ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN Francisco, Nov. 10.-The commit
tee appointed by the Board OF Trade to in
vestigate the debris question and report
on some basis Of compromise between the
farmers and miners, has completed its re-
port. After reviewing the recent tour
through Yuba, Suffer and Nevada Coun-
ties, and considering the great damage in
ficted on the water courses and farming
productions by the deposit Of debris from
the mines. and, on the other hand, the
magnitude of the mining interest, invol-
wing, as it does, one-eighth Of the present
gold product Of the world, and consider
ing, also, the fact that the safety of the
valley depends not only upon the stoppage
of further debris, but also the retention OF
the vast masses of debris already washed
out n liable to be carried down by Win
ter flows, the report concludes by recon-
mending that dams be at once constructed
on Yuba river, below the junction OF Deer
Greek, and at Deger's Point; that the
brush dam on the Yuba River be at once
repaired; that the entire cost of construc-
ton, maintenance and repair Of dams
should be borne by the mining interests;
that the Federal Govermentshould be urged
to appropriate enough sums to dredge and
otherwise improve the navigation of the
sacramento and Feather Rivers in the in
terest of commerce; that all litigations be
suspended between the parties interested;
that security against further damage is
imperative, but whether that shall involve
the stoppage Of mines during the
construction Of dams, is not our province,
but that of q convention to decide; that 10
bring about the cooperation Of conflicting
interests, secure an equitable adjustment
OF the matter, and>adopt and carry out q
speedy plan, and q convention to be called
in San Francisco, to convene Thursday
November IL, 1881; that the Anti-Debri
Association of Sacramento Valley, and the

gates to form said convention, duly author
lied to act on this and all other subjects

question, and IL they deem 1t advisable.

The Bulletin this afternoon will publish
q series OF interviews with represen tatiye
business men In all branches Of trade,
setting forth the general condition Of Ter.
camille affairs. 1t shows that within the
last Is months there has been a gro wth of
trade, not OF the nature OF a boom, but Of
steady. healthy and legitimate growth.
This has been particularly noticeable
within the present season, especially with
regard to interior trade. One indication
OF the prosperity Of the interior Is that the
up country dealers, instead Of asking long
time, are now d~iscounting their credit and
anticipating-maturity Of their obligations.
The opinion OF gentlemen interviewed ia
to the general effect that the increasing
prosperity ia duo to the restoration Of con-
hdence in the community, good crops and
q cessation OF the mining stock specula-
ton, which has caused the diversion OF
large amounts into legitimate business
channels. The article clearly shows a
steady and rapid advance in the substan-
tiAl prosperity Of the city and State.
