BILL PASSES BY STATE SENATE State Senatcr Se Jorcoid Seaweli, representing this district in the state legislature, had the satisfaction Tuesday of seeing his bill, which would help to rehabilitate’ the hydraulic mining industry along the Mother Lode, pass the senate unanjimously. : The Seawell bill, known as S. B. No. 480, provides that hydraulic mining districts may be formed and authorizes by bond issue voted by tax payers in the district, the ereé-. tion of retaining dams for tailings It gives directors of the district the power to enter upon any land and make surveys, locate the necessary works and the lines for canals, and the necessary branches for the same on any land that may be best for such location; lay out the necessary canals or other means of .conducting tailings to storage basins or reservoirs and to lay out such storage basins. or reservoirs. i The bill safeguards in every par, ticular the agricultural interests of’ the farming communities in the SacTamento valley, whose only objection to hydraulic mining was that under the old methods, the tailings, gravel and silt were washed into the rivers and silted up the stream to such an extent that levees had to be constantly raised and in wet seasons disasterous floods occured.
