The Supreme Court order relative to the
hydraulic mining cases was staying Judge
keyser sitting in the case and not an order
suspending the injunction. The mistake is
thus explained: Petitions for writs of pro.
hibition we're filed by various gravel mining
companies Of Yuba county against Judge
Keyser, Superior Judge of that county. The
writs were sought for the purpose of causing
the Court to desist from acting in the cases
now pending in Yuba county, in an action to
restrain the various mining companies from
depcsiting the tailings and debris into the
Yuba river or its tributaries. 1t was alleged
that the Judge is interested, by reason of real
estate owned by him in the county. The Su-
preme Court Friday granted writ. returna-
BILE July 10Th, requiring Judge Keyser to
show cause why he should not be perpetually
prohibited from acting in his judicial capac-
ity in the premises. Through some mistake,
or otherwise, clause was interpolated into
the order of the Court to the eff ct that the
injunction of the Superior Court was stayed.
Upon the receipt of this news the hydraulic
miners became jubilant, and proposed to start
up forthwith. They got out anv;!s and fred
of salutes. and had gay time. Saturday
morning the Court amended the order stay
ing the injunction and leaving it in fun force,
effecting. corresponding dampening in the
spirits of the niners.
