THAT MINING INJUNCTION.
Supervisors Wish to Do Justice to the
Miners.
A Committee Will Investigate the
Forest Hill and Other Mines

A committee from the Sacramento
Board of Supervisors, consisting of
William Curtis and John brennan, left
yesterday for the foothills to examine
the hydraulic mines at Michigan Bar,
Forest Home and Indian Diggings re-
Gently closed by temporary injunction.
Chairman Morrison, in speaking to a
Record Union" reporter, said that pro-
tests had been coming in from every
side claiming that great injustice was
Icing done to the miners, they having
complied with the law in operating the
mines. Especially had there been earn
est appeals for the Forest Home mine.
'-Of course all these mines have been
classed by our informant" said Mr..
Morrison, as running in violation of the
debris law and a clean sweep was
made Of them. II it should be a fact that
one or two of them alone is responsible
for the debris which it is claimed is go
ing into the river we are anxious to
know it, or whether, as claimed by
many, all are complying with the Cami-
netti law. There is not a member of the
Sacramento board. as / believe who will
show the slightest partiality for either
the farmers or miners. We want to do

earliest opportunity to correct any mis-
take, should investigation prove that
one has been made, and have accord
ingly sent committee to visit the

THE TAX DEFEATED.
What a Resident of Capital District
Says About 1t.

Yesterday morning, on the strength
Of a telephone message from Oak Park
on what was considered reliable author
fly, the Record Union" published a
statement that at the election in Capt.
tai District the proposition to levy a tax
for the enlargement of the present Oak
T'ark schoolhouse and the building of a
schoolhouse on the Louisiana Tract, had
been carried by majority of forty-five.
This proves not to have been the case,
as the proposition was defeated by a
vote of 100 to 60. The reasons for this
action will be found in the following
communication:
Eds. Record Union:" You evidently
We're misinformed regarding the school
election in Capital District on Thursday
last. as instead of the tax being voted
the proposition was defeated by about
fifty majority. There was considerable
antagonism engendered between the
country and the Oak Park sides of
the district.
1t must not be understood that those
who opposed the levying of this tax are
unprogressive and opposed to the pro-
rnotion of the educational facilities in
the district. as they are decidedly in
favor of 1t, but they wish to see It
brought about in the right way and jus
tiee done to all. which would have been
impossible under the proposition sub
mitted. hence a large majority of the
Voters felt as If they could not conscien-
tiously support it.
ONE OF THE OPPOSERS.
The result is unfortunate for the chill
dren of the district, however, as fully
LOG of them will be unable to attend
school except in the order in which they
