You will remember that Mr, Craddock visited the dam of the Excelsior Company, week before last. Evans, This visit was the result-of the-pressure of public ©pinion_in the anti-debris sections, M«. Craddock’ inspected the dam ininutely, and expressed surpitise to the Superintendent that the works had proved so effective, and subsequently admitted in his statement to the Appeal.that “the dam had re. Strained a large amount of debris.” ‘I's have said the dam was doing its work thoroughly and holding back the entire discharge from the dumps would approach too near: the facts to meet with faver at the hands of his anti-debris . constituents, You are aware that this official visit was immediately followed by the service of papers upon the Superintendent for contempt of Court. Rep.—Is it your opinion that a case of contempt can be made out against the company? Mr. E.—I don’t see how it. is possible, aud any person visiting the’ dim and seeing what it has accomplished, must hold to the saine view.

' Why, -I-can-cite your readers to no better illustration thau the debris dams between your eity aud Grass Valley, upon whose aceumulatious of detritus the -finest vegetables that come into your market are now raised. Your people are ail familiar with these dams, and how effectually the debris was held back by them. ‘lhe dam of the Excelsior Company, though on a scale mach larger, is accomplishing the object for which it was built as precisely as did thoae dams. Thedam is now about eight feet high and 400 The debris above the dim has lodged almost its eatire length to the depth of six feet and extends back half way to the dumps. ‘The dam is being constantly raised as fast as it fills in. ;Tho dam ean. not give way, constructed as it is with brash upon each layer of which: is thrown a ballast of heavy bouldevs. The dam is nothing less than a water filter on a grand scale, ane there is every conceivable diffe:ence iu the water that passes through it and that above. The dam can be extended to a length of 2,00) feet. Rep.--Your people, Mr. Evans, have always repelled the idea that they wish to close down the mines; that if the mivers would impound their debris the peuple of the Valley have no further war to make upon the mining industry. How, then, do you reconcile the’recent action of Judge Keyser. in issuing the writ against the Kxevlsior Company for contempt, and these oft ropuated professions of the auti-debrig people and their attorneys ?
