The Senate Gommittee on Mines ahd
.
Mining Discuss the Debris.
Bilts.
The following from the Sacramento
Bee of Wednesday evening is good
reading. While reading it, just~remember that the Bee is a rabid antimining organ and make allowance for
its prejudices against'the miners and
their friends : zy
The Senate Committee on Mines
and Mining held a very stormy meeting just after the adjournment of the
Senate Tuesday afternoon, and there
might have-been-a-much-livelier—itemthan this but for the fact that a large
number of the committee are lawyers.
Senate bill 101, making the depositing
of debris in navigable streams and
their tributaries a felony, waa under
discussion. As the Bee reporter~entered the room Walrath; who appeared a trifie excited, declared that he
wanted the bill referredwith the re-.
commendation that it do not pass.
Clunie suavely explained that he
thought the penalty too severe, and
was anxious toamend so as to make
the offense a misdemeanor only.
Walrath incautiously declared that
he would--yote against any such
amendment. He preferred the bill to
be returned as it.was.
Clunie—“ You want to make the bill
so outrageous in its features that no
one will vote for it.” 7
Walrath (warmly )--‘‘Certainly. That
is exactly what I-want.”’
Walrath then, in explanation of this
queer statement on the part of a committee-man exercising judicial functions, declared that the bill was a vicious one—that it was
THE WORK OF A VICIOUS BODY.
Clunie excepted to the statement.
Walrath had no right to declare that
any body to which Senator Chandler
belonged was vicious.
Walrath stated that he meant the
United States Senate.Chandler—(who looked mad)—‘‘Do
you mean to call the United States
Senate a vicious body ?”’
Appearent peace being restored
Clunie went on to move an amendment to Section 1, changing the word
‘“felony’’ to ‘‘misdemeanor.”’ He said
that this hydraulic mining is all wrong.
The Courts have all so decided and
the United States Government has so
declared. .The destruction of valuable streams must be stopped. Still
he thought the penalty proposed too
severe, hence his amendment. He
desired the bill to be in such shape
that he could vote for it conscientiously. He was anxious to expedite—not
impede—legislation. :
Caminetti,; interrupting, wanted to
know what was the good of the bill
anyway. Itdid not confer any new
powers on the Courts and they could
not execute the penalties for contempt
now. How was that?
Clunie appeared to regard the excitable Caminetti with no friendly eye
and was disposed to answer him very
gruffly, but his pride as a lawyer finally overcame his feeling as a statesman
entrusted with the making of just laws,
and he said with a genial grin:
THE MYSTERIOUS PADDY CAMPBELL.
“Well, there is Paddy Campbell. He
was fined $500 for contempt in disobeying aninjunction. You know (and
here Clunie laughed softly) they had
to hunt for Paddy a yearand a half be
fore they could find him, and he was
well-known, too. You see, I was his
attorney. After they got him we kept
them running as long as possible for a
decision, by suing out writs of habeas
corpus.”’
Clunie’s restoration to good humor
seemed to give Walrath new grounds
for dissatisfaction and he demanded
that the committee consider his bill,
Senate bill No. 51, providing for the
erection of dams for the accommodation of the hydraulic miners.
Clunie objected to being shut off in
that manner, and Walrath wanted to
know what right Senate bill No. 101
had to be considered ahead of his bill,
which was being considered a week
ago. . :
Clunie—“‘But I talked on Senate
bill-Ne:-101, and how did your bill get
in ahead of it?” _
Walrath.only -glared in reply, and
McCarty, of San Francisco, seized the
opportunity to second Clunie’s amendment.
Caminétti now tossed his hat into
the ring and declgred-: “We would
rather have it punished as a felony,
for then we -would be called before
judges who understand: this subject
and not before a
ONE-HORSE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.”’
Walrath (approvingly )}—‘‘That’s it!
That’s it!’’
Chandler stated that the measure
was aimed most at Chinamen who are
running mines 200 strong at Dutch
Flat, and who can’t be reached under
the present law. Chandler objected
to being called a crank as he had been . ..
yesterday. He was simply endeavoring to save himself from being covered, head and ears, with slickens.
Conklin understood that the interests of the State demand that the debrisshould not be turned into the
streams and that -the waterways
should be protected from injury, Mining isa great industry, and he believ-ed it might possibly be continued under the Walrath dam bill, but the valTeys and rivers must be preserved at
all hazards.
A vote was then taken on Clunie’s
amendment reducing the offense to a
misdemeanor, and it was lost by the
following vote : ; :
For—Chandler, Clunie, McCarty—3.
Against—Caminetti, Conklin,
Goucher, Walrath—4.
Conklin’s vote, coming right ‘after
his remarks, geemed to paralyze CluWalrath jumped up and moved that
the bill be reported back to the Senate with an unfavorable.recommendation. Seconded by Caminetti.
Clunie having recovered his voice
DENOUNCED THIS AS AN OUTRAGE,
An attempt to take snap judgment,
when they knew. he had amendments
to offer.
Walrath—‘‘What’s the use?
vote is four to three.”
Clunie—‘‘Possibly I can show Senator Conklin that his judgment in the
matteris wrong.”’
Chandler.also denounced, the motion as an outrage and it was finally
Conklin, to cast oil on the troubled
waters, tried to explain that_he voted
“no” because the mining men declared thatthey would rather have it a
felony so that all cases would come
before acompetent court.
Clunie (insinuatingly)—‘‘Well, you
know they did not mean it.”
Caminetti (excitedly)—“You have:
noright'to say that of me!”’
Clunie (warming up)—“Well, I do
say it.’
Caminetti (rising) —“I have declared that your statement is not true.”
Clunie (doggedly)—“‘Well, I know
itis so all the same.” ? ay
Goucher, the Chairman,.who had

feeling, declared at this stage that Clunie’s conduct was intolerable and. he

Committee.
Clunie—‘‘All right then.
it."
I'll think
‘HAVING RELIEVED HIS MIND
To his own satisfaction, Clunie rapidly cooled down and proceeded to state
his amendments to the second section,
but spent considerable time in the
evident effort to convince Conklin that
he was in error-in his previous vote.
Caminetti interrupted, saying, ‘Oh,
that’s all settled.” :
Clunie (hotly)—‘‘I. won’t be interrupted by the Senator, and I won’t be
told by him what I’ve got to do.”
Goucher managed to obtain order,
and the Senators glared at each other
across the table.
Clunie had hardly got well ‘started
again before Caminetti in a loud whisper aside to Conklin, made some remark concerning his statements.
The enraged Clunie shook his finger
across the table and said:
“T don’t want to be. interrupted
again.”
Caminetti, who was pale with anger, retorted:
“T was not talking to you, sir.’”’
Clunie—‘‘You were talking at. me,
and I won’t have it.’’
Clunie’s amendment -to Section 2
was at length got before the Committee. :
It restricted the fine to $1,000 and imprisonment to six months, and the
author declared, would keep the cases
out of the Justice’s Court. This was
to meet Conklin’s objections. A vote
was then taken. Conklin made an
elaborate explanation of his vote, but,
as before, his words were for the farmers and his vote for the miners. The
amendment was lost by the regulation
vote—3 to 4,
Walrath then renewed his motion
to report the bill with a recommenda.
tion that it do not pass, and, after another explanation by Conklin, it) was
carried 4 to 3. Clunie gave notice of
a minority report.
Adjourned.
IN FAVOR OF DAMS,
Mining met again at 10 a. mu. Wednesday and decided to report favorably 8.
B. 51 in favor of dams. The meeting
was a much more peaceful one than
that of the previous afternoon.
A MINORITY REPORT.
Chandler, Clunie and McCarthy
of the committee made a minority report on Chandler’s bill to prevent injury to navigable streams, recommending that it be amended as Mr. Clunie
suggested at the above described meeting.

An Open Letter to the Honorable Representatives ot the Mining Counties of California in Legislature Assembled.
GENTLEMEN: I respectfully suggest
that you assemble in caucus, irrespective of party affiliations or prejudices,
as representatives of counties in California where gold mining is now ‘carried on, and seriously discuss the ways
and means of dividing, the State of
California and making said mining
counties a separate State.
Having followed the business of
mining for thirty-six years past in this
State; having thoroughly understood
and -felt-all the harrassing legislation
attempted ; ail the judgments, decrees
and injunctions of Courts finally culminating in the ruin of most of what
little property I have made, _in-common with huridreds ef others similarly
situated, Tappeal to you to at. once
ing counties in a separate State, with
. whatever name may be considered appropriate.
It is quite unnecessary to recall the
history‘of gold mining in California,
the-failure by either State or Congress
to pass any law for years upon the
subject, or to recite United States
laws now existing, fully recognizing
ithe laws made by the early miners
from the very necessities in which
they were placed. Nor will it avail
anything to show that $800,000,000 or
more-has been taken from the gold
mines of California in the past thirtyseven years and added to the: wealth
of the world; that the supply is not
yet exhausted, but can be kept at $12,000,000. to-$20,000,000 per annum for
years tocome. It was enough to call
our business, producing results that
astonished the world, a ‘‘nuisance,”’
then apply the law appertaining to
nuisances, and we are crushed. But
our misfortunes are not to end here.
An Act is now pending before your
bodies known as Assembly Bill No.
°-146, introduced by Mr. Ohleyer and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, which seeks to make mining a
felony—miners, felons and. outcasts.
By its terms the washing of a pan of
dirt by ‘‘water in motion” (and you
can’t wash it any other way) in -any
ravine or gulch is a felony, and subjects a miner to a fine of not less than
$100 nor more than $1,000, or by imprisonment in the State Prison for one
year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
This sort of legislation originates in
what we call the farming counties. It
shows a hostility to the mining section
of the State, brutal in its instincts and
more than savage in its operations.
It is easy for miners to see the drift
of this sort of legislation. Our mining
property virtually confiscated by the
“debris decision,’’ the next move is to
confiscate our ditches by rendering
them of no value, and perhaps secure
them for irrigating purposes. by some
scheme not yet fully developed. If it
is to be made a felony to-sell water to
mine with or to allow a man to ‘‘use’”’
water to mine with, then amend the
bill and make it a_like felony for the
merchant to sell a pick or a shovel tg
be used in mining, or to supply a miner or his family with flour or anything to eat.
If this sort of legislation indicates
the feeling that exists in the. valleys
The Senate Committee on Mines and \ #gainst us, then sirs, the time has
come to divide the State. Draw a line
from Siskiyou to San Diego, follow the
foothills, and let these gentlemen farmers keep their valleys and cities. Give
them the State Capitol_and all the
State buildings wherever located. We
will begin anew. We can_ perhaps
unite our destiny with Nevada, At
any rate, the time has come when the
malignity evidenced by this bill is too
grievous to be borne.
There comes a time in the history of
nations and individuals when might
triumphs over right; when justice is
overthrown among people and States;
when the struggles of the suffering minority are useless, and there is nothing left, apparently, but despair.
Then comes another time, when an
agency interferes in the affairs of-men
and of nations, over which might and
power and majorities have no influence. ;
And if it shall so happen that He
who-sends the rain upon the just farmers and upon the unjust miners, shall
withhold it from the former until not
one in five shall get his seed back from
his fallow, nor have wherewith to feed
his starving herd, still we miners may
say, as it was said of. old, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. Op Miner.
Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement has been caused
in the vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the
remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so heipiess he could not
turn in bed, or raise his head; everybody said he was dying of Consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King’s New
Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, he bought a large bottle and a,
box of Dr. King’s New Life Pills; by
the time he-had taken two boxes of
Pills and two bottles of the Discovery,
he was well and had gained in flesh

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.
Many diseases, especially those of
the nervous system, are the “products
of daily renewed mental exhaustion.
Business avocations often involve an
amount of mental wear and tear very
pesinsis to physical health, and the
professions, if arduously pursued, are
no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue, —It-is-one of the most important attributes of Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters, that it compensates for this
undue loss of issue, and that it imparts
new energy tothe brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which it renews
weakened mental energy and physical
vitality isremarkable,and shows that
its pneigorstng Po rties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital
stamina, and counteracting the effects
of mental exhaustion, this potential
medicine cures and prevents feverjand
ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia
and constipation, kidney and uterine
weakness and other complaints. Physicians also commend it as a medicated stimulant and remedy.

Diamonp Creek, Jan. 30, 1887.
Eprrok Trancrirt—The gravel deposits on Diamond Creek are being
pretty thoroughly prospected this winter. Six companies are at work almost within a stone’s throw of each
other.
E. E, Matteson & Co. are located on
the north fork of the creek. They are
running a.tunnel into the hill to strike
an old river channel that is known to
“exist there. Both below and above
this point large nuggets of gold ‘have
formance continued in_brisk demand been frequently found:
The old Lawrence claims have been
leased to Chinamen, and are being
worked by hydraulic process. They
depend entirely on_free water from
Saw Mill Flat, but they have had. verry little so far.
Oldman Merrill and his-companyy
are cleaning out and retimbering an
‘old abandoned tunnel 180 feet long
on the Chase and Sanders ground
preparatory to extending it’ into the
hilf further for prospecting purposes.
The Hunken boys, John and Nick,
are working on the opposite or south
side of the creek. Their claims are
pretty well opened, and it is supposed
that they. are receiving fair returns for
the amount of labor. performed.
“Next abové come the claims owned .
by John Dill. His ground is also well
developed. Thrée men’ are’ at work
drifting and breasting out. It is somewhat spotted on the bedrock, but on
an average it pays very fair wages for
the times. i
The adjoining claim above Dill’s is
owned by a Salt Lake company. They
have started a tunnel into the hill to
prospect the ground above the Omega
ditch, and early in the. Spring the
work of pushing the tunnel ahead will
be prosecuted with vigor. F. Fritamyster is the company’s superintendent. . j
In quartz there is nothing doing, although there are some good looking
ledges around the head of the creek.
The output of bullion from. this section may astonish the natives some
day in the near future yet.
