hydraulic Mining Threatens to De-
stroy the Hnrbor on the Pacific

(From the Scientific American)
In California a renewal of the old agita-
ton against hydraulic mining has been
started by Influential agriculturists. IL is
asserted that the restraining dams built
under the Camenatti act, for holding back
the debris of the mines, are Intellectual and
do not fulfill the purpose intended, the re-
suit often of faulty construction or DELHI
crate indifference to the careful require
ments OF the law Chinese are the principal
offenders and much litigation has beea the
result. Floods have swept many OF the
frail structures with all their accumula-
tions Of sand and rocks. away, and the
consequences have been the ruin of agri-
cultural lands and the increased shoaling
of navigable streams. Fifty years ago be-
gan the disastrous filling up of streams,
caused by the general and unrestrained
pursuit of hydraulic mining. No es. Innate
can be made of the quantities OF debris
washed down by this process The evil re-
suits are visible in thousands of acres of
fertile valley lands deeply covered over
with sterile sands washed down by flooded
streams from the mountains above The
area Of navigable waters of the State Is
seriously curtailed.
In lS49 the Sacramento River was a clear
and limpid stream, navigable for vessels
dra wing seventeen feet of water as far in
land as where the city of Sacramento now
stands. and for 200 miles further for YES
sells of seven or eight feet draft. Now
steamers and barges drawing not over
three and one -half feet can navigate the
river at summer stages to Sacramento, and
but twenty inches II they are bound TO
Red Bluff. The three fath.m limit, which
in 1919 extended 20 Sacramento. has con-
tracted at-the rate OF one mile per annum
for the last fifty years, and is now at Porto
Costa.
For over twenty years, or SINCE the
cessation of hydraulic mining, the streams
of California have never reganed their
original limpidity and are even now appar-
emily bringing down as great an amount of
solid matter as ever. This is accounted
for. in part, by the vast mounds of debris
thrown out by early operations. which
eventually, find their way into the current
through the operations OF foods. But the
process OF flling up the bay comes also
through the involuntary assistance of the
agriculturists themselves. Scientific inves
tigation demonstrates that the silt now
flowing into the hay is not from the noun
tains altogether, but is in great part the
soil washed from lands plowed for agricul-
tural purposes. The very element that SO
consistently demanded and achieved the
destruction OF hydraulic mining is now do
ing that for which they successfully de-
Eounced an Interest which in the past has
contributed - greatly to enrich the world.
