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 The ‘in vain tried to stop this exhibition of feeling, declared at this stage that Clunie’s conduct was intolerable and. he would not allow-him to speak so in 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. 2 De Prans Gets Off Easy.

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 thirty-six pounds.

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.

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. McE vy. TREES! TREES! 8 AGENT FOR W. R.
