| ton bill.
|
! uay. ME as recommended TO pass, while
on that OF the day before il appeared as
! recommended not TO pass,
Inom2s thought as il was substituted
! Tor the Assembly bill, and was passed bv
the Senate, that it carried a favorable
reG ; ol3hl!nehuatloh with 1t, but the Speaker
1 ruled differently.
| Cutter said that, as he had stated be-
! Iorer this bill VIII simply put the Coun-
/ Ties OF Sacramento, Iuba and Suffer To
great extra expense, but il Will do tae
/ miners no good, as those counties will
/ simply set the cases for trial and secure a
( permanent injunction, instead Of az At
/ present, temporary Injunction The
/ gentleman from Nevada Introduced a bill
/ mere Two years ago in the interest of the
miners, and secured its passage. The
! valley people only objected to that bin
/ on the question OF what should be con-
| sldered material injury. That bill se-
cured to the gentleman from his con.
siituents on his return home a banquet, q
/ gold watch, a diamond Iocket ANA a re-
election.
/ lie was glad the gentleman had secured
/ IheSe thugs, but he thought the House
| should give him Gutter a chance TO get
| from Els constituents a banquet. noId
| watch, diamond locket and a re- election.
! Laughter and applause. He thought
ne was entitled TO an equal chance
! spencer, IN q long speech, said it was
! an outrage TO treat the miners as tnev had
/ been treated ana prevent them from min
! ing because some man in the valley
wants to raise pumpkin on his land,
| he hoped the bill would pass
Inc Speaker gave notice that ne should
/ enforce the tive-minute rule hereafter
| Thomas said he had never occupied the
( Iloof Tor i've minutes. lie was not max
ing fight for this bill on his own 8c-
! count or that OF his county, bat on ac-
/ count OF the old pioneers, the men who
/ nave made the State what il is. He
asked IL Tor the sake of the DOOR min
/ ers, who were for the whole State
who were engaged in what must be-
sooner or Iater, the leading Industry OF
California. For fifteen years have these
mines been shut down, and depression
has relgned al over the State WHila thn
miners were getting s. day, and the
farmers only 81 q day and board. Tho
former were pouring gold into the cham
neis OF trade. The San Francisco Cham
Der OF Commerce has indorsed tho miners
and promised TO stand by them. He
made an eloquent appeal to the House to
give the poor miners relief.
Hatfield said that the courts to-day
provide complete relief for any one who
comes TO them with proper showing FOR
the dissolution OF an Injunction. The
minors may be doing no damage to the
valley now, but If present restraints are
removed 1t VIII not DO long before tLev
will do so. In such a case the residents
OF the valley viii be compelled to open
up again question that has been settled.
and IN selt-deiense they would be Obliged
TO secure permanent iniuncuong. There
Is not court IN this State that Will nun
lsh man who Is doing no injury.

the destruction wrought by hy.iraulir
mining, and described what he saw on q
recent trip to Chico.

gentleman wished 10 insist on CHOKING

self he would not take such an advani;tge
OF any gentleman on the floor SDGucer
Withdrew his objection, but Cutter de-
| cllned 10 speak.
Laugenour. related how his father. who
was pioneer, had told him and showed
him what the state OF affairs was before

| damage had ensued from that sIvlg OF
mining.
Mcheiyey said the bill should DO

prohiolled iron carrying on his business
