Just as'soon as the skunks, who compose the Anti-Debris organization, find out that theye is a chance for the hydraulickers to go ahead they employ such fellows as Bob Devlin te find some obstacle to throw in their way. They believe if they ean knock out the Eureka Lake and the Omega companies that other hydraulickers seeing the amount of trouble they are put to will abandon even the hope of resuming: The following is self-explanatory : EUREKA LAKE PETITION, San Francisco, Sept. 1, 1893. Mr. Robert T. Devlin, Attorney-at— Law, Anti-Debris Asseciation. Dear Sir: Having been called upon by you te make certait examinations of a technical’ character of’the petition of the Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company Consolidated, to eperate certain miming land in Nevada county, Cal., hydraulically, we beg leave to submit the following report: : The petitioners propose to wash 5.25 acres of'placer mining land situated at Coldmbia Hill. a The hight-of the bank, it is claimed, ranges from:35 to 48 feet, with au average of 40 feet from bedretk to surface, with a covering of five to six feet of loam, and a mixture of sand and free gravel thence to bedrock, with little or no pipe clay. _ The gravel is very fine and well washed. The outlet or drainage of said land is inte the South Yuba River, a distance of about fourteen miles, “It is proposed to use 400 24-hour miners’ inches of water under 75 foot pressure. The amount of material-to be ‘handleit is placed at 370 cubic yards: of gravel in each twenty-four hours, or 154 cubie yards per hour: _A\s an impounding reservoit it is proposed to use an old hydraulic pit, formed by the long. Into this basin tailings have hereto— fore been dumped. As the filling continued the dam was extended along a point of. unworked ground. ' The present water area is 25.9 acred with water of 153 acres— the area of the old diggings. The water spreads over this area ‘in a thin sheet, being thirteen inches deep ‘at the water ways, and extending southeasterly 1,600 feet. ’ It is claimed that there is probably not ovor 500 twenty-four—hour-—inches—of-water at any time in the reserveir. .The sides of the settling basin. are borextends to the high bedrock, a distance of 350 to 800 feet, the gravel lying on a grade of six feet in 100 feet horizontal. Whe dam across Lewis’ cut was built of . , logs! 30 to 40 feet long, forming a cribbing within which the tops of the trees were laid and well packed “with earth and ground. The dam at Lewis’. cut shows a perpendicular wall of timber 10 feet high. The dam was extended along a ledge of unworked ground, 277 feet,making a total length of dam of 337 feet. Along this ridge @ gravel wall was built with brush placed on the outer toe, two to three feet thick, the levee being also extended over the : tiniber dam, Along the water litie on the inner slope pine boughs were placed, to resist the action of any waves that might arise. A cross-section of the timber dam shows ‘the levee to be 2.8 feet wide on top,» 22 2.3 above the deposited sediment, and nine feet thigk at the water-line. The wasteway is built of plank eight feet wide, 3.8 feet high at the water edge, 3:6 feet long, and four feet wide at the discharge, and extending 24 feet from the dam. Within an area of 5.25 acres, and estimating the average depth at 25 feet, will give 211,948 cubic yards to be washed. It is assumed that 25 percent. of the bank will be slickens and with that assumption te he covered 1.30 feet deep: There is no stream or natural water in said pit-other than the rainfall on the surface, and there is no water te carry off the debris when the water is shut off at the head of the supply~pipe. All debris when deposited in the settling pool will be permanently at rest when the water is drawn off from the reservoir; ‘‘An ample waste weir is the safety of a reservoir embankment.” “The outside slope of an earth . embank -‘ ment is the weakest part, and if a flood overteps the embankment and reaches the outer slope it will be cut away like a bank of Snow before a jet of steam.” Acting upon these words of sound advice: we begin examining the waste weir question . }in reference to the proposed settling basin for hydraulic mining detritus, and find: ‘That there isa discrépancy between the drawings accompanying the petition and the text of the petition itself. The drawing shows two waste-ways, while only one is mentioned in the petition, ‘ Neither are there any provisions mad to prevent the water from undermining or washing out the waste weir, nor for raising the outfall proportionately as the reservoir fills with debris. And again, the waste weir, as proposed, lacks the required width to provide for the simultaneous discharge of flume and storm waters at low depth, on overfall, Although the sections A, B and C D shown on the maps were taken in the angles ef the proposed levee, and for this reason A of Tartar Powder.

The perishable character of wood and brush, largely employed in the construction of the old barrier, does not insure . permanency of the structure, and it is an objec— tionable feature to use the old dain so constructed as a foundation for the tiew.
