@ 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.

gold, and much of it is worth $1 an

and lived and died ina heuse which
was only five feet wide. It was built
because the
owners refused to meet his terms for

fabulous sums for his little piece of
ground. His greatest aversion _ was
