TIL HYDRAULIC MINING BILL.

1t is to be hoped that the permissive
bill for hydraulic mining will be aban-
doned. 1t is a sweeping ard impracticable
measure. 1t would compel miners not
needing to build dams to contribute to
their construction, and proposes a scheme
Of dam construction that We do not believe
to be feasible or to be guarded by proper
securities. 1t does not give any greater
right to mine than miners now have, but
does seek to confer the right to take and
dam streams and to condemn property for
construction of debris repositories in
manner that is loose, to say the least If
engineering science develops any method
by which hydraulic mining can be con-
tinued without injury to lands below, it
will be well to consider it, But in the bill
before us it is permitted to foul the streams
to the full extent Of all matter that the
water will carry in suspension, and to that
the people Of the valley are not ready, nor
will they be, to agree. The Temple de-
cision, it is true, did look to such posi-
bility, but more recent decisions are more
stringent, and that the State will ever 90
behind them is unthinkable. There is
one thing settled, and that is, that it is
the policy Of this people to restore the
rivers as fully rs may be to their original
condition Of purity and usefulness, and
not to permit the streams to be carriers
of the results of hydraulic mining.
To repeat, there should be no legislation to
enlarge the privileges of hydraulic mining
beyond the declarations of the Courts con-
corning the law of the matter. To do so
will be in the direction of determining in
advance what is, and what is not. damaging
to streams and adjacent lands; to estop
appeal for relief, for instance where even
the matter carried in suspension results
disastrously. 1t is known that hydraulic
mining effects have been severely felt at
yet very little, if any, matter
has come down the river to this point ex-
cent in SuSupuSioD
