The following is a copy of a circular letter just sent out to prominefit citigens by Mamager Phipps of the State Anti-Debris Association: Marysvite, Cal., Jan. 10, 1899. Dear Siz: The State Anti-Debris Association in performance of its duties to the valley, bas, since: the Caminetti law permitting dams to be built went into effect, carried on its usual work of efideayoring to watch and keep in restraint. such hydraulic mining as was from time to time attempting to work . without a permit provided for by that law, and also to watch the mines that have permits and see that they do not violate or exceed their authority. It has also in many instances . protested, orally and in writing, against permits being granted to certain mines; bas reported to the California Debris Commission frequent violations of such permits, breaking of dams, etc., and has sought by protest and arguments to have the California Debris-Commission adopt its views as to the general insecurity of these debris dams. It bas been our hope that we would ultimately bring the California Debris ~€ommission to our standpoint in looking at this question, and thereby avoid open breach with the commission. The commission has . permitted a great many large mines to operate behind dams which we deem absohately unfit for the purpose of permanent and effectual restraint of debris, and in many instances of even temporary restraint. Many of these dams hare already gone to pieces. Atits December meeting our association decided to attack these dams and the commission, through . the courts, and selected the Kate Hayes dams of Sweetland and the large log dam in the Greenhorn creek as the first ones to be made a test of. “We have always considered the valley land owners as parties vitally interested in these dams, and hence that we had the right to make observations, surveys, etc., of such work at any time. On the 29th of December I accompanied engineering experts to make surveys and get photographs of the Sweetland dams and works, and met with an absolute refusal from the company of the right to make surveys and photographs after we had gotten on the ground. Through our attorney we appealed to the California Debris Commission to give us this permit, being assured that the company would respect such av order. The commission refused the permit. Hence, we take it, that the * commission will testify_against us in *the court on the feasibility of these dams. . Our association will at its next meeting, January 17th, be called upon to say whether we should fight this com‘mission and the miners on this ques-. ~ tion, in court; and as this is a very important question, we wish you to give it.y our consideration and tender us your advice, and, if you have any suggestions or objections, to make them. We do this to save calling a general meeting of the property owners. The criminal provisions of the Cami} netti law have been a great deal of help to us, but in order to beat the commission as to their judgment on these dams it may be necessary to attack the constitutionality of that law. We take the view that this is a good law if fairly and honestly executed, but that it is necessary to control the judgment _of that commission if possible. We should be pleased to see you at the meeting of our association, held as aforesaid, at the Supervisors’ room in the city of Sacramento. Most respectfully yours. W. T. Purpps, Manager State Anti-Debris Association. a She Remembered. A little six-year-old girl in Sunday. “school was asked one morning wha: she remembered of the story of Sampson, and the Philistines, says anu exchange, whereupon she promptly replied: “He sailed into the bay a night and at daylight opened fire on them and sank eleven of their warships with the jawbone of anass. He then took some prisoners who had mever seen a razor, bombarded the town and took up five baskets of fragments. He then told them that he would set his bow on the bay so whenever they saw it they would remember the Maine.” Eis Sccpbetsicibogmeis ae The ‘Vietor Mines’? incorporated.
