mento Valley residents in a recent
stream pollution case which affected
hydraulic miners. Prominent mining
men present assured the valley people they are ready to co-operate with
the farmers in solving the debris
problem. Judge George L. Jones of
Nevada City assured the visitors the
miners were not derirous of resuming hydraulic operations if it was
‘injurious to farming. é
Pee oe Hendricks of the EmpireStar mines, declared if legislation
imposed new taxes on mining it
would injure mining and tighten the
profit structure. J. H. Field, insurance representative of the IdahoMaryland, in his talk stated the burden of workmen’s compensation insurance prevents capital from going’
into mining.
The purpose of the meeting was
to acquaint the Sacramento people
with the operations of the mining
industry and jt is. felt much good

TREASURE ISLAND
REGISTERED BIG
MONEY TOTAL
In many ways a World’s Fair’ is
like a huge theatrical production.
From the front of the great stage it
all looks like a big Show interesting,
colorful, glamorous, But backstage a
lot is going on, undetected by the
public but of absorbing interest
nevertheless.
Treasure Island in San Francisco
bay is now populated only by a few
guards and small groups of workers
removing and gathering together
odds and ends of intriguing facts
concerning their part in the great
show which was the Goldeh Gate
International Exposition of 1939.
For example, something has now
been learned of the great tides of
money kept flowing by the millions
of visitors over the counters of the
branch of Bank of America maintained on the island,
This branch cashed 260,000 checks
during the 254 days the fair was
per day, including Sundays and holidays! Yet with all this huge volume,
‘only about $150 was lost on bad
checks, and it is expected that most
of this ultimately will be recovered.
This and other information was
released today by Russell G. Smith,
executive vice president of ‘Bank of
America, who pointed out that. while
this accommodation to the public was
without profit to the bank it was a
service cheerfully rendered, as the
branch was operated as a convenience
for the bank’s 2,225,000 neponiiare
as well as an exhibit.

The Naval Affairs Committee recently asked why important work on
warships was not proceeding as
scheduled. Acting Secretary of -the
Navy Charles Bdison reported that
becaiuse of the strike against the
Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation, the navy has been refused permission to remove patterns belonging
to it. The navy inspector, it appeared, had pleaded with the CIO strike
director for permission to take the
government patterns and _ castings
from the plant, but had been emphatically refused. And because the navy,
apparently, won’t go through one of
Madame Perkins’ picket lines, ‘‘no
further action was taken.”
So the United States navy bows to
the same superior force that has intimidated other federal departments
and several governors—and. John L,
Lewis is the boss of the United States.
As a prophet, the President stands
alone. Horror-stricken, he cried oui,
on iMarch 2, 1930: “if we do not halt
this steady process of building up
commissions and rggulatory bodies
and special legislation, like huge inverted pyramids over. every. one of
the simple constitutional provisions,
we shall soon be spending billions of
dollars more.’’ The budget then was
3 1-2 billions of dollars. This year it
is over 9 billions.

In April, an executive order went
to Congress, decreeing reorganization “‘to reduce expenditures to the

and citing economy as a primary purpose. The payroll then amounted to
$133,425,000 a month. By September, it had risen to $141,629,000—
