to Begin Some New
Actions.

Chairman Thomas Jenkins presided
at yesterdays meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Anti-Debris Associa-
tion, Secretary Cosner of Colusa Off
4ciating in his regular capacity.
The monthly report of Manager
Phipps explained the operations of the
Watchman and the circumstances un-
der which certain mines are being
worked by permits from the Govern
ment Debris Commission.
In some instances these mines had
caused such injury that complaints
were made to the Commission and the
permits Cancelled. Owing to the guam
tity of water available for hydraulic
mining purposes and the starting up of
mines that cannot be worked when the
water supply is short, it had become
necessary to put on Two additional
watcLmen, making four now in the
field. The watchmen report that sew
eral of the dams are in a dilapidated
condition, and proceedings Will be taken
immediately to restrain all such mines.
A petition was received from Patrick
Campbell of Smartsville, Yuba County,
asking that the injunction issued
against him by the Superior Court of
tuba County be raised to enable him to
work a specified portion of his mine,
and the association unanimously de-
MED the request.
The attorney for the association was
instructed to commence legal proceed
ingS against certain persons and COM
panieS who are engaged in illicit hy-
draulic mining, but whose names are
withheld from publication until the pa
pers can be prepared and served.
The attorney reported as to the pro-
ceedings had before the United States
Debris Commission relative to the Kate
Hayes mine. The Commission revoked
the permit of this mine, and it is not
now in operation.
