Q.-State why.
A.-On the American river there is one mine
stopped by injunction; that was the Gold
Run mine. The Injunction was served after
the usual supply of water was exhausted.
It would have worked no more in any event.
There were five mines stopped by Injunction
in Nevada county-tl.e Excelsior, North
Bloomfield, Milton, American and Blue Tent
Companies. They were stopped early in
June. All those FIVE mines in Nevada county
are working this deep and heavy blue gravel,
in which the duty of a miners inch varies
from two and half to four yards. By these
iniunctions the water which would have been
used in these mines on that deep and heavy
gravel was sold to other companies who used
it in washing top or surface ground, so that
the ultimate result of the stoppage by injunc-
| ton was to discharge into the rivers the sur.
| face gravel instead of bottom ard heavy
gravel. Therefore, so far as these injunctions
or suits are oncerned, there was more debris
discharged into the Yuba river than would
| otherwise have been the case.
| Q.-Can you give any other explanation
why the water was clearer?
| A.-Theo only possible explanation can give,
| as far as mining is concerned. is, that gener-
ally throughout the mining district they are
working more bottom than surface gravel.
| The general tendency now is to work bottom
gravel instead of top gravel.
Q.-Mr. Grunsky and Mr. Allardt described
| their method of computing the material
| lodged in the bed of the American river.
Did you listen to their description of such
method?
Al did.
Q.-Do you consider their methods cor
rect?
Al do not.
Q.-Why not?
AIN the first place, as understand, they
| simply estimated by passing down the river
on horseback. They should, in my judgment,
have measured or surveyed. In the next
place, as to depth, they assumed that they
could tell where the original high-water mark
was. In my op' MON that is impossible for
anyone to determine. So that it was simply
guess, in which they might be very much
out Of the way probably as to the depth as
they fixed it.
Witness was questioned in regard to the
methods adopted by Messrs. Grunsky and
Allardt in obtaining data, and testified at
considerable length as to what were the
proper methods to have been adopted, in his
opinion.

do here, and expect to do here, because the
land in the valley of the Po is very fertile
and densely populated.
Oft hes been stated that Sacramento has
been injured by sipage water. State what
has been the result of that.
AIN Sacramento, my opinion is that
what they call sipage, or what has been
termed sipsge, is nothing but water which
comes from the back or high lands, together
from their water works. I have looked into
this question of sipage professionally several
times, and once or twice quite carefully. ]
have found in every case where have made
careful examination that the water was
making always into the river instead of from
the river. I remember on the Ohio river
where / made an examination. The people
insisted that the low land, which was pro-
tected by q levee, was being spoiled by sipsge
water. 1 found by comparing the depths OF
the water in several wells that even when the
river was at quite high stage that the water
was making its way into the river. That
that should be the case, it seems to me, is
very natural. [Witnees drew diagram rep
reseutine an examination made ~ him on
the Ohio river The river was up quite well
in its banks. There was a well sunk at a
point much lower than the immediate bank
Of the river, and another well, or wells, on
the higher grounds still farther back. ]
found that the water in the well next to the
river was lower than the water in the next
well immediately back Of it. and 80 on, going
towards the hill that the slope of the water
as it was making its way by percolation was
towards the river. and l think in the case Of
Sacramento that would be true also. The
tendency Of muddy water running would be
to prevent sipage. The muddy water would
fiIl up the interstices and small openings
through which the water was discharged. We

ABOUT PROPOSED PLANS OF RELIEF.
Q.-Have you ever professionally examined
the proposed plans for relief in the American
river and other rivers in the State, whose OBJ
iect is to restrain the flow of debris. and SO
prevent it from injuring the Sacramento river
and the valley lands?
Al have examined with great deal of
attention and care the several sites for pro-
posed dams whose object was to hold back
the debris which would otherwise How down
into the valley, both in the Yuba and Amer
lean rivers.
Q-Give the Court general idea Of what
these plans for relief are.
Objected to Is immaterial and irrelevant.
Mr.. Wallace-We propose to show By this

Mississippi at different points, as at Carroll
ton, Memphis, and at its mouth; the Indus,
and the rivers already given, and the author
tiles from which the statements are taken.
Q-How should the amount OF sediment In
a river be determined ?
Alt can only be determined by the
careful experiments of an engineer; and can
be determined with accuracy only by q large
number of experiments.
O.-What is the proper way for an en-
eineer to estimate the amount of damage
caused by the filling of river?
AIN my opinion the amount of damage is
best estimated by the elevation of the low
water mark. The diminishment of the carry.
ing capacity of river can be better deter.
mined by the increase in the hight a: low
water mark than by any other method, in the
absence of an accurate survey of the river.
The natural tendency of all rivers running
through an alluvial soil is for the banks to
raise.
Q.-Assuming that the low-water mark of
1881 is six and half feet higher than that of
1S49, in your Judgment as an engineer what
effect has this filing had in increasing the
hight of foods in the Sacramento,
A.-Ithink it can have had but slight
effect in increasing the hight of the high
water mark; The extent over. which high
water spreads itself after the river gets out
side of its banks is 30 much greater than the
section occupied by this filling that the filling
can have had but q slight effect on the high
water mark. If the river was confined within
its banks by levees it would have far
greater effect than is at prefent the case.
Q.-Can this raising of the low.water mark
be attributed to any other cause than the
filling of the river?
A.-There is one cause, which Is the
amount of water which is discharged from
the mining reservoirs during the low.water
season.
O.-State what reservoirs for the storage Of
water have been constructed by the miners
on the Sacramenso river drainage, and also
state, if you know, their storage capacity.
A.-The reservoirs of the Bloomfield Com
pany have capacity of 1,050. 00O, 900 cubic
! feet; the Milton Company's reservoir has q
capacity of $50, coo, 600 cubic feet; the Eu-
reka Lake Company, l. 130. O00. 900 cubic feet;
the Fordyce and the many other reservoirs OF
the South Yuba Company contain about
800, 600, 900 cubic feet; the Omega and the
Blue Point United, 300. 0o0. 900 cubic feet

Children Eaten by Wolves.

1t is certainly little startling to
hear, at this advanced period in the
history OF European civilization, that
wolves are threatening large dis
tricts within hail of populous towns
on the northern shore Of the gulf of
Finland. Such, however, appears
to be the fact, and men are now, as
in the middle ages, sustaining a
mortal combat with the wild beasts
of the forest. A correspondent at
Hango states that eleven children
have, during two months, been car
ried off by those ferocious maraud-
ers, stealing down from the neigh
boring woods 10 the very thresholds
of the peasants houses. His chal-
lenge to English lovers OF advent
urous sport is one that may be taken
up in earnest, the promise Of ex-
citement being more likely to tempt
keen sportamen than the offer of a
reward which has been placed by
the Finnish authorities on the head
of every wolf killed or captured.
Two kinds OF dogs are indicated by
our correspondent as most servicea-
bic i'm wolf hunting. These are
sheep dogs and bull dogs-the for
mer we suppose, to drive the game
and bring it into a circle, and the
latter to pull it down. Wolf skins
are handsome trophies, and if some
scores of English hearths should be
ornamented with such tokens of
manly sport, it will enhance the
value of these picturesque rugs to
know that every one means the re-
mOval from a suffering peasantry of
a cruel and deadly scourge.-L Lon

them to say that these things are
disagreeable, for in reality the

The Ponca (Neb) Coal Company,
having struck four and one-hsif feet
of good coal at the depth of 5741s
feet, in the northern part OF the
State, has made application for the
$4,000 reward offered under the
laws of Nebraska to the first discOv-
erers of a vein of twenty-six inches
or more. Says the Northern Ne.
braska Journal, of Poncs, in this
connection:
The discovery of bed of coal
here, considering the similarity of
the formations above it with those
above the mines IN Iowa and Fl.
Leavenworth, indicates that coal un-
derlies Western 10 wa and the east
ern part of Nebraska. The layers
of rock and coal dip to the south
east. At Omaha they have an arte-
sian well about 700 feet deep, yet
the prospect hole at POnca struck
the formation found at the bottom
of the Omaha well at a depth OF
about 500 feet. Hence, if the Oms-
hs we'll had been put down about
100 feet farther, it would have found
the same vein our company struck.

Of the coal prospects here, our neigh

feet, if nothing interesting is found
above that. st. James will bore for

Sioux City contemplstes an artesian
well, with coal accompaniment. The
land owners near the Big Sioux mill,
five miles north of Elk Point, ID. r.,
