LOOD u can made ) urant @ Goversment: ‘fas Full Power to > Regulate Hydraulic Mining on California Rivers. hydraulic mining, = The Suit was brought by the Government to the defendant, & cOrporation owning ground and operating mines on the Yuba river, from using the hydraulic process and. discharging -dump into the tributaries of the Sacramento and San Joaquin river system. The defendants admitted the fact that about'60 per cent. of their dump found its way into the river. But they alleged that the larger and heavier portions of the refuse were caught by impounding dams and basins, and that the proportion’ of refuse which’ éscaped into the river was composed of very light, flocculent material, which was moved by the slightest current, and which never lodged near river or bay shore, but was carried out to sea, away from the coast. Judge Ross decided that Congress had .absolute power to regulate hydraulic mining. ‘he fact—admitting it to be a fact—that the actual dump of the North Bloomfield }Company’s mine formed no. perceptible accretion in the Sacramento river system, was not material to the case. The com‘bined or added refuse of.a number of mines would interfere with the navigability of the rivers. The plain terms of the. Caminetti act forbade any hydraulic mining whatsoever until the mine owners had filed a petition with the Debris Commission created by the act of Congress and had obtained the certificate of. the} Commission to the effect that the’ operation of the particular mine would aes the navigability of the Sac; Joaquin river wis tems. The moet. important Sleavanle of Judge Ross’ decision is as follows: “From these provisions (and there is nothing in the Act tothe contrary) it seems quite clear to me that its reaf intent and meaning is to prohibit. and make unlawful any and all hydraulic mining in the territory drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin river sys-tems in the State of California, directly. -or indirectly injuring the navigability vof the said river systems, or Ba land adjacent thereto. “That in order to Aebasolca the facts ‘upon which the legislative will is to, act, a skilled commission is created »whose duty it is to ascertain and de‘termine what will or will not cause tthe prohibited injury, and to prescribé ‘the character of impounding works, wand the extent tv which hydraulic mining in the territory heretofdre desecibed may, be carried on without causing such injury. To give. effect to this manifest purpose, Congress, in effect, enacted that until ‘the commission should find that such mining can ‘be carried on without causing the prohibited imjury, all hydraulic mining within the territory drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems is nnlawful; for by Section 9 it is in terms declared that any,-person or corporation owning mining: ground in’ that territory ‘which it is desired to work by the hydraulic process, must file-with the saidcommission a verified petition setting forth such facts as will comply with the law and the rules pre_ scribed by said commission.’ ” Judgment for complainants, und a perpetual injunction granted, until the defendants shall file a verified petition and receive the certificate of the commission as above. ooo Runaway Accident. -<his morning while L.
