DAM RESOLUTIONS.

Yesterday The Board of City Trustees held

grsphed to the Secretary of War at once:
Hon. Robert T. lincoln. Secretary OF War, Wash
irgton ID. c.: At meeting Of the Trustees OF the
City OF Sacramento, held this 18th day Of August,
1888, the following was unanimously adopted and
ordered transmitted to you by telegraph:
WHEREAS, An apparently authentic rumor has
come TO us 10 the effect that some Congressman and
ex Congressman from California have united with
the hydraulic miners IN an endeavor to prevail on
you to permit the appropriation placed in your
custody for the improvement and preservation Of
the navigation of the Sacram ento and Feather
r1yers," TO be used for the construction of dams
therein, earnestly but respectfully urge you 10
adhere to your original determination upon this
subject-not TO allow that money, or any portion
thereof, to be used in the construction of dams
while hydraulic mining continues. The constTuc-
ton OF dams is urged for the sole purpose of allow
ing the hydraulic miners, who have done so much
harm already TO our waterways and lands 10 con-
tinue in their work of destruction, to still pour
their detritus into the pubic streams to further
to place in still greater jeopardy the capital Of
California, with Its S20,000,000 of property and
% 900 population.
We ask you, then, in the name of our injured
people. and in the name of common Justice not to
let the public money be used to add TO our affection
We hereby instruct the City Attorney to take such
legal measures may be necessary to prevent debris
dams being constructed in the river north or east Of
this city, and to secure the punishment of all per
sons committing, or attempting to commit such
nusances.

A GREAT IRON MINE.-The Sierra Valley
Leader of August 10th furnishes the fol.
lowing:
We understand from reliable authority
that the great iron mine near Mohawk
valley is about to pass into the hands of a
syndicate of Boston capitalists who propose
to proceed to develop it. It is undoubted-
ly the largest body of iron ore on this coast,
and is inexhaustible, and further than that,
the quality is better than any ore in the
United States, being the same as that from
which the celebrated Russian and Swedish
iron is made. It has been lying idle be-
cause there has been no means of trans
porting its products, but now railroad is
proposed from some near point on the Cen.
tral Pacific, to run through Sierra valley,
tapping its agricultural resources and the
immense tracts Of timber in the vicinity,
and from thence into Mohawk valley to the
mine. A surveying party may be set to
work this fall making the preliminary sur
veys, and it is thought that within two
years the mine will be turning out its pro-
ducts to the world.

The latter, considering themselves some
thing of adopts in the gambling line, took
the red man for greenhorn, and con-
cluded to rope him in. The Indian, on
the other hand, took the measure of his
pale friends. and was just hunting for .
game himself. At it they went. The
result was that every dollar in the pockets
OF the white crowd was transferred in an
Incredibly short time to the pockets of
the Indian, amounting to $3.50. The way
they took the poor Indian IN is stand
