Dayis of Amador county delivered. an address so able and interesting that we herewith reproduce it in its entirety: Fellow-citizens of San Francisco:—. -The fiftieth anniversary of any event is its golden jubilee. On the 24th of last month we celebrated by a grand pageant in the streets of this city the golden jubilee of the discovery of gold on the Pacific slope. This magnificent mining fair is, I take it, but a-continued celebration of that event; today, set apart by your. committee as “Miners’ Day,” is reserved for an exclusive mining celebration of the wonderful discovery of gold that ultimately gave to the world a new commonwealth, and to the flag of the Union its thirty-first star. ; Today, which, under ordinary circumstances. we would devote exclusively to a celebration of the. birthday of the “Father of His Country;” today, _while our eyes are still moist with sorrow for the brave men of the pride of our navy, and while we are yet patiently waiting to know what it means; today, we celebrate an event that finally gaye to our country its most valued lation. The miner found himself con‘that he had bought his land with his eyes wide open, and with a full knowland taken his.money for it, was bound to make good an “implied guarantee” that the land could be used by the purchaser for the purpose for which it had him. Congress recognized no such claim,and maintained that any relief upon that ground would be class legistinually running against the steel wall edge that the inseparable condition of all ownership of property and of all liberty is the higher law that it must ibe so used as not to injure your neighbor. For years all hope of the revival of hydraulic mining in any form was lost, until the miner coming to recognize the farmer’s rights, sought his co-operation, and the new movement for the rehabilitation of hydraulic mining, under the leadership of one whom we honor today, the Hon. Jaceb H, Neff, erystallized into the California Miners’ Association. What has been accomplished since the birth of that association is well known to you all. Legislative genius discovered a principle beensold. The courts decided against . and largest territorial acquisition. *rough which Congress could be ‘Then, as now, on our eastern sea-board .

With the magnificent returns attained wherever legitimate quartz mining has been attempted in ‘this State, and with the great mining belt of the Sierras waiting to be opened and developed, with the course of its great lodes specifically ascertained and ‘the uncertainty usually incident to mining in great measure eliminated, But with all this development of the processes of both mining and milling, . what development has actually been’ made in the extent of mining itself ? with wood at $4 a cord, with at ‘from 101090 conte miner inch, wt > ely power passing by our front doors, with every appliance of the late}. ita geology definitely known, with . ‘The first few years after the rush of ¢st machinery at thecal] of our tele*49 saw the working out of the richest: Phone, and with a climate that permits and ‘most. accessible placer and erev48 to work in the open air all the year .
