Sooner or later every national government realizes its impotence without a reserve of that yellow metal. It is the sinews of war, the red blood of trade, and the corporeal reality of peace. A notable victory was scored Wednesday by Congressman Harry L. Englebright, of this city and the second California district, when the} Board of U. S.

That masterly marshalling of facts andj figures which he presented in his. apWe regard peal to the Board of Engineers, carried the day. No gold county in the state will reap such a haryest of prosperity as will Nevada County, for the reason that nowhere in the world are there such areas of gold bearing gravel as there are in this. Omitting the historical data with which Congressman Englebright prefaced his address, we have printed in another column the text of his appeal to the board. Referring to i prejudiced statement of the Jackson report concerning lack of data regarding gold contents and areas of the gravel on the Bear, American and Yuba watersheds, in view of all Engilebright “To doubt these values, is; exclaims: just as much ‘a surprise as to doubt . the well known salt contents of thej Atlantic Ocean.” . i The NRA as designed and = applied by the New Dealers ‘is no more.

For every~ independent, standing American who believes sin-. eerely that within certain limits in-; will! finings of of dividual freedom and initiative get this nation further along. the road of civilization than submerg. ence in state socialism possibly can,’ this is good news. While the legal props have been knocked away, it is well to remember that one of the great attributes of the NRA was the moral force, the reaffirmation and of the policy of fair dealing that really mo-' stressing tivated the National Recovery Act. . Among. other things it abolished chil@g labor, so prevalent in the South, and so inhuman and cruel. .It child labor. but the exploitation of labor of any kind. While it did not accomplish it, it was primarily intended, also, to halt the oppression great corporations ‘practiced upon small businesses and industries. We surmise that these moral forces will continue to ferment in the social body. That whatever was of social advantage will be salvaged ot only because of its social value, but because national economy suffers tremendously when social abuses are permitted. For instance, the great majority of the thousands of children employed in southern cotton mills grow up to be _ liabilities which impose direct burdens upon tax payers, in prisons, on poor farms and in insane asylums. A depleted childhood leads to depleted and degenerate manhood and womanhood. No waste of this rich commonwealth has been or is so Shameful as the waste of human materials. OUTDOOR P. T. A.

I am very happy, indeed, to have been able to bring about this victory for the hydraulic mining interests. (Signed): by federal “nized recommended HARRY L. ENGLEBRIGHT. This in part is the statement of H. L. Englebright, before the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors of the U. S. War Department, in appealing from the conclusions of the Jackson Report as rendered by the California. Debris Commission, in the matter hydraulic mining dams on the Bear, American and Yuba rivers. In the closing of the hydraulic mines by the’ Sawyer decision im 1884, the loss to the state and to the nation -has been tremendous. The gold production of the placer mines of California from 1848 to the time of the closing of the hydraulic mines in 1884, was over $1,000,000,900 in gold. In the fall of 1891, a number of citizens of Placer county, one of the counties affected and in the heart of the hydraulic mining industry,called a convention to ascertain whether anything could be done to revive the hydraulic mining indus. . try. I would like to at this point impress upon the Board that this convention; was called, for the purpose of rehabilitating hydraulic mining. At this convention a plan was formulated to call a state convention and to memorialize Congress for needed legislation. The state convention was later called in San Francisco and representatives of both farming and hydraulic, mining interests attended. A.common plan was agreed upon, interests realizing that they were dependent one upon the other. The basis of this agreement was the . report of a federal commission which . had been created by special act of . Congress upon the suggestion of the California legislature. It was shown by this report, that is the report of the commission ecreat. }ed by the special act of Congress, ; that dams and other restraining works could be erected in the streams for the restraining of debris from the hydraulic mining operations. STATE.
