Engineers Report ON Hydraulic Mining

Engineers Report ON Hydraulic Mining.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 2.--The secretary OF
war today submitted to congress the report of
the commission of army engineers which in
vestigated the mining debris question in Cali
fornia. The report says:
Hydraulic mining can be prosecuted without
injury to farming lands or rivers in the mining
region OF the Klamath and its tributaries. The
navigation of rivers in the Sacramento valley
It says, has been injured by hydraulic mining
through the deposit of vast quantities of mining
debris in the valleys OF the Sacramento and
Feather rivers. In addition there are vast de-
posits OF material which will be carried down
during floods and eventually lost in these
streams. 1t is proposed to improve the rivers,
first, by restraining the debris now
lodged in the canons Of the Yuba
and Bear, and in the plains below, by
dams and other restraining means; second, by
contracting the width of the rivers by brush
wing dams in their beds. The system OF re-
straint will be continued until the rivers in
their improved condition can carry the material
brought down. Estimates for these improve
ments are: Feather river, wing dams, $4,000;
Sacramento river, wing dams, O0000; dam on
Yuba river at Deguerrc point, from 100000 to
600, according to height; dam on Bear river
at Van Giesens, $150,000; restriction works on
the Yuba, below the foothills, $4,000, and
$4,000 annually for maintaining navigation on
the Feather

81. LOUIS, Feb. 2l.-St. Louis today babe an
impressive farewell to General sherman. For
the first time in several days the sun shone out
glonously, but its rays fell upon a city draped in
mourning. The hearts OF the people were sad
deneo, and with one accord all manner of men
abandoned their earthly pursuits and assembled
along the line OF the funeral procession to do
homage to the honored dead. 1t was soldiers
funeral, the funeral of general, but not alone
OF one whose last journey was attended with
honors due his rank, but of an officer beloved by
the army and honored by the people. For miles
the streets were lined with solid wall of peo-
pie, standing at least dozen deep The grief of
those in the procession was not alone genuine,
but apparent to everyone.
The dead generals comrades of Ransom Post
marched in hollow square about the caisson,
ana every face wore that solemn look which
said too plainly for words, 81 have lost
friend.'
Following the caisson was handful OF the
old Thirteenth infantry, Shermans first COM
mand In the war, small and griefstricken body
OF men, following their old1eader over road
which they too must travel at no very dis
tant day. There were besides thousands of vet
Grams OF the war, members of the Grand Army,
old and grizzled comrades in arms of the dead
general. Slowly they walked. and only too
plainly was it written that the ravages of time
were fast depicting their ranks. Yet none OF
them were SO old or feeble that they would ad-
nit, even to themselves, that they were taxing
their strength in following sherman to Calvary,
even as they had followed him to Savannah.
While there was no order, in the full sense of
the word, the jam of people coming in from the
various intersecting streets when the procession
started was something terrible. On Pine street
alone 1t was estimated there were gathered over
100000 people. Marching through Pine street
the magnificence of the military display was
best seen. Truly it was Just what the old hero
wanted-a military funeral. The heavy rumble
Of artillery, the clatter OF cavalry horses hoofs
on the pavement, mingled with the cIang ana
jingle OF the sabre and spur, and steady tramp,
tramp OF infantry, as the column passed, made
spectacle never to be forgotten.
