HYDRAULIC MINING.

OF all the great evils that have ever
cursed California, perhaps hydraulic
mining has been productive Of the worst
results. The bays have been filled up
with "tailings" until, with the excep-
tion OF San Francisco, there is scarcely
a good harbor in the Golden State. The
many millions Of dollars Of gold rescued
by the hydraulic process are no compen-
sation for the incalculable damage done
by filling up the rivers with sediment
until every year the agricultural dis
tricts are overfiowed. The Sacramento
was a fine river once but now it is a
muddy, shallow stream, liable at any
time to overflow the surrounding coun-
try, and almost unfit for steam boating
purposes. Levees have been built at
great expense, but are inadequate to
keep the valley from being flooded
whenever there is high water. The
levees are liable at.any time TO break
ages, and the consequences are very dis
astrous. The deposit Of sediment
uuupe luNo lllt AlhGl5 bF ngulauAlC
miners was so great that the farmers OF
California were forced to take legal
methods to abate the nuisance. The
matter was finally decided in their IA
vor, after hard struggle. The trouble
is all to be experienced over again in
Oregon. Some of the rivers in this
State are beginning to show the effect OF
the constant accumulation Of settings.
1t appears that nothing is to be gained
/ by the experience Of California in this
matter. Southern Oregon is just now
making complaint. That section, be-
ing the great mining section ofthe State,
is the first to feel the result. Hydraulic
companies should be restrained from
depositing "tailings" in streams. The
/ bed of Scott River is filling up more
every year, and, II the evil is not RENE
died, much Of the most fertile land Of
the valley will be rendered worthless.

Their eudeavors to save the country are
already bearing fruit. As brilliant a
move as they have made on the Con-
gressional checkerboard was the refusal
10 appropriate funds for the payment Of
the L. ;. marshals. Commissioner
Raum, Of the Internal Revenue, says Of
the measure:
The failure 10 provide for the deputy mar
shals is virtual repeal OF the criminal portion
ofthe law relating 10 Illicit disulling. Deputy
collectors Of internal revenue have power %
make seizures of property for violations OF the
law, but have not power 20 make arrests. II @
person IS detected In Illicit distilling, he can
not prevent the officers from seizing the distil-
lerv. but he can stand still and defy arrest
By next Sunday every distller in the country
will know what the effect viii be Of having no
deputy marshals 10 aid revenue officers, and
suppose the dishonest ones viii seek TO take
advantage of the crippled condition Of the
Office.
Attorney-Ge Devens has advised
the q. 5. marshal at Detroit, who
wrote to him for instructions, to perform
the usual duties Of his Office, which be
is in no way forbidden TO do, to the ex-
tent Of his power. Tie law prescribe:
the duties and afixes certain fees, and
although no appropriation has been
made for payment Of the fees, Deven'
thinks there is good ground OF obligation
against the United States where service;
Of deputies are required and expendi-
lures are TO be made. The marshal:
viii have TO rely on future legislation
by Congress that "lil be Just to them.
A post Office agent has arrested a mai

Texas, where be was ordered remov,-
for trial, as the marshals have no rnopa,
to pay expenses. The agent has had +,

before the long journey is finished.
When the country next selects repre-
sentatives from its recognized citizen
to legislate for the public veal, the no,
dominant party will discover, to its T,
gret, the full significance Of this meas
ure, as well as those it failed to engra
on the statute books.
