A MINERS SUGGETIoNs ON THE DE-
BRIS QUESTION.

c. B. Hawley, of Columbia Hill, Nevada
county, has submitted the following con-
corning the disposition of tailings from hy-
draulic mines in that section
First-Throw a stone dam across the
Yuba above Smartsviile and just below
Piper's ranch, at the Narrows, and where
the debris is still shallow. Raise the dam
each year sufficient to hold the debris and
no more. Put in breaking of timbers,
and plank the top of the dam, to protect it
against floods, removing each year before
raising the dam, and replace. A dam can
lie constructed at this point that will flow
the debris back about SIX miles, and which
would hold all the debris for twenty years
Secondary out all the farms from S. E.
Inlow's place to Dry creek and back to the
foothills. Construct levee, say FIVE feet
high the first year, and with proper luice
gates at all the low points to run off the
water after it was settled. This reservoir
say ten miles square-would hold all the
Smartsville debris. Run a tunnel to tap
the Yuba at the most favorable point in the
ravine nearest Smartsvilie to get the best
grade to carry the debris into the reservoir
and obtain all the dump possible. The
clear water flowing over the dam would
facilitate moving the Smartsville debris
into the reservoir and keep the dumps clear
The Bear river section / am not familiar
with, but doubtless tunnel through the
foothills to carry that debris into the basin
east of Sacramento would be the most
feasible.
1 consider the dam on the river of the
first Importance for several reasons. 1t
will cost not more than half the levees in
and around Marysville, while it would
at once relieve them by retaining above
and CARRYING below what is already in the
river. invite not criticism, but an ex-
animation of the whole subject Let it be
understood that we must have grade to
run tailings. These chimerical fumes
of two or three feet grade to the mile, of
some of our engineers, only elicit smile
of contempt from any hydraulic miner.
1t may be necessary to obtain legislation
in regard to diverting the waters of the
Yuba to return them as far down as Dry
creek. Ii so, surveys and estimates might
be made, and the matter brought properly
before,the State, so that operations might be
commenced early next summer.

There were three hearses, the first containing

third contained the two little ones, who had
been placed together in one coffin. The
burial services of the Catholic Church were

!, 4E INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GOV
ERNoR PERKINS.

The inaugural address of Governor Per-
ms, which We print this morning, viii
probably strike the public as modest and
unambitious but sensible and sound docu-
81 emit It IS neither to be expected nor
desired that addresses of this kind should
be weighty and labored state papers, nor is
DC reasonable to expect from man whose
" hole life has been spent in active bust
ness pursuits, the literary polish and ia
tility in composition which are the results
o. protracted study. On such an occasion
tie most that can be looked for is plain,
practical, common-sense view of whatever
topics may seem to the Executive to call
for comment or reference. This standard
is fully reached by Governor Perkins, and
it is only just to add that some parts of his
address exhibit smoothness and grasp of
language warranting the inference that
practice in this style of composition would
IN no long time endow him with an expert
ress considerably above the average. The
Governor has ranged over so wide field
taat it would indeed have been remarkable
Lad he succeeded in treating every subject
lie has touched with the same force and
fitness. The prevailing tone of the
address, however, is eminently whole
some. One perceives that it is the
work of an immature writer, but
Of a man who possesses clear. cut and sound
convictions on all vital questions, and who
is not afraid to say what he thinks in a
Straightforward. homely way. He dis
cusses more or less briefly the new Consti-
tuition, education, land monopoly, the
Chinese question, stock gambling, the
State Prison, fares and freights, revenue
aad taxation, the debris question, ETC., and
on all these subjects he speaks clearly, if
not always with special emphasis or orig
inality We do not propose to subject the
address to detailed analysis. 1t can speak
for itself, and its merits and dement's are
sufficiently obvious. We think, however,
that it is worth while to call attention to
the conservative tone which characterizes
it, and which we regard as good omen.
California has recently had a surfeit of
progressive and advanced ideas.
The promoters of that kind OF thought have
landed the State in slough of difficulty.
Their astonishing originality has for the
most part been manifested in the energetic
advocacy of schemes which had never been
tried before simply because less original
people had recognized their utter imprac
ticability. These revolutionary geniuses
have succeeded in so obscuring the princi
pies upon which republican government
rests that it has sometimes been difficult to
recognize any American kinship in their
doctrines. Governor Perkins now comes
forward as the unconscious representative
and exponent of the old-fashioned beliefs
which we all know something about, and
which most of us have learned to reverence
through practical experience of their wis
dom and we look upon the change as both
salutary and seasonable.

The Governor is sufficiently advanced to
be in sympathy with whatever wise
measures can be devised for the
advantage of the people, but he has
nothing in common with Socialism He
does not believe in an irrepressible conflict
between Labor and Capital, or in crusades
against railroads, or in distribution of
private property, or in any of the
thousand and one insane propositions
which ignorance and demagogism have
put forward of late. On one point alone
we are compelled to disagree with him,
and that is in regard to the wisdom of an
income tax Experience shows that there
is no tax at once so oppressive or SO easily
evaded as this. 1t is almost impossible to
apply it equitably, because it puts a
premium on dishonesty, and Furnishes
truth telling and probity. 1t falls most
heavily upon those whose incomes are
fixed, and they are always the poorest. It
is most easily evaded by the wealthiest,
because of the facilities that exist
for the concealment of their sources of
revenue. 1t is an inquisitorial and irr.-
Eating form of taxation, and its defects
are so great that in the opinion of the
highest economic authorities it ought
never to be resorted to save as war meas
ure, or in time of absolute necessity.
The Governor makes some practical recon-
mendations in regard to the employment
OF the convicts in the State Prison. in the
manufacture of burlaps. 1t is probable
that the present Legislature will be called
upon to take action as to the employment
of the convicts on behalf of the State, as
the new Constitution has practically de-
stroyed the contract system, though nom
inally it is not to be abolished for tw o
Years. The views of the Governor upon
Chinese immigration are thoughtful, and
will no doubt be approved by the
public. The unanimity of sentiment
which prevails on this subject
cannot but produce its legitimate
effect upon Congress eventually. In re-
gard to land monopoly he deplores the
evil, but is disposed to think that time
alone can remedy it. Probably strenuous
efforts will be made during the present ses-
sion to solve the problem more rapidly,
though with what effect remains to be
seen. The remarks upon education are
forcible, and have the true ring about
them. The depth of the CONVICTION that
the public schools are the true pillars of
the republic, here manifested, is a fresh
illustration of that thorough Americanism
which we have before referred to as a
prominent characteristic of the address.
Whether under the new Constitution it
will be possible to give to education the
position which belongs to it, is however
another question, and very serious one.
Upon the whole, we think it will be felt and
admitted that there is about this first mes
sage of Governor Perkins a geniality. a
frankness, and solidity, calculated to en-
courage high hopes for the intelligence and
straightforwardness of his administration.

Narrow Escape of DeadwOOd from De-

DEADwooD ID. t., January 8th.-The
escape of Deadwood from being totally de-
stroyed by fire second time this morning was
most miraculous. About midnight the timber
on the hillside on Shoemaker Gulch caught
fire from miners torch, and famed by a
high wind spread throughout that gulch into
Blacktail, over the divide into City creek
and Forest Hill, inside the city limits, where,
by the superhuman efforts of the firemen and
citizens, it was got under control with loss
of only a few cabins and some cordwood.
The wind blew almost hurricane, and did
considerable damage in different parts of the
city. All the stores were cleared of goods,
and had the fire reached the heart of the city
it could have destroyed but little else than
empty buildings The widest excitement
prevailed throughout the night.
