veution. He urged it 70 act decisively, and
said all Of Colgsa was with it. Dr. Tee

DIR. TEEGARDEN
Then took the stand Ho said ona thing i'm
pressed him deeply, and that is, that the coul.-
ties below Suttsr and Yuba are taking inter
est iu this matter. But some are not feeling
deeply enough ON it. The miners began ON
the Yuba with hydraulicking in = small way,
but he and his ueighbors, not foreseeing what
was to come, felt no fear. 1t was some years
before the debris from the mines got down to
Marysville. At first the debris stopped a.
the end Of the fiume up in the mountains,
but shat tiume il now extended down almost to
and soon Soisno county will be st the eZd
of the dump. Take the Quaker Hill
mines alone; why, there are banks being
washed down there sufficient to fill the bay.
He felt that ii the people of the valley did
not pull together, they would be covered up,
as he had been over and over again and
Re movals didn't help it, for the debris fol-
loved him. and acres he owns are now COW
cred up. The hydraulic mines have done it.
They had no right to take any property OF
yours without consent" Sacramento feels,
IN part, secure, but she is not so free as she
thinks. He begged pardon for saying it, but
must say it, that he did not see Sacramento
represented in the Convention IS she should
De. Her people do not seem to realize
what threatens them. At PArks' Bar to-day
the Yuba has been lifted up $50 feet, aad as
the flame gets more pitch the longer it be-
comes, it viii in two or three years reach So
lAno county. Il has only been three or four
years siuce they found out how to use the
Little Giants effectively, and they ara in.
creasiug in number rspdly, and more water
is annually being trained to serve them, ard
so the evil increases in geometrical ratio. He
had lost his property; it is almost all under
slicksss, aad he is now old; but he still
wanted to see this fair valley saved, and her
people left to enjoy their homes [Applause
AT $50 the Convention adjourned until
