pTOyemeDt OF Tie Sacramento, san Joaquin ana
Feather rivers and fetaluma Creek lie com
metclai interests OF California and OF Inc Wh0le
nalion demand that this appropriation be maze
W. W. Kellogg of Plumas spoke in favor
OF the memorial as amended
j. Is. HobsOn Of Placer was opposed 10
any memorial shat did not make mention OF
dams on the Bear and American rivers as
well as the Yuba.
r. Z. Devlin of Sacramento thought Hob
son mlSconstrued the meaning OF the me-
mortal, which really asked Congress to APP
propriate money for the construction OF
dams wherever necessary.
Alter Mr.. HobSon had reiterated his
opinion, Mr.. TulOck of Calaveras asserted
that the interests of the south were not pro-
tected, ana he demanded that the memorial
be further amended so as TO extend assist
ance to every mining district IN the state
lie then proceeded to dtnOunce the kepuOll-
can party for its inactiOn in protecting me
mining industry, and was promptly called
to ORDER for his remarks. Thereafter ne
continued TO speak to the question IN gran
eloquent language, which provoked laughter
| instead Of applause, and continued to holu
the floor in the face Of considerable opposl-
ton till knocked out on another point o.
! oTder-that he was arguing case that dlu
not exist.
NO DOCTORING OR PATCHING.
Mr.. FulweiIer of Placer came forward
with another amendment, which brought
remark from Y. 5. McClatchy that 1t was
not wise To doctor or patch the memorial
without submitting the amendment to the
committee which prepared it.
Mr.. FulweileT replied that he was salts
| fled with the committees report himself,
but to convince the dissdents that their IN
| terests were to be protected he wished 10
have the few explanatory words he sub
mltted included in the memorial.
Walling Of Nevada believed me Of the
delegates were labOring under a msappre-
hension and agreed that the explanatory
words should be embodied 50 as TO make
| the memorial more general.
ThereupOn Mr.. Fulweier's amendment
was submitted to the convention and car
rled. Ii reads as follows
And that said restraining dams shall be built
In such rivers and streams ana at such places
therein as the needs OF the mining industries
ana the protection and preservation of farming
ana other resources of the State may require as
may be recommended by Government engineers,
and that all such dams shall be built and main
tanned out OF the Government appropriation ana
al its expense
The memorial as amended was then
adopted as whole.
The Chair announced the next order of
! business as being the formation of a per-
manent State association for the purpose Of
| promoting the mining Industry Of Cali
fOrnia.
Thereupon the convention proceeded to
the election Of permanent officers, and
Grove l.. Johnson proposed j. II. Nett as
President. Hale WalIing. Kellogg and
others seconded the nomination, which was
Immediately carried by reclamation.

CONGRATULATIONS EXTENDED.
That concluded the regular business of
the convention. but before adjOurning the
representatives OF the farming element
shook hands, metaphorcaliy speaking with
the miners.
c. Z. Berry, on behalf Of the farmer, as
sured the convention Of the good will of
every one in his section of the country.
which was known as the hOtbed Of the anti
debris party. He accepted the pledge that
the miners would abstain from hydraulic
mining until the Government reached
solution Of the trouble. Since the miners
have accepted the situation, nothing but
good could come of the union which was
brought about in that convention. When
solution OF the difficulty is reached all Will
be benefited. The miners can extract their
gold, and the farmers will be able TO utilize
the waters from the hills in irrigating their
lands and making the valleys blossom.
G. w. Cross of San Francisco argued that
the miners were a law-abiding class and
showed that though 100000 men we're thrown
out or employment and 500, 600, 900 OF
property destroyed only sixteen charges OF
breach OF the laws were laid against them
in the seven years of the controversy
DIR. Harvey Of Sacramento and Mr..
Trigido also addressed the meeting, which,
after the adoption of complimentary reso-
lu'ions to the permanent officers, adjourned
