SOME COAST GOSSIP.
Mr.. Caminetti Kindly Instructs
Dan Lamont.
The Orders for the Enforcement
of the Hydraulic Mining Bill
Should Be Broad.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. March 4-Representatlve
Caminetti had talk with Secretary of War
Lamont to-day concerning the regulations
which will be issued soon 10 govern War
Department engineers in executing the pro-
visions OF the hydraulic mining bill. Mr.
Camlnetti will also see Brigadier- General
Casey, chief of engineers, and go over the
whole situation with him, but 1t was
thought well enough that the Secretary Of
War himself should be fully posted. 1t is
OF the utmost Importance that the regula-
tions soon to be issued by the War Depart
ment 70 the engineers should be broad in
their scope, and worded so as TO give Drac-
teal effect TO the measure. If enforced In
perfunctory way, Caminetti says, the bill
as passed will amount to nothing.
Senator White is we'll pleased over his
assignment TO the Commerce Committee,
which is identical to the River and Harbor
Committee OF the House as far as the i'm
provement of the navigable waters of the
U1ited States is concerned, and he hopes
that Caminetti or some other California
representative will be given membership
on the latter, so that substantial appro-
prlat!on may be secured at The next session
for defining the channels of streams in the
foothills tributary 20 the great San Joaquin
anu river systems.
