Eastern Ignorance of tho West.
lsan Frnnelsoo post.I


The New York San, which has a fac
nlty OF displaying the most remarkable
ignorance concerning all that portion of
the United States territory lying west Of
the Hudson river, designates the coun-
try along the line OF the Central Pacific,
between Ogden and Sacramento, rs n
"Wilderness. To attempt TO refute
such am assertion would be waste of
time, MS there Is not sehoolboy living
west of the Rocky mountains who does
not know that it is silly statement.
There is more wilderness ON the lines OF
the New York Central, or Pennsylvania
Central Railroads than ON any portion of
Nevada or California, through which
railroad runs, that has ms wild look as
the forests of New York and Pennsyl-
vania. II is true that Nevada has bar.
rem and desolate look, but in the most
forbidding looking places feeds the
cattle, which furnish beef to tic
klo the palates of the epicures
of New York; the State produces the
finest qualities Of cereals and vegetables,
and gave forth the gold and silver that
enabled the resumption of specie pay
ments. From the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada to the city Of Sacramento there
are more smiling farms. fruitful orchards
green pastures and fat grain fields in
sight from the railroad than there are in
sight from the cars of the Hudson river
road between Albany and New York.
Mr.. Damn, of the Sun, intends to visit
California, and when he returns to New
York will probably administer mild re.

Dana, like other Eastern tourists, may
scare at first at sight Of Indians in full

The Hydraulic Mines.
lsaerancnto Bee. ]

i'AN'N'AN.NeN ~NNf
No observing man acquainted with the
condition of the Sacramento Valley, and
who knows how much the rivers and
bays have been filed by debris since
hydraulic mining began, can 90 through
the chief hydraulic mining regions OF
the State, which lies between the South
and Middle Yubas, and see the work
that is laid out there, and the modes and
means Of doing it, without being more
than ever convinced;
/. That hydraulic mining is but in its
infancy.
2. That II long conducted as now the
Sacramento Valley win be rendered un-
inhabitablc
3. That oil the dams that have been
put in, or are liable to be constructed, to
check the flow of debris into the valley,
cannot hold back but spoonful out Of a
bucketful.
4. That one of two things must soon
come TO pass; either hydraulic mining
must be stopped or this valley must be
deserted by man.
No ono can Wow the terribly destruc-
tive energy Of an eight.inch monitor, or
of six.inch monitor, having pressure
OF water with q four hundred feet per-
pendicular head, and then consider that
thousand, or perhaps more, are
at work night and day without
cessation, using, for the purpose of
tearing down the mountains aud spread
ing them over the valley, all the water
that comes from the higher Sierra. The
mountains are being dofaced and rem
dercd useless for stock raising, orchard
izing or farming, whilo the navigation is
being destroyed in the rivers, and the
valley lands rendered valueless. These
hydraulic miners, with wonderful skill,
untiring energy, and by vast expondi-
ture Of money, have chained the waters
OF the higher Sierra, and made them
their abject willing slaves, irresistible
in power. Anyone who considers the
mode and extent Of hydraulic mining,
and who Is cognizant Of tho fact that
this system of general destruction is
only beginning, cannot fail to be
convinced that the Sacramento
Valley is doomed If that devastating
work shall be continued. ~
