
the salvation of Marysville that her
two-for-a-eent politicians, who are
trying to make personal political
capital out of the situation, must
take a back seat and give away to
meu who will grasp the facts and
understand them. That paper says:
The average valley farmer has an
idea that the one thing essential to
his salvation from debris is the shut‘ting down of the hydraulic mines,
The committee should have told this
class of men plainly and distinctly
that the mischief is done as far as
Marysville and surrounding country
are concerned, and have. made the
point so clear that no man could
lose sight of it. Instead of merely
recommending arbitration and leaying itan open question whether litigation would not answer as well,
the committee should have pointed
out that legal sharks have as great
eapacity for swallowing money as
debris ever had or could have for
injuring land; that litigation would
mean no dams, and therefore no
protection from floods,’and that litisult in good to neither farmer nor
miner, :

Pi’. E. Drescher writes to the
Sacramento Ree that it will be time

Justice Robinson's Dilemma.

lot of charts and a sheepskin, for he
already has a fine stock of medicine.
When Mrs, Potts was here she claimed that a certain lady ordered certain remedies to the value of thirty
dollars, but when they were sent
around th: lady in question refused
to pay for them. Mrs. Potts began
the mixtures in charge of her attorney. She went away before the
time for-trial, and counsel for prosecution moved to dismiss the case.
The Justice asked where the accrued
costs were coming from, and his curiosity was gratified by turning the
medicins over to. him as’ security.
