T. A. on children’s infectious diseases. The P. T. A. in presenting Dr. Empey believes that it is offering a real service to the citizens of Nevada City.

Wood and co-workers have been persistent in their efforts and now it looks as though they will be successful. The line to the Boss mine in the past was not permanent, but it is so now.

Vice President Paul Downing, Attor. ney Thos. J. Straub, Col. George Hunt, Herbert Cooper and Dan Stewart. The two prime movers in obtain-. ing the consent of the Chamber of Commerce to eall the meeting were Frank Crampton and Judge George Jones. It was through their efforts brace the construction of dams on Greenhorn and Steephollow creeks, just above their junctions with. the 3ear river and the construction of a . possible third dam below the junetion of these streams with the Bear. If necessary small settling basins could be constgucted above these dams. In order to deliver clear water to . the valley municipalities water could subject. spring that the chamber became interested and hopeful of good results that! might flow from offering a basis for . the litigants to discuss a peaceful settlement. President Cassidy called the meetorder and requested Judge be by-passed either through the Boardman or another ditch, which of necessity might have to be con. structed for that purpose. This would assure valley communities of clear water for domestic purposes f : The dams would provide basins for outline his ee: the . sufficient settlement of slickens so . i that water for irrigation would not contaminated. ing to Jones to ideas Judge Jones said that issue involvyed in the suit brought by the Pacific Gas & Electric company against Rear river placer miners -was greater than either the placer miners interests on Bear river of the Pacific Gas and Electric company. He stated that it involved the future of placer mining in California asked that thoughtful cons{deration given to any plan by which this matter might be amicably settled out of court. He stated that whether the Crampton. : us * f ne plan were adopted or some other.

Judge suggested that} Paul Downing, president of Frank Crampton submit a plan which . .the Pacific Gas & Electric company, he had drafted, looking toward a/. called upon by President Cassidy, in. an informal statement of his company’s attitude gave a brief resume of the complaint filed in the case and concluded by stating the P. G. & E. was willing to discuss the issue involved. in a friendly spirit with the placer miners. On motion of Mr. Downing a chairman of the meeting of litigants was. chosen, Frank Crampton being nominated and elected. Shortly there after a committee of three consisting of Col. George Hunt, Frank Scott and M. A. Griswold was appointed to draft a plan, using the Crampton plan as a_ possible .basis. The date for the next meeting of the litigants was set for May 15 in the Pacific Gas & Blectric headquarters in Sacramento.

This association has approximately 300 members. It produces and markets all grades of mashes such as poultry and dairy be unduly In .as much as the federal loans require a self liquidating feature this is assured ‘by the payment of three cents a cubic yard for all the gravel hydrauliced, this sum being now paid to the Nevada Irrigation District for such storage. But if the dams were erected this three cents would be diverted to the liquidation of the bonds issued for the construction of the dams. It was estivice peaceful settlement. Mr. Crampton’s plan was prefaced by the statement that although only three active hydraulic mining operations, were at present involved in the half million dollar law suit, namely, Liberty Hill, You Bet and Remington Hill, the matter went considerably further and jeepardized future operations of other gravel properties on the Bear river watershed. While holding no brief for the P. G. & E., Mr. Crampton felt that the best interests of all concerned would be a friedly solution of the matter, which would settle the present difficulty, as well as, to prevent a repetition of such controversies in: the future. CHINESE SENTENCED FOR SELLING NARCOTIC Ling Hui, owner of the Sing Lee laundry, fined $500 or sentenced to 250 days in the county jail by Justice of the Peace Mobley Wednesday, has begun to serve his jail sentence.
