The only antagonism to the construction of impounding dams by the Government has emanated from the Anti-Debris Associa~ tion. . And. these.men. are certainly © the most diminutive authorities on the subject in California at this time, while being the most obstreperous in their opposition to it. Ie-would be impossible within the limited scope of a single newspaper article to re-' view the numerous schemes which have been proposed: by various. authorities looking to a solution of this important question, and J shall confine myself to a criticism of the most recently advanced project, Revent dispatches from Washington state that ex-State Senator William Johnson of Sactamento, who is now in Washington in.the interest.of the rivers and harbors of the debris from the mines may be properly and safely impounded and the protracted feud “betwéen ‘the two sections amicably settled. The scheme is outlined by him as follows: To condemn several thousand acres of cheap land in some such place as the American river basin in which to impound the debris, which shall be conducted from the imines to the basin by means of pipes. This plan of Mr. Johnston’s is not a new ong by any means, but. rather the‘re-introimpounding of the debris from the mines and its conveyance through pipes to its Aestination. Some ti ‘ago A, H, Rose, exState Oomrhiasi ot Public Works, appeared before the executive committee ‘of the State Miners” Assuciation and advocated a plan which was more elaborate and would be more effective if adopted than the one advanced by Mr, Johnston. To facilitate this.controversy and to make . this ‘Mr, M ‘Mr. cin .biibe eonrts decided it {American river'basin. ‘That basin is on the east side of the Sacramento river between. matter more explicit. to your readers, I submitthe elucidation of Rose’s _plan from ipa coe a Rose, the Commissioner of Public Works, reported that for $1,689,749 dams; canals, embarkments, etc,, could be built on é the Yubs, Bear and Sacramento rivers to carty the . sbris from these streams to the the American on the f the Sacramento ' Contles, or 170,500 acres. _ The basin would] . hold 1, 703,780,000 .cubio ards of mattce} when filled to a depth of fifteen feet, which would be its capavity. This, Mr. Rose, said -be taken from the mines in that region for could thereby be run without.the construe‘tion of individual impounding works, His necessary appropriation it would be doing justice to the miners to whom the Goverment had sold lands with the implied understanding that they would be allowed to work them, and at the same time would fully protect the people of the villages, If not, the State could: form a reclamation district, condemn the necesary lands and perform the work, The dam would be located ‘at Daguerre Point, ten miles above. Maryaville, and such & dam has already been ‘ecommendédeto Congess by the Debris Commission, Its objéct would be to retain thé heavier matter, while the lighter’ would be carried by the canals to the great basin betion.” : The great advantage of the Rose scheme over the Johnston’ project nat be apparent +o every. impartial and: intelligent® mind. Not that the Johnston plan is not within the, reach of practicability but because when the estimates had been prepared. and prothe expense would be found to be so great as to compel the Government toshrink from such an enormous undertaking.

Following is the ‘official ‘report’ of the proceedings in question: * ‘ Mr: : Johnson aid: ‘Mri Cheirman and Gentlemen of the Committee, I merely want to answer a question Mr. McCullough asked by reading a report of the United States engineers, being appendix Y Y. ‘Among the recommendations in these Gres Fhe onan ‘ ” reports is a restraiting barrier in the Yuba river at Deguerre Point, the object of which is the retention above it @ mass of stones, gravel and sand, produced by mining in past. years Which)nisroving down tee stream Re dt ae a large” extent’ reaches nayigable waters.”’, _, ig “3 The appropriation asked for now, $250,000, is not to assist; in. mining.

I want to say there will mittee when they arrive, knowing that they give them a reasonable length of time for a tion ‘of 2 Complicated Problem, cuséed in recent years as. to leave no room o€ California’ relative to the manner in ‘which it'shotld’ be adjudicated, Not only have the representatives of the miners outlined a course which if. followed: would lead to a satisfactory ,and amicable adjustment of this question, bat they have been ably supported in their aims and objects by 4 board of eminent engineera appointed: by the Government to ‘investigate and report on the feasibility and practicability of the résamption’ of hydraulic mining, I remark ‘hat the Government’ Board of Engincers have pursued the course ‘mapped ont by the miners because prior to their appdintment by the Biggs’ act the following quéstion was propounded to twenty-four of the most eminent engineers in thig State; © ‘Sir—In your opinion as a civil engineer is “it, practicable.to permanently impouud Miting or other dgbris in the mining rivers and “va)leys of the west slope of the Sierras?” of.incontrovertible authorities. were “ananimously in the affirmative, and they stand go. record today as sanctioning the feasibility and practicability of impounding dams, Therefore your readers will perceive that when the Biggs’ Commission was appointed and when they assumed. their duties in this State, their course of action; mous action of the miners, And their confidence in the practicability and ultimate triumph of impounding dams has been repeatedly shown by the consistency of their actions and by the annual reports which: they have submitted to the Government. The only antagonism to the construction of impounding dams by the Government has emanated from the Anti-Debris Associa~ tion. .. And. these.men. are certainly © the most diminutive authorities on the subject in California at this time, while being the most obstreperous in their opposition to it. Ie-would be impossible within the limited scope of a single newspaper article to re-' view the numerous schemes which have been proposed: by various. authorities looking to a solution of this important question, and J shall confine myself to a criticism of the most recently advanced project, Revent dispatches from Washington state that ex-State Senator William Johnson of Sactamento, who is now in Washington in.the interest.of the rivers and harbors of the debris from the mines may be properly and safely impounded and the protracted feud “betwéen ‘the two sections amicably settled. The scheme is outlined by him as follows: To condemn several thousand acres of cheap land in some such place as the American river basin in which to impound the debris, which shall be conducted from the imines to the basin by means of pipes. This plan of Mr. Johnston’s is not a new ong by any means, but. rather the‘re-introimpounding of the debris from the mines and its conveyance through pipes to its Aestination. Some ti ‘ago A, H, Rose, exState Oomrhiasi ot Public Works, appeared before the executive committee ‘of the State Miners” Assuciation and advocated a plan which was more elaborate and would be more effective if adopted than the one advanced by Mr, Johnston. To facilitate this.controversy and to make . this ‘Mr, M ‘Mr. cin .biibe eonrts decided it {American river'basin. ‘That basin is on the east side of the Sacramento river between. matter more explicit. to your readers, I submitthe elucidation of Rose’s _plan from ipa coe a Rose, the Commissioner of Public Works, reported that for $1,689,749 dams; canals, embarkments, etc,, could be built on é the Yubs, Bear and Sacramento rivers to carty the . sbris from these streams to the the American on the f the Sacramento ' Contles, or 170,500 acres. _ The basin would] . hold 1, 703,780,000 .cubio ards of mattce} when filled to a depth of fifteen feet, which would be its capavity. This, Mr. Rose, said -be taken from the mines in that region for could thereby be run without.the construe‘tion of individual impounding works, His necessary appropriation it would be doing justice to the miners to whom the Goverment had sold lands with the implied understanding that they would be allowed to work them, and at the same time would fully protect the people of the villages, If not, the State could: form a reclamation district, condemn the necesary lands and perform the work, The dam would be located ‘at Daguerre Point, ten miles above. Maryaville, and such & dam has already been ‘ecommendédeto Congess by the Debris Commission, Its objéct would be to retain thé heavier matter, while the lighter’ would be carried by the canals to the great basin betion.” : The great advantage of the Rose scheme over the Johnston’ project nat be apparent +o every. impartial and: intelligent® mind. Not that the Johnston plan is not within the, reach of practicability but because when the estimates had been prepared. and prothe expense would be found to be so great as to compel the Government toshrink from such an enormous undertaking.
