N REVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA: ~~ Saturday, Wor-5, 1881. a aaa Macked Slickens. The Sacramento Bee will be griev; ously diseppointed if the miners do not turn Sheriff Tompkins up and spank him when he attempts to turn off their water, It knows if they do this it will give an opportunity to call out the militia, and the Bee is . gertain that in this latter event there will be a regular war that will ena“able war correspondents—in general, and the Bee's own in particular, a "dhanse-to jusb “throw themselves,” But our fassy contemporary is. doomel toHsappointment,, There is io blood on the bydraulio moon, It is all in the grangers’ eyes. : Suppose that this foreneon Sheriff Tompkins shoald begin ta turn off the water at the head of the various ditches, and that-asfast-as he did so unknown peraons should tome and turn it on again, Suppose that he should telegraph details of this revolutionary’act below, and suppose the iovernor should send up a gang. of the jolly soldier fellows puder command of Col. Sheehan. “Suppose the Co®onel and his army, should visit the various dame seattered all over the apper part of the county end: hire good-natared residents in the. Looulity to efiter the dark aad dangereus tunnels at each one and give the ehatting-off apparatus a whirl—no novice who knew enough to right shoulder shift would be fool enough to rmk his life, for if the turning is ‘mot done just right it is sure death to the operator, And supposing the boys would serve the soldiers the aame way they did the Sheriff, viz: Burn the water back gn again as soon as the coast was olear, And supposing that thirty or forty soldiers ahould then be permanent!y stationed at each one of all those «dams, And supposing that some reckless aud desperate miners, thua foiled from earning “their daily bread, should slip around during a stormy . night, blow up the dams with giant powder, and increase the volume. of water going to the vallays so much that Marysville would be. swept away within the @next twenty-four heurs,. ‘There are a good many things connected with t's subject that the Bee and its gang of judicial eutthroata never thought of. It’s a biglead for a one-horse Superior. Court to attempt to work. Congress oarries aboah the right sized gune (mentally, we mean) to grapp'e with it successfully, : in : Clearly 4 7¢ cat. Jndge Mayhew’s order te Sherlif ‘Tompkins to turn off the hydracdtlic miners’ water is being langhed at by able lawyers all over the State, and the Sheriff will probably be shows that.he will not be justified in obeying it, His duties are plainly laid down by law, and are jn substance “to serve notices, execute processes on property, and arrest and take charge ot persons, as directed by courts; also to perform eny other legal acts regnirea of him. Now it is the tiners and not the minos that are the dofendants.in this slickens case, and if the mipers are guilty ef contempt Mayhew or any other Judge similar. ly sitaated has the power to~order their arrest. Bat he has no right to interfere with their private property. It would be just as reasonable for him to toll Sheriff Tompkins to epike the monitors as to order him td\ shut eff the watet, and -he would probably be obeyed as qiiick.in one instance as the other, If Judge Mayhew ‘wants the minera whom he alleges to be guilty of contempt because they insist upon working to keep starvation from their doora, let him send after thom. He will find the supply ef them inexhaustible. He can fill “all the jails in the granger counties with them, and atill there will be enough left to continue takiug out the gold. Batthe miners have too much senee to recognize his right to trespass.on their private property, and they won't stand auch nansense, + o Wor Baie. arent A Portable ~_—. 7x14. Apply to G, G.

[Marysville Appeal, Nov. 8d.] Judge Mayhew is Judge of the Superior Court of Tehama county, and he presided in the Saperior Court bere yesterday, by request of . Judge Keyser, to hear o niotion ia the case of The City of Marysville ys. the North Bloomfield’ Gravel Mining Company et al, ‘The plaintiff was represented by Georga Cad— walader and “Judge Craddock. Phere was no appearance for defendanta, In moving the Court to grant the order given below, Mr. Cadwalader produced aud read affidevita by C. E. Sexey, B L. Nash, RO. McMillan, ayd. Mayor—Stone. In brief, the affidavits set forth that certain kydraulio mining companies nhmed below have violated the injunetion issued in the aboye-entitlhd canse, and that hy reason of suo violation and the lawless attitide of said “defendants the situatidn of plaintiff is one. of constantly increasing peril, calling for immediate relief. The following affidavit of Mayor Stone exhibits the main points on which the motion of plaintiffs attormeys were made: -_ AVFLDAVIT OF THE MAYOR. C. E. Stone,being first duly sworn, deposes and says, that he is the daly elected, qualified and acting Mayor of the City of Marysvilie, of which place he has been an actual resident for over sixtecn years, and he farther saya that he has: devoted much time and attention to thejexamination and study of what is called the debris question, especially in connection with the city of Marysvilleand the Yuba river. Affiant further says that the general observance duriag the past Summer of the injunction issued in the above efititied cause by the enjoined hydvfnlic. mining companies on the Yuba river materia:ly improved the quality of the-water in said river and the conditiow vf the siid ity, . and if the observance of such.injanction had been continned to this time Subscribed and sworn te before tas this 2d day of November, 1831. N, D, Porat, Notary Public. . After the affidavits bad been read and filed, the Court: granted plaiiquiring certain defendants to appear in the Superior Court of this city on the 25th instant and show cause why they should not be punished for contémpt, The ordera also command the Sheriff of Nevada county to forthwith proceed to the mines of said defendants and vlose them down, and keep them olesed until fucther orders from the said Court. Tho defendants against which these ordera were ispued are the North Bloomfield Mining Company, Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Co., Boston Mining Co., Milton Mining Co. and China Mining Co., all operating in Nevada county. The following is a copy of the order made in respect to the Boston Mining Co., which does not differ materially from the ‘orders res, cting the. others named. above: THE ORDER OF COURT, . Gity of Marysville, plaintiff, ve. North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Co, et al., detendants. 2 Lt appearing to the Court from the affiavit of ©. E, Stone and the return. of the Sheriff. of Nevada-county, both of which papers dre on file, that the defendant. herein stvled. .the Boston Mining Company, a hydraul‘io miniug company doing bus ness at ov near a place called Wolsey’s or Moore’s Flat in Nevada county, by the order and write of injunction of the Seventh Judica! District in and for the county of Yuba, made and issued in said action, was enjoined and restrained from deposit— ing.in and suffering to flow into the channel of the Yuba river, the North South and Middle Yuba rivers, or into the tributary streams or guiches that lead or flow thereinto, any of the tailings irom its bydraulictmines, commonly called mining debris, which said injunction has ever .since been and still ig in force and effeat, aud that aaid+rdvtendant in cdntemptuous disregatd of said writ of injunction and after due service, and throughout the Winter, in the opinion of athiant, the water of said; atream would cut, scour and carry . awny enough of the’sand and sedi-. montin the chaunel of the Yuba river abreast of said city, and would have so deepene'l said channel, ss to practically avert all danger of over-" How to said city from said source. Affiant‘farclier says that there cannot be furvher deposits of tailings thereof upon it has continuously and ever since the toth day of October, JsSl, been running and suffering the tailings or wining deris from its said intning claims at the place aforesaid to flow into the channel of the. Middle Yuba river, and that said defendant intends and declares its intentioa to contivua its said mining operations in the manner aforesaid in gross disregard of said injunction Now therefore it is ordered that from bydraulie mxes in the: Yuba river or ita branches or tributaries to said city from overflow by the waters thereof as soon as tha storms of Winter come, and without a loss to such waters of the'r power to cut and scour ont and carry away the sind and sedimentary matter in the ‘Yuba river abreast of said city, and affiant further says thatin the past month of October such of ithe dotendants in this action as the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company, the Milton Water and Mining Company, the Boston Mining Company, and the China Mining’ Company, in wanton and contemptuous disregard of the injuaction tssued herein, commenced operating their said mines and commenced’ discharging tha tailings therefrom into the North, South and Middle Ynba rivers at the rate of about 50,0. jeubie yards per day, and ever since have beer continuing said operations, and .each ofsaid detemdants iatende and publily déclares its intention nod to respect the injupction issued in said caure but to violate the same regartloss of the damage done to plaintiff therehy and of ail other consequences,” And affiant is informed and believes that cach of said defendants has agreed to adopt the ‘‘paseive policy” of resistance to said injunotion and to the orders of this Court in support thereof, that is to say, they will continnously operate their said mines aud steadily continue the flow ef their tailings into the said river channels, and will make’ no resistance to’ orders fiom this Court arresting the partics engayed in the violation of said injunction, but will soffer their enpleyees to be taken off by the arresting officers, whose places will bo forthwith supphed by other hired men, aad so the due execution of the law inthis case will be bafilad by such unlawful expedients, and as they eclsim,. eventually defeated: That in view of all this and of the irrepsrahle damage which will result to the plaintiff ffom the contiuoed violation of said injunction by said defendants, and of the Vexatious delays sare to ocour in securing dae service of the rule herein upon auid defeudants to show canse for a violation of said injunction, it is necessary that the order of the Court. should compel cbedietece to aaid injunction by forthwith causing said defondants’ mines to be olosed down and the watejs thereof shut off pending the hearing of the rule asked for ai this time. Affiant further says that the condition of the water in that part of the Yuba river aWreast of this city is simply intolerable, said water be. fore the Cunrt at the coart house in without great and immediate danger pee: of Marjaville on the 25th day ing totally unfit for any purpose, owthe said defenaant show cause beof November, 1881, at the hour of 10} A. M, why it should not be punished for acontempt for its refusal to obey and its aforesaid violation of the said injunction order of this Court. And it is fuscher ordered that a service of # copy'of this order'and of said affidavis five days before the return day thereof upon. either the Presidents, the Seerstary, Superintendent or Manaying Agent of said defendant shall be a sufficient service of the order. j ; Au. it further appearing. from said affidavit that during the delay. incident to the hearing of thia rule that the defendant will .continue ‘to violate said injunetion by depositing in and suffering to flow into the channels of the Middle Yuba or-into the galches tributary thereto all the tailings fromits said mining claim and the same will produce great aud irreparable damage to plaintiff. Now the Court by virtue of its power vested in it orders and directs the Sheriff of Nevada eounty to forthwith proceed to the mining ‘olaim of the defendant aforesaid and there and tien cloae down and shut off the wster therefrom and keep the same closed dowa ‘and the water thereof shat off, te the end that the tailings of said mines shall not be suffering to flow in or get into the ebannel of the aforesaid Middle Yuba river—until the further order of this Court, (Signed), S H.
