. She Daily Transcript, . NEVADA CITY, CALIFORMIA.: Fools Rush In. Some of the newspapers on the Coast laber under the impression, or at least profess they do, that Superior Judge Caldwell of this county Se “e ‘Wednesday, Nov. 23, 1881. earn “The Sacramento Bee is just now engaged in attempting to show that Judge Caldwell was guilty of *‘judicial charlatanism” in temporarily enjoining E. O. Tompkins, Sheriff of this county, from trespassing upon the property of the hydranlic miners to the extent of shutting off their water supply. The facts of the transaction when briefly stated are as fol— ) —hadissued ‘a restraining order forbid-ding.certain hydraulic miaes in this county from continuing their operations.'"The latter went before the Supreme Court and by an exparte showing obtained an order from that ‘.tribanal “prohibiting. Keyser from taking farther action in the matter till he could show that he was not disqiaiified as had been alleged. He, instead of straightway justifying himself or attempting to do so, pre—viiled upon Judge Mayhew of still another county to take up the proceedings where he hadbeen compelled to drop them, and to issue an * order directing Mr, Tompkins to set himself up in opposition to* the Superior Court of Yuba county when he issued an order restraining Sheriff Tompkins from further interference with the enjoined hydraulic mines tfil he (the Sheriff] can show that he is acting under due and legal authority. As we prove in anotier article, Judge Caldwell has no official knowledye that Mr. Tompkins shut off the water in conformity with an—order from Keyser’s proxy, Judge Mayhew: The hydraulic compauies in asking for the restraining order simply com lained that ane E. O. Tompking had unlawfully scipienedd upon their claims and threatened to so cies. If Obadiah Hayseed of Marysville should go before J: adge Keyser and swear that John Smith had come upon his (Hayseed's) ranch and with the progress of work, would’ Keyser be fool enough to refuse to trespass again in ce tain emergen. , ne ee AUR FEROUS : < menial = An Interesting Theory of its Formation. 2 The following is the conclusion of the article on the above subject which . was begun in this paper yesterday: There is also reason to believe that during the first geological epoch glacial action. During. the early part of this period one of those streams in its course westward cut. through a very extensive trap-rock belt at Dutch -Flat. The chansiel becatae deep and nartow compara-. tively. The river had but little gravel fe it at the time, when all of asudden a great mass of rock ap— pears to have slid from the south bank into the stream, and we find thata great portion of this slide— tiles in a bedy, without being wasned-or rounded by the action of the water. Itake thie as evidence of was there unlawfully interfering . glacial action. Some time after thie great slide the.glacial marks disappear, and the serve certain papers upon the min-. not seen any record going to show jing from side-to side in the vaileys, era and also to cut off their water. The order was astrietly obeyed, whereupon the hydraulic mining companies began suits here to recover damages from Tompkins for trespass, and.acked that he be temporarily prevented from further interfereuce with their property. ©There being mothing on record in their complaints or elaewhere before this court to show that there were any previous lagal proceedings to warrant the trespass, it became Judge Caldwell’s bounden duty-toissue the order as prayed for, bonds having been properly filed by thethen complainants, It now remains for Mr. Tompkins, who is eued as a private citizen and not a8.a Sheriff, to show if possible that he was acting under due authority when he interfered with the private property of the miners, Judge Caldwell has dorie no more’ nor no less than any other upright \d conscientious and intelligent judge in the State would have done, and there are plenty of precedents to sustain him, The thing which really hurts the Bee is that the matter of sti:kens has now come up for dis-_ cussion outside a court that uwes its creation to an anti-debris constituency. Its indirectly expressed “statement that Judge Caldwell: is actuated by corrupt motives and its hope that he will be;impeached shows how very, very mad-that paper is at the thought of the,manner in which the hydraulie Jawyers “left” their e ponents op he above auspicious occasion. a Lee Let Rqaity Prevail. Speaking of the. debris litigation, the Post wisely admonishes both . mineraand farmers tuat without a compromise ‘is decided upon the lawyers are the only persous inter: ested who will reap any advanteges. As that paper says; It is admitted tliat thefarming. lands aléug the banks of the rivers,*the headwaters of which receive the debris of hydraulic mines, are liable to overflow and be rendered valueless for agricultural purposes; itis further admitted that to step hydraulic mining would cripple an industry second ouly to that of . agriculture, and, therefore, any fair compromise which -would admit of continued mining without serious lossto the farmiag iuterests, isin the Jine of a public necessity. The whole commonwealth is interested in the solution, and for this reason it should be the subject of intelligent concessions one to the other. Just. what the terms of the compromise should be we are not prepared to state, but we are satisfied that a dozen representative mea oaeach side, having full authority to act, coul:l arrive at a couclusion which wogld be mutually satisfactory, In all compromises of thia kind tuere myst be mutual concession. The loas shayld be as eqnally apportioned as possible. This ia in the strict line of equity, and equity, anil not dry Jaw, should decide these issues, xe eee .

All streams were liabld to be filled with lava at any time, ‘and the running waters had to form new channels repeatedly. Eventually, when the disturbing elements became exhausted and quiet prevailed,. the new and present rivers took their inception from the natural downward tendency of the water. From that time till now the country has changed greatly in altitude, and attained generally a much greater altitude than it formerly had which is clearly shown “by numerous faults in the bed-rock and also by the. disturbances in various places of deluvial andvolcanic strata of horizontal formations. which exists iu the Sierra Nevada I cannot refrain from pointing out. is to be found jn the form of an immense gravel or bowlder and deluvial deposit on the summit of the Sierra Nevada, three or four basaltic rock at an altitude of about 8,000 feet. This is proof of a large ‘stream once — flowing westward through that section of country, and draining a large porsion uf the interior basin in the egr. ier part of the madern river system.
