LAND OFFICE CHANGES.
George B. Cosby for Receiver-Silas
Penry Named as Register.

News arrived from Washington yes
terday that the President had ap
pointed General George B. Cosby Re-
ceiver of Public Moreys in the Land
Office here, to succeed Charles F. Gard
ner, and Silas Penry Register of the
Land OHice, to succeed Thomas Frazer,
the present incumbent
General Cosby has for some time past
been Superintendent of the Govern
me Mt Indian Farm in Amador County,
and it has been generally understood
that he would receive the appointment
of Receiver, as Mr.. Gardner's term ex-
pired over four months ago.
Register Frazer said yesterday he
thought there must be some mistake
regarding Penrys appointment in his
place, as his term does not expire till
next December. He thought it more
likely that Penry, who is a lawyer in
Jackson; Amador County, had been ap
pointed to succeed General Cosby, and
that a mistake had been made in the
telegram. He has held his office for
1tearly four years, and did not think
he would be removed until his term
expired, as President Cleveland has
generally pursued that policy.

FOREST HOME MINE.
Did the Anti-Debris Association flake
rIistake?

A correspondent of the Record
Union" writes that the action of the
Anti-Debris Association last week in
closing down the Forest Home mine by
a temporary injunction is receiving the
severest criticism by the people of Am
ador and Sacramento Counties who are
familiar with the facts. The mine was
opened some four months ago by Los
Angeles capitalists, who expended
large amount of money in laying two
miles of eighteen-inch steel pipe and
constructing and equipping plant
which in their judgment would come
entirely within the law under which
placer mines may be operated. brush
restraining and solid stone impound
ing dam and other improvements were
considered ample by the Debris Com
mission and a permit was granted.
The mine was worked with 250 inches,
which was dropped into the Arkansaw
Creek, seven miles in direct line and
ten miles by the tortuous creek bed,
from where it empties into the Cos
umnes River The Arkansaw during
the summer months is dry bed of sand
and gravel, and has it's course through
at least one large reservoir or lagoon
and numerous stretches of willow
thicketS or marshes. Not over 10 per
cent. of the water dropped by the COM
pany finds it's way into the river. With
the settling in the impounding dam and
the lagoon, and the straining through
miles of willow flats, it is absolutely
impossible for material which could be
of any appreciable damage to the river
to ever reach it.
In the bed of this same ArkanSaw
Creek and in adjacent gravel deposits
are some of the richest placers, but
the question of handling the tailings in
a channel having only few inches fall
to the mile has never been solved. The
farmers along the ten-mile stretch of
the creek should be the best judges as
to the effect of mining operations above,
and they entirely agree with the miners,
who claim that the law has been strict
ly complied with, and that no damage
has been done to the creek or river.
They declare that the Anti-Debris AS
sociation could but have acted upon
the representations of malicious per-
sons. Even the officer who served the
injunction expressed surprise after Wis
iting the mine and the creek below He
found it entirely free from deposits of
tailings or even the lighter sands.
1t would require only visit to the
Forest Home mine to convince any
fair-minded man that the company has
complied with the law, and that a great
injustice has been done by issuing an
injunction. The company has now an
irrigation system almost completed,
whereby all of the water used in the
mine will be diverted from Arkansaw
Creek and used for irrigation purposes.
There is strong feeling in the vicin-
ity of the mine that the association has
been imposed upon by designing per-
sons, and that as soon as the anti-de-
bris people possess themselves of the
facts they will remedy the wrong by a
dismissal of the injunction.
All the above statements are those of
the correspondent. The Record
Union has no means of judging their
accuracy except by the high character
of the cOrreSnondant

HARLOW'S SALARY.
His Case Against the City Continued d
Till Next Week.

Superior Judge Hinkson has granted a
continuance until next Wednesday in
the case of ]. NJ. Harlow against the
city.
Harlow is the police officer who has
been doing service in place of Robert
Ash since the latter was detailed to
perform the duties of Captain during
the suspension of Anthony Greene. Some
two months ago the City Trustees re-
fused to confirm his appointment as a
permanent officer, and since then the
Trustees have refused to allow his
salary on the ground that he is ineligi-
hle to even a temporary place on the
force
Harlow sued the city in Justice Hen
rvs Court, and judgment went against
him. He then appealed the case to the
Superior Court.
